“Is the MAGA Movement Powered by Teeny Weenie Energy?”

by Don Knight in The Midnight Manuscripts on Substack

“The MAGA movement isn’t alpha.

It’s not powerful.

It’s not masculine.

It’s a bunch of hateful bullies powered by small-dick energy”

The hormonal males at DOGE have removed two graphic novels about women astronauts on NASA.

These stories had been on NASA’s website for years, but now their main page shows a 404 error.

The PR is still online for now: https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-releases-interactive-graphic-novel-first-woman/

Didn't #marytrump warn us?
"This is far beyond garden-variety #narcissism,"

his niece, who has a doctoral degree in clinical #psychology, writes of Mr Trump.

"#Donald is not simply #weak, his #ego is a #fragile thing that must be #bolstered every moment because he knows deep down that he is #nothing of what he claims to be."

This essay is excellent, as is the linked Adam Conover video.

"This goes so much deeper than Elon, Mark, Jeff and Donald. They did not create patriarchal masculinity, but they are stuck defending it.
And we are all suffering for it."

For the #Derby #schooldistrict near #Wichita, #Kansas, there must never be a negative word uttered about their #dearleader, whose #ego is #fragile but #massive.

This sounds so #MomsforLiberty-ish.

About a year ago @alifeeney and I got this tropical plant from a neighbor. It had been brightening up our dim room with its tropical leaves, but it loves sun, and our cloudy Brooklyn apartment does not provide, so its been dying/shrinking and has a mould from not enough light.

After trying little cheap led lights for it, I decided to use some of the giant tubes I got in NC and make a light for it. This is about 12-18 feet or so of 20mm mercury rose pink. I think its between 4- 6 pounds of glass. It puts off a lot of light, is really easy to light up (large diameter tubes have less resistance) and you can look right at it without it being too bright.

After about an hour of being wrapped in the light, the plants leaves started perking up a little :) I plan on making an acrylic trellis with stuff scrapped from Manhattan ad campaigns so I can make a few more coils for it.

#Fragile Software Development - a new trend.

Almost ready…

Nothing is as fragile as democracy. It requires constant work to maintain. If you take your eyes off, you're soon heading downhill. We’ve always struggled & succeeded in that work throughout ages, albeit with great loss & suffering. It’s exhausting & unrelenting work & can never give way to the destructive.

When Trump feels betrayed,
his pathologically #fragile #ego
causes him to compulsively sabotage his long-term interests & goals
in order to vindictively pursue his short term "wins" (#revenge).

Remember when Trump was pissed off because @GaSecofState Raffensperger didn’t corruptly hand the 2020 election to Trump?

It resulted in Georgia sending a Democrat to the U.S. Senate for the first time since 2000

#Ukraine #WeStillCannotLookAway

The #children sat in stunned silence, their #fragile bodies still #tethered to medical drips outside the #okhmatdyt children’s hospital in central #Kyiv
They had not long emerged from the #hospitals dark, #dusty #bombshelter and their eyes were still #adjusting to the light.

A woman rushed past, cradling an #infant covered with #blood. #Okhmadyt

"Software sprints have become an article of faith in the technology world. In competitive industries that are driven by software, companies feel immense pressure to ship new products and features before their competitors. Aggressive two-week deadlines are common, with a small army of developers dividing up work production-line style and racing toward an immutable launch date." https://thenewstack.io/how-sprinting-slows-you-down-a-better-way-to-build-software/ by @TheNewStack #agile #scrum #fragile
