Turns out I think of 'the cloud' as space. VPCs are planets. What song do you always sing wrong? he (nom.) / him (acc., dat.) / his (gen., poss.)

My fool godson, William, went down to the basement to get a snack four days ago I told him--every time I tell him--to COUNT the stairs as he goes down. There's only 12. If it goes to 13, come back up and try again. And don't follow the thing singing down there But does he listen?

It’s hard to accept that the U.S. is heading towards democratic collapse. So, I photoshopped some potential headlines to show #WhatsToCome if we don’t act now…

Some people who succeed wildly in school don’t achieve their apparent potential in the business world. Some others who do okay (or worse) in school manage to build an extremely successful life. Why is that? What we learn in school & must unlearn in business & in life: (1/10)

The abortion law in Canada in the 1969 and more recently in Ireland were both changed because of empathy. In Canada, the coroner of Ontario was so damn sick of seeing dead women he held an inquest for every abortion death. Wanted the public to see the carnage. 1/

Somewhere in America, a public school teacher will start praying audibly in class every day at a selected hour. The prayer will be a pagan prayer to Odin and Thor. Evangelical Christian students will join in, feeling compelled. Their parents will howl. But THEY MADE IT HAPPEN.

Pro-lifers don't like complexity. At 17 weeks my placenta detached and he was much too small. I thought I felt my baby's frantic attempts to breathe. My OBGYN advised me to terminate the pregnancy, there wasn't much time. But I couldn't.

I really wish people would stop drastically using the scenarios of rape or incest as the sole premise for an abortion. A woman doesn’t have to be in a traumatic situation for it to be reason enough. In fact there is zero explanation that needs to be given.

I was just asked to be on The National to discuss Roe and abortion...and then I found out it would be a panel with a "pro-life/anti-abortion" voice. I am livid and sent this reply. I couldn't care less if this means I will not be asked back to the CBC. It needed to be said.

Let’s be 100% clear. If Republicans win control of the House, Senate and White House two years from now, they will pass a national abortion ban. And no matter where you live, no matter how pro-choice your state is, women and doctors will be locked up for practicing health care.

Know your rights and make sure those around you do as well. ✊
Text in white reads: KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS: You don't need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don’t need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you’re not obstructing traffic or access to buildings. If you don’t have a permit, police officers can order you to move to the side of the street or sidewalk to let others pass or for safety reasons. When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police. If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries. If you get stopped by the police, ask if you're free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away. If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer.

You ever stop to think about how when liberal laws are passed there is rejoicing by people it actually affects, and when conservative laws are passed there is rejoicing by people it does not affect

One thing I got *right* in this story is that my report was through the proper channels, and it was "I'm seeing something unexpected" and not "you jackasses screwed up the security." Every bug report should be framed that way--because sometimes *YOU WILL BE WRONG*.

I have a standing policy of not talking about private meetings, just because I have way too many NDAs to keep track of, but I'm making an exception here just because of how @bjohnso5y handled it. She went out of her way to *thank me* for what I viewed as wasting her time.

I was sitting in a hotel bar in Bellevue in 2018 by myself, fretting about the new job I was starting the next day, when two guys down the bar started talking about how much they loved guns. One was a German immigrant, and gun culture was one of his favorite things about America. – at Alameda, CA
