Protest 3pm today, Boston Park Street Station. This was shared by MA Peace Action, an org I know and trust. There appears to be some pro-Maduro framing here, which I disagree with, but the urgent need to protest the illegal coup outweighs that by far imo.

We cannot let this president drag us into more endless wars that risk the lives of American service members and civilians abroad. The attack last night on Venezuela was unnecessary and unauthorized. The President’s actions are reckless and illegal.

It’s also time to start wondering if some of these reporters are a little cooked by the bots themselves. Reporters aren’t inured to chatbot psychosis. In fact, some of them may have drank too much of the kool aid from sources selling them stuff. We’re in a new world of stupid. Adjust your credulity.

An age-gate-the-Internet law proposed in New Hampshire includes a line, " A commercial entity shall not claim Section 230 immunity [...] as a defense in any civil action arising from a violation of this chapter"... which I'm pretty sure violates the Supremacy Clause?

It's not yet docketed on the SCOTUS website, but here is Dershowitz's cert petition. It looks like they're trying to argue around the incorporation of "actual malice" standard in FL law by saying that CNN omitted statements in a way that adds up to actual malice.

There are plenty of obvious reasons to do this: Nobody under the age of 30 actually uses the site! You're rewarding Elon Musk! But the most important thing is that some politicians and consultants are stewing in bot-driven, expensive Nazi propaganda, and it's giving them really bad, cruel ideas.

I ain't an evolutionary biologist (or a biologist at all), but I listen to biologists and read biologists and pay attention and ... Dawkins is a bigoted turd-fellator who mistakes his own biases for objective science. He is frankly wrong on trans/intersex issues and should shut up forever.
