Quick note: If you follow me, you probably noticed that I post occasional photos. Unfortunately, the default display behavior on most Mastodon instances and clients crops many images unless you click on them. I hate this, as does every other photographer here, but it's not likely to change any time soon.

You can disable this broken behavior in the Mastodon web interface by unchecking a box under display preferences.

But in any case, please be aware you might not be seeing the whole photo.

I just want to say that if I ever get on the Supreme Court I am going to be reasonable. I will not require you to ply me with private jets and yachts to private estates and exclusive famous resorts and $5k bottles of wine.

Business class (or even economy plus) to an AirBnB in Maui and six or seven boxes of those Cutwater Mai Tais would totally do the trick. Then I will TOTALLY stop deferring to Chevron. I will not defer to ANY gas stations.

I am a man of the people.

God, how far Alan Dershowitz has fallen. He could start a pillow company at this point.

Each week, journalists Kevin Roose and Casey Newton explore and make sense of the rapidly changing world of tech.

Ah, the judge who will take Trump’s arraignment is named Juan.

The greatest story about social media. I don't think it gets better.

In November 2022, @TexasObserver became one of the first newspapers to start their own Mastodon server.

Unlike most newspapers, @TexasObserver operates as a non-profit.

This week, the non-profit’s board of directors voted to disband @TexasObserver.

But within 48 hours, people have given $250,000 so it can continue to exist.

Notable: Fox News gave Trump a platform tonight to trash DeSantis with no pushback from Hannity whatsoever. In case you were wondering if Fox would rally behind Trump again.
Every day is like "starting tomorrow only people who post ‘Elon is cool' will be eligible to have their tweets appear in English" and the entire press corps and all of my friends continue to post there like nothing has changed
