"The judge upbraided the Meta team and said if you guys have recorded anything, you have to dispose of it or I will hold you in contempt," Jacob Ward, a technology journalist and the host of the Rip Current Podcast, told CBS News, calling the incident "an extraordinary misstep" by Meta.

Seems counterproductive for a university system to announce to the world, "you should assume our graduates are thin-skinned ignorant losers who can't handle hearing anything except what they want to hear" but that's what UT's board of regents just unanimously approved. 🤷♂️

University of Texas regents OK limits on controversial subjects
Opponents warned the policy’s vagueness could push professors to self-censor and leave students less prepared for the workplace.

A liberal majority (and it is coming) could and should be the turning point when even the most crackpoted of crackpot Conservative MP's have finally have had enough of Pierre Poilievre, muttering under their breath 'He's the guy making us look like f*cking idiots for choosing him as leader.'
The Conservative MP, who was granted anonymity to share their concerns freely, likened Poilievre’s predicament to his predecessor Erin O’Toole, who was ousted as leader in a caucus vote in early 2022.
