Yep there’s no legal justification here. Either we have laws or we don’t.

ah yes, the best way to explain and understand the world is by ignoring experts and practitioners and turning our attention to the “average American,” whatever that means
This isn't about democratizing the news. It's about elevating "vibes" and "feelings" to be on par with lived experience and subject-matter expertise.

Elon Musk’s Twitter feed is now almost entirely dedicated to destroying faith in 🇺🇸 government (to keep his taxes low) and fearmongering about (non-white) immigrants, and he just amplified a call to execute Governor Walz to his 230 million followers.

it's incredibly unfortunate that we have the most pro-rape administration in history right as technology gets really good at automating sexual harassment
there are existing laws on the books for this sort of thing but the chances that the feds actually go after xAI for it are zero percent

I don't care where he (it's definitely a guy) lives but I do think he should be dragged before Congress and made to testify under oath about the white nationalist influences that clearly show through in his "work"
The cool thing is that you can FOIA the names of the Nazi pricks who are running the DHS Twitter account, and then from there it's pretty trivial to find out every single thing about him, including where he lives

Yeah specifically for @jamellebouie.net since you might be able to highlight this to people who care, he's an active duty Army officer who has been posting like this for months; the Army hasn't done anything about it because he was specifically requested by Pete Hegseth to work in the Pentagon

2) Apple in China, Patrick McGee. If I had to nominate a book of the year, this is it. It is a perfect capture of the story of corporate capture in the PRC. Apple leadership often comes off looking worse than the CCP leadership. Everyone should read this, at least as a cautionary tale.
