Thanks Meta, you’ve now ruined Instagram. I am one of the unfortunate people with the new layout and it sucks and apparently there is no way to change back. If I wanted TikTok I’d be on that.

I'm not saying something that people don't already know. But it's worth making the issue explicit. We have an elaborate jurisprudence of probable cause, rooted in explicit strictures in the constitution that places big limits on what police can do to you. Those limits may be honored in the breach...
