ICYMI, no I am not part of a grandiose open source conspiracy which someone apparently hallucinated in a k-hole
I've now blogged about what it was like to lose yet another day of my life to the stochastic harassment of a project I left five years ago.

Does the weather seem off? Our skies are not the same, our weather is not the same, our world is not the same, climate chaos and catastrophe are now the norm. Must view, THE DIMMING, the most comprehensive climate engineering documentary. Follow us for more: @RealGeoEngWatch

Some personal news, which I announce from the top of a very high hill, where I am looking down on everyone who tried to keep me from reaching here and failed. 🙂

Yes, that was me. This was so long ago I'm laughing at it. But I'm bemused to see the rest of the world just learning what some of us have been dealing with for over six years.

/ flight attendant and shouted "this man caused me to spill my drink all over me!", when nobody had either touched him or done a damn thing to him, and the simple fact was he was soaked in his own mess of his own making. There are people like that everywhere.

When people fear medical bills more than medical problems, they make absurd trade-offs. Like swapping the ambulance ride for their buddy’s hatchback. Take care of your health tax free by opening an HSA at HSA Bank. Have a Bronze healthcare plan? You’re now HSA eligible.

On a 90 minute flight this week, a guy across from me opened up a full bottle of wine and got right to it. The pax in front of him got up, then sat back down. The guy (v drunk) then shouted "you made me spill this all over me!" and tried to kick off. He then called the /

The "worst day at work" award goes to X's director of European gov't affairs, who not only performed disastrously in a Parliamentary hearing on the abuse and threats sent to MPs on this site, but then had to be told by MPs that her boss had just quit.

@LewisSilkin By the way @LewisSilkin, if you want to reflect upon taking a wad of cash from an *actual rapist* to provide bespoke reputation management services for him and his enabler-wife, and perhaps apologise to everyone you harassed and threatened on their juicy retainer, maybe do that?

Delighted that sleazy law firms like @LewisSilkin will no longer be able to make bank off actual rapists by using workplace NDAs to threaten the women those men sexually assaulted (with the adoring wife's approval). CC: every woman in Manchester. 🍾 https://t.co/SEhOwGLCwd

Someone messaged me "hopefully he'll leave you alone now that he has a new target", and yay? I wouldn't wish it on anybody.

And rightly so. WP dot org’s legal status and corporate-appointed leadership mean that WP’s participation in OWA effectively renders it an astroturfing front, meaning private corporate lobbying cosplaying as independent advocacy. Believe me, Brussels is *very* twitchy about that.
Talking about the Open Web Alliance, @photomatt says “…we want to support in whichever way we can”. However, the OWA site says @WordPress’ membership is paused: https://t.co/IDO7Tj0uga

What a contrast in language and authority between the authentic leadership shown in this post, which is centred in the community and the task ahead, and the vapid therapy-speak of the two A8C WP executive directors, which has always been centred in their unelected power.
This was my talk tonight. TL;DR WordPress was not built by just one person. WordPress belongs to all of us.

Independent research from Duke University showed that utilizing single-use cystoscopes in outpatient clinic procedures improved efficiency, which in turn led to increased patient volume. In this study, single-use cystoscopes increased patient consults from 12 to 21 per day.

The Empire being stripped of competent people in their ranks (Dedra, Partagaz, Galen Erso, among others) and left only with bootlickers & sycophants in the end. Totalitarianism doesn't even allow initiatives. They just want dimwits who follow orders. That's THE POINT in #Andor

I can't speak for US corporate governance law, but I can tell you that in the UK, one of the people mentioned in this post would be facing a prison sentence. Perhaps her day will come.
