Trying out Fedica...it's pretty nice. Helpful to see the char limits for Bluesky, Mastodon, & Threads all in line, easy access to content warnings for platforms that use them, supports threading. There's a post scheduler (for when you finally read that article everyone must read at 2am...)

I was prepared for disaster, but the Netchoice decision is good. It rejects the broadest arguments made by the states and the platforms. It recognizes that platforms are ‘editors’ but dismisses the argument that regulation in this sphere is categorically unconstitutional.

I uploaded my own book manuscript to chatGPT bc I wanted to do some summarization work. I was surprised (and somewhat dismayed) to find it still hallucinated repeatedly when asked to confine itself to material from a directly-uploaded PDF.

Labeling: still not censorship. Someone go tell Shellenberger. Platforms have a First Amendment right to moderate. Someone let Taibbi know. We waste so much time on performative bullshit.

At water park with the kids. Tried to take a family photo. Oldest kept accidentally blinking, so I tried to get them to take one more and the 3yo balled up her fists and deliberately closed her eyes and smirked for the next 3 minutes straight. Frameable.

I don’t love the headline - we absolutely can fight back for 2024! - but this is a good summary connecting the dots between Murthy v Missouri and the extended Congressional harassment campaign by the Weaponization committee targeting academics and election officials.

There’s a saying attributed to Ronald Reagan: “if you’re explaining, you’re losing.” You’re reactive, not setting the terms of the conversation. The Gish Galloper isn’t looking to win on factual merit. It’s a performance! The conviction sells it.

Biden did objectively awful. But what I was most struck by was how, again, a centrist candidate (and a media moderator) didn’t know how to respond to a barrage of bad faith bullshit in the moment. You’d think by now they’d have developed a strategy.

He starts to explain. And he often looks like he’s rambling as he tries to rebut all the claims, getting in weeds to lay out facts. This strategy was on display tonight during the Presidential debate.

There’s a debate strategy often used by pseudoscience peddlers known as the Gish Gallop. The debater throws out a barrage of false claims, one after another, far too many for the opponent to ever actually refute them all. The opponent stalls as he tries to figure out what to respond to first.

The harassment that has been simultaneously underway in the parallel civil suit to Murthy in the same court, by the same plaintiffs should result in sanctions. The effect of this nefarious and targeted litigation on these researchers and research in this field generally has been the real censorship

This stuff is so transparently spam, incl using celebrity names as hashtags, garbage domains, fake locations and addresses… no Made with AI label (not that it’s needed in some of these cases but it’s showing up on edited photos…). Just a baffling call by Meta to curate this into the feed.

This is the asymmetry of passion in action...factionalists enthusiastially brigade their enemies while it's v hard to get normal ppl to counterspeak or act They see this as an existential war. Their heroes told them I’m a villain- this gives them a chance to be part of the fight to take me down.

I don’t think a person named “Brian Chan” exists, I never “worked closely” with the FBI, never wrote anything about “real censorship of 1st amendment rights”… The true believers are *so invested* at this point. This was reverted after I posted it to Threads & I’m appreciative of ppl who helped.
