When #SF tech exec Bob Lee was stabbed to death on Apr 5, a chorus of conservative liars like Elon Musk blamed it on "the homeless" and liberal city officials. His accused killer turns out to be another tech exec, who Lee knew. How many of your #FoxNews watching relatives will ever hear this? #crime https://missionlocal.org/2023/04/bob-lee-killing-arrest-made-san-francisco/
Arrest made in SF killing of Bob Lee — tech exec’s alleged killer also worked in tech

Mission Local is told that San Francisco police this morning arrested a suspect, Nima Momeni, in the April 4 killing of tech exec Bob Lee.

No. No no no no no no no. This is the worst idea I've ever seen in my life.

"church owned"
"public access" (so not public)

And let me guess, the books on science and anatomy will be in private men's only club libraries?

Why do these people want to live in the 1890s??

Texas judge’s abortion pill decision cites research based on anonymous blog posts, cherry picks stats that exaggerate the negative physical & psychological effects of mifepristone & ignores hundreds of scientific studies attesting to the drug’s safety.

Unpacking the flawed science cited in the Texas abortion pill ruling

Texas judge ignored scientific evidence of abortion pill’s safety, citing statistics that overstate the negative physical and psychological effects of mifepristone.

This ruling would still set a precedent that political groups can sue over other people's health care access, and judges can revisit and countermand any medical findings of drug regulators for political reasons. Just not if it was, like, 20 years ago, man.

The Narcissist with a Top Secret Clearance Trying to Impress Teenagers in a Ukraine-Russia Chat Room - emptywheel

Based on the observations of untrained teenagers, it's fairly clear the guy behind the Thug Shaker leaks is a narcissist ginned up by conspiracy theories who leaked the documents in a room focused on Ukraine. The question is whether he leaked the documents solely for the adulation of teenagers, or whether some spooks IDed him as an easy mark.

This is fucking despicable.
Don’t be confused. This isn’t Germany and we’re not in 1939.
This is Bethesda, Maryland 2022.

Public Service Warning

Mastodon has a very big surge of new users right now. There's no way to tell if it will be sustained, but at this early point it looks similar to Nov 18 when Musk pulled the employee purge.

It is very challenging for system administration to accommodate so many new users. If your server starts to struggle, it is not broken and will get sorted out.

We're all in this together. It's our social network. Be patient. What we are building is amazing.

#twittermigration

Every news outlet should stand up a Mastondon instance for their reporters & staff.

It’ll be great to see [email protected] or whatever domain they want to use.

Built in verification. Every reporter for the Washington Post on a washpo domain. Every reporter for the New York Times on an NYTimes domain. Etc, etc.

Plus the “local” feed for each instance becomes a feed of all the posts from that institution mixed together — providing extra discovery.
