I read #Dune (just the first book) a long time ago yet it left such an impression. I can't put my finger on why I liked it so much, but Frank Herbert had some sort of arcane mastery. So many memetic things from a single source: maud'dib, Bene Gesserit witch, the litany against fear, and the careful, patient, and intentional ecological work of Kynes with the Fremen.
After learning about #emotionalcontagion, from The Happiness Lab, I decided to try to be a little less pessimistic and more jovial version of me at work today. N=1, even if I didn't notice it reflected by people around me I had a better than normal day. I managed to be pleasant when a new issue cropped up an hour after I should have been gone for the day. Come to think of it, maybe staying late should count _against_ the experiment! π

Informing deployed troops of withdraw within hours via tweet was maladministration.
Asking a foreign ruler to announce an investigation into your political opponent by name while with holding aid and never saying the word corruption is abuse of power.
Locking asylum seekers and children up in over crowded unsanitary conditions or knowingly returning them across a boarder into danger (MPP) is a human rights violation.

A young man averted disaster by going to the nearest hospital before his appendix burst.
The total bill for his emergency surgery? $41,212.
After negotiations between the out-of-network hospital and his insurer, he's still facing a bill of $28,000. https://trib.al/6sCnP3n

Maybe I should try playing it Samuel L Jackson reading Go the F To Sleep...

Today, I introduced the Neighbors Not Enemies Act to fully repeal a 1798 law that allows the U.S. president to target groups of foreign nationals.
Trump even cited the law to justify the Muslim Ban.
Itβs past time to take this xenophobic law off the books.
I wish windows would implement multiple clipboard buffers like #Plasma has. I have to enter the same three pieces of information into 70 web forms that don't give me programmatic access, it would really be handy right about now...

LGBTQ+ people are valid and deserve respect, thatβs not something thatβs up for discussion they just are

Trump has been attacking our campaign because he's getting nervous.
Poll after poll shows that we are the strongest campaign to beat him, even in so-called "red" states like Texas.
Together, we'll sweep him and all he stands for out of office.

@immychan i think about your coming out internal conflict posts all the time. I can't even imagine. But when I think about it I'm always hoping that you're finding happiness. So there's at least one random internetizen out here that's rooting for you.

Don't take a job where you support 24hr production without an on-call fee. I can guarantee that poor planning will be smoothed over with off hours requests because your free time is free for the company.
