The Debian Publicity Team will no longer post on X/Twitter. We took this decision since we feel X doesn't reflect Debian shared values as stated in our social contract, code of conduct and diversity statement. X evolved into a place where people we care about don't feel safe.

When I took over the compiler team at Apple, I found our one H-1B visa engineer was making less than half what the next lowest-paid team member made. Dude had an MSCS in a VERY technical subfield and we were paying him like a janitor. THIS is why billionaires love H-1B hires.

In the Russia-Ukraine war, the vast majority of people sympathize with Ukraine. Only a tiny minority sympathize with Russia. Pro-Russia posting here represents almost nobody in the real world.

11. The rightwing media apparatus, which is global in scale, prevented these voters from knowing what Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had done for the economy, inflation, wages and the GDP, but especially for the *material* interests of the white working class.

We gotta shut down these academics and their wasteful crazy science projects

Trump and Scholz both called Putin. Then Putin escalated with the largest missile attack of the entire war.

...a small thing from long ago, but we were looking at the beginning of what was to become the housing crisis. On the radio on Thursday, a landlords' representative was saying "but at lower rents we can't repay the mortgage". I was shouting at the radio: you're not supposed...

I feel like we haven't talked about the full insanity of needing a blue check to apply to Elon Musk's department. His very first act of being in government is breaking the law by requiring a personal bribe to him as an application fee for a civil service position

Very excited about tomorrow evening - it's the opening of my first ever exhibition!

Moments after Putin launched the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Trump's nominee for DNI rushed to Twitter to blame the United States and NATO, not Putin, for the war. A Russian asset

Never forget: Kevin McCarthy said, “I'll give you the truth why I'm not speaker. It's because one person, a member of Congress, wanted me to stop an ethics complaint because he slept with a 17-year-old.” That member is Matt Gaetz.

Trump’s pick for Attorney General, Matt Gaetz, has been unable to practice law in Florida three times over the past five years due to failure to pay dues and failure to affirm compliance with trust account rules.

The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.

@RpsAgainstTrump Donald Trump Jr. has never earned a living and lives off the lavish allowances from his father. The scariest thought he can conceive is losing his allowance, thus that is his ultimate insult, to tell Zelenskyy that now he will lose his allowance 🤡🤡🤡

Massive uptick in the number of bots following me (the kind following 5000 , 13 followers, no posts, cleavage picture). Anyone else noticed too?
