@jwz I'd love to see both bits of information! But like… they're very different bits of information

@glyph Yeah I think so

@jwz I know I've been seeing it a lot more after a relatively recent update. My suspicion is that it only used to mean one of these things — probably "truncated" — and recently came to mean the other?

A new federal bill would wipe out dozens, if not hundreds, of existing state privacy protections. It’s hard to take seriously. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/05/secure-data-act-not-serious-piece-privacy-legislation

Republicans in Tennessee are trying to quickly redraw voting maps to carve up the state’s only majority-Black congressional seat. Despite significant public backlash, they may approve these racist redistricting maps as soon as today. Indivisibles and people across TN are mobilizing to the state capitol this morning.

I do not like that the "Read more >" link on the Mastodon web interface means two different things and you can't tell them apart:

• This post was more than 500 characters and has been truncated;

• There are replies in the thread.

One of these I care about a lot, the other not so much.

3.5 million pages. 17,000 pounds of DOJ Epstein files. Full timeline of their 20-year Palm Beach/Mar-a-Lago bromance.

Chief Justice John Roberts on how the American people view the Supreme Court:

“I think they view us as truly political actors, which I don’t think is an accurate understanding of what we do. I would say that’s the main difficulty.”

sorry, no. the main difficulty is how you act.

In the UK, “wind and solar have generated more electricity than fossil fuels for a record 15 months in a row. […] this included a full winter season for the first time in 2025-26.

Yes, that’s right, renewables work in the UK in the winter.

Nobody cared about my little tool for 4 years. But published it on a git forge, and two days later got 5 (five) feature requests[1]. No, not pull requests, *feature* requests. Someone decided to graciously enlighten me what I should spend my time on next.

And sure, they mostly look reasonable. That's not the point. I just keep being amazed about the completely broken contribution "culture" that's grown out of GitHub.

If you’re trans & born before 2000, when asked who you are you can legit answer:

“Do not ask me for a single title, I have crossed millennia under different names and worn more than one form besides. Revered by some and feared by many, I have seen the fall of nations and am remembered differently in each age that survives me.”

Something very nice: Alabaster Dawn opens with a dialogue explaining that they would like to use analytics to help find Early Access bugs, and that asks your permission to collect and send telemetry. If you say yes, it pops up a "thank you" dialogue box.

Feels a lot less exploitative when there's a clear request, when consent is respected, and when they acknowledge what you're doing.

“To refuse is a creative act. What is created in a refusal is a gap, a space, a moment in which something else makes ready to emerge, something that waits upon our invitation and a bit of water or sunlight to pop itself out and set down roots. To refuse is to create that which can only exist in the shade of that refusal, the refusal giving shelter to the choice that appears behind it. *To refuse is to choose.*”

It is very possible some of you haven’t read @aworkinglibrary before. Her latest essay—on war, on work, on refusal—is possibly the best opportunity to remedy that: https://aworkinglibrary.com/writing/into-the-gap

Hmm, one of my students found a message in a bottle from 1964 out wedged in rocks on Channel Islands National Park. Now with the appropriate authorities (considered a historical artifact). If anyone knows Becki Walters, formerly of Canoga Park, daughter of Roy A. Walters (Becki is now probably 77 and living in Tucson, Arizona as Becky Higgenbottom), give me a DM. #mystery #history

I’m going to suggest that the Flanagan campaign get on Mastodon or another Fedi server ASAP and participate in our community. I believe any progressive Democratic should. If Flanagan’s campaign does, and _only_ if it does, I will spearhead Fedi-for-Flanagan fundraising. This would be a chance for Flanagan - and the progressive Democratic electeds who back her - to learn the significance of our community. 5/
