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

RIP our precious Silas. He was an extraordinary friend and the most beautiful boy.

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.

Hakeem Jeffries is one guy, and there are already high-level members ‘breaking ranks.’ The Democrats have no party discipline in high stakes situations; I fully believe they can’t pull off a high-wire act here.

Unimpeachable logic from The Economist: Trump and Biden are both unfit to be POTUS, therefore Biden should withdraw. 🙄

"In response, record companies are now trying to prohibit re-recordings for 20 or 30 years, not just two or three. And this has become a key part of contract negotiations ... [T]hey want to make sure that the artist’s vocal cords are not in good shape by the time they get around to re-recording.” #copyright

Now that Chevron deference (and the administrative state) is dead, Trumpists are planning to gut what’s left of the professional civil service if Trump gets reelected. The far right’s dream of destroying the federal government as the agent of the public’s interest will be realized.

Pro tip: If you have rubberized handles on umbrellas, and the rubber has become sticky and gross and partially worn off, 91% isopropyl rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball—and a little elbow grease—will get you down to smooth plastic.
