It turns out, when news outlets actually challenge the Trump administration in court, they win.
After @nytimes.com sued the Pentagon over its ridiculous loyalty pledge, a federal judge struck down the restrictions as violating the First Amendment.
Watch @trevortimm.bsky.social explain.
I've never played this, but I've heard so many good things about this game that I'm positive this would have sold more than whatever the goal set for it was. What a stupid company.
What an insanely inept company. If they had any time of reverence or respect for the PoP brand, they should just give it back to @jmechner.bsky.social
What the fuck
Really disappointed in Libby adding AI to their Library App.
Hopefully there's enough non ai made shit still out there. Feels like everyday it invades more into our lives. Getting tired of trying to boycott everything and not trusting anything made today bc ppl can't put humans and our world above money and bots. I HATE IT HERE.
Can we just jumpcut to the part where the overuse of ai forces us all to reboot and restart as humans just trying to live happy lives with friends and family on Earth? And maybe this time society doesn't engage with ai and money? Thanks. 😮💨
The richest man on earth owns X.
The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.
The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.
See the problem here?
I’m horrified to hear that two people were kidnapped by ICE in Evanston this morning.
There’s a protest at Home Depot shortly. We’ll be delivering water and supplies to protesters — I hope you’ll join us in standing with our community.
This Is Fascism
Censoring the press isn't enough for the Trump administration. Now they're even trying to censor court records that discuss the press's reporting.
This is unheard of.

Want to read the Epstein files? Or important climate reports? You’ll probably need a FOIA office for that.
Use FPF's new tool to help us tell Congress that Trump’s decimation of FOIA offices is unacceptable. Americans deserve access to all their records.

We filed a brief opposing the SEC "gag rule," which bars those who settle with the SEC from talking to reporters to protect the SEC's reputation.
We shouldn't need to say this, but the government doesn't get to censor its critics to make itself look good.
At the end of the day, don’t we all just want to read books in a cottage during a pouring rain in front of a crackling fire whilst enjoying a plate of emotional support cinnamon rolls?
Just a reminder that authoritarians use the vulnerabilities of liberal democracy against itself, including concepts of "free speech" and the "healthy exchange of ideas."
They do not value these things. They are not sincerely held principles. They're cudgels and they will erase them once in power.
I’m. So. Tired.
I don’t just want you to pay attention to Chicago because I want you to understand our plight. I want you to see how hard people are fighting and know wtf you’re made of. We’re not just fighting for this place. This is for all of us.
I think people take for granted the ability to post freely on the internet. Our ability to do so is endangered. Social media isn't going away but the powers that be are hyper focused on making it an echo chamber

Reading book that mentions early detection of COVID-19 in sewage that includes summary of early days of detection, outbreak. Brought me back to those days like a tide and I thought wow, I lived thru that.
And I had this sudden soothing thought:
Someday these days, too, will be in a history book

I've said something like this before, and I'll be mindful of it as it's not intended to dismiss but strengthen - against the pressures of creating for an audience or fear of rejection. Nobody is asking you to be an island, but remember you are feeding yourself first - make what ~you want, not them.🫶
