  5. theguardian.com/commentisfree/. I can believe this only too easily, @andrewstroehlein, @humanrightswatch, @Nonilex, @DoomsdaysCW. It ought to be nothing more than the deranged fantasy of some far right-wing extremist, rather than the real prospect of an actual #SCOTUS majority #decision. It is wrong, wrong, wrong. There is nothing in the least bit right about it. It is a grievous example of #disability #discrimination, & an attack on all #disabled people, but only too typical of this #fascist SCOTUS!

  6. FOR YEARS, SCotUS would force black & brown people to vote in unfair systems because it was too close to an election.
    NOW, SCotUS sees their fav fascists about to lose this election, and they not only HALT AN ELECTION IN PROGRESS but they tell LA, others, go ahead, we won't stop you, hurry (to stop the whites from losing)!
    And he has the gall to claim they're not policital?

  12. Was watching Democracy Docket, w smart guests. Two things:
    1) The #Callais decision is for minority representation what the #DredScott decision was for citizenship & due process (so #Congress passed the 14th, 15th #Amendments). The fix here is a slog.
    2) Marc Elias predicts GOP attacking white districts if represented by a minority. They'll claim that SCOTUS has backed them up, which is true.

  13. “Never put yourself in a position in which you regret what you didn’t do. - Futurist Jim Carroll

    Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series, The Art of the Infinite Pivot, based on 36 lessons from his 36 years as a solo entrepreneur, working as a nomadic worker in the global freelance economy. The series is unfolding here, and at pivot.jimcarroll.com.
    --

    Forty-one years ago today, I stepped onto a plane in Halifax, Nova Scotia, heading toward a national office in Toronto, Ontario, and a future that didn't yet have a name.

    I was a Chartered Accountant by trade, but my heart was already in the "pipes"—the emerging, messy world of computer connectivity. For three years, I had already immersed myself deep into the opportunities that came from the online world, understanding the power of global collaboration, online research, knowledge acceleration, and disruptive ideas. In my heart and in my mind, I just knew that something big was on the way, and I wanted to be a part of it.

    41 years on, I know I did the right thing.

    Many times in your life, you will need to confront similar big decisions. Should you make the big, bold leap? Should you take the daring jump into the unknown? Can you really hold your breath, close your eyes, take the plunge into tomorrow, and hope for the best?

    If you don't, you might end up regretting not doing the most important thing you should have done.

    Never put yourself in that situation.

    The greatest risk you will ever take is the risk of staying where you are when you know you were meant for what’s next.

    Don't ask what happens if you fail.

    Ask what happens if you never try at all.

  18. I’m really tempted at the moment not only to set up a “development blog” based on PureBlog (pureblog.org/) for my development project with Kirby (quasselkopf.de/@kranzkrone/116), but also to replace my existing blog with it, so that I have a place to write down and publish my thoughts again, at least until the aforementioned Kirby project is finished. 🙄😅😉

    PureBlog and GetKirby are both flat-file style CMS's, so they operate on the same level in terms of functionality, but differ greatly in terms of administration and scope. 😃

    As I’ve been using Mastodon as a temporary substitute for blogging for a while now, PureBlog could be a useful addition to that. 🤔

    Perhaps I should use the public holiday on 1 May to make a decision on this matter. 😁

In my heart and in my mind, I just knew that something big was on the way, and I wanted to be a part of it.

    The move came about because I had been identified by the national office as someone who could implement the opportunities of that 'something big on a nationwide basis. They offered me a position to chase my ideas, albeit in a bigger, well-funded way - and I accepted.

    That moment in time was the final, terrifying step in my ultimate pivot. I wasn't just changing roles; I was abandoning "certainty" for a wild risk on what would eventually become the Internet. And yet, I've never looked back with regret at the decision I made to move forward. I often wonder what my world would be like today if I had let that regret define my future.

    41 years on, I know I did the right thing.

    Forty-one years later, my accounting title is an artifact, but the decision to chase a future without a name remains the smartest move I ever made.

    Don't ask what happens if you fail.

    Ask what happens if you never try at all.

    That moment in time was the final, terrifying step in my ultimate pivot. I wasn't just changing roles; I was abandoning "certainty" for a wild risk on what would eventually become the Internet. And yet, I've never looked back with regret at the decision I made to move forward. I often wonder what my world would be like today if I had let that regret define my future.

    41 years on, I know I did the right thing.

    Many times in your life, you will need to confront similar big decisions. Should you make the big, bold leap? Should you take the daring jump into the unknown? Can you really hold your breath, close your eyes, take the plunge into tomorrow, and hope for the best?

    If you don't, you might end up regretting not doing the most important thing you should have done.

    Never put yourself in that situation.

    The greatest risk you will ever take is the risk of staying where you are when you know you were meant for what’s next.

    Forty-one years later, my accounting title is an artifact, but the decision to chase a future without a name remains the smartest move I ever made.

    Don't ask what happens if you fail.

    Ask what happens if you never try at all.

  26. #purge #decision After feeling a very big pressure to #unplugbigtech asap, I decided to aim a relaxed switch with no time pressure. 2-4 years maybe? 🙃 Got recently a cheap #Bitwig crossgrade. It's now on my #Linux Laptop and on my #MacBook Pro. If there is no deadline work / a certain goal which requires my #Ableton Live & Apple #MainStage routines, I'll just play around with the alternatives until I have new artwork and new routines. I am looking forward. 🤩
