Matt Taibbi incessantly posting about his *very serious and not frivolous* lawsuit against @eoinhiggins.bsky.social over art on his book cover should tell you how nonsense his claims are. If he had a good lawyer and a real case, he’d know its “shut the hell up” o’clock until the matter resolves.

You would believe from reading this Matt Taibbi tweet that @eoinhiggins.bsky.social’s book is about him or that it names him on the cover. No.
The book spends more time on Glenn Greenwald. The cover suggests a general phenomenon in our culture — that everyone online has seen.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

If Taibbi's defamation theory is correct, Goldman could have sued Taibbi because Goldman Sachs is not literally a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity.
