I posted two tweets and one retweet today, and now I'm throttled or "rate-limited". I don't even get to see new tweets by other people.
I guess I can't complain if I'm only allowed ten minutes per day on the bird site.

Not bragging, just stating a fact, almost every http4s release gets new contributors. To my considerations, this highlights a few things:
1. http4s is a nice project to contribute to;
2. the community is marvellous.

“After filing her lawsuits, Ms. Grossberg drip-fed audio recordings… her time at Fox to other media organizations. The recordings showed, among other things, Mr. Carlson’s immense influence on the Republican Party; an admission by Rudolph W. Giuliani, lawyer to former President Donald J. Trump, that he didn’t have evidence of voter fraud; and discussions between Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and Ms. Bartiromo about his attempts to block President Biden’s election victory.”

What's happening with U.S. pharmacies? In recent months, one of my go-to pharmacies got first bought and then closed, bigger stores look desolate, reminding me of late-stage USSR, I can't find some of the over-the-counter drugs anywhere. Is it just a local thing, or has "free market" finished its divorce from reality everywhere?

Yes, in #303Creative, the majority and the dissent are, in a deep sense, talking about about different cases. They have profoundly different conceptions of the nature of the market, of the public sphere, and the role of a democratic state in governing both. 14/14 #LawFedi

The Supreme Court ruling in favor of a bigot who was never even asked to do the thing she’s freaking out about is just the latest example of how successful the extreme far right has been in enshrining their bigotry into law, and an unmistakable announcement of the importance of reforming the court.
