I seem to recall that it was the biggest 1st Amendment attack in American history when the Biden admin alerted social media companies to some content and said "hey does this violate your policies?" Will Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger and (lol) CBS News Editor in Chief Bari Weiss call this out? https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:cak4klqoj3bqgk5rj6b4f5do&cid=bafkreidj25omq3x4zzibfegs5lxnydgh4eh4pf3nwuz2xgosufvhh6i7pe

I was curious too. So, using The Free Press's journalistic standards, I Googled the phrase "we regret the error" and got back 5 results. 4 (including one by Reingold) are behind a wall. The one I could see is correcting when they called Scott Bessent "Steve."

Was waiting to see how Olivia Reingold (who Oliver's piece destroyed almost as much as Bari Weiss) would respond, and you can see the tweet below which also shows she either did not watch his piece, or just didn't understand it, since he actually addresses this point directly. https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:cak4klqoj3bqgk5rj6b4f5do&cid=bafkreigrsawidovspeo2tj5nlug3ty3zwi7tl5dipby5jagklarq5lneyq
Missed that this went up on YouTube a couple weeks ago, but the [@folcs.bsky.social]( ) / [@92ndstreety.bsky.social]( ) discussion that [@alexabdo.bsky.social]( ), Lee Rowland, and I did regarding online speech is now available: [www.youtube.com/live/8zQg8xC...](https://www.youtube.com/live/8zQg8xCfxiw ) [Shadowbanned & Shut Down: Cens...](https://www.youtube.com/live/8zQg8xCfxiw )
I can feel myself turning to dust just reading this. Not only do I STILL remember a bunch of phone numbers from my childhood, I remember that my Dad would use the *letter* variation for the first two digits, rather than numbers. Our home number started with "AR1" rather than 271. RE:
Finding out Scalzi is a "full-sized candy bar" kind of person is not surprising, but also confirms that he's good people. RE:
Was worried that this was going to be *yet another* of the "people should all go back to Twitter" nonsense pieces, but [@ianbetteridge.com]( )'s law of headlines rarely fails. The answer here is a clear "no" with good reasons: RE: https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:cak4klqoj3bqgk5rj6b4f5do&cid=bafkreibs4rlcuduljvrozwq7efrz4cxkf2o7kaq7g77nzevtl3rfvaevd4 https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:cak4klqoj3bqgk5rj6b4f5do&cid=bafkreihgssoc33jpkg3xs6ywy2ndxnc7qkonrhsaxsayhqj22afhrux5ei View quoted note โ†’
Guessing that the timing of this [@asavage.bsky.social]( ) video about how inflatable costumes are made has more to do with Halloween than the protests that are utilizing them, but fascinating either way: [www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuds...]( ) [Adam Savage Learns How Inflata...]( )
