The judge has declined Justin Sun's motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against Bloomberg, finding that Sun failed to establish that his case is likely to succeed on the merits or that he will suffer irreparable harm without preliminary relief.

New from me @prospect.org: the collusion between lawmakers, regulators and executives was out in the open at Anthony Scaramucci’s unhinged crypto conference in Wyoming last month.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH

my media diet is already made up almost entirely of independent journalists, writers, podcasters and video folks, all of whom are the best at what they do on the planet they also all spend their entire lives, like we do, begging for money

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Excellent @stephenharrison.com piece about Wikipedia, breaking news, and the right wing outrage machine that's kicked into high gear around articles about Charlie Kirk and the killing of Iryna Zarutska. slate.com/technology/2...

Mainstream institutions, including some of the biggest news outlets, have rushed to sacrifice their journalists and the meaning of words like "debate" to placate the people behind clickbait YouTube videos with titles about woke libs and Karens spitfirenews.com/p/mainstream...

this joke broke containment and now i have a bunch of right-wingers gleefully informing me they've already called my boss and celebrating my firing weirdly enough i haven’t gotten a single phone call!

her only reference to Kirk was a direct quote in which he directly claimed minority women are inferior fuck bezos and the rest of the authoritarian-simping brunchlords

Now I am being silenced by the Washington Post for -- *checks notes* Lamenting America's acceptance of apathy towards political violence and gun deaths-- especially when the violence is encouraged and carried out by white men.

Ashley Rindsberg and Fox News are furious at Wikipedia editors for “attacking” Charlie Kirk by... listing the viewpoints he prominently and publicly advocated

Names include international students, lecturers and part-time faculty, Judith Butler says: “The consequences of this compliance could be terrible for a lot of people’s lives, most of whom are much more vulnerable than I am. They can suffer deportation, expulsion, job loss, harassment, surveillance"

Interestingly, as Bloomberg's response letter points out, Sun's declaration in support of his motion is the same one as from the voluntarily dismissed motion last month. Literally dated Aug. 11. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Justin Sun has hired Baker & Hostetler lawyer Teresa Goody Guillén to represent him in his lawsuit against Bloomberg. Goody Guillén has previously represented the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial, and she has lobbied for a presidential pardon for Binance’s Changpeng Zhao.

Bloomberg has responded to Justin Sun’s renewed motion for a temporary restraining order. “This is a case involving a crypto billionaire who is upset because a news report said he had more of a certain cryptocurrency than he wanted the public to know.”

Crypto billionaire Sun’s renewed motion for a temporary restraining order in his lawsuit against Bloomberg seems to confirm my view that the lawsuit was sparked by the disclosure that he controls 63% of the supply of TRX, the token issued by his Tron company.

If you ever wondered why some Wikipedia articles are titled "murder of ____" and others "killing of ____":

it's like when you miss a cool number on the odometer 1,111,092 more to go, i guess!

great advice going around for turning off autoplay videos but might i suggest

Something I wish journalists understood better: anyone can nominate an article for deletion on Wikipedia, which kicks off a week-long discussion — even if the article is perfectly acceptable and will ultimately be kept. This does not mean "Wikipedia is trying to delete X!!"
