Dude, I don't lose any credibility by stating the truth. The contention was there were active programs to make chemical and nuclear weapons and depots ready to use or be handed over to Al Qaeda. None of that was found. It was all fake

The U.S. didn't launch a war over whether there were some leftovers from the war vs Iran. It was about ongoing programs, including a whole bunch of horse droppings about yellowcake uranium enrichment. Pedantically saying but there we

They had jack. Zero. Nada. It was ginned up BS that led to the worst foreign policy blunder in 100 years, directly creating ISIS, deaths of 500k Iraqis and kicking off the migrant crisis.

Yes, actually it was. Go actually read the lawsuit. It sought to ban federal agencies across the board, including CISA, from communicating at all with social platforms. Gateway Pundit was one of the plaintiffs and he sued because Twitter ba

Just for the future reader: The court threw this out on the very reasonable grounds that the rightwing grievers who filed suit had no standing because NONE of them could show that Biden officials had anything to do with them getting kicked

Flagging content that's against terms of service, foreign interference or illegal (like voting by text scams) is hardly coercion. The Supreme Court threw out the case. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c100l6j

Lol. The Biden administration who simply asked platforms to enforce their own terms of service? Maybe you're better example is the Trump administration saying it's going to withhold transportation funding from cities because citiz

If you want indie publications to survive, please reconsider punishing sites that are sign-up walled.

Yup, John saw that grift coming. I'm till wondering where the millions of dollars in crypto donated to WikiLeaks disappeared to. The last financial accounting from wikileaks was in something like 2011.

Acting DC AG Martin has a history of sockpuppetry. Bought a sycophant a laptop and then ghostwrote Facebook posts attacking a judge in a case against Martin. Should have been disbarred. https://www.propublica.org/article&#x2

Interesting but a CRM built by a non-technical person using AI? I think that's pretty irresponsible - building a product that holds PII without any concern for security. Not to mention that's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

This is some high level gaslighting. The AP is the nation's premier news source, it's relied upon by nearly every other news source for coverage. Banning the AP from the White House for not hewing to the WH's ideological garb

And the NYT only published when Risen's book was going to come out, meaning the reporting that they paid for was going to get published in a book and embarrass the hell out of them

R.I.P. He was a true and brave whistleblower. I had the luck of getting a hold of his docs when they were under court seal, and we published them at Wired. Only met and interviewed him later. He was a gentle man with a moral compass. A rari

Greenwald was libertarian/right leaning. Went from supporting the Iraq War to being a Ron Paul fanboy to a useful Tankie idiot for the Silicon Valley right. Now a grievance grifter and an apologist for Putin and Assad. Bari Weiss is no

TSA aren't cops. They have no authority to take a weed pen or detain you for having one. They can call cops but they can only confiscate items deemed to be threats to a plane and only detain you for the same.

Language changes. There's been lots of inclusive changes that people have adopted without even knowing. Police officer and firefighter are pretty ingrained now, but those weren't the dominant terms just 30 years ago

This will get you very basic recommendations, which is a nice start. But will be quite limited. But you could, and have been able do this just as easily with compression. Compress A. Measure the file size. Compress B. Measure the file size

Fox News, Twitter and Meta are far worse influences on American society than TikTok. And every big US platform is just a big siphon for the NSA when it comes to non U.S. persons. The stupidity and hypocrisy of this ban and unban is hilariou

I founded and run a SaaS technology company for publishers. I think there's a rich vein here that hasn't really been explored. [Outpost]( https://outpost.pub ) We work with pubs like 404Media and Platformer Incorporated

I want to see a small ISP challenge this. The 6th circuit said ISPS aren't telecoms when knocking down net neutrality. This order is dependent on ISPs on ISPs being telecoms. So is the CALEA spying mandate. Fight this and force the fed

California's net neutrality law is in great shape. It didn't rely on Brand X. New York's broadband affordability law is in good shape too.

No, the feds require CALEA-backdoors. Absent CALEA, a telecom could say we don't have the data or the capability

What a load of horseshit. Yeah, if a nation-state thinks you are a bad enough actor, they might use a high power way to get at you. See Pegasus, for instance But those exploits are rare, expensive and can be blown. No one has ever said Sign
