Reminder that Mahmoud Khalil is still being deported for his 1A protected speech.

As the UN General Assembly opens with flags, speeches, and talk of rights and democracy, a quiet coup unfolds — not in parliaments, but in the invisible infrastructure of the internet, writes Konstantinos Komaitis. Digital rights and free expression are under attack — who will defend them?

@joncallas.bsky.social recently shared a sharp insight that made me stop and think: "A stopped clock is correct twice a day, and a clock running backwards is correct four times a day."

I listen to most audio at 3-4x; it's just about input. When I want to enjoy something, I listen at 1x speed. When I really like something—e.g., the recent Scaling Laws podcast with @pamelasamuelson.bsky.social in my feed or @ifbookspod.bsky.social or @sirenspod.bsky.social—I listen twice.

Next time someone suggests that online platforms should be licensed remember that, in the pantheon of laws touching on freedom of expression, broadcast licensing has always been the exception not the rule - and a dangerous one at that. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Judge Merryday has no fucks left to give for Trump's defamation complaint against the NYT: "As every lawyer knows (or is presumed to know), a complaint isn't a public forum for vituperation & invective—not a protected platform to rage against an adversary" storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Besides the effects on the tech industry, right now there are H-1B holders—people—who built a life in the US. If they are traveling, they have 17 hours to get back to the US, or the life they built will be shattered and taken from them. Can you imagine constantly living with this uncertainty?

Wow. Florida judge makes quick work of the Trump lawsuit against the NYTimes and Penguin Random House. The lawsuit was silly and Judge Merryday does not hide how he feels about it! Trump can amend though. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Hey @nytimes.com, do you have literally *any* First Amendment experts on staff, because this is embarrassing. Glad you're speaking up about this, but feels like you should... not make basic mistakes like this? cc: @kenwhite.bsky.social

Government officials do not get to decide that your rights have become inconvenient or problematic. They are your rights. They are not privileges provided by the government and revocable at will.

This is a point I think worth emphasizing: The content of a performance from a musical theory perspective may be quite different from First Amendment content. The court must stick to key legal rules (e.g. volume is not content). But this causes the court to run into musical trouble.

Fun fact: If you threaten to declare an emergency because someone isn't doing what you want, that's not an emergency. It's just a tantrum.

This time of year Sunday is for football.

1. Family time (my baby only gonna be a baby once). 2. Minimize time online during Sunday talk shows (featuring shameless propagandists). 3. Workout time. 4. Neighbor/friend time. In the end, you gotta build a community you can rely on.

How do you mentally make the most of your Sundays? (Whatever that means to you)
