Blizzard suspends professional hearthstone player over Hong Kong comments
https://playhearthstone.com/en-us/blog/23179289/
It should go without saying, but needs to be said, that I condemn China's treatment of Hong Kong, support everyone's right to self-governance, and condemn Blizzard for their actions here.

I don't think I've ever seen any service apply content abbreviation and hiding as badly as GitHub.
A file has lots of changes? GitHub will helpfully hide it from you, so you don't need to worry about it.
Lots of comments? Don't worry, GitHub is here to hide them from you so your day isn't ruined.
And just today? They added a feature to let you mark specific lines that your comment applies to? What does GitHub do with this new information? It abbreviates it and just shows the last few.

I'm trying to pick up some @godotengine now that I have to rest a week. Now I have something basic in place.

”Surely we would be fools if, having understood the logic of this terrible process, we assumed that it might not go on in its glutton’s optimism until it achieves the catastrophe that is its logical end.”
"This may be why people with such minds, as they approach the top of the political hierarchy, so readily sell themselves to ‘special interests.’ They cannot bear to be unbossed. They cannot stand the lonely work of making up their own minds."
"The idea of people working at home, as family members, as neighbors, as natives and citizens of their places, is as repugnant to the industrial mind as the idea of self-employment. The industrial mind is an organizational mind, and I think this mind is deeply disturbed and threatened by the existence of people who have no boss." - Wendell Berry

From https://www.self.com/story/just-cook-more-isnt-universal-solution-healthy-eating:
"Not everybody has the time or means to cook healthy meals from scratch, so let’s not pretend it’s that simple."
No, it's not that simple, but it's not that complicated either. #cooking yourself + eating + dealing with dishes takes around an hour on average which is hardly much longer than most people spend on take-outs, and *definitely* beats any sit-in meal time.
The algorithm ensures us that to continue emitting cataclysmic levels of pollution will guarantee increased profits in the upcoming quarter #winwin
The story about data analysis by Target from ”The Power of Habit” is a very compelling argument for why capitalism and tech will ensure the end of humanity

"A look through the pages of Popular Mechanics shows scientists trying to come to grips with carbon emissions, disappearing ice, and climate change all the way back to 1912, more than a century ago."
