David Heinemeier Hansson called for the extermination of Romani people, comparing them to animals. An entire roster of tech tycoons responded by each personally giving him $1 million for his open source software project, even though he’s already wealthy enough to have a personal race car team.

Great thread!
A personal story about that phrase “young men of fighting age” applied to asylum seekers.
As many of you know I took in a young Ukrainian woman under the Homes for Ukraine scheme.
As part of that process, soon after she arrived we were visited by the local authority rep and a Fire Brigade rep.

I'm not surprised but I'm truly disgusted that this narrative of "dangerous fighting age men posing a threat to women and children" is genuinely doing the rounds on the media with almost no push back at all.
This is 1930s level stuff.

The dumbest asshole in the country and the President need to be two different people moving forward
Trump: "If we lose $50 billion a year with a country, and we say 'we're not going to trade with you anymore,' we don't lose $50 billion a year. It's very simple. Right?"

This one is worth your time
A frog walks into a bank. It hops up in front of the teller and says "Hi, I'd like to get a loan please."
The teller is understandably surprised at this, but maintains her professional demeanor. "OK, how much?"
"$50000 please."
"OK. First I'll need your name."
