It’s been a year to the day we bought (and then didn’t, for reasons we still don’t fully know) InfoWars. We’re still trying. In the year since, we built The Onion into one of the biggest newspapers in the United States. I’m so proud of this place. I’m proud we do hard stuff. Thank you for caring.

This is a damn shame to see. @brianhofer.bsky.social has been such a driving force not just in keeping this city on track and protecting its citizens' privacy, but in creating a standard for the rest of the country. Thanks for all you've done, Brian.

2 Oakland privacy commissioners resign: ‘I felt like nothing I was doing mattered’
Brian Hofer and Sean Everhart don’t think the city is doing enough to ensure residents’ privacy rights and protect itself from lawsuits.

I have my negative opinions about the Bsky moderation team as a queer person but come on, threats of death are serious and allowing them, even if it's a stupid reference, isn't a smart idea because people WILL use it as a loophole.

So I can't blame them for putting their foot down on this

In CIPA news, Rodriguez v. Culligan is a fun new case out of S.D. Cal holding that A) as in Popa v. Microsoft, invasion of privacy alone doesn't create standing under Spokeo, there needs to be a harm; and B) internet users have no expectation of privacy in.......

One of the 2 guys responsible for this mass death wants a peace prize and the other wants $1trillion to be a bad CEO.

Oh. Speaking of art. If you’re in Oakland (or near thereabouts), I’m having an art reception thing tomorrow evening. Come by and say hi. There will be snacks and wine and whatnot.

I suck at self-promotion, so…here, have a flyer.

When people talk about the excesses of MeToo, they have to lie, because the reality is that there was no massive social reckoning forcing people to believe survivors or hold perpetrators accountable. In fact, there has been a significant backsliding and new punishments in rejection of MeToo

RESULT: Californians have approved Prop 50. The ballot measure permits the state to adopt a Democratic gerrymander in response to a wave of redistricting in red states this year.

From Evan: it's a huge night of hope for the trans community. The Republicans went all in on anti-trans ads in multiple races and so far there's no sign it got them anything.

Perhaps the page can be turned on blaming us for Harris' loss last year.
