Feeling lousy about the state of the world? You have every right to feel that way. But let me say something else as clearly as I can: I’ve been at this fight a very long time, and right now I find lots of reasons for hope. Ten, to be exact. Hear me out: 1/12

This article / thread is pretty interesting but just for what is said but who is saying it.

"The softest paw can be a claw sometimes"

I met a friend of mine because they DMed me asking about their job. They were quitting soon, but they knew their coworkers couldn’t quit. They were experiencing labor abuse and wage theft. “Before I quit,” they asked, “how can I help my coworkers?”



I was considering a Kia as my new car, but I don't want to deal with stupidity like this. I don't want to repair my car, but if I have to, the manufacturer shouldn't be making it HARDER or disabling features.

Manufacturers like @subaru_usa and @Kia found a truly disgusting way to punish the people of Massachusetts for having the audacity to demand the right to choose their own mechanics: they are disabling advanced features on cars sold in MA: wired.com/story/fight-ri… 24/

There's a phenomenon I actually see extremely commonly when literature is used to teach history to middle school and high school students. Let's call it "pajamafication."


Today I learned that "Boycott" is named after a man from Ireland!

Hi Jorts, just in case you didn’t know the word boycott comes from activism here in Ireland in the 1880s against an exploitative land agent called Charles Boycott en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_B…



This must be a very different definition of "wounded" then I would use. "Killed" seems more accurate, unless the soldier was somehow only 12" wide and the cannonball missed them entirely.

Summer bold goals from freeCodeCamp! If anyone can do it, Quincy can. I continue to be impressed with the evolution of their curriculum and relief resources. It was their program that allowed me to go from a hedge-programmer to a full time full stack developer!

I'm excited to share freeCodeCamp's big goal for the next decade: 📜 To provide computer science bachelor's degrees... 🏛️ from an accredited US university... 🆓 for free. [thread] 🧵 freecodecamp.org/news/free-accr…

Yesterday I crunched the numbers for 2021. Over the past 365 days, people have spent 2.1 billion minutes learning from freeCodeCamp. On a budget of only $754,030, our nonprofit has delivered 4,000 years of learning to people around the world. That's 50 hours per dollar spent. 🧵
