Just incredible watching this (are Fox viewers really as gullible as Noem and Waters clearly think they are?)

Stack Overflow announced that they are partnering with OpenAI, so I tried to delete my highest-rated answers.

Stack Overflow does not let you delete questions that have accepted answers and many upvotes because it would remove knowledge from the community.

So instead I changed my highest-rated answers to a protest message.

Within an hour mods had changed the questions back and suspended my account for 7 days.

Diff view of a stack overflow question showing it being changed from the original text to a protest message, then being changed back again by a mod. Protest text reads: Why does OpenAI get to profit from our work? I have removed this question in protest of Stack Overflow's decision to partner with OpenAI. This move steals the labour of everyone who contributed to Stack Overflow with no way to opt-out. OpenAI has a history of flooding the web with inaccurate information and have explicitly stated that they will never pay creators for their work.

Judge Merchan: “I’ll find you in criminal contempt for the tenth time. It appears that the $1,000 fines are not serving as a deterrent. Therefore, going forward, this court will have to consider a jail sanction. Mr. Trump, it’s important to understand the last thing I was to do is put you in jail. You are the former president of the United States, and possibly the next one as well.”

I would like an app that shows nothing but Community Notes from Twitter, it would be entertaining.

“For the purposes of this column, let’s set aside questions of the merits of the protests and the various police and administration responses to them. It’s incredibly obvious—to me, at least—that pretty much all of the relevant parties here got rolled by the American right.”

Upon finding out 99% of NYU protesters were indeed students, Republican Councilwoman Vickie Paladino decided they all have to die.

It feels like Democrats should stop helping these people in their war on students and higher education?

via Tyler McBrien - In his decision, Merchan dismantles Trump's argument that reposts don't violate the gag order: "There can be no doubt whatsoever, that [Trump's] intent and purpose when reposting is to communicate to his audience that he endorses and adopts the posted statement as his own"

Lordy, there are texts.
There’s not a lot of legal theory here.
There’s a lot of “one weird trick to steal an election” though.

If SCOTUS remands the J6 case back to Chutkin to figure out what acts were official vs personal based on whatever Bizarro logic they come up with, she should just turned around and schedule a VERY in depth fact finding trial on that point, going into excruciating detail on exactly what Trump did and when and why. This fall. Very fucking publicly.

4 years ago today, Trump threatened to cut off federal funding for blue states amid a deadly and worsening pandemic because their governors dared criticize him 👇

The worst part is finding out that the radical right wingers on the Court have quite obviously lost the plot.

“The Biden team has been criticized by some members of the Washington press corps for how few interviews the president has participated in with legacy outlets such as The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.”

“Legacy Outlets” 😂😘

Justice delayed — which is guaranteed by the SCOTUS actions and has no legitimate basis given the questions today — is justice denied.

What good are justices that deny justice?

I mean, what?

“the newspaper carries its own singular obsession with the president, aggrieved over his refusal to give the paper a sit-down interview that Publisher AG Sulzberger and other top editors believe to be its birthright”

Today, Donald Trump's friends on the Supreme Court will listen to his lawyers explain why presidents should be allowed to commit crimes.

There's one thing we know for sure about this year: The courts aren't going to save us from the leader of the GOP. It's up to us to do the organizing work to stop Trump and preserve our democracy.
