@gshans.bsky.social, I, and some other great lawyers (including our pro bono team at @willkiefarr.bsky.social), spent our holiday break writing an amicus brief, trying to warn the Court about the serious First Amendment problems with the divest-or-ban law--issues which have continued to fester...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — TikTok signs deal to sell US unit to American investors, including Oracle, Silver Lake.
Reminding everyone for no particular reason that Section 230 is one of the last things standing between free speech online and Trump having control over everything you see and say on the internet

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.

Us: Across your entire career?

Reiner: In a 6 year period.

Us: That sounds-

Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.
