Former Anti-Abortion Leader Alleges Another Supreme Court Breach

Years before the leaked draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, a landmark contraception ruling was disclosed, according to a minister who led a secretive effort to influence justices.

I know... this all goes back to the Reagan Era, but never this bad. Judges of the Supreme court MUST be held to the standards other judges are in regards to recusing themselves from cases that they have a personal interest or connection to. That is the Minimum that needs to be put in place.

Book Review: Be Creative: Making A Living in the New Culture Industries by Angela McRobbie

In Chapter Two, ‘Unpacking the Politics of Creative Labour’, McRobbie examines conceptually the idea of creativity by dissecting ‘the romance of being creative’ as a new form of governmentality; or, how young creative professionals believe in passion and happiness in the workplace as compensation for precarious jobs. In the current labour market, for example, the role of unions is diminished and has been replaced by skills of ‘self-management’ to achieve success in an uncertain market of creative labour; this entrepreneurial or start-up mentality is part of the professionalisation of being creative and a marker of middle-class status. This chapter is key to understanding McRobbie’s perspective on the ideological role of creativity in the changes to the cultural economy in the UK since the late 1990s.

What I find most hopeful & intriguing about this moment is the potential to be intentional about scales of communication — to celebrate something other than celebrity academia, to recognize the challenge & value of curating small conversation, to be skeptical of calls to “change the world.”

Thanks. So basically if you join an instance not listed on the main website as an “approved” or “blessed” one you’re taking your chances? That’s important to stress for new users especially given the massive Twitter influx.

@Friendica Support I want to delete a post which was accidentially saved to a folder. How to do it? Only thing I see is a pop-up saying that I will be deleting the post, but no button or anything else to be clicked. See screenshots: #1 Firefox on Android, #2 Firefox on Windows.

@ITMC GmbH To remove a post from its saved folder, you need to open its conversation page. Meaning from the Saved Folder search, you have to tap/click “View in context” or the equivalent in German (probably “Im Zusammenhang betrachten”). In this context the Saved Folder name will appear as a label below the post body, alongside a cross icon. Tap/click the cross icon to remove the post from the Saved Folder.

@Hypolite Petovan Thanks a lot. Told the user and it worked. But this process isn't very intuitiv, isn't it? Suggestion: Clarify, what "View in context" means. I.e.: "For any action on this post view it context." with "view it in context being the link as it is right now.

What part of your culture would you take to space? For astronaut John Herrington, the first Native American in space, it was a traditional Chickasaw Nation flute. Herrington’s missions took him from the top of the world to under the sea. More: go.nasa.gov/3V6aZrA #NAHM

After astronaut Pete Conrad stuck the landing of the Apollo 12 Lunar Module #OTD in 1969, mere feet from Surveyor 3, his 1st word as he became the 3rd person to step on the Moon was "Whoopee!" He was so excited, he accidentally pointed his camera at the Sun, frying its circuits!

Almost 180k new users joined #mastodon yesterday, a new record. This third #twitterMigration wave happened after Musk's Twitter 2.0 ultimatum to #Twitter workers. Each wave is stronger than the previous one. Here is my updated plot showing the three consecutive waves.
The plot shows the graph of the number of new users in the Mastodon platform as a function of the date for the last months. It can be seen that until Musk's purchase was completed, the daily new users were about one thousand. It jumped to twenty-five thousand during the first migration to Mastodon, just after the Musk's purchase of Twitter was completed on October 27. A second jump to 100k new users per day happened in the second wave, just after the massive layoffs in Twitter on Nov 4th. Finally the third jump to almost 150k per day happened after Musk's Twitter 2.0 ultimatum on Nov 17th.
