Maybe not voting for them on account of that is a bit much, but I'm a Canadian in the UK, I've spent the Christmas holidays visiting family in the UK, and the juxtaposition of complaining about the cold and leaving doors open all the time nearly sent me over the edge!

This is the UK - where you can sue for harassment because other people exist in the same space as you but the people being excluded aren't, apparently, being harassed.

Anti-DEI is an attack on civil rights by segregationists. Most white "allies" are completely silent while segregationists attack Black people and our civil rights.

These silent "allies" without a shred of shame or self-awareness, fully expect Black voters to make sacrifices to save them at midterms

One of the things I didn't expect when I went to grad school to do math is that I would need to spend so much time paying attention to global geopolitics.

Threats are from people, so your threat modeling absolutely must include what's happening to them. You can't do security without it.

I never know what to say on Trans Day of Remembrance. I have lost too many friends already. Many of them were better at this than I am, but I’m the one who’s here to remember them and carry on in memory of them.

Land value tax would also probably help push out those tax avoiding people who buy land and do nothing with it, by having an incentive to do something with it in order to cover that tax...

It'd be great if assets (which take resources to produce as well!) like tractors could be used as efficiently as possible, which involves a minimum size of farm? But it doesn't have to be an agricorp either, I love me a local community co-op!

The news just described Boris Johnson, as he goes into the covid inquiry, "a historian". Shout out to my bf who withstood my subsequent yelling rant.

IMPORTANT NEW PAPER just published on gatekeeping in gender-affirming care. Colleagues and I just published a paper that reviews the literature on gender assessments in gender-affirming care. We conclude they don’t work!

It is interesting that so many of the commentators and outlets that were so concerned over the last half decade about β€˜cancel culture’ and the free speech β€˜crisis’ have been quiet lately over the clamp down on pro-Palestinian speech and activism in many countries.
