Facts, though. http://www.threepanelsoul.com/comics/1564982827-651.png

I just signed a petition to ban routine infant genital cutting in the United States. I will always sign this petition, every time I see it, no matter how many times the government chooses to ignore it. You should too, if you want to live in a civilized society.

I hate #poitics, I find #anarchism unpaletable and often unproductive, and I even have difficulty fully identifying with #libertarianism. I don't believe one's views can be easily expressed with a single label. However, I'm often asked my position, and I've come up with a way to summarize it:

"The ideal government is one which facilitates voluntary collaboration. If such a state can not be made, it is our responsibility to resist all states."

Isn't it interesting that "man," by itself, can mean "manservant," in the same way that "maid" by itself can also mean "maidservant?" I am a man, but if I am somebody else's man that makes me also their servant. What a difference a language makes.

Is it not also remarkable that it is acceptable to refer to a husband as "my man" or "her man," but it is not acceptable to refer to a wife as "my woman" or "his woman?"

This dumb bitch opens an Issue suggesting in the most irritating possible way that they give it a Code of Conduct: https://github.com/chrislgarry/Apollo-11/issues/411

Everyone's like "um, this code is literally fifty years old. What the hell?"

Apparently she just spams the Contributor Covenant to any GitHub project she sees and complains on Twitter whenever anyone says no XD

Of Google's growing #monopoly on #Internet services expressed through their dominance of the web browser market, and the importance of #opensource software. http://blairreeves.me/2019/08/20/the-browser-monopoly/

This isn't 100% accurate; private browsing modes and tabbed browsing predate Google Chrome by a lot, but the author still nails a lot of Google's sneaky business tactics and dismissive approach to online privacy.

I wrote a brief blog post about the history of the English language, one of the longest words in it, and the controversy surrounding #Shakespeare and the authorship of his plays.
