      American towns and cities could lay Stolpersteine (stumble-stones) to mark the lost and disappeared.
      
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stolper...
      
      They are subtle, but they work.
      
      My kids ask me what they are. In an age-appropriate way, I try to explain what happens when really bad people get into power.

      From time to time I rewatch this to remind me how
      @cassidoo.co, @tzmanics.bsky.social, @jason.energy, and I where partial to an impromptu PR merging party.
      
      And this from @davatron5000.bsky.social got me in the feels and made today a day to watch it again for a smile.

      I would happily trust Netlify with my data layer. They've been the greatest hosting provider I've ever had. My only feedback note would be to rebuild the kickass devrel team. I think we all benefitted from their outwardness and creativity.
