In 2022 SCOTUS ruled 6-3 that public school teachers & other staff can lead students in prayer.

Now Louisiana will require all schools that receive public funding to display the Ten Commandments, including colleges and universities.

If it’s prayer these guys want, if you’re a public school teacher who wants to learn the Islamic call to prayer, i.e. the Adhaan, to teach your students, let me know.🙃

@QasimRashid First Commandment prohibits idolatry, but the school day begins with flag worship. There’s a certain irony there (which tends to completely escape these folks)

This is brilliant. And tragic.

@Gargron One of those rare cases where I don't know what's going on, and I don't need to in order to strongly agree!

Spotify destroyed artists' incomes.

If we commodify books in the same way, we will bankrupt authors. And 99% make next to nothing as it is.

Just join your local library, folks. Don't ask for new ways for creators to get screwed.

@Daojoan Didn't Spotify do this with Spotify Premium audiobooks, at least for smaller publishers? (From what I've read, bigger publishers have negotiated a 'per book' price, but smaller ones just get pooled revenue.)

Interesting article from @harrisonstephen about a new Wikipedia fork dedicated to highways.
