Louisiana HB 777 Would Criminalize Librarians and Libraries Who Join the American Library Association
Louisiana Library workers or libraries who seek membership in the largest professional organization would be criminalized for doing so.Kelly Jensen (BOOK RIOT)
A bill in Louisiana, HB 777, would make it a crime for librarians to use public funds to join the American Librarian Association or attend an ALA conference, punishable with prison time and hard labor for up to two years.

Hello fedi. i am trying to solve the "fetch all replies" problem once and for all that makes the fedi feel a lot more desolate and with a lot more reply guys in it than it should be. this is take two, where before i had it triggered by a button, but now i think it should happen on the server-side whenever you expand a post. can anyone help me out figure out how to make this more efficient by only fetching posts that the server doesn't already have? i am not sure what the best strategy would be, and if anyone with experience doing efficient rails and SQL stuff could give me some pointers that would be gr8. the patch is actually extremely simple it just needs a few nice things to make it not DDoS everyone.

Born in 1750, Caroline Herschel worked as assistant to her astronomer brother William. But she also made her own discoveries of nebulae, stars & 8(!) comets.
In 1787, King George III employed Caroline as her brother's assistant, including a small salary that made her one of the first women paid for their contributions to #science.
Caroline submitted over 550 stars to the existing star catalog & received honorary membership in the Royal Society. space.com/17439-caroline-hersc… #history

In which @ntnsndr, in conversation with David Bollier – overcast.fm/+YVzymNQfY – does that thing where someone points out a dynamic that should be obvious, but it needs that someone to point it out to you:
Namely, that the client-server model of online infrastructure is inherently antithetical to democratic governance.
In our online lives, “we are in some sense being trained *out of* the democratic practices that have been so essential to practices of political democracies”

Some people on Kauai just paid $40k for annual leases of dilapidated cabins up in Waimea Canyon. It's a special place but these cabins are in terrible shape. They're up near 4000 feet elevation, so a good place to escape the heat in the summer, but...that's a lot of cheddar.

Scientists have caught a once-in-a-billion-years evolutionary event in progress, as two lifeforms have merged into one organism that boasts abilities its peers would envy. Last time this happened, Earth got plants. The #algae Braarudosphaera bigelowii has been found to have absorbed a #cyanobacteria called UCYN-A, which may be a huge step forward for #evolution.
