We’ve had Orla for two weeks, and she’s settling in really nicely. Check-up at the vet earlier today, so she’s sleeping off the stress. How sweet is her face?? #Caturday #CatsOfMastodon #SealpointSiamese

Almost surely this is a joke -- and another bad one at that.

Imo, in this historical moment, no privacy policy or technical measure could be protective enough of this information to justify putting it into the hands of a third party app developer. Just say no.

"We have established the strongest legal foundation for public access and reuse of digitizations of public domain works ever, in the most challenging possible circumstances, against an extremely well-positioned adversary. This ruling [now on appeal] is a significant accomplishment that will help with every other fight for public access to cultural heritage works in France and beyond." #OpenAccess #CulturalHeritage

I honestly believe this is the plan. They’ll try to create enough chaos in pivotal states to throw it to the Supreme Court, and the conservative majority will maneuver to do for Trump what they did for W in 2000.

Digital preservation is hard. It’s a little counterintuitive, but most “primitive” (i.e., analog) formats are way more stable.

I think we don’t talk enough about how NASA has stranded astronauts in space and is relying on commercial services to get them back but one of those commercial services can’t manufacture safe equipment and the other is run by a fascist.

This is an extraordinarily astute conversation about the differences between Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris and their respective candidacies. For me, it really has taken this moment in time to fully appreciate the web of reasons for Clinton’s inability to bring it home and how much her decades in a deeply sexist spotlight and her secondariness to Bill did her in as a contender. #KamalaHarris

Reaganomics was always bullshit, and its cynical proponents have always known that. Shame on the media for only calling bullshit now, after extreme wealth inequality has wrecked our democracy and rotted our social fabric.
