Har har har. We were the first nation to end slavery after thousands of years. Everyone else followed our lead on that.

@Miriamm I'm also a slave of capitalism. USA shackles almost everyone on this planet.

Hey just your daily reminder that Jewish people have nothing to do with the Israeli government you dense antisemitic fucks.

@Miriamm The war has already started. Everyone drawing battle lines to harden boundaries expects the antisemitism cranked up to eleven just because. They prioritize their loyalties on toughness, even allies measure up to each other with harsh sentiments. Nobody wants the war at all. Except for assholes.

@Miriamm not entirely true. The Jewish people have elected a right wing racist government. By the same logic, Germans had nothing to do with the Holocaust. This is NOT a comparing statement between Holocaust and Israeli governmentโ€™s actions. Just saying there is accountability between a government and its people, especially in a democracy.

Today marks the 34th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre. During my time living in China, I once asked my colleagues about this event, but they vehemently claimed to have no knowledge of it. This is a photograph of the aftermath, it's illegal in China.

@Miriamm I was surprised to learn from some Chinese engineers that flew down to do some work with me thought that the Dali Lama was a terrorist and killed lots of people, and that they rescued Tibet his evil, oppressive dictatorship. Itโ€™s incredible how much control you can have over people through the media.

@Miriamm I believe that by trying to censor all mentions of the massacre, the CCP might have actually made it easier to find out about what happened that day. That colleague of yours most likely knew what happened, or at least had some idea of it, but wouldnโ€™t say because people get killed for talking about it.

@Miriamm PBS Frontline ran a spectacular documentary about the Tienanmen Uprising back in the mid-90s called Tienanmen: The Gate of Heavenly Peace. Some bootlegged copies are available online, but the producers only make it available for sale or rental.

Watching it, though, was one of those live-changing events for me.

"Did you read the hundreds of pages of fine print, though?"

Comic strip: Four pictures.

First picture: A woman says, "Today, we're going to learn about insurance!"

Second picture: She's talking to someone out of frame and says, "Hey, insurance, I am injured and need some of that money I give you in case I get injured."

Third frame: The woman is sitting at a desk. She has a cigar, a monocle, a top hat, and a chain with a dollar sign on it. She says, "No."

Fourth picture: She smiles and says, "And that's how insurance works!"

North Dakota politicians just raised their meal reimbursement to $45 after rejecting a bill for free school lunches, which costs only $3 per meal. That means, for the price of one politician's lunch, you could feed 15 low-income kids โ€” socialism for me, but not for thee.

@Miriamm a $45 lunch?! What are they getting a trough of food? They really are pigs aren't they?

@Miriamm Thatโ€™s brazen. Too bad so few in ND will even learn about this or make the obvious mental leap to understand the hypocrisy of it.

Two years since the new version of google icons and the struggle is still real

a white poster with the words what happens when designers priorise aestheticss over usability? the first row shows distinct google app icons that are different to each other. the next row of icons are the newer versions which all use the same colours and are simplified so they look the same. The last row says what we see now and it's just box icons with the same colours all the icons are the same.

@Miriamm I only use Chrome, but compared to the sea of white and blue icons almost all my other apps are, it actually is the one app I never miss.

@Miriamm

I know this is more or less a non-starter, but I think anyone with the word "designer" in their job title should be prohibited from using a computer to do their job.

@Miriamm Without labels, each row is equally illegible to me.
