Trump wants his D.C. trial put off until April 2026.

The judge should agree, but only after ordering pre-trial detention.

@briankrebs sort of related-- I haven't used it yet, but goblin.tools has this "Judge" tool that I've seen recommended: enter your text, and it tells you how it comes across qualitatively. The whole site is tools to help neurodivergent folks communicate better with the normals online, avoiding misunderstanding, bad assumptions about intent, etc.

Apple needs to add Mastodon to the list of social profile choices in Contacts. Adding a custom Mastodon field does nothing when an address is clicked in iOS 17 beta. Overdue. cc @pschiller

Sadly, over 2/3 of us were laid off from SuperHi yesterday. I’ll miss being a part of that team, wish them all the very best! More context: https://piperhaywood.com/a-long-overdue-work-update/

August marks two years since the Taliban took over Afghanistan. But this is not the only time they have held power in the war-torn country. During the first period of Taliban rule from 1996 to 2001, the people of Afghanistan suffered extensive hardships, many of which are repeating today. https://projects.voanews.com/life-under-the-taliban-tale-of-two-eras/ #voanews #voiceofamerica

Idea for a subject-specific Fediverse account.

1 - 3 times per day, post a brief summary of a criminal defendant, on charges as close to what Trump is charged with, and how they were treated (i.e. mugshot, jailed while awaiting trial, dependent on public attorney, etc.) to contrast with the favorable treatment Trump gets.

It would be a running comparison of real-life consequences for regular people and how Trump is treated differently. Incorporate the "two-tiered justice system" framing as well.

It's hard to be sure exactly what is happening, but I'm certainly getting the vibe that I need to be looking for work again.

Our 10yr old has gotten ***REALLY*** into mechanical watches & clocks to the point he's on the verge of starting a side gig repairing them. He mentions his hobby to everyone, and a lot of folks have a not-quite-working item sitting around. He's fixed a number of them.

He has had a tough time with an civil war era pocket watch, but was finally able to salvage a compatible part from somewhere, and he got it ticking today. He was so proud, and wants to share with everyone.

“When people want to listen to music they go to Spotify. When people want to study sound recordings as they were originally created, they go to libraries like the Internet Archive. Both are needed. There shouldn’t be conflict here.” - @brewsterkahle
