Aaron Swartz, coding prodigy and hacktivist who helped develop RSS and was a co-founder of Reddit, died by suicide after facing $1 million in fines and 35 years in prison for felony charges, just for downloading pdfs of research papers with the intention of making them accessible to the public.

It appears that the National Guard shot and killed an unarmed man (in the back). www.bbc.com/news/article...

The report conflicts with the authorities’ initial account, which said Tyrin Johnson had been shot in the chest.

Non-ADHD folks are often surprised at just how focused and competent ADHDers can be in crisis situations. From personal experience, I can say that it's because the crisis gives you permission to forget *everything* except for the problem in front of you. And that's freeing.

Disabled people endured & fought against Centuries of paternalistic & outright draconian treatment, eventually making Section 504 a livable, workable reality. Rolling it back will hurt & kill people, & that is not hyperbole. This country's increased anti-disability push is eugenicist to its core.

The US Congress has proposed both a strong Democratic version of this law (the PRO Act) and a weak bipartisan version (Faster Labor Contracts Act) and neither has passed because Republicans hate worker power and all claims to the contrary are frauds.

It's very easy to wear a suit and tie in any major city, even if the aesthetic has mostly disappeared from daily life, because there are people outside wearing pink tutus with Army boots. As usual, your liberation is connected to other people's liberation.
Bobby Mars on Twitter writes: "If you wear a collared shirt and nice shoes out to the bar in the rust belt, multiple people will ask you if you just came from a wedding. Aesthetic standards for men’s attire are horrendously low"

Nice to have a citation for the stuff we all sort of assume to be true but question if it's just our own biases making it look that way
Screenshot from the article in the quoted post, saying "Piff and his colleagues found that upper-class drivers were more likely to cut other cars off at junctions and ignore pedestrians at crossings. Wealthier people also appeared more willing to lie at work. In one experiment, volunteers were left alone with a jar of sweets ostensibly meant for children. When the researchers returned, upper-class people had snaffled nearly twice as many candies as lower-class people.

“The general pattern seems to be that with wealth and rising power, you become less engaged with the needs of others and less burdened by the needs of social relationships,” Piff said. “Taking candy from children might be the least of our worries but it’s emblematic of the tendency to prioritise one’s own needs over those of others.”

They keep saying that wealth taxation is about “punishing success.” But the reality is it’s about punishing failure. Over the past decade tech elites enshittified the internet and pledged to kill your job. They don’t think they’re part of society. They brought this on themselves.
