@marick i was a fan of NCSA, mosaic, the webserver, back in the day. hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu. i never met any of them, but i used to chat sometimes over Twitter with Marc before he turned quite as weird and brittle as, at least from my perspective, he has now become. (our conversations were always cordial, but first whatever reason he blocked me years ago.) i’m glad Eric is perhaps less brittle.
if they’re together in a room and Kamala Harris laughs one of her famous, from the belly, laughs, and then Vladimir Putin simply bursts like a helium balloon pierced by a bright pin, I fear it might become a diplomatic incident.

@admitsWrongIfProven@qoto.org @Stoned_Deva_ hi!
Elizabeth Warren has introduced a bill to chip away at a small piece of the mountain of damage the Supreme Court did this term. The bill would codify Chevron deference as Congress’ intent, that is that Courts should defer to correctly adopted rules by executive agencies where those rules represent a reasonable if contestable interpretation of the means intended by the statute they are enforcing. https://sensiblesafeguards.org/press/senators-should-support-bill-to-codify-chevron-deference-modernize-rulemaking/ ht @danielahanley
if Trump refuses to debate Kamala, then I have the perfect new MAGA hat design.

@djc yeah, i agree, they are fine. it’s lots of commentators who have been a bit half cocked.
first thing through my head is those fuckers are going to plan an “october surprise”. ht @elionwy@mstdn.social https://journa.host/@w7voa/112831672262491479
i feel like the Silicon Valley Superbaby has already been invented and perhaps too widely deployed.

Some investors are also eager early customers, and their children have already started to arrive.
