    Just updated all my #Drupal clients and side projects to the latest version. If you haven't seen, this update covers a MAJOR security vulnerability. If you have a Drupal site, make sure you get it updated today!

      from Washington Post
      A Virginia mother is facing a reckoning after police said her son killed his girlfriend’s parents, just days after they accused him of being an “outspoken Neo-Nazi.”

      I suspected the blood-testing company was hiding something back in 2014. Then someone pulled a fire alarm.

    @andrawatkins It's similar in my family. My father always kept a loaded gun in an easily accessible place where anyone could have used it. It was not safe.

    "you have to wonder if the entire industry’s tactics for combatting workplace sexism and racism—putting out data that demonstrates a lack of diversity in the workforce while placing the onus on employees to speak up when they’re harassed at work—are failing." https://gizmodo.com/google-isnt-listening-so-its-employees-are-suing-1823611720

    1. Google Isn't Listening, So Its Employees Are Suing
      from Gizmodo
      If you ask Google whether it has a discrimination problem, the company might point you to its industry-leading diversity efforts or its program for responding to complaints. But employees who challenge that narrative by asserting that it has created anything but a healthy, supportive environment are being labeled troublemakers and, in some instances, pushed out of the company. Today, Google faces so many of these troublemakers that it can no longer simply shrug them off, even if its every instinct is to do just that.
