Can we clone this guy? "“While I found this protest appalling, I will not waver in my belief that it should be allowed to happen,” Mamdani continued. “Ours is a free society where the right to peaceful protest is sacred. It does not belong only to those we agree with—it belongs to everyone.”"
Mamdani stands by ‘sacred’ First Amendment amid bigotry and violence

Jenny O’Connell-Nowain was ready to go to jail.
She had been prepared to spend six months in the custody of the Shasta county sheriff’s office.
One of the top prosecutors in this part of far northern California had presented the evidence against her in a weeklong trial,
and a jury had delivered a guilty verdict.
A judge offered probation, but O’Connell-Nowain did not agree to the terms.
Her crime?

Deu trabalho, mas terminei de limpar individualmente cada livro da minha estante dedicada Š matemštica. Agora só preciso fazer isso em mais sete estantes. 🤡
Nessas horas os livros digitais levam a vantagem. Pena que seja muito difícil encontrar versões sem DRM e que livros com DRM nunca sejam verdadeiramente seus.

When asking someone to do something it's important to be clear about everything you are asking them to do, and when you are asking them to do it, up front.
Increasingly I'm asked to do something, I look at my schedule and other commitments and agree to the ask, and then weeks later am informed that "as part of X (what I agreed to) everyone is expected to do Y (something time consuming that wasn't mentioned before)" or "we need you to provide X (something necessary the day of the event) a week in advance (when there was no indication of this early deadline at the initial ask)".
This means that the calculations someone made regarding whether they could participate are based an incomplete understanding of what is required. That's not fair and it either results in forcing the participant to deprioritize something else or makes them push back on something they never agreed to and potentially withdraw.
