SCOTUS has declared that one may have as much Free Speech as one can afford. Is the correlary true: one can deny as much Free Speech of others as one can afford? Asking for students at Columbia Univ.

US Court of Appeals for 9th circuit ruled that 5th amendment does not prohibit police from forcing one to unlock one's phone with thumbprint scan. I wonder if that is why my Android phone has a safe mode requiring a PIN.

I apologize in advance. I heard about the Floor Action Response Team. I think a more appropriate name is Select House Action Response Team.

WSJ headline "Why immigration is now the no. 1 issue for voters". Obviously because GOP can't run on economy or abortion. Next.

Saw a NYT opinion article "How A.I. Chatbots Become Political By Zvi Mowshowitz". It is well known that facts have a liberal bias, therefore if A.I. Chatbots only deal in facts, then A.I. Chatbots will have a liberal bias. Hmm, what if the dataset consists of Russian misinformation (lies)? Uh oh.

YouTube now requires creators to label AI-generated content. I wonder how well that will work. I have heard that people use AI to mislead. Does YouTube really expect the creators using AI to mislead will mark their work as AI generated?

President Biden baits Republicans about Social Security. No response. Yes, even Republicans can learn from their mistakes, sometimes. #sotu

I saw a video of a sane Trump voter. What broke my heart is that her reason for support: the memory of how low prices were for her small bus then but did not connect why prices are higher now -- mis-mgmt of COVID by the prev admin and corp greed. When you have to explain the economy you have lost.

SCOTUS decides an oath breaking insurrectionist can stay on the ballot. On the upside, Red States cannot now throw President Biden from the ballot. Got to take the rough with the smooth.

VPN can hide your physical location, allow you pass net firewalls (used for censorship), hide the sites you visit from outside observers, and generally stop direct attacks. VPN cannot protect against stupid. Click a bad link or open an infected doc your system is compromised.

RobPalmerIRL (he/him/his) @RobPalmerIRLIf you can't use a VPN then exercise the safety tips as old as the internet itself. First and foremost, make sure you don't give your info to sketch websites, and also be wary of what you download, and make sure your antivirus/antimalware is up to date and current.01:04 PM - Mar 03, 2024

Each cycle I hear pundits say that voters care more about pocketbook issues then anything else. I call BS. If that were true Dems would never lose an election. Of course that depends on an informed electorate and the GOP has worked hard to make sure we don't have one of those. Change my mind.
01:48 PM - Feb 24, 2024
Hmm, frozen embryos are people. Can the embryo be issued a tax id and be counted as a dependent? What's listed on the birth certificate? Asking for a friend.

I am represented by two Republican Senators with whom I rarely see eye to eye. Today my senior senator voted to support aid to Ukraine saying "This Congress cannot be remembered in history for abandoning Ukraine and emboldening Putin and Communist China." Well said Senator.
02:40 PM - Feb 13, 2024
Senate GOP allowed Ukraine/Israel aid Bill to moved forward if they can later add funding for border restrictions. Huh? GOP HAD a bill with the harshest border restrictions they were going to get out of the Democrats and they voted it down. I missed this on NYT News Quiz; I could not believe it.
05:22 PM - Feb 09, 2024
IMO SCOTUS was looking for a reason, any reason, not to enforce section 3 of the 14th amendment. Much in the same way Sen. McConnell said that the previous president bore full responsibility for the violent events of 1/6 BUT he, Sen. McConnell, was going to do NOTHING about it.
10:46 AM - Feb 09, 2024
I disagree. The GOP presidential front runner is doing his best for the country by draining the Republican war chest and putting the absolutely worst face on Republican policies. Republicans are going down.

how fucked up is this: Donald Trump's tax cuts for the obscenely wealthy are responsible for a QUARTER OF OUR NATION'S ENTIRE DEBT and Republicans want to cut YOUR social security to pay for it, and that's what this debt ceiling bullshit is all about. fucking unacceptable

Watching my political shows from last night, NH Gov Sununu said he wanted GOP in control for fiscal discipline. Last time there was GOP fiscal discipline was Nixon (created EPA). Last time there was a GOP surplus was Eisenhower (90% marginal tax rate). Majority of debt came with GOP "leadership".

[Preface: I am a registered Democrat.] SWMBO asked me who I liked in the Republican Primary. My immediate response was the former president. Why? TFG puts the ugliest face on Republican "plans" and "accomplishments", and every dollar raised goes to lawyers and settlements, not campaigns.

This explains so much. This is to be a joke; now Republicans want to make it law.
