I'm so angry — House Republicans have just introduced legislation to repeal the $35/month cap on insulin that Democrats passed for seniors on Medicare.

I need you to retweet and spread the word about this. Every voter needs to know.

We all have different things that touch us. For some, it's stories on the printed page. For others, songs or spoken narratives. For yet others, photographs.

You may not know that the US government hired Dorothea Lange to photograph the "relocation effort."

She clearly saw the injustice and human tragedy that was unfolding, and documented it unflinchingly.

Her work was censored, and only in 2006 made broadly available.

Take a moment and see what she saw.

I put up a little Good Omens thing as a Valentine's Day present to the world on Tumblr. https://at.tumblr.com/neil-gaiman/madam-i-said-i-do-believe-that-you-have/ihvw9jkbgryo

Reading @kathryntewson and @remygreen’s filing against “#AI lawyer” company DoNotPay and it’s pretty entertaining. This note made me laugh https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/fbem/DocumentDisplayServlet?documentId=03qP13k5dwO5M3jARG6QFw==&system=prod&TSPD_101_R0=08533cd43fab2000c66657d0f30c564f9618090d00ba5f4fa82d79a4bfe6c4872f47acc7d199367f08d21f461c1430001497fbac12c7d6eea1a6aba4fd8ab77d51dd31e43a0e977acb92aa7ea1235cf660cb13d62a21e8fc6e0c3bea1378ce43 cc @mmasnick

The starling’s plumage is so very impressive and beautiful up close. #Birds #BirdPhotography #BirdWatching #BirdsOfMastodon #Nature #NaturePhotography #Photography #Nikon

We'll be live in beta tomorrow with case updates here on Mastodon.

What cases should we start following? Reply with docket number, court, and link to CourtListener, if you have it!

In the process of making a different point, @mmasnick does a great job showing how deeply US #copyright law in 1790 differed from US copyright law today.

PS: Or how far the original US arguments for copyright fall short of justifying what copyright has become.

Hahahaha!

What was that again, Fascist Party? Nobody’s coming after our earned benefits?

The goal posts have moved so far that we are now celebrating the fact that the FL Athletic Association will not require female athletes to provide information about their menstrual cycles.

Next celebration, history allowed to be taught! Books allowed to be read! Dystopian. Orwellian. United States in 2023.

Ten years ago I made lots of Lego photographs, most were just for fun but some were made commissioned. These two Council of Elrond set images are from a LotR photoseries I made for #lego in 2013.

Looking at the newly revealed gigantic Rivendell set brings back a lot of fond memories from the old LotR photoshoots. I loved those session, they were my personal "there and back".

Do you ever see faces in things? That's a phenomenon called pareidolia, and it's when our brains see familiar shapes in objects or data, like in the cloud clouds or the cosmos. Here are some of our favorite examples of pareidolia in space: https://go.nasa.gov/3jIDzCp
