Michael Shellenberger, the “CBR Chair of Politics, Censorship, and Free Speech” at the University of Austin, has spent several years now trying to get academics whose speech he doesn’t like fired by lying about them… These are lying hypocrites pursuing political power — not 1A champions. RE:

Ppl could just wait 48 hours for his friends and family to say what “he got more political” means Other profiles and discord chats and whatever will prob drop. Instead ppl pick 2 bits of evidence - a t-shirt, a Halloween costume, a meme on a bullet - and decide THEY KNOW. They don’t, yet. RE:

Maybe if you’re 40 lol. Ask a middle school boy in your life what his favorite brainrot is. Things ppl in their 40s think of as “00s chan culture” are integrated in youth gaming culture at this point. The kids don’t know the etymology, which can be jarring. But memes for 🎃 are not weird to them. RE:

Things are pretty early but — Tyler Robinson, the guy arrested for the Charlie Kirk murder, doesn’t scream “extremely online nihilist” either. Going as a meme for Halloween is not weird. Irony culture isn’t always nihilistic. The need to have an immediate answer is a side effect of social media.
Bolsonaro was just found guilty. 🇧🇷 On Tuesday we dropped a Lawfare Daily episode: a 101 explainer on the trial, the Trump tariffs, and the intersection with tech policy. Hear from [@laismartins.com](

The content moderation screeching from House Republicans has always been the most transparent, opportunistic power game. After two years it is maybe, finally becoming clear; FIRE and others responded to this pretty instantaneously. RE:

What happened today is awful. People who fight against gun violence, people who loathe what Charlie Kirk stood for, must also condemn political violence. It’s a vicious cycle. This is a very dangerous moment.
