The proper response to this as a journalist is "well no matter how you feel about the judge, until you win an appeal it is a valid order, and violating it is a crime punishable by prison. Did you knowingly violate the order?"

This is astonishingly awful, and I can't imagine who, actually seeing/hearing the results, would imagine it was going to be acceptable to an audience.
This feels like an invitation to start making fandubs, and bypassing official releases entirely: surely not the intended end result?

You know that thing about "Do not comply in advance?" It applies to giving up and accepting your Cuomos and Newsoms as the best we can do because Dem consultants say so.
We may have to vote for less-awful candidates in the end, but God, you can't expect people to pretend to be happy about it.

No news to the sf/fantasy community, where the idea of the internet as an otherworld (or many otherworlds) has been floating around since the days of GEnie. But a lovely piece nevertheless, and interesting to see it go mainstream.
Both beautiful and terrifying, Katya’s sublime essay in yesterday’s New York Times is a piece of writing that needs to be read (at least) twice: once for its insights, once for the pleasure of its precise, lyrical prose. Gift link:

Yeah, this. I don't want or need a new phone. See also my toaster oven, my microwave, my car. I'm not hoarding them, I'm using them.
If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.

If you refuse to help kids in situations like this, you can't punish them when they resort to proportionate self-help. That's how the Playground Rules are supposed to work.
If you don't think the tacit rules of engagement should apply the same way to girls as to boys, you're part of the problem.

This is rape culture.
This is why so many people don’t come forward.
A young girl was being bullied at school by a boy who made AI generated nudes of her.
She told the principal. She told the guidance counsellor. They didn’t stop it.
Finally she hit the boy responsible, and SHE got expelled:
