According to a popular myth, the Roman emperor Caligula made his favorite horse, Incitatus, a senator. MAGA made Ron Johnson a senator. The horse was a MUCH better choice! #Wisconsin #Forward #Dumbocracy #ConspiracyTheory #Resistance #U.S.Senate

Reminds me of the time when @biella.bsky.social convinced publisher on releasing her book under CC license – and I hope I quote that right: "A proprietary license for a book on hackers and Open Source culture would be like releasing a book on Buddhism with a leather cover."
