In other good Californian news, the state senate passed #SB562, which would give us single-payer healthcare. Fingers crossed for the House.
This is really good news. Thank you, California. http://cert1.mail-west.com/nmc7rm8Gyj8T/Ggtmyuzja/418/12aoam4qk/zwy/qk418Gqvnq8Gd/wndftyy7/8ggwqi?_c...
So to summarize, we have a government that doesn't believe in climate change, inclusivity, global trade, technological innovation, tolerance, significant portions of the Constitution, or telling the truth on any kind of reliable or ongoing basis.
Today's decision will make Americans significantly poorer, hurt most businesses, and have long-term effects that will be hard to undo. It's hard to see how they're not just out for themselves.
The America I love, and want, is the one where everyone is welcome, where the world is embraced, everyone has the freedom to love (and marry), everyone has dominion over their own bodies, everyone is free to follow the religion of their choice (including no religion), and we take care of our communities and our environment. These guys seem to want something very different.

Got a new MacBook Pro because my Air is falling apart. A bit sad: it's seen some tough times and a whole startup. Its stickers tell a tale.

Microsoft Word wants to correct Werdmuller to Wertmüller. I know Lina's exponentially more famous than me, but I beg your pardon.
Micropub is a lightweight, universal API for publishing to the web (created by #indieweb). Now a W3C recommendation! https://aaronparecki.com/2017/05/30/1/w3c-micropub
Opened the Mac App Store for the first time in months. There's a $30 app for writing Medium posts. Backing away slowly.
I'm still behind on Doctor Who. Just seen Oxygen, which is right up there with my favorite New Who episodes (and my favorite classic ones). Aside from Knock Knock, this season has been golden.
