...one would have thought that some cases that will unnecessarily throw the country into a political cataclysm, say like ending Roe v Wade, if willy-nilly decisions by a corrupt, inept SC interferes with settled law, say by reversing convictions of terrorist insurrectionists doing no one any good, should just not make the docket.....imho. My kingdom for a real SCOTUS....

My general opinion of #threads #federating

Any instance should choose whether or not to federate with threads

They should pay the hosting costs of any server they pull data from

not run ads against the content that comes from other instances

Any changes to the AP protocol needs to be pushed upstream. If upstream is not interested in the change, they need to respect that and stay in spec. We do not need another #Jabber #xmpp vs google thing going on

From earlier this evening. Trump gaslighting and fraud scam fund raising simultaneously as #MAGAMikeJohnson was calling the impeachment inquiry vote.

Make do doubt about it. This was a loyalty vote. It is also a deeply complicit fascist assault. And, it is also the beginning of his “retribution”. It is also an escalation of his continuing coup plot to “dominate”. He is proving he owns all the “Republicans” in the US House of Representatives.

Next was an amazing talk by @aaronclauset on the drivers of productivity and prominence among scientists at the CU Boulder. Clauset takes a hammer to the myth of scientific meritocracy, showing that everything from output differences between male and female scientists to differences between professors at top tier and bottom tier universities can be nearly entirely explained by two things - funding and networks. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyhZ645Vh14 (6/10) #science #economics
