“I think a full investigation would show that Trump didn’t actually win the election in 2016. He lost the election, and he was put into office because the Russians interfered on his behalf,” the former president, who served between 1977 and 1981, said at a panel hosted by the Carter Center in Leesburg, Va.

#JustFinished The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity by David Graeber and David Wengrow.

This was a great book! Graeber and Wengrow integrate new archeological discoveries with anthropology and turn common belief on its side. In the same way that we used to think that evolution was a progressive march to new and improved species, we also thought that human development was on an upward arc to better things, with capitalism and

The #Fediverse Report by @laurenshof is a great resource to keep up with how social media is changing.

What I especially like compared to more mainstream coverage is how Laurens keeps track of less "shiny" projects. Those are a fertile ground for new innovations.

Can Supreme Court justices be criminally indicted? Asking for 80M+ friends.

#SCOTUS #SupremeCorruption #SupremeCourt

Honestly, the Supreme Court justices today sounded even more deranged and clueless than I even expected. They are just too worried about hypothetical future presidents to focus on the fact that we have a former president indicted for attempting to overthrow an election who is now running for reelection on an explicitly authoritarian, anti-democracy platform. 1/ #LawFedi

It is evident from today's Supreme Court argument that several Justices have entirely abandoned any interest in the rule of law even in the face of the Trump-led insurrection.

The Court had an opportunity to restore its credibility by demonstrating, as it did fifty years ago in US v Nixon, that it stood unanimously behind the rule of law regardless of party loyalty. Instead, it seems poised to demonstrate the opposite: that it is dominated by political hacks.

Okay... I have a stupid question to ask #writers before I go to bed and regret it. I'm tired. I'm a little stoned. I've just crawled into my cozy little burrow and am so ready to go to sleep... but I just had a thought. A thought that might evolve into something actually worth writing about. But I'm in bed! It's chilly out of the bed! And I'm very tired. Do I, a sleep deprived, anxious wage-slave choose to either:

A) Stay up until three in the morning typing out this thought

B) Write down prompt to try to expand on it tomorrow (fruitless)

or

C) Just say "fuck it," and turn in for the night?

I'm trying to decide if Medium is still a viable place to grow my audience. Lately when I click on people's links I'm being taken to paywall pages (must be a member to read, not just logged in with my account), and I want to be sure I can set my material to be as widely read as possible.

But I know personally I'm starting to hesitate because it feels very pay walled.

I have two existing blogs there that have been dormant for a while.

i love to watch a 3d printer. If i was trying to rob a bank and there was a 3d printer making something next to the vault i would probably fail to rob the bank. I don't know if the 3d printer would really be required for that to happen but i can't see another outcome if a 3d printer gets involved.

Net neutrality means that ISPs don’t get to speed up or slow down your web traffic based on what site you’re visiting. The FCC understood this in 2015, yet left the door open for the creation of fast lanes in their new rules. Tell them to fix this mistake. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/04/fcc-must-clarify-its-rules-prevent-loopholes-will-swallow-net-neutrality-whole
