Apple Music says I'm in the top 500 listeners for Liz Carroll and top 1,000 for Solas. But my son keeps requesting Metallica in the car. #IrishTrad #Music

Do you remember the last album/CD/cassette you brought home and listened to while reading along with the lyrics in the liner notes before the age of digital downloads? For me it was U2’s _How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb_ (2004) #music

The cover art of the aforementioned album, picturing, from left to right, The Edge, Adam, Bono, and Larry sitting on a bench with their backs against the wall.

Fortunately we’ll be driving on Saturday so there won’t be activity, but the road’s torn up. But trick’s on them, we got a Trade Wind. #LiveRiveted

I knew something was fishy open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo also called out that at a press conference in the Netherlands last Wednesday, Trump said he had given Iran permission to bomb a U.S. air base in Qatar in retaliation for the U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear weapons program sites. "They said, 'We're going to shoot them. Is one o'clock
OK?' I said it's fine," Trump said. "And everybody was emptied off the base so they couldn't get hurt, except for the gunners."

We just had a power outage in Paradise. It’s back on now, but there’s some residual heat, so my dog’s not under the covers.

I want to give a special shout out to digital artist @trixie00.bsky.social. I commissioned her to make a logo based on my family’s ancestral medieval coat-of-arms. She understood the assignment and put her heart and soul into the piece adding much-needed depth and creativity. #GraphicDesign hire her

Trump is a nazi and that's not an exaggeration.

A list of news articles including 3 that are underlined in which Trump is reported to have said that Jews were treated "with love" by the Nazis.

Hiked at Bear Hole 🐻 🕳️ in #ChicoCA today with my daughter. It was a lot of fun.

Yeah. Here’s the original. I need to change to blue and remove the fleur-de-lis ⚜️ and replace it with what’s in my blue sketch in the op. I’d also like a black letter calligraphy font.

Looking to commission someone with Illustrator or Inkscape to make a vector graphics logo based on my sketch. It’s inspired by the Lord family coat of arms.

A blue and silver shield with two blue cinquefoils (5-petalled flowers) and a silver pheon (a barbed arrowhead). The name “Devlord” is written below in a calligraphic font.

Our first cherry blossoms of the year

A couple lone white blossoms on a skinny gray trunk. A gray fence is behind it and there are gray clouds in the sky.

Not a democracy. apple.news/Aa6iBqcLsSQy...

It's a global concern. This week, an annual report on the global state of democracy, the Varieties of Democracy project (V-Dem), told reporters. "the United States will not score as a democracy when we release Inext year's) data." V-Dem's principal investigator, Staffan Lindberg, added: "If it continues like this, democracy lin the US will not last another six months." With an expected downgrade to the status of electoral autocracy, the US will share its label with Turkey, Hungary, Iraq, India, and Russia.

I need someone to explain to me why it's always "if you can't pay rent, buy fewer lattes and avocado toasts" and not "if you can't pay your employees a living wage, buy fewer yachts, rockets and presidents".
Explain it to me like I'm in kindergarten.

I just posted this on Insta.

I have migrated to Pixelfed

Due to the fact that Meta’s leadership has allied itself with Trump and Musk, rejected fact-checking, and given up on moderation, I have logged off all Meta platforms, so you may not see me for a while. You can text me, or email me, or find my blog at https://blog.devlord.io, or follow me on Bluesky @devlord.io, or on Mastodon at @devlord@hachyderm.io, or the fediverse equivalent of Pixelfed, devlord@pixelfed.social.

I got brave and posted the following on LinkedIn #DEI #DEIA #SupportDEI

One of my mutuals posted this on Mastodon:

"I appreciate all the earnest folks who are explaining why their institution's DEIA program was good, what impact it had, and why the govt eliminating it is awful. Really. I do.

"But you're communicating the wrong thing. Because that's not the fight you're in.

"The fight you're in is about segregation. The government is forcing you to choose segregation—the obstruction of non white people (and white women) from entering or advancing in your industry.

"You need to start clarifying THAT.

"Be. Clear.

"Help the media and public call a Thing a THING.

"Hold your industry accountable by CALLING THE THING THE THING."

On Friday I skipped work and allowed my autistic daughter to skip school so we could attend the Neurodiversity & Disability Symposium at California State University, Chico. One of the key topics was accessibility (the new A in DEIA), a poignant subject because we've spent the last two months working on color contrast, keyboard navigation, and screen reader upgrades for the educational platform I work on.

The removal of DEIA affects people of all colors, genders, and abilities. Another open-web social media post I saw the other day said that DEIA doesn't exist to prevent a qualified white person from getting a job due to an unqualified "diversity" candidate. *It exists to ensure that a qualified disabled person or person of color can get hired instead of an unqualified white man being hired simply because he is a white man.*

So I plead with you: *Do not obey in advance.* Make them take you to court before you discontinue your DEIA policies. Make sure your employees know that you are taking this stand, not just for the sake of the known benefits in productivity that having diverse viewpoints brings to the bottom line (as emphasized in the annual HR videos), but because the cause is a righteous one.

I am a survivor of the #CampFire2018 which destroyed our home in Paradise, CA. We lost everything. I would not wish that fate on anybody, and my heart goes out to those in L.A. who are experiencing such destruction in their lives.
