Texas has the strongest stand your ground laws in the country. Perry’s stand your ground defense failed. That should tell you something.

Even the courts in Texas did not believe that this was self-defense. The jury unanimously did not believe it was self-defense. In spite of that Abbott immediately says he is going to pardon the guy. In other words, in Abbott’s Texas and other Republican states, kill a protester and get out of jail free. That's what he's encouraging.

I don’t think any amount of testing would satisfy this judge. By the time it was approved in the US, it already had more safety data backing it than most else the FDA approves.

The Republicans on the SCOTUS made a radical judgement, and were either ignorant to the extent it would cause chaos in American life or they knew full well and support it.

Hope someone’s learned something.

If you’re concerned about @GregAbbott_TX’s intent to seek pardon of a murderer who not only thought it was ok to kill a protester — but actually planned it — you need to read this from Austin’s own local alternative paper, @AustinChronicle.

Recently, I uploaded a video from Bell Laboratories, Inc. featuring the first example of synthesized computer speech. Regrettably, this was the first upload of mine to receive a copyright violation. However, this was not due to the content of the record itself, but rather due to someone who had sampled parts of the record and used them in their own song. As far as I understood, YouTube's copyright and content ID match requires original creations that do not contain samples from another recording.

I conducted research to determine who now owned all of Bell Labs' patents and copyrights and discovered that it was Nokia. I was able to submit a form for licensing requests via their website and explained the nature of my channel and the copyright problem I had encountered while trying to showcase their record on YouTube.

To my pleasant surprise, Nokia was incredibly accommodating and granted me a no-charge lifetime license, on the condition that I add the message "Courtesy of Nokia Corporation and AT&T Archives" to the video, which I was more than willing to do.

Unfortunately, this process required me to edit the video and re-upload it. However, it is now up once again, and the copyright has been filed with the claimant, including all details of the license I received from Nokia.

A little-known fact about Mastodon is that when you move your account, it gets put on a truck and then shipped to the new server. Here, for instance, are users employing I-195 to move between servers.

So the Gov of Texas states he's going to pardon a murderer.. because said murderer killed a BLM protester. A murderer who bragged on social media before committing the murder about how much he wanted to kill protesters. Fuck the GQP.

Fuck the so-called party of "law and order" and "social responsibility". The scariest part is that those on the right could actually obtain control over the federal government. It is the duty of every American citizen to ensure that those people don't get in charge ever again.

If you support the those on the right, you're part of the problem too!

i believe in the Users.

i believe in the Grid.

i believe that in there, in the Digital Frontier, is our destiny.

i believe that corporations, brands, and politicians have no place there.

i believe queer folk, trans people, internet weirdos and techies lay proper claim to the Grid, as we were its earliest natives.

i believe in our ability to use the digital world to improve the real world, and vice versa.

i believe in spite of it all. tell me why i should panic about the latest crisis and i will believe twice as hard.

we are the ones we have been waiting for.

I wasn't expecting a sign to fedi in real life.
