Decades have passed since the 1960s, yet the use of Indigenous American and First Nations names and images by sports teams continues to stir public debate. Mainstream media often simplifies the issue, framing it solely as a matter of offense to Indigenous individuals.
However, this oversimplification disregards the tangible harm caused and dismisses the impact on non-Natives. Today, we delve into the true complexities surrounding Indigenous peoples as sports mascots in #TheBigPicture: https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/strong-case-against-indigenous-mascots

Calling bigotry an "opinion" is like calling arsenic a "flavor".

Workers: You could pay more.
Business: Nope.
Workers: Better benefits?
Business: No.
Workers: More flexible hours?
Business: No way.
Workers: Treat your current employees better to build your employer brand?
Business: Never.
Workers: Well, what's left?!
Business: Child labor!

So... I feel like a total dick for saying this, but 5 out of 7 of my last mentorship sessions have no-showed or cancelled within 10 minutes of their appointments in the past week. Only one person out of those has provided any reasonable reason. I'm really sorry - if this keeps up much longer I am not going to be able to continue the service.
If you aren't respectful of my time, please, please be respectful of the time of others who help you along your career journey. I miss every single Sunday afternoon I could spend with my family for nothing but occasional tips. Some folks wait months for these appointments.

Just have to say - I'm very excited for everyone to see tomorrow's video
The release date is May 23rd and it will be sold as a subscription: $49/year USD. 😥
Ok Apple, you’ve announced that Logic Pro is available for iPad. But where is it in the store? Is this USA only? Don’t tease!

In order to protect the constitutional rights of individuals from being infringed upon by state laws, I believe there is a need for a national, non-partisan, and independent body that operates outside of both the judiciary and legislature. This body would be responsible for reviewing and pre-clearing all proposed bills, both at the state and federal level, to ensure they meet constitutional requirements, federal law, and our treaty obligations before they can be considered by the legislature.

President Biden should invite Rep. Zooey Zephyr, the trans legislator silenced in Montana for speaking truth to power, to the White House. Just like he did the #TennesseeThree
@ronald @chhopsky And only then does the audio output hop from the USB A of the piano over to the headphone out. Can’t believe iPad OS doesn’t have an audio output audio selected when a USB audio device is connected, but the hack is just to force it to hop over with a sequentially last headphone cable insertion. *shrug*
Might make this my last iPad and stick to laptops in the future. The “pro” of it isn’t pro enough.
@ronald @chhopsky Just got a Satechi USB-C hub for my iPad Pro, which has USB A, C and headphone ports, and this was the device I needed to capture MIDI from my piano AND when using an iOS soft synth app, play back sounds out the headphone jack.
However, the iPad won’t let me select the heaphone jack as audio out, so my piano which can work as audio device and MIDI device steals both when connected. The trick is to not plug in the headphone until AFTER.

Lightfall’s campaign was weak for what it didn’t explain of events and lore, and #Destiny 2 can be tough to onboard for new people, but I wouldn’t throw away the whole game. It’s still the magic endless fun it’s always been. This “Destiny 3” noise doesn’t make sense to me:
