'I wish it need not have happened in my time,' said Frodo.
 'So do I,' said Gandalf, 'and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.'

@knittingknots2 seems like it's a joke for #adl and for #israel.

As a Jewish person, I find it infuriating that they have the audacity to claim to represent all Jews.

Walked down the street in #London yesterday. Saw a guy wearing a maga hat.
He noticed my expression of disgust and raised a fist in a salute.
I told him "I think you have to extend the palm all the way". He did.

So easy.

@GossiTheDog oh fuck's sake, I tried to find a KKK mailing list for them to read stuff they enjoy... Inb4

The Guardian, 15 hours ago — KKK distributes flyers in Kentucky telling immigrants to 'leave now' ... Kentucky police are investigating after a series of racist Ku Klux Klan ...

I think I've just bombed an interview where I've been expected to produce a data model for a famous toy problem and 3LoC / minute.

I have some options lined up, but I would like to get more into the pipeline. Can #FediHire hashtag help me find a #Rust engineer position? 👀

P.S.
I can't reasonably toot it without plugging #ZeroHR.io for technical skill assessment. It's like in a different universe from normal hiring practices in IT.

You don't have to be pro-capitalist to be anti-communist. Don't let hateful ideologies that diminish the value of human life force you into a false dichotomy.
