@kathrynmathias @dbattistella @jace Sadly the US textbook industry was long ago taken over by right wingers. Texas is a large market. Publishers don't wanna make lots of versions of a textbook, so most only publish the Texas version. It's horrible. I used to teach school and I've been warning of the risk to democracy for a long time now. Mostly felt like the lone voice here in the Missouri Ozarks. I have hope now that others are recognizing the problem.

Sounds a lot like grooming. I’m not suggesting that it literally is on the parents’ end, but these people can’t even talk about this stuff without being creepy— PROBABLY BECAUSE THE GROUP IS MADE UP OF CREEPY EVANGELICAL MEN OVER THE AGE OF 50

Via @thehill, a damn bot: "GOP, Democrats play chicken with debt ceiling"

I won't link.

NoNO, DEMOCRATS ARE NOT "PLAYING CHICKEN." Republicans are! Dems want to pay what we owe. Stop "both sidesing" it, FFS.

Fascist Republicans want to default and throw the world into economic chaos. Dems want to be responsible and do what we've always done.

Federal judge rules Pennsylvania school district must allow After School Satan Club

A school district in Pennsylvania must allow students to convene an After School Satan Club, a federal judge ruled on Monday. 

“In a victory for free speech and religious freedom, a federal court has ruled that the Saucon Valley School District must allow the After School Satan Club to meet in district facilities,”

Just applied for Facebook's Analytica lawsuit. You don't get much, but I hate them, so glad to make the tiniest of dents in the side of their giant corporate warship.

@atomicpoet Agreed. Mistakes may have been made, but hindsight is easy. The #MastodonMigration created a big disruption in a community that had been debating these principles, for years. Things change. Now it seems Mastodon will get some of these features. Hopefully that will address the concerns of those who petitioned hard for them.

Also, now that people are getting more familiar with distributed systems, introducing real viable alternatives should be easier. Let's try.

If you're on the mstdn.social instance you may have seen that there are some issues today with media on the site.

Stux has been on it since waking up, and he's the guy that's running all of this for us.

If you don't already, can I implore you to support him by using patreon.com/mstdn and chipping in.

Running this stuff takes a lot of time, resources, and money. There are no adverts here, and no investor companies - so he's paying it all. Let's cover his bills and then some more.
