R.I.P. James Harrison, Australian hero, whose blood contained a rare antibody used to create medication to protect babies from a rare blood disorder. Having the antibody was just luck. What made him a hero was donating plasma every two weeks without missing one appointment for 60+ years. There's power in just reliably showing up for other people who need what only you can give them.

I was born in a #communist country with a #dictator. Being afraid of saying or doing the wrong thing might get you in prison is something terrible.
Looking at current #USpol but also #Politics in general these days bring up way to many memories from those times.
Please #Germany don’t elect #nazis and please all other countries with nearing elections to be very careful. The stuff they promise is not at all what you want.

Things that scare:

Kids: The dark
Sysadmins: Hardware failure
Developers: SQL injection
Cloud architect: us-east-1
Me: 'Can you join a quick call?'

Meta is now valued at $1.8 trillion.

Mark Zuckerberg is the world's second richest person. Yet Mark authorized stealing books and other media to train AI. He says an individual's work such as books or videos doesn’t matter. Then why did you steal them? Meta also removed fact-checkers and enabled attacks on minorities and ended DEI policies. Meta just announced firing 3,600 employees. You are 2nd richest person with zero moral compass.

Audio from the video isn’t the best, I am nervous as crap but have to start at some point right?
