    Thank you for hashtagging #UKpol so that I can remain endlessly amused by another country&amp;#39;s batshit politics 🇬🇧🫡

    @annmlipton Lol, sometimes I think &amp;quot;defend the state&amp;#39;s honor&amp;quot; is the primary reason most gov attorneys file anything in court. It would sure explain a lot of otherwise inexplicable legal battles!

    @weirdwriter At the very least, it seems to me that website authoring tools and social media apps should be able to read that field to provide people with a starting point for writing alt text! I mean, sure, alt text typically needs some customization to match the intent/purpose of the image in context, but at least using that field as a start would make it much easier to customize.

    @JamesLonghurst@historians.social It&amp;#39;s OK. The documentary camera crew that accompanied them carried extra water for everyone.

    For those who have been following the issue, the Columbia Law Review website is now back online again—and it includes the controversial article by Eghbariah along with the following statement from the non-student Board of Directors after their attempts to get the student editors of the student-run law review to change their minds apparently failed: https://www.columbialawreview.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/STATEMENT-FROM-THE-CLR-BOARD-OF-DIRECTORS.pdf #law #scholarship #Columbia #ColumbiaLaw

    Maybe every Supreme Court justice should be forced listen to the deep shade thrown by actual lawyers (and, for wanna-be Originalists, actual historians) on here before they sign off on publishing any opinions #SCOTUS #law #USpol

    Noticing even more lately how often women authors show the women in their books—even the kick-ass ones with swords—are guided, pushed, elbows gripped, men’s hands on backs. Rarely is this made a point of; usually it’s just routine &amp;amp; unremarkable. Says something anyway about gender &amp;amp; autonomy tho.

    In an effort to preserve what little effectiveness I might retain, I&amp;#39;ve been spending significant time updating my muted words list. (Tbf, a little machine learning sprinkled into mutes would actually be appreciated and even be what I&amp;#39;d consider an actually appropriate use of &amp;quot;AI.&amp;quot;)

    I get why two-factor auth is so in vogue, but GAH! I&amp;#39;ve been locked out/delayed from accessing so many accounts through the vagaries of 2FA, not to mention how much trouble it has given me to help non-tech people sort this stuff out. Are we sure this is the best we can do?

    I hate that ugh-so-noisy big politics overwhelms individual and person-level talk on so many online networks these day. How tf do we get some more regular convos so we can get the connections we need to actually deal with big politics?
