    The New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, CNN and Associated Press have all posted guides to using Mastodon, which in turn have been syndicated by numerous local news outlets. That matters. We&amp;#39;re rapidly approaching a situation where the media will refer to things happening &amp;quot;on Mastodon&amp;quot; the way they referred to Twitter in, say, 2013.

    I&amp;#39;m not sure how many of my followers live in New York or pay close attention to NY state politics, but everyone can enter City &amp;amp; State NY&amp;#39;s 2023 state budget pool. Just guess the exact date and time that the New York state Legislature will finally pass its budget – which was technically due last Friday but still isn&amp;#39;t done yet. https://www.cityandstateny.com/personality/2023/03/guess-when-new-york-will-have-budget-some-sweet-csny-swag/384701/

    Just got back from the Society of Professional Journalists Region 1 Conference, where I was on a panel about the effects AI-based tools may have on journalism. Also got a chance to meet US Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, who told me that he’d like to reform the Supreme Court but Congress doesn’t have the votes to impeach Justice Clarence Thomas.

    New York state could soon pass a “child harassment” law that would criminalize annoying people under 18 and taking photographs of them without consent — even in public! I wrote for City &amp;amp; State about why First Amendment advocates and public defenders oppose the bill: https://www.cityandstateny.com/policy/2023/05/emma-stone-backed-child-harassment-bill-sparks-first-amendment-youth-incarceration-concerns/386308/
