Back to back days on the Supreme Court:

  1. No, Harvard (a private institution) may not admit people based on their institutional choices.

  2. Yes, private businesses can discriminate at will.

What explains this? “Originalism.”

Texas will require parental consent for kids to use social media

The Texas social media law takes effect September 1.

@arstechnica Is this going to apply to Mastodon? I don't see how the Masodon "company" could comply with any of this in a federated network. If each instance moderator has to do all of this, then that's the end of Mastodon in Texas.

Jazztodon artist of the week: Scott Joplin! How would jazz have been different without his early influence of syncopation, fusion of classical forms and piano techniques with the dance music of the day, and his proto-swing? Plus, top-quality regtime is just beautiful and entertaining music by any standard. Here's one of his gorgeous pieces that you may not have heard, "Solace."
