Notice a few characteristics of this moment: 1) it is very hard to write a rule against what these police officers did 2) prior to video it would've been very hard to persuade anyone that they did anything wrong 3) but show people what happened and many are rightly infuriated

I don't have all the answers. I don't know what you should read. I can't tell you where to donate money. All I can tell you is I'm tired of being afraid that the next police officer I ride by will decide that today is the day that they'll end my life.

Autopsy reveals #GeorgeFloyd tested positive for COVID-19 in April. He recovered, only to suffocate to death under the knee, weight, and inhumanity of four Minneapolis police officers. Clearest example yet of the #pandemicwithinthepandemic startribune.com/george-floyd…

Ahh of course, it’s the protester’s fault for getting run over! x.com/jennydeluxe/status/126…

“I’m not going to blame officers who were in an impossible situation. The protestors did the wrong thing to surround that car.” — De Blasio in a presser on NY1 tonight, on the horrifying video of a police car plowing into a crowd of humans in New York.
Great read. I always appreciate when NSQ’s tradeoffs are evaluated honestly. Happy to see it’s still providing value. Thanks @calvinfo and the team at @segment.

re: cross-AZ traffic. We intended for NSQ clients to make “intelligent” decisions on which nsqd to connect to from what it got from nsqlookupd. E.g. in this case, rather than a proxy, the client could parse deterministic hostnames and ignore anything not in its AZ.

I look forward to the recording of @danluu's talk on "files" at @DeconstructConf '19. > We're going to look at the file "stack" starting at the top with the file API, which we'll see is nearly impossible to use correctly... 😂 read the transcript: danluu.com/deconstruct-files…

hi everybody, last year I joined young professionals leadership group of @arttherapyproj (I've since become a co-chair of the group). We're the only art therapy non-profit in NYC that provides free art therapy to survivors of trauma.
