#HotTake: Every #human should be entitled by international #law to free, unseizeable #ID documents in the form of a travel #passport to evidence their #identity and have #FreedomOfMovement as well as a chance to #flee.
- It should also be illegal to demand #biometrics like #Fingerprints which are trivial to forge anyway!
Why?
- Because in past and in present day denying the issue and/or confiscation of #passports has been used and abused solely to commit #democide, #genocide and #hatecrime both #opposition groups and #minorities.
Bike lanes should be kept clear at full width for ambulances. Haul away blockers accordingly. #biketooter #hottake
#hottake: The 1975 is just Radiohead for zillenials. Both are lauded by critics as revolutionary despite their problematic normalization of injustice. Both are posers and culture vultures. Their ethics don't match their aesthetic. They may "popularize" certain sounds, but so did Clapton.
(If you're unaware, Radiohead has repeatedly crossed the picket line and played in Israel despite calls for BDS amid Israel's genocide of Palestinians.)
Am I the only one who has become way more hyped for (G)I-DLE solo stuff than group projects?
From Yuqi's YUQ1 last year to my growing hype for Minnie's solo EP, I have been enjoying it much more than their group music for a couple years now.
Maybe it's me.
People are captivated by the #hottake, the #callout, the #clapback, the immediate verdict. But responsible political judgment requires reflection, and reflection takes time. https://buff.ly/3DJgxEW #politics #groupthink
#HotTake: I dig Melania's WH #holiday #decorations.
Maybe somewhat #HotTake: If we got rid of #PDF s for #accessibility and replaced them with semantic #HTML, we would see one of, if not the, largest curb-cut moment in the history of computing.
EVERYONE would benefit, even people who want to print them, because you can change text-size relative to paper when printing HTML.
The only technical thing that is kinda missing to make this viable is a proper standardized container-format that can store things like images in the same file. (Yes, data-URLs are a thing and nice for small stuff, but utterly inefficient for anything large.) Maybe we should start looking into that.
This #Cishet #guy’s take on why #heterosexuality doesn’t #makesense is hitting home on #TikTok
While #straightness is seen as #society’s #default #sexuality, #LGBTQ+ #folks’ are constantly worried that their #love #lives will be up for #debate. But one straight guy on TikTok thinks the #opposite should be true, and he took to TikTok to share his #hottake with the world.

My favorite show on Apple TV by far, and better than anything else on any other service in the last three years.
I know some people that have strong opinions about #snap packages and so this may be a hot take: snaps > #appimages
Snaps, like #flatpak, just work for me. I cannot say the same for appimages.
Hot Take: Snatching a pot right off the stove without an oven mitt.
I think the majority of so-called "workshops" are waste of time: Rituals that allow everyone to feel like they are doing actual - maybe even creative - work while mostly not moving things forward that much (and sometimes creating distractions to follow instead of actual work on relevant and meaningful problems).
#hottake: I like APNG
- How ever long it takes to tell the story you are trying to tell.
- see above
- If those songs help tell the story add them.
- Is it worth it to you to put the time and energy into making the thing? If yes then its worth it!
My possibly unpopular #hottake:
Artists should not consider their audience at all. Make the art you want to make. Tell the story you want to tell. Don't muddy the waters with what some yet unknown listener might think.
#HotTake: #Homebrewers are the modern day counterparts to Oscar #Schindler in that they take significant personal risk in order to save countless lives of a minority that is suffering from Nazi-persecution.
The grey-market sellers of prescription-medication might not quite reach there, because their stuff is so expensive that it limits who can receive it, but they are heroes too.
