"Either Justice Thomas is remarkably careless when it comes to financial disclosure requirements that apply not just to #SupremeCourt justices but to large swaths of the entire federal government, or it's worse and that he's actually deliberately withholding this information from his disclosure forms because of what it would look like if this came out." -Stephen Vladeck, professor of constitutional law, University of Texas
Learned some new, maybe basic, #emacs features today!
When coding, try out `M-x imenu` and `M-x occur` to quickly explore / navigate source code you're working with.
@nullifidian @davep I'm downloading them all now and I'll put them on my iPhone for later listening.
@nullifidian @davep Thanks! 👍

Here's a long thread with news organizations that have accounts (NOT bots) on Mastodon. Some are more active than others.

If you know of any news organizations (not individual journalists) that are not included on the list, please let me know.
A few of my favorites are:
@ProPublica (GOOD investigative journalism)
@TexasObserver
@damemagazine (women-led)
@gbhnews (an NPR affiliate (unless I'm mis-remembering))
@TucsonSentinel
@hammancheez @Jedigirl I just could not agree more. I feel the same way. I was expecting this, however. I've learned, a long long time ago, not to have any hope when it comes to these matters.

Last toot on this shit I promise (kinda)
All the people saying fox viewers wouldn’t believe it if they had to air an apology miss the point by a mile.
I want Carlson and Hannity and Ingraham and the rest to be forced to say “I lied”
I want the words like ash in their mouths
I want the twisted facial expressions of impotent rage
I want them humiliated and helplessly angry
And I want the gifs on repeat till the end of the internet
@davep Oh yeah, I definitely remember those.
@davep Oh yeah. Those were the days. Remember smoking on a plane? I do. 🤣 Smoking on trains too. It was kind of insane when you think about everywhere we could actually smoke. And think about this: People used to smoke in the waiting room in hospitals. 🤣 I mean, c'mon!
BREAKING: Congress just reintroduced the dangerous #EarnItAct, an internet surveillance bill that makes all of us less safe by attacking online encryption. We’ve killed this bill 💀twice 💀, and we’re going to do it again at https://www.noearnitact.org/
Now, here’s a refresher:

Let's see: I've lived in 9 US states (Mass, NY, Pennsylvania, Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland, California, Arizona, Vermont) and England, Belgium, France, Israel, and Japan.
I used to be a news photographer in Washington DC during the Clinton years. I've worked for Congressional Quarterly, UPI, Scripps Howard News Service.
Now I live again in Paris.
