This is the weekly reminder (and EXCITED REMINDER) that for #law #lawyers #legal you might want to check out, add yourself, and import @heidilifeldman's #LawFedi list!

When I found it, I was the 60th(?) person on the list... it's now OVER 900 #LawFedi folks!

The list is here: https://mnky.us/3AYIapi (shortlink to Google Sheets)

If you would like to join, here’s how https://forms.gle/AKMhScVySmS93LbK9

Prof. Feldman keeps an eye on the list for spam, trolls, and errors.

#Dalle2 does a good job of generating square images, but a lousy job of generating rectangular images suitable for a Mastodon header

Five Forced Reads ("required reading")

What are five books you had to (but didn't want to) read, and then really enjoyed?

I remember –
1) "Pygmalion" George Bernard Shaw 1913 (high school)

2) "A Kestrel for a Knave" Barry Hines 1968 (HS)

3) "Travels With My Aunt" Graham Greene 1969 (HS)

4) "The Iliads of Homer" George Chapman trans. 1616 (Uni)

5) "Collected Ancient Greek Novels" BP Reardon ed. 1989 (Uni)

Your five or so? Not necessarily literature.

Sam Bankman-Fried's defense is pretty simple. Paraphrasing: "We were completely incompetent, even though we'd been assuring everyone that we were completely competent and making (inadvertently of course) lots of statements that turned out to be false."

Once again I am begging the void to produce an activitypub fediverse answer to bandcamp.

Labels, orgs, groups of punks host instances.

Bands create profiles. Can upload their music, organized by release with lyrics, art, metadata. Numerous download formats available. I don't really care about payment for music, but probably some integration with external payment platform (librepay?) for PWYC downloads goes here.

Profile is viewable by anyone. So far this is a self-hosted bandcamp clone (that also does not really exist as far as I know).

You can follow profiles from elsewhere on the fediverse and you'll get posts when the band publishes new songs/releases (with embedded player linking back to the media hosted on instance?) or posts other updates (tour dates! etc). (It should have RSS too)

Genuinely impressed by the creativity of #openai #gpt3. 🤯

What a great poem about #primeediting.

Hey, can anyone here recommend me short stories by trans women authors?

Anything speculative fiction (fantasy, sci-fi, horror, etc) published in the last 5 or years. Bonus points for POC, and/or new/unestablished authors.

REMINDER: "free speech" won't exist in the fascist ethnostate

Show up for your LGBTQ+ neighbors, family, friends, classmates, teachers, co-workers etc. and make the costs of individual and institutional homo/transphobia impossibly high.

I welcome Elon Musk’s statements of intent to get Twitter 2.0 ready for the DSA.

I am pleased to hear that he has read it carefully and considers it as a sensible approach to implement on a worldwide basis.

But let’s also be clear that there is still huge work ahead, as Twitter will have to implement transparent user policies, significantly reinforce content moderation and protect freedom of speech, tackle disinformation with resolve, and limit targeted advertising.
