@arstechnica The article says that #ReflexLighting is the new owner of the lighting control system, but they are not a manufacturer, just a regional manufacturer's rep. #CooperLighting looks to be the owner of 5th Light. They are a pretty big company in the architectural lighting world. It would be up to them and their customer service team to adjust things.

I wanted to share this truly wonderful photo of the old public library of Cincinnati, there’s many more in this article: https://www.cincinnatimagazine.com/citywiseblog/remembering-queen-citys-temple-books/. It has a sort of steampunk vibe to it, don’t you think? (I did a reverse image search on Google because I kept seeing this image pop up, and I wanted to learn more about where this place was!) #Libraries @libraries #History #Cincinnati

The old main library was like a Hollywood conception of what a library should look like.

George Santos' fun first day in Congress:

"For long stretches of time, no one sat directly next to him. His nearest seatmates were the squirming children of members-elect. Santos alternated between staring at his phone and glancing quickly around the chamber, the proverbial school cafeteria. He yawned a lot. He scratched his chin, his cheek, his lips. He fidgeted. He wiped his left index finger around the rim of his right nostril."

George Santos had an awkward first day at the office

The New York Republican, accused of fabricating details of his biography, got a taste of scrutiny that comes with his new job.

@KateElliottSFF I just pre-ordered #FuriousHeaven. I am very excited because I couldn't put down the first one. Also, I am so glad to find you on Mastodon. You are my favorite author and when I left Twitter I just wasn't sure what to expect in regards to where people might land (And I know it is still a moving target).

I would really like to quote-tweet this, adding my 2 cents and amplifying Taylor's words.

But I can't. And that's unfortunate.

The New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, CNN and Associated Press have all posted guides to using Mastodon, which in turn have been syndicated by numerous local news outlets. That matters. We're rapidly approaching a situation where the media will refer to things happening "on Mastodon" the way they referred to Twitter in, say, 2013.

We found out what really happened in the stalking incident Elon Musk cited to ban @elonjet and a bunch of journalists. This is the story we were asking Musk about on Twitter when he suspended @taylorlorenz. (I'm still suspended!) https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/12/18/details-of-musk-stalking-incident/

Musk blamed a Twitter account for an alleged stalker. Police see no link.

The incident last week underscored how Elon Musk’s personal concerns can influence his governance of a social media platform used by hundreds of millions of people.
