'Massive Legal Siege' Against Social Media Companies Looms Thousands of plaintiffs' complaints, millions of pages of internal documents and transcripts of countless hours of depositions are about to land in US

The Infinite Scroll has to be one of the most harmful inventions ever made, especially when included in a "free" product.

Why This Nineties High School Punk Band Is Suddenly Bigger Than Ever Everyone Asked About You broke up and went about their lives. Nearly three decades later, they're touring the U.S. thanks to some Japanese fans unearthing their old teenage music.

What a great read on this Sunday morning. "Archival culture" is apparently a thing, and now that I think about it, might explain why my son asked me to find (and revive) his old point-and-shoot camera a few months ago.

I love and hate this at the same time —

Three teams in the AL Central (Tigers:26; Guardians:23; Royals:23) currently have more total wins than the first placed team in each of the AL East (Yankees:21) and AL West (Seattle:22).

Trump says talking to Fed boss Powell is like ‘talking to a wall’ in latest attack Attack comes day after Federal Reserve announced it won’t be lowering interest rates

“…Trump…offered his latest sharp criticism of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, complaining during an Oval Office press conference…that dealing with the central banker is like ‘talking to a wall.’”

Good. That’s exactly how it’s supposed to work.

A Rush to Sovereign Journalism by @matt A Daystream journal

A Rush to Sovereign Journalism, my Daystream journal for Sunday, May 4, 2025

A casual, Sunday morning review of some news, including a great Rush-related article, AI, copyright law, hypercapitalism, and, of course, the 22nd Amendment.

Crazy first period in Toronto. Fun to watch when I don't care who wins.

Yet another perfectly symbolic ending to this season.

I can hear Ross Perot now....

Works for young lawyers and legal briefs, too.

Journalism facing Sovereignty and Publisher in the slop. I may be hallucinating.

Hail, Hail to the Good Times by @matt A Daystream journal

I've been thinking quite a bit about AC/DC since the concert in Detroit last week. They're one of my favorite bands and have come to symbolize a few things for me. I finally had a chance to write about that this morning.

Ride On....

Fenway Park under Fair Sun by @matt A Daystream journal

I have no Daystream journal for yesterday to post here.

Each morning, I look back on a somewhat random journal from the past.

This morning, I looked back on this great day….

Uncertain Sycophant-y Strategery by @matt A Daystream journal

Uncertain Sycophant-y Strategery, my Daystream journal for yesterday, April 29th, 2025

- 🤷‍♂️ Bessent on Trump’s strategy of ‘strategic uncertainty’
- 🚫 Amazon yes/no on tariff costs
- 💪 Long live RSS
- 🚙📸 BGSU move out begins
- 🔙 ChatGPT sucks up and rolls back

daystream.com/matt/2025/04...

Pierre Poilievre’s failure once again proves that you can’t win an election if you have an alliterative name. No one wants their country being run by a Stan Lee character

I'd love to see RSS restored to its former glory all around the web, but, realizing that likely won't happen, adding it to Bluesky would be a very satisfying consolation prize.

Lawyer for MyPillow Founder Filed AI-Generated Brief with 'Nearly 30' Bogus Citations For Mike Lindell's legal defense, his attorney sought help from an unusual (and unreliable) source: a chatbot.

Look at that, the clown hired a clown lawyer.

We need the best educated workforce in the world.

We need the best teachers in the world.

We need to pay our teachers fairly for the important work they do.

No teacher in America should begin at less than $60,000 a year.

Lol.
I've lived this!

When the moment came, Harvard didn’t hedge or flinch—it stood up. A reminder that integrity isn’t complicated, it’s just rare.

Btw, I'm already thinking about how the Browns win the draft in tonight's second round. There's some great talent on the board and we've got #1 and #4! Could they get Sanders AND Henderson?
