Antivaxxers kill people. They kill their own kids, AND they kill people who can’t be vaccinated.

Their children should be taken away and they should go to jail.

washingtonpost.com/national/healt…
If you’re an antivaxxer, go ahead & block me - I don’t want anything I say to be useful to you. Thanks in advance!
Refusing to vaccinate your kids is not a “philosophical choice.” It’s child abuse, and if your kid catches e.g. measles, you should be prosecuted for child abuse AND manslaughter. Because:
When your “philosophical choice” kills & maims other people, it’s no longer yours to make.

For the most part, I really value the conversations I have around my threads. Getting feedback is an integral part of the writing process for me.

People make interesting recommendations, tell me about other directions they’ve seen that thought process go in, etc. Mostly A++++!
But there’s a particular variety of entitlement that sometimes crops up that I find reeeeally grating.

I’m not talking about the braindead replies from the troll packs - those are easily giffed & muted, and I could do that all day😅
The ones that really annoy me are the men who are clearly used to women being VERY INTERESTED in how they feel. Like I had one yesterday who said my thread “had a promising start but then disappointed me.”

My dude....I do not give a single fuck about your disappointment level

I talk a lot about how you can’t be a great developer without great communication skills, but I don’t think people grok how _directly_ your communication skills are reflected in your codebase. Let me give you an example.
Let’s say you’re working in a legacy codebase that, in places, resembles a house on Hoarders (BEFORE they clean it out).
These types of codebases are distressingly common. They’re so full of STUFF that you can hardly move around. To get your work done, you’ve got little goat trails of understanding running through it, like the narrow space between piles of junk in an overcrowded living room.

Software patterns and their contexts, a thread:
When we talk about software patterns, we spend most of our time discussing the _technical_ contexts they make sense in.

Building an API? Use the gateway pattern! Extracting functionality from a monolith? Use the strangler pattern! Etc etc etc.
In addition to its technical contexts, though, every pattern also has a set of _organizational_ contexts that it makes sense in - and these are usually implicit in our discussions.

There's been a lot of talk about the UK organization Mermaids. But the US equivalent is Gender Spectrum, which if anything has even more influence on policy in the US (including conferences, school policy, and more). Zero coverage of this org outside our website (so far).
In this children's book "Stacey's not a girl," the narrator (a "natal" girl) talks about hating dresses and ... barrettes! This is just a variation on the Barbie/GI Joe theme pushed by Mermaids.
genderspectrum.org/blog/gender-sp…
Most of our followers are familiar with the "barrettes" lecture by Diane Ehrensaft, a member of the Gender Spectrum board of directors.

1/ President Trump's new pick for Interior secretary is longtime lobbyist David Bernhardt.

New emails we obtained through FOIA show Bernhardt played a big role in gutting protections for migratory birds.

revealnews.org/article/trumps…
2/ Bernhardt joined Interior as the No. 2 when Trump took office after a long career as a lobbyist for oil, gas and water concerns.

Earlier this month, Trump nominated him for the top Interior spot.

3/ For more than 50 years, administrations prosecuted companies for inadvertently killing birds.

Millions of birds die excruciating deaths in oil wastewater pits or through collisions with windmills and communications towers, or electrocutions by power lines.

People have been asking me why I've been so fixated on Leonard Leo lately

I'm concerned about the damage he has down to our courts

ONE-THIRD of current SCOTUS judges were HANDPICKED by 1 man

[THREAD]
Don't look to the MSM on this one: Mr Leo has flown pretty under the radar, considering what a central role he's played in GOP corruption.

Time for a proper roundup to see it all in one place.
Yesterday WaPo threw another log on the Scott Pruitt scandal dumpster fire:
Pruitt enlisted a top aide at EPA to find his wife a job through GOP donors.
