I'm not saying it's ever OK - I'm just saying that perhaps instead of MMA fighting and weapons we could bring back complicated dance routines. Teach our angry sons choreography. Get all these stupid preening mogger influencers to try and out-tap one another. Social standing based on who has the fanciest shoes.
@TheBreadmonkey I regret to report that dancing and collecting shoes for clout is a lot of what the youths are up to today on the TikTok

@TheBreadmonkey I always quite enjoyed that the Jets and the Sharks mainly solved their difference with finger clicking and assertive dancing.

@TheBreadmonkey my Dad was an amazing dancer at weddi. He said growing up in 60s Glasgow you either learned to fight or dance. He almost combined the two at my uncle’s wedding when the bride got overexcited and managed to whack him under his chin.

@TheBreadmonkey throwing a small serious bomb into this - I work with a project delivering modern dance in the young offenders (18-25 year old) prison setting.
Have been in to watch performances and chat with the young lads. Absolutely incredible, transformational work.
Daily Heil would loath it of course but it's literally saving lives.

I was on board until the shoes, we don't want to make yet another money measuring contest
I was thinking about who could design the fanciest pattern and draw it on with pen. Like me and my DMs and band names when I was 14. Whatever the tap dancing equivalent of Metallica is.

No. Really?!

Also knife crime and racism to be fair

@ygathgoch @TheBreadmonkey that's how capoeira was born. Also I'm sure there's some Ranma episode about a Dancing School of Martial Arts

There is a lot happening on the project right now, especially in the lead up to 4.6. We're also now part of the Social Web Working Group at the W3C. As usual, many moving parts to coordinate. I'm always excited to see the team's progress as we pull together our monthly update for the community.

#Console command of the day: factor
Type in "factor <number>" and you get all the #prime factors of the number.
This command is part of the #GNU #coreutils so if you’re on a GNU/#Linux system, you should already have it.

It takes a little bit more effort to make sure I get at least 2 women as facilitators each month. Inclusion takes work, and the work has always paid off, month after month and year after year.
Intentional effort goes a long way into building that community you want to surround yourself with. Especially in the tech community.

Che cosa sono adesso? Pensava, contemplandosi allo specchio. E lo specchio replicava con la brutale sincerità degli specchi: “Non sei nulla”.

Iran, lo scivolone di Trump
Quando si chiede la resa incondizionata di un paese e quella resa non arriva, la retorica della vittoria rischia di apparire ridicola.

Rumors of Tony Hoare's death may have been greatly exaggerated? Perhaps those processes continue to communicate (sequentially)
I don't really know but don't take my thread as an indicator

I guess it's harder to inspire than to criticize, just as it is harder to build up than destroy.
No big discovery this. Just that I should have it in mind, when I talk.
Or maybe I could become a hermit, take a vow of silence...
Me (looking at caves in Cavellow): holy shit! The cheapest cave is 3 million dollars what the actual fuck!!! Focking billionaires. EA THE REICH! ARRRGHH!

A conti fatti, il bilancio politico della guerra contro l'Iran appare problematico. Nessun cambio di regime, nessuna resa incondizionata, un sistema iraniano che rimane in piedi e una crisi internazionale che ha creato tensioni economiche e diplomatiche. La successione interna alla leadership iraniana mostra che la stabilità del potere a Teheran.
