no, i'm worried about the trillions of dollars of new infrastructure we're building in service of the damnable thing, much of it carbon-emitting. i'm worried about the very clear statement of priorities this represents on the part of western economies.
real talk, how many of y’all are genuinely concerned about super intelligent AI ushering in the end of days?
👋 I'm looking for work! 15+ years of frontend dev, design engineering, and leadership. TypeScript, Astro, React, Next, Node, you name it. I'm based in Berlin and I've helped tons of startups with their products (and other problems). I've worked remotely with US companies for 4+ years.

This Labour government revoked our human rights with no democratic process, and no vote in Parliament. Labour is a danger to human rights and democracy.
Despite more than 1 in 4 MPs signing my motion against the Code, it is due to come into force without any debate or vote in Parliament. I have written to the Minister for Women and Equalities urging her to withdraw it now. 2/2
A thread, because things are feeling rough at present. 🧵👇 I'm not quite sure where to go or what to do. I'm watching my peers slowly burn out, go quiet, quit the industry, or struggle on hoping it'll get better in time. Even if the storm is weathered, what comes out the other side?
🚨 WE NEED YOU 🚨 As a new Prime Minister comes into power, we want to show that an overwhelming number of people support trans people, and want the government to take serious action to protect their rights. Will you say you stand with trans people? And share with everyone you know?

I've just hit publish on the photos and videos for the last conference in May. It's wonderful to reflect now a few months have passed on what an amazing day it was. I'll look back at the years we ran All Day Hey! with incredibly fond memories.

Chop Suey on Chambers Street: the thread about Edinburgh’s first Chinese restaurant 中式餐廳
Edinburgh is spoiled for restaurants serving global cuisine. Go back 100 years however and your options were far more limited and localised. That all changed with the arrival of the "Chinese Restaurant" in 1930. It is long gone and accounts of it are contradictory and vague. This thread provides a factual account of this lesser-known institution of the city's diaspora.

Imagine losing a court case that directly affects you, despite the fact that you’ve done nothing wrong, you have no standing, and no right to appeal. This is the reality for trans people in the UK.
1/🧵 The SNP government has decided not to appeal Lady Ross’s decree from the bench to torture trans prisoners and has no plan to change the prison Rules. They are preparing for the physical transfer of trans women in prison to male estates.

when i said 'let’s circle back to that' i more meant, like, in a different era, a different city, another life. let's circle back to it when we're old, or maybe when we're young again...we'll circle back in vienna, or in cairo, or in those slender black cat streets of paris, streetlamps and gossip

This is an excellent write-up of the legal and political consequences of the EHRC guidance. It really is absurd that the guidances suggests that including trans women in single sex services is unsafe for women, but as soon as those spaces are defined as mixed services, everything is fine.

Responsive images syntax was always a compromise forced by constraints. Lazy-loading removes the one of those constraints. Now we have an opportunity to simplify responsive images. Let's make it happen! cloudfour.com/thinks/endin...

Mat Marquis isn't known for pulling his punches. And yet, Marquis stopped short when he declared The End of Responsive Images. Mat left responsive images on the ropes. I hope to finish them.
