The Volatile Mermaid @OhNoSheTwitnt@mastodon.social

People having abortions won’t affect your life. Gay people getting married won’t
affect your life. Trans people existing won’t affect your life. But people
owning AR-15s sure as fuck will.

This may well be one of the best protest signs I think I've ever seen...

David Koff (he/him) @thetechtutor@me.dm

Whole Foods, owned by Amazon, now has biometric handprint scanning to pay for
your groceries.

When I expressed my concern, the feller behind the counter said, “It’s just like
the biometric scanner on your phone…”

“Um, no, it’s not,” I replied. “Because THAT biometric data is on MY device, not
yours.”

He shrugged in response.

I don’t advise you to go this route, friends. Not until there are more legal
standards and protections in place to protect consumers.

Tim Mak<p>Here are the results of testing a Ukraine thread on Mastodon. </p><p>I
only have 1/20th the following here as I do on Twitter. </p><p>Yet you folks
provided 1/4 the boosts/likes/comments that Twitter did on similar news
reporting. </p><p>I’m staying. </p><p>And maybe I’ll even post to Mastodon first
for my next big announcement!</p>
Yoel Roth<p>Globally restricting speech based on local legal demands (in this
case, from India) is exactly as terrifying as <span class="h-card"><a

was EXCEEDINGLY rare in the Twitter 1.0 days — I can think of a vanishingly
small number of examples, all of which involved extensive litigation and
pushback to avoid having to comply.</p><p>A dark day for free speech indeed.</p>
Simon Willison<p>Super depressing read on the r/freelanceWriters
subreddit:</p><p>"I literally lost my biggest and best client to ChatGPT today.
This client is my main source of income, he’s a marketer who outsources the
majority of his copy and content writing to me. Today he emailed saying that
although he knows AI’s work isn’t nearly as good as mine, he can’t ignore the
profit margin. [...] Please do not think you are immune to this unless you are
the top 1% of writers."</p><p><a

Dan Gillmor<p>Not content with banning reality and history from school and
public libraries, the extremist right (aka Republican Party) is now looks to
kill the libraries. See this from ever-more-retrograde Missouri: <a

Dr. Casey Fiesler<p>someone complimented my “save icon” earrings yesterday</p>
Robert Reich<p>The Republican Party says it is the "party of limited
government.”</p><p>Yet a Trump-appointed judge in Texas has effectively
suspended access to an abortion pill in EVERY state, potentially impacting more
than 64 million people.</p><p>Does that sound like "limited government" to
you?</p>

get it to say things that it doesn't usually otherwise say.</p><p>But I'm

Mastodon•ART 🎨 Curator :masto:<p>Gentle reminder: there are many blind and
partially sighted users on the fediverse, and alt text is important for
accessibility. It's becoming more and more commonplace that people won't boost
toots with media that's either undescribed or lacking in a call for help with
the alt text. </p><p>I have a guide here on how to write alt text, a bot you can
follow if you keep forgetting, and options for asking for help with alt
text:</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/@Curator/109279035107793247"

Joey Fishkin<p>I have been waiting for someone to make this exact point, and
there is no one better placed to do it than Adam Cohen, whose book is where I
first read in detail the story of the Nixon Administration&#39;s involvement in
driving Abe Fortas from office.</p><p>Short version: Abe Fortas resigned in a
scandal very similar to the current Clarence Thomas one (accepting $$$ from a
rich benefactor); the biggest difference being that the scale, in Fortas&#39;
case, was much smaller.</p><p><a
