“For months, Supreme Court Justice #ClarenceThomas and his allies have defended Thomas’ practice of not disclosing free luxury travel by saying the trips fell under a carve-out to the federal disclosure law for government officials.
But by not publicly reporting his trips to the Bohemian Grove and to a 2018 Koch network event, Thomas appears to have violated the disclosure law, even by his own permissive interpretation of it”

Mastodon FeedI hate the naming scheme of movies and video games these days. It's supposed to be "Forza 8", not "Forza Motorsport" for god's sake. That's already a video game from 2005 🙄

Our town is trying to move its confederate monument, but our state passed a law in 2020 attempting to make that moot, and so I'm working up a poster idea. #SurroundItInALandscapeOfThorns #ThisIsNotAPlaceOfHonor

- A black and white poster with an obelisk monument to confederate soldiers starkly in the center. Text: This is not a place of honor. No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here. What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours. A government study proposed these words of warning for long-term nuclear waste storage. If Georgia's OCGA 50-3-1(b)7 prohibits relocating this confederate monument without reducing its prominence and visibility, we should similarly treat it as dangerous leftover toxic waste. (remote)

Did you know @igalia is a cooperative? If you've ever wondered about how that works, my colleague Valerie Young gave a great talk at FOSSY (and organized the breakout session!) which breaks it all down. Great talk!

I just realized that `let _ = ...` and `let _foo = ...` behave differently in #rust.
The former drops the value immediately while the latter drops it at the end of the scope. This almost never matters due to the borrow checker but this was resulting in my tracing context being broken because I was calling `let _ = span.enter()` and the guard was being dropped right away.
