Any police officer or judge who knows the First Amendment shouldn't have asked for or signed off on the raid on the Marion County Record and the home of owners Eric and Joan Meyer.

But apparently, police don’t always read the law, and judges may need a refresher.

Hi, Mastodon friends,

I've been busy. I decided to turn that long blog post into a free book.

Once I started working with it, I saw a million ways to improve it and make it more readable, so I think it's better.

I had it professionally proofread, copyedited, and fact checked. Any errors are mine because I had to transfer all the marks to the Indesign document.

Anyone wanna advance peek?

I don't know how to put a PDF here, so it's on the blog page:

Security guards who are ignorant of the origin of a picture think it’s supposedly #demonic. And even if it were, how would that hurt someone? It’s not even a provocative or threatening message.

#Chinese #Hackers Used Anthropic's #AI To Automate #Cyberattacks

China's state-sponsored hackers used AI technology from #Anthropic to automate break-ins of major corporations and foreign governments during a September hacking campaign, the company said Thursday.

JD Vance knows that undocumented people aren't buying up all the housing inventory, just like he knows that Haitians aren't eating dogs. He doesn't say these things because he believes them. He says these things to speak to his base.

Some of y'all are trying to engage with his point earnestly.

A 92.5% threshold for flagging means that a little less often than 1 time in 10, the system will wrongly flag a person as suspicious, and it will be up to a staff member to validate.

Please place your bets on the likelihood of someone who probably has a lot of other things to do and isn't paid enough making a correct call.

I don't think lies help a post. The internet was built by the Department of Defense and required a lot of money to access when it was made available to the public; hardly a "tool of freedom".
