Now that I've gotten to enjoy my first true brain disconnect in at least 4-5 years... Everyone know I love a good reprise (2014 Tweezerfest at Meriweather Post Pavilion, I mean come on), so I am thrilled to finally announce that I'm reprising my role as Free Speech Counsel at @techfreedom.org.

Sorry rejecting the memeform premise. This is the only right answer.

What would the Internet be without a random person telling an expertt they are wrong in their field.

People on this profoundly silly website being all aggro because you didn't pay immediate enough attention to their demand for your time will always be a good reminder that some people were raised by wild raccoons.

Ok but hear me out: no you fucking don't. Good thing this only pops up on the mobile app, but what a fucking disappointment.

Comparisons of Big Tech to Big Tobacco are misplaced in several ways. But one that is somewhat overlooked is that the mess that is modern tobacco control actually shows that it's the last thing you should want to try to replicate. I did a deep dive in 2024: techfreedom.substack.com/p/regulating...

We're about to find out that her partner covers himself with mahjong tiles and pretends to be an alligator on onlyfans or something

There's an awful lot of denial on the part of certain people that anything bad could ever happen again once their agenda was implemented. Just an endless, unbroken, succession of benevolent philosopher kings till the end of time.

And this is the same retort of people who don't understand that the people use when they don't understand that giving the government power to restrict speech they don't like invariably gives it the power to restrict speech they do like.

Before you are tempted to use "the Constitution isn't a suicide pact" ever again to justify whatever restrictions or government power you are after, think about what that argument enables.

The latest issue of Notice and Takedown is out. In this one: - The recent social media lawsuit verdicts (incl. a thoughtful thread from @lizardky.bsky.social) - What are you doing Joseph Gordon-Levitt? - Clown Carr Unloads at CPAC and more! platformpolemics.aricohn.com/p/notice-and...

Because when has a government obtaining lists of Jews ever gone wrong 🙄

"fuck this guy let's make him leave the site bc we're too fuckin lazy to read an entire thread" aka the bluesky special

Once again seeking a rich benefactor who will pay for me to buy property in various communities and absolutely terrorize the HOA before destroying it from the inside.

This is an absolute *masterclass* in how to use chatbot discovery effectively. Every young lawyer (and probably law student) should read it. Bravo, @remygreen.bsky.social

This is just so wild lol

Imagine accusing someone else of being an obnoxious diuchebag lol

That sounds kind of like a tacit admission that "platform design and safety" is vibes-based pseudoscience

Section 230 was based on the exact opposite understanding: that online services are not, and should not be forced to be "neutral channels"

Imagine denying that you are stoking moral panic while saying this.

Good bassline AND Pussy Riot

I was already pretty much all the way radicalized to this position, but hearing someone else say it pushed me over the edge

We simply must improve civics education in this country. Yes, the purpose of the First Amendment is to protect speech from state action based on your moral judgments. That's...the whole point.

Lol I would bet so much money that this person lecturing a lawyer in their area of expertise is an engineer. It's almost clichel.

Fact check: the First Amendment protects even non-political speech.

One more time for the people in the back: "It's about design features, not speech" is an artificial distinction and cynical sleight of hand, just like when Texas argued that it could regulate content moderation because it is "conduct, not speech." www.fire.org/news/big-tec...

Jalen Rose: "Houston is undefeated when its opponents score under 67 points (lol). Illinois only scored 24 points in the first half, does that spell trouble even though Houston only scored 22?" Illinois: **is undefeated when when their opponents score less than 74** 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Who would have thought that paying the extortionist doesn't actually buy you protection? Other than literally everyone, that is.

Lol my browser alone often uses double the amount of your installed RAM. Tell me more about pushing your system. cc @masnick.com

I strongly encourage people like this to continue doing exactly what they're doing. Nowhere else could you could pay less than $3,900 for 800sq ft & $4,200/mo for daycare, especially across the street from a huge park and walking distance to world-class museums. Please stay in NYC. Forever.

No domestic flights are 10 hours long. You know what that means... Quick, cut off whatever finding there is left keeping airports operating.

I keep getting emails about Drupal, and I have no idea what that is but I am choosing to believe it's when RuPaul is in drag and then decides to be a drag king on top of it.

To be fair, as best I recall the MPRE did not cover shooting deponents... lawandcrime.com/lawsuit/i-do...

I can't help but expect that the Project Hail Mary movie is going to be an enormous disappointment.

I mean you don't need Grammarly at all. It's not that difficult to learn how to write at a high school level.

He couldn't even be bothered to buy them good shoes made in the United States. Instead he bought them a tacky, poorly-dressed rich asshole's idea of what a good dress shoe is.

I can't believe I have to say this in this, the year of our eternal damnation Two Thousand and Twenty-Six, but: Unless you have built a FULL-FUNCTIONED mobile app, *do not* have the app take over all links from your domain. It's shitty UI/UX, and just fucking stupid.
