Declaring a "Freedom Summer" in the same breath as laying out what colors are and are not acceptable for illuminating bridges is so stupidly Orwellian it would be cringey in Orwell fan fiction.

Is the pretext we're supposed to assume that #Florida had previously been living under the non-freedom yoke of #LGBTQ rainbows?

I bet a lot of the people that were screeching that mask mandates in Home Depot during a deadly pandemic before even a vaccine or treatment was available were tyranny are gonna be all for mask bans now.

At any rate, regardless of how anyone feels about the effectiveness of masks, a mask ban with no exceptions for sick people is actually big government stepping on us.

Doctors rail against proposed ban against public masking -

Hear me out: If you are programming something with the intention to evoke a specific feeling or express an idea, you are an artist.

I don't like how programmers are often left outside of creative discussion.

For 2 decades there was not a single art file in dwarf fortress and i will fight whatever who tells me there is not artistic intention there since the beginning.

Programming is a tool. Game programmers use that tool to create... The game.

Making it acceptable to kill someone with different politics is not anything like the rule of law. If you follow this policy to its logical conclusion, it doesn't go anywhere good.

"Currently, experimental studies should not be used to support the conclusion that social media use is associated with mental health. Taken at surface value, mean effect sizes are no different from zero. Put very directly, this undermines causal claims by some scholars (e.g., Haidt, 2020; Twenge, 2020) that reductions in social media time would improve adolescent mental health."

When I talk about digital privacy, there is always some smug genius who shrugs and tells me, "Who cares? We all know we don't have any privacy anyway." Nothing could be more wrong. Convincing you that the fight is already over to the way people in power get you to stop resisting.

A thing I can’t emphasize enough when engineers ask me “is AI scraping fair use” is that it really, really depends (more than it should!) on how judges feel about AI.

Google Book Search: judges love (and can easily comprehend) that → scanning is fair use.
Google AI: ??? → scraping…???

Elon: lol, judges all know he’s a dick → scraping is legal!

It’s #STFUfriday!

When cops ask you questions, ask for a lawyer and then STFU:

• I am not discussing how I’m doing or where I’m going.

• Am I free to leave?

• I am not answering any questions.

• If they ask to search anything: "I do not consent to a search."

• I want to speak to a lawyer.

No thread this week. Just keep it simple. Ask for a lawyer and STFU.

If Trump wins in November and Rs get control of Congress, I would not be shocked if they decided to expand the Supreme Court. Everything Dems are afraid to try because they cling to the delusion that it will make Rs be better, Rs will do without even blinking

This is so demoralizing.

Sha says she has too many unresolved motions, which is entirely a result of her inexplicably dawdling over some motions and entertaining others that were ridiculous and should have been dismissed outright.

I'm proud to be an American. It's often hard and there are sure as hell a lot of problems that need fixing and a lot of valid critiques, but I really do love this country. Sometimes, I think it's important to say that out loud. I love America.
