Okay, I wrote about how both VP candidates last night showed they didn't actually understand how the First Amendment works, and why that's a problem. [www.techdirt.com/2024/10/02/o...]( ) [On Fires, Theaters, And Censor...]( )

If you're interested in what's going on with Bluesky, @npub1vf5t...mxg8's latest Dot Social podcast has an interview with @Jay 🦋. Very much worth listening to! [dot-social.simplecast.com/episodes/jay...]( ) [dot-social.simplecast.com/episodes/jay-g...]( )
The Quiet Posters feed is one I keep recommending to people as an example of how *this place is different* in ways that are good. RE: View quoted note →

No idea who created it, but here's David Attenborough narrating the "evolutionary disadvantaged" Cybertruck. https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:cak4klqoj3bqgk5rj6b4f5do&cid=bafkreibkitqm7dbfl3mhvqft7bjui45j5it4o2ibleq2tyhsy7dndimwzi
JD Vance is threatening to cut off NATO because Thierry Breton sent a stupid letter which DID NOT threaten to arrest Musk, but was very stupid.
