Well, and there is always this one character, that needs to escalate things. Meet Don Diego de Corral y Arellano in 1631, holding more than just one letter. This power move is called the ultimate paper practice: signaling multitasking excellence by dealing with more than one news flow simultaneously. Eat my dust, you losers. I am the cosmos. These are my paper letters!

19 states are requesting women's medical records to see if they have traveled to get an abortion or for any contraception or gender surgical procedure. WTF? What happened to medical privacy? When it was for covid info, records were blocked, giving the unvaccinated permission to spread disease. But your most personal info is okay because you are a woman, so therefore, property of the state you live in?

This is what happens when you pay people for the work they do. (Via @Radical_EgoCom)

A defunded IRS means a tax evasion free-for-all for the ultra-rich.

The richest 1% already evade as much as $163 billion a year in taxes.

This is why the GOP relentlessly tries to gut IRS.

It’s all a ploy to help their wealthy mega-donors.

@edpeters @SrRochardBunson “Though he was already deceased when his body was dumped into a central square in Milan, that didn't stop swells of people from beating, spitting on, and screaming at his remains. Along with his mistress Clara Petacci and 14 other fascists, Benito Mussolini's body was beaten beyond recognition and hung above a gas station – a symbol of what the world thought of Axis leaders at the end of WWII.” That says it all right there.

I just spit water (thank heaven I finished my coffee) all over my monitor.

The "expert" witness is a forensic examiner in the Massachusetts State Police "cyber crimes unit."

"Q What's the difference between Google and Google Chrome?
A Minimal differences. Chrome has more features, as I recall."

THIS GUY IS TESTIFYING ABOUT THE CONTENTS OF A DEFENDANT'S COMPUTER BUT HE DOES NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SEARCH ENGINE AND A BROWSER.

I rest my fucking case.

Hi #LawFedi & #lawprofs. Given the exodus of #legalacademia and #lawtwitter from our usual hangout, we thought we should make an account here. Please be gentle with us as we get used to posting (tooting?) on this platform. 🙂

“Is mastodon like twitter?”

“No, not at all. Mastodon is still a thing.”

A third of Republicans say racism against White people is a big problem. Only a quarter say racism against Black people is. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/07/24/desantis-racism-slavery-education/

Let me tell you the secret of the "Everything App".

It's real, it's not called X, and it's about 33 years old. It's called a Web Browser.

Despite a decade of walled gardens trying hard to ruin it, you can still do pretty much any task you need on the web.

You can even make websites into apps with Progressive Web Apps (two clicks on WordPress).

The everything app is old, and under siege daily. But it works, it's resilient, and it's magical.

One other thing:

This kind of annoying headache inducing super local nit picky local politics is *the most important kind of political battle right now*

Power is built from these tiny councils up-- and the structures that keep all manner of "outsiders" from participating, or even knowing what they are doing need to be destroyed -- one little town at a time. Get the school board too.

If you live in a small town and don't know who the mayor is or what he does.

Maybe YOU should be the mayor.

The laziness of #twitter is really showing... At least add some color or something.

So the verb ‘to tweet’ I assume will have to change to ‘to Xcrete’ ?
