Easiest $230 I’ve ever spent. Mike’s basically an uncredited coauthor on my 2012 law review piece covering ACTA and SOPA/PIPA. He helped shape my worldview *and* gave me one of my first platforms to write about copyright law. My admiration for him has only grown since then. Fight the good fight. ✊🏻

Calling the right "weird" wasn't axed by the party because it was "too mean" or it didn't work. It was axed because nobody was getting paid for coming up with it.

The correct response to a bully is "Fuck you, no"

Appeasement never works
Columbia completely caved and are getting their accreditation pulled anyways. Anybody that doesn't go nuclear on these people when they even sniff at you is nuts.

On May 2, 🇺🇦 GUR’s Group 13 made history — for the first time ever, a fighter jet was destroyed by a naval drone. A Russian Su-30 hit by a Magura V5 exploded mid-air near Novorossiysk and sank to the depths. $50M down to Neptune.

This tariff fiasco is crazy on so many levels. So @hankgreen.bsky.social decided to rank them.

waste, fraud and abuse are such deeply perverted rallying cries for an industry that's spent a quarter trillion on a technology that bakes the earth to convert oceans of water into wikipedia that can kill you
I have as much experience in Silicon Valley as Andreesen has with higher ed, so I'm just going to start asserting that every tech company is riddled with fraud and abuse and waste and needs to be destroyed because I say so.

Wow, it's fun to spout ignorance! I can see the appeal.
