Time for an #introduction post from me I think

Hi, I'm Simon! I'm a full-time open source developer based in Half Moon Bay, California (half an hour south of San Francisco), mostly working on datasette.io and the 100+ (seriously) tools and plugins around it.

The theme of my work is helping people explore, analyze and publish their data.

You can learn lots more about me in this post I wrote celebrating my blog's 20th birthday simonwillison.net/2022/Jun/12/

I'm going to be blunt.

How much per hour would you require to wipe arses, clean up shit, piss & blood. Watch people in excessive pain, hold the hands of people struggling to stay alive listening to their last breaths & get up and do it again tomorrow ?

Nurses & Care Workers.

I’m only a couple of chapters into this book, but I think more folks on the left need to read it. I’m beginning to understand why some Jewish comrades feel so aggrieved and confused and how we need to talk to each other with a lot more love and care. @MaxZadow @embedded_iot

When did it become a thing that there's something inherently unlikely about a young, single man being an asylum seeker? I can think of many reasons why they would be. I very rarely write about personal stuff on Twitter, but here is the brief story of my late father-in-law. 1/15

Insulin is grown in huge vats by modified bacteria for basically no cost. It was the intention of the people who developed this technique that no one who need it ever be without. It does not have any justification costing any amount of money. twitter.com/Kidfears99/status/

And here it comes…neglect the health service and then call the private sector in to “save it”.

Firstly, it’s not the NHS that needs saving. It’s people! People are dying and suffering.

Secondly, the NHS is not failing, it’s being failed.

We need saving from this government!

The front page helpfully illustrates the wider derangement of the UK press. Left: Woman fired after bizarre media campaign compels investigation, was photographed with person who was photographed with person. Right: Far right and extreme far right win power, and that’s fine.

Daniel Radcliffe seems like a sweet, thoughtful, quite softly spoken person and the idea that he is CANCELLING someone by expressing an opposing opinion is a very weird free speech gyration
