I am pleased as punch to release Lactoserv v0.8.6. Lactoserv is a web application backend toolkit and standalone web server, written in Node. This is the first stable release of the v0.8.* series, and it has very few changes from the previous release. As of this release, the v0.5.* series is now retired.

"When [Boeing] smashed its unions [and did many other short-sighted things] it realized a savings. Today, between strikes, fines, lawsuits, and a mountain of self-inflicted reputational harm, the company is on the brink of ruin. Was Boeing good to its shareholders? Well, sure – the shareholders who cashed out before all the shit hit the fan made out well. Shareholders with a[n obligatory] buy-and-hold posture got screwed." — @pluralistic

"They must go to court to take away your gun, but Republicans can — and routinely do — take away our votes without even informing us.
And then they make you take a day off work and drive a hundred miles to the Secretary of State’s office to prove that you’re still who you’d already proved you were when you first registered, before you’d been bounced onto the suspense list."
