If I wanted to get there I wouldn't start from here.

I suspect it's from a movie about the attack. Probably Operación Ogro.

Of course you can, but why would you?

I'm not complaining, I love my kids and I really don't think that being with them is the worst part of the week. I'm just very, very tired.

Cries in parenting

I don't think there is a prescribed way to advertise being part of the fediverse.

Hopefully there will be a fediverse icon (the colorful pentagram) somewhere on the page.

I was listening to the Doubleclicks' Lasers and Feelings and had a realization that it could be the counterpart to The Future Soon.

Then I went back to listen to it and had a second epiphany about the narrator of the latter being Musk :)

I had an epiphany today: Jonathan Coulton's the future soon is a song about Elon #Musk.

But the truly galaxy brain move is in this article:

After CNN’s reporting, Musk reversed course, tweeting “the hell with it … we’ll just keep funding Ukraine govt for free.”

Gwynne Shotwell, Musk’s president at SpaceX, was livid at Musk’s reversal, according to Isaacson.

“The Pentagon had a $145 million check ready to hand to me, literally,” Isaacson quotes Shotwell as saying. “Then Elon succumbed to the bullshit on Twitter and to the haters at the Pentagon who leaked the story.”

I'm sorry, maybe it's my white male cis privilege speaking, but I don't see how minority-run service can ever be a realistic solution. Well, it could be if you live in London, New York, San Francisco, or a few other global cities large enough that the minority population can provide the services you need. But that could never be a solution for smaller places where there may be at best a few, for instance, LGBTQ taxi drivers (if any).

What you want is a service that will take steps to prevent any mistreatment (e.g. in car cameras) and that has a strong reputation for taking complaints seriously.

And while this may not apply directly to women (definitely not a minority) I still feel that requiring prevention and accountability is a much better solution than segregation.

It looks like the kind of thing where a protocol is not enough, an actual legal entity is needed.

Something like blablacar, bur run as a cooperative would be a great idea.
