Gee. Why would Judge Cannon want to block Jack Smith's report about Trump's classified documents retention? It's a real head scratcher... View quoted note →

And even if you want to argue there was something legitimate to be said, there were much, much better ways to say it, as I also wrote about: www.techdirt.com/2020/07/10/w... What That Harper's Letter Abou...

Hilarious. Michael Shellenberger, who has spent years spewing made up nonsense about a "censorship industrial complex" involving close ties between gov't & industry to "censor" speech is out there running cover for Bari Weiss censoring speech on behalf of the gov't. https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:cak4klqoj3bqgk5rj6b4f5do&cid=bafkreihzfucs2qwfua7yyc7a76exsfd7qagxz2pz6b5plo62t5wft42pvu https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:cak4klqoj3bqgk5rj6b4f5do&cid=bafkreigdhgd3gdzelgmxfjilbrkdnrotgtg4kgjavcr7jjidnrmtuqdyre

So much hilarity here. Shellenberger has a job at Weiss' collapsing "UATX" (unclear if that's disclosed in his article). Also he doesn't link to his article because he likely knows that his benefactor Musk punishes links. As for "unsupported allegations of censorship" that's Shell's entire oeuvre

This year for Chanukah I decided to see if I could capture decent photos of candles burning out, and as if to help me out on the final night the shamash decided to collapse in a wax blob, giving me a very fun shot as it went out. A few other photos as well... https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:cak4klqoj3bqgk5rj6b4f5do&cid=bafkreigdeufgyfec5xcm2ikdlgtirn4th4kt6a47g3diywwvswg2ymuyxe https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:cak4klqoj3bqgk5rj6b4f5do&cid=bafkreic53xkpydieqbmvvkyrnzeicgvvu7lecnbmbpsfa5umzt7cb67vri https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:cak4klqoj3bqgk5rj6b4f5do&cid=bafkreid6di6he6a27jbyf4wdvwbbj4s73qiznnmo2jvk36a5gdkkzxhmcy

Almost every story Weiss greenlit at the Free Press lacked sufficient context. It's kinda their entire schtick. https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:cak4klqoj3bqgk5rj6b4f5do&cid=bafkreihy4hjcatmuoo2qmoz7pkpk446qwusivj4q7fcmgfabcnztjeb5hq

Reminder: our Techdirt fundraiser is going on right now. Unlike some, we won't pull, or even water down, the stories we write about CECOT. View quoted note →
