This made me laugh out loud while reheating my leftovers for lunch.

Look, even academics cite the wrong papers sometimes, but if the researchers you cite to support your crime bill don’t actually support your crime bill, that should be a warning…

Musk’s pettiness knows no bounds.

We live in a dumb timeline. Why are we turning TVs into surveillance machines?

Look, I’ve never been really into Reddit, but I’m still really disappointed in the company. This sucks.

I’ve never voted for Michael Adams, but I appreciate his being a voice of reason within his own party.

I recently started following The Onion again, and it’s already paying off.

C’mon, Reddit.

On peut pleurer la mort de quelqu’un sans oublier ses problèmes. Je ne savais pas tout cela, et j’avoue que je vois Navalny différemment maintenant. C’est toujours quelqu’un qui a mené une lutte importante, mais on ne peut pas ignorer ces propos non plus.

Very interesting case.

Depressing but important read.

Look, it’s hard to oppose legislation that purports to be “for the kids,” but with the EFF, Mike Masnick, and other voices I respect still firmly against this, I’ll be calling my reps—and encouraging others to do the same.

Russia is in the wrong in this conflict, but that also means that Russians are among those being wronged.

You know, instead of assuming that we must grow AI data centers and asking how we should power them, we could look at the costs in terms of power and ask whether we should grow AI data centers.

Heck yes.

Hmm. Unsurprising but all the more frustrating for it.

Fascinating read on web crawlers and robots.txt

Good article on some dumb fearmongering.

Masnick’s perspectives on free speech are always helpful.

Domain name infrastructure plays a bigger role than we might think.

I bought this book with a gift card and to thumb my nose at an obnoxious visiting authority at a Latter-day Saint stake conference from over four years ago. This guy spent the Saturday evening session of the conference complaining about young adults who supported gay marriage and parents who pushed back against school discipline instead of giving their kids a whuppin’ (his words, not mine) and then still had the gall to talk about how great Mormonism is because it doesn’t believe in a fire and brimstone angry God.

Wondering how long it will be until implicit praise of her family values gets taken down from the LDS and BYU websites.

Bookmarking for later reference. I get that there are some complicated factors at play here, but this still seems wrong to me.

Hate to see Swift taking a page out of Musk’s book here.

Fascinating post. Grateful for Doctorow’s honesty at his being scammed and interested in the idea that lowering quality of services through AI trains us to accept fraud.
