Like @mmasnick.bsky.social, I also said Breton's letter to Elon was extraordinarily stupid, and had very different views on how to handle antivax propaganda than CCDH. But that was CCDH's speech. The censorship is the state action happening now.

Opinion | Marco Rubio is using real censorship to fight fake censorship
Mike Masnick: In the name of protecting free speech, the U.S. government just banned five Europeans from entering the country because it doesn’t like their speech.

I can't really gloat over this one, because this is exactly the tragedy we were trying to avoid, and WHY we were angry at the people shilling this garbage... but, like, we *did* tell them. We told them over and over. And they didn't believe us.

I think Taibbi claiming he lost money on the Twitter Files is the most embarrassing of all possible outcomes for him. Because then he has no excuse other than he chose to simp for a multibillionaire. Like, oh, buddy you *chose* this?

I just wish the modern astrologists actually bothered to base their predictions on the actual positions of the stars. What do you mean you use hundreds of year old charts that are no longer up to date? The astrologers of old are turning in their grave.

A type of practice that I find interesting historically is the rigorously untrue. Astrology, for instance, was often a very tightly defined practice with a seriously requirement of learning: it just wasn’t actually real.

This isn't a "you have to learn the rules before you can break them" thing. It's a "making yourself out to be some kind of edgy rebel while unwittingly replicating all the flaws of the very thing you claim to be rebelling against makes you look like a dumbass" thing.

I'm mentioning this b/c the folks who hatched the grand theocratic plot to overthrow American pluralist democracy were smart & sophisticated. That's why it's so astonishing that the people they've picked to push the project across the finish line are such blathering idiots.

Avatar just generally exists in the space franchise movies existed in pre-internet: Most people just go see the movies when they come out, and a handful of diehards dig into lore stuff in their own isolated corner of the world. It's not _that_ dissimilar from Star Wars in the '80s.
