This came in my feed, and I can't disagree. I have worked with #StackOverflow developers in the past, and I think the result will be the same, or even worse.

The Trump administration is planning to furlough the vast majority of the civilian staff at a key agency that helps manage the nation’s nuclear weapons stockpile.
The National Nuclear Security Administration, which falls under the Energy Department,
will exhaust its available funding on Saturday,
according to the notice NNSA sent to lawmakers.
As a result, approximately 1,400 employees will be furloughed,
the notice states, while about 375 will remain on the job…

Today's archival tidbit (from the 1970s) is a perfect politician's turn of phrase: they're developing "procedures that are sufficiently adequate" to ensure "satisfactory results."

"The case that turned the justices into art critics"
Andy Warhol would Warhol-ize Goldsmith’s photo and produce an image of Prince as a music icon. Decades later, these two contrasting portraits of Prince would wind up at the Supreme Court, with Goldsmith claiming copyright infringement and Warhol’s foundation claiming “fair use.”

And you don't need to accept the trap of authoritarian masculinity on logic alone, the proof is right there in male influencers like Andrew Tate and their followers. These dipshits get so obsessed with gatekeeping they don't realize that the gates they're tending keep them in, that the more walls they put up to protect their privilege, the smaller their identity can be. They huddle in tiny pens, terrified of crossing imaginary bounds that they imposed *on themselves.*
They have built their own torture chambers and locked themselves inside, and for what? They turn themselves into dragons, hoarding what they see as valuable while repressing every emotion including joy. And if they let themselves experience joy, they would, perhaps, realize that all these privileges are inconsistent with it. They might, perhaps, recognize that they have built up these privileges so they don't have to admit that their suffering and fear are not, in fact, admirable. They might have to face the fact that they have lived lives that are deeply pathetic, might have to face the fact that only empathy can give one access to deep satisfaction, might have to face the fact that they have lived their whole lives on a treadmill, going nowhere.
But I assume that they won't ever do that, because to do so would force them to face the enormity of the emotional debt, the pain and suffering they have inflicted on the world, and those are big feelings. It's far easier to hide in a hole, forever alone, making up silly rules to keep everyone inside scared and keep everyone outside from seeing in.

Day 24: Yvonne Adhiambra Owuor
Owuor wrote "Dust", a novel that follows a scattered family's struggles with intergenerational trauma through a vivid tapestry of Kenyan history. Not only is it full of carefully rendered complex characters who both deal with their own issues and who are entangled in larger threads, but it also depicts a series of deeply personal reactions to and interactions with historical moments that give a gestalt sense of the painful history of Kenya both during and after the colonial era.
It's a gripping read despite not having a traditional suspense structure, where in the last third of the book every chapter seems to be tying up one more loose thread you had almost forgotten about, only to leave a little more still to discover, right up to the end. Owuor's skill at constructing such a detailed and complex plot and especially in navigating it to a satisfying conclusion is impressive, and her depictions of human foibles and struggles in the face of grief and not-wanting-to-know are relatable.
CW for domestic abuse, state murder, genocide, torture, etc.
