Once again, I was left to wonder: was Pete Hegseth signal chatting military attack plans to everyone but me?? Am I the one that’s insecure, or is it his communication practices that are insecure?

So whatever Elon has done with his latest tampering with Xitter DMs RESTORED DMs that I deleted, which seems to be a clearcut violation of GDPR.

Believing that America can or must be good does not require one to believe that America is or was good or that Americans are more important than anyone else in the world. I don't know who it serves to insist otherwise.

Reminds me of all the Republicans in Congress who celebrated the Fourth of July in Moscow. Except they were there to celebrate Putin and never updated their plaques. Chris Van Hollen traveled to save a constituent. These assholes won’t even show up at a townhall in their district

I know the church no longer excommunicates people for much but maybe we could have a little excommunication as a treat?

Lmao

Missoula, Montana showed up strong today—proving that even in Big Sky Country, the love of democracy runs deep. Flags waving, voices raised, and boots on the ground against tyranny. When Montana rises, America listens.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Keep shining, Missoula—we’re with you all the way!

Weather hasn’t been good for star photos lately, so instead you can have an article about how the tariffs will eviscerate access to astronomy for people who can’t afford multi-thousand dollar telescopes. www.astronomy.com/observing/am...

A short article of mine on civil-military relations and democratic backsliding had been accepted for publication in the journal "Connections". Then I received an email that the editors can't publish the paper unless I "remove the case study/examples of the United States" (1/x) #CivMilSky

special consideration awarded to oathbreaker thom tillis here, who sold out hegseth's former sister-in-law after promising her that her accusations would be heard and taken seriously

I’d say patents but we have plenty of conferences for that already. So instead I think it’d just be looking at some things in the sky. Planes, stars, galaxies, kites. Let’s hang out and look up.

Broke: violating the Appointments Clause because Musk hasn't been appointed. Woke: violating the Appointments Clause because Musk isn't the president to do the appointing.

Funny thing - if the entirety of the executive power belongs to the president, so does the responsibility for every action it takes.

this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness

Federal Circuit, in a precedential decision, holds a set of machine learning patents invalid under § 101 as directed to the abstract idea of using machine learning in a particular environment. “Do it, but with AI” patents are a thing people will try to get. Fortunately CAFC is rejecting them.

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law

everyone signing on to be a part of the new HBO Max Harry Potter series is endorsing this and should be treated accordingly

The Schedule A phenomenon seems worth digging into a little bit for anyone who wants to know what these "no fault injunction" site-blocking bills like FADPA could look like. As with Schedule A, the bad process will enable bad substance; innocent sites will get blocked.

I’m sorry, but this woman is absolutely poisonous and cruel and I cannot *stand* her or her attacks on trans people. You should feel about her IP like you do about Tesla. This is appalling.

This is yet another important thread in my anti-"this is pointless" cause (bsky.app/profile/chri...).

Here is a letter from NYU Law faculty opposing the Trump Administration's unlawful attacks on universities, law firms, and the rule of law. Please share widely. drive.google.com/file/d/1yysJ...

I’ve lived in a relatively developed country that also lacked basic food regulation (China) and you get sick on a very regular basis.

People want institutions to stand up www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Remember, institutions, the answer to “get rid of diversity, equity, and inclusion” is “fuck you, make me.”

Of course they did: "USPTO formally terminates Climate Change Mitigation Pilot Program"...(it was supposed to end in 2027). This was a program designed to expedite examination of patent applications directed to mitigating climate change.
