Just blocked another crew of people who interpreted this as if I was saying "comply with fascists." Which, fucking obviously, I'm not saying. But let's spell it out: DON'T POST ABOUT YOUR SILLY MURDER FANTASIES IN MY MENTIONS. Didn't think that was such a wildly crazy thing to say. RE:

Wrote about Kristi Noem's claims about habeas corpus, and how it's likely the result of a MAGA-pickled brain, who associates habeas corpus with the opposite of what it is, because of how much time the admin is spending trying to ignore habeas corpus. RE:

Big news! I know a ton of work went into this, and some legacy copyright interests worked very, very hard to kill it over and over again, fearing that it might, somewhere, highlight that copyright law is supposed to promote the public's benefit. RE:

Ok, well, let's throw this into the pile of things you don't need to do. If you're filing a pro se amicus brief, you don't need to tell the media that they are now "on record" or that your amicus brief is something magical. You don't have to make a "formal notification." Just... don't. https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:cak4klqoj3bqgk5rj6b4f5do&cid=bafkreiaw7b5qqyplycmcrcxsnvukwvslmi73femhxiye4bw2prfjyhs43m
