President Zelensky suggests Trump's election can strongly affect war.
The result of the upcoming 2024 U.S. presidential election can "very strongly" influence the course of Russia's war against Ukraine, President Zelensky said during a press conference on Dec. 19.
In one year, New York City's messaging went from "you do you" to "mask up with an N95."
This didn't happen by chance. Advocates and groups like Covid Advocacy NY organized to take down the MTA signs and attended every NYC council hearing on COVID to push for better messaging. Advocacy works!
From the outside, it's easy to say "oh of course NYC has N95 signs, they are so progressive." But the truth is that we are not. New York's COVID response has been & continues to be problematic. But thanks to the tireless work of advocates, we are getting some wins. Don't give up!
I cannot for the life of me come up with anything useful or interesting to contribute to this hashtag (I’ll keep thinking!). However I’d love to hear anything my friends might want to share - you are all so clever and interesting!
See linked post for more information.
(If you share something, don’t forget to use the hashtag and set visibility to public so others can find and enjoy it too!) 😊
Teach me something insignificant and simple that seem obvious. I might not know it and be glad to learn it.😉
I'll do one.
On Windows, if you are in a text area (text curser blinking), if you press and hold the Windows key :windows: on your keyboard then press the period, an emoji keyboard pops up so you can insert an emoji into what you are typing.
@nixCraft the year of the linux desktop will occur when we stop asking ourselves if this is the year of the linux desktop and just let it happen organically
#transportation staff like to say that their agency (be it city or state) is like a big boat that's hard to turn, but it's on course to vastly overshoot our #carbon budget of a livable planet, and all viable turns don't change that. #ClimateAction requires us to dismantle or drastically alter that boat, not just turn the rudder.
@enobacon When turning a large boat you have to plan ahead and start the turn early. However transit systems in general are not interested in turning the boat. Most transit officials have goals completely unrelated to transit, so they won't make the decisions to start useful turns. And even if that wasn't the case, most transit systems don't have enough money to make a useful change and it isn't in their control to get more (but this is second because there are small changes most can make in their budget that would improve things if they cared to try them).
"Experts have been selected to create a multidisciplinary volume with a thematic approach to the vast subject, tackling administration, army, economy, law, mobility, religion (local and imperial religions and Christianity), social status, and urbanism. They situate the phenomena of Latinization, literacy, bi-, and multilingualism within local and broader social developments and draw together materials and arguments that have not before been coordinated in a single volume."
"This interdisciplinary study analyses the connections between literary Modernism and right-wing ideology. Moreover, it is the first academic study to explore the reception of these Modernist authors by today's far right, seeking to understand in what ways they use strategic readings of Modernist texts to legitimise right-wing ideology."
You know what makes me happy? Looking up something weird like "why does my carrot have a green ring inside" and finding a forum post from like 2010 with a bunch of gardening enthusiasts discussing it. Forums are great. Searchable, readable, text. Still works 13 years later. Wonderful.
WTF is point in digital safe spaces, if all it does is remove progressive voices from reaching the malleable middleground who are constantly bombarded with RWing bullshit.
Perhaps it's time the #Fedi manned up, put on it's big boy pants, & talked more often about how to also be a force for good in society?
Not just a pleasant cul-de-sac bubble to hide out in & only talk to people who agree.
Tomorrow, 2023-12-20, at 1930 UTC, Edsko and I will do the final #Haskell Unfolder episode of the year 2023. This time, we're going to take a bit more time and talk about "circular programs", i.e., programs that depend on their own result.
