Let’s just see how things are going for Trump’s lawyers today…. Oof. Walked into that one.

Research into effective ways to clean indoor air is an excellent outcome and I hope it’s not too late for the next pandemic that also spreads through the air.

Noem: “I’ve given you my answer. No, and that's not the answer. I would say that, you know, I would say that, you know, this is something that I asked to have adjusted, and have the content and that name removed and that is — that is truly what the action has been.”

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.”

“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.
