THIS IS NOT A PICTURE OF SERIAL KILLER ED KEMPER!!!!!
He has already taken the country to war.

A blockade is a literal act of war under international law.

It is actually an act of war.

That's why Kennedy called it a "Quarantine" of Cuba during the missile crisis.

Also, if you want to fix the DMCA, take out the anticircumvention provisions first.

HP should not be able to jail me for making 3rd party ink cartridges, and Nest should not be able to brick thermostats without recourse.

I agree with the general sentiment, but I think that the specific order might be wrong. (Also, why leave out Tojo or Hirohito?)

His right to be forgotten allows him to defraud more people.

I think that there should be a statute of limitations on things like Reddit posts (I'm old enough that it was Usenet for me ……… I was such a moron then), but actual news, things like fraud and police brutality?

Those should be forever.

I have liven my entire life so pigeonholed, at least by me. (It's an Jewish thing)

The real life case that I am thinking about was someone who engaged in real estate fraud, and then demanded that the internet be scrubbed of the various lawsuits, etc. so he would go back to working in real estate.

Then you pay for my popcorn and soda when this gets made.

I freely and fully release my idea to the world, even without the popcorn.

I want to see a Muppet "Rocky Horror."
December 10, 2025 at 4:43 AM
He is in 4th grade, like the characters from the Thurber Story, "I Went To Sullivant."

(Some of the characters had repeated 4th grade so many times that their baseball team beat Ohio State)

Don't you dare ask me who James Thurber was.

You have not been following history then.

The US has been meddling in elections and encouraging regime change since 1945.

Think Italy and Greece.

I don't worry about such things.

I got my midlife crisis car in 2010, a 2004 Toyota Prius with 75K on the ODO.

More seriously, it seems that a lot of the right to be forgotten comes from people who object to news archives containing records of their criming.

Mixed emotiions on this. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Are you sure that this is not the @nytpitchbot.bsky.social .

It sure reads like the pitchbot.

Damn you!!!!!

It's my understanding that neither Nuzzi nor Lizza are nepotism hires, though it does appear that they are wipipo affirmative action.
AG "Dash" Sulzberger though………

Perhaps, but other people should be informed by those takes.

BTW, if you look at my BEST takes, I'm a complete prat.

I learned to drive stick on a BMW 1600 with a hair trigger clutch.

Bring it on, baby!

They are lucky I wasn't around.

I wouldn't have stolen it, but a Fiat convertible and a Rush tape would have have had me taking it for a joy ride.

I would have gone to jail, and as I should, but it would be worth it. (I would pay to have it detailed before returning it)

I would argue are so a significant number of economists. (Laffer, Hayek, any economist calling themselves a libertarian ………)
