Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct?
Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

Replace "good" with "American" and you got a slogan.
And I think liberals should stop taking the bait and ceding ground on immigration.
Immigration is good. Multiculturalism is good. Free trade is good. Stop being embarrassed to say so.

Tried to take a nap, instead kept having a dream where I was in a strange city, trying to find my AirBNB, and I couldn't. There was also a tornado, and I couldn't get my phone unlocked to take a picture.
May be a little anxious about going back to work?

Spent 3-4 hours working on the piles of downed limbs from the storm last(?) week. Completely filled three green bins, cut up 5 or 6 branches into firework-sized pieces, and made a pile of future firewood.
Sawing wood by hand: kinda satisfying, but also gotdam...

Interesting realization from this @joshtpm.bsky.social piece on GenAI/LLMs — it's not just a bubble in an economic sense, it's a bubble in the perception sense too, because life in tech right not does not reflect the poll results John cites.

Love being told by a bunch of white nerds that Black people didn't exist in nerd spaces but knowing that Uhura is the reason my mom spent 20 years in the Air Force as we watched AWLL the Star Trek flicks even while overseas (yes, even the 'bad ones').

I kinda miss multiplayer games that were aggressive with banning bad actors for a few hours or days. Time outs do work on adults and I think people need more of them

1. didnt undersrand why someone would buy something with an evil inscription on it
2. He decided it’d be fitting to to use it as ash tray

I picture Tolkien, looking down from his heavenly afterlife, shouting "What the actual fuck is wrong with you arseholes"
Sauron is appearing on the scene as concerns rise about crime among the most wealthy.

I loathe snow, but I did always secretly enjoy the shoveling of the snow.
Shoveling snow rules. You’re outside getting exercise, you get to listen to podcasts or music, and best of all, you’re making the world more accessible. It’s an act of self-care and civic care. I enjoyed it when I lived at my parents’ house, and I still do!

Trump uses the artist’s work—like other cultural icons—to promote Gestapo tactics and nativist ideas.

One of the most incredible shots I've ever gotten, in Yellowstone. This coyote walked over a ridge in the blowing snow and posed for me, with a small grin on its face, the snowfalkes like stars in the background.
The desolation and beauty of life and nature is grounding, and so good for the soul.
