I have to admit, I’ve been getting down about the liars and the dirty dirty cheats of the world

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

“Thinking about the future of media is depressing, dull and probably destructive. Let’s think about Star Wars instead.”

IMHO the only thing ROS finishes ahead of is the Holiday Special. And it’s closer than it should be.

I really wish they'd told the next part of the story. Qi'ra was a great character! Donald Glover as Lando! I was entertained.

Chip Stewart @medialawprof.bsky.social · 19h

It’s a good list. I’d move Revenge of the Sith down below Solo, and I prefer Attack of the Clones to Phantom Menace, but I know that’s an extreme minority opinion. And yeah, Rogue One & Last Jedi might be 3-4 in my list.

Great new study, from Mitch McKenney, examining FOI appeal mechanisms, with a special focus on Ohio's innovative FOI-focused court of claims.

If you're interested in the current state or future of appeals, this one's for you. #FOIA

I first read this recommendation a couple of years ago, bought the Brother printer, and yep, it just works fine with no drama. My mom wanted a printer and we got her one too but she insisted on color, so there may be more drama (none yet).

AP is back in court today to defend itself and the right to speak freely without government retaliation.

Why AP is standing for your right to speak freely

The executive editor of The Associated Press says the news organization is fighting for the right of the press and public to speak freely without being targeted by the government.

Are we not even making our own disinformation? What happened to American manufacturing?

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

A Twitter account called Ivanka News tweets an AI image of a young woman wearing Muslim garb. The woman is holding a sign that says "I came here illegally. Should I be deported?"

Ivanka News writes: What is your response to this person ??

In the "About this account" tab, it appears the account is based in Nigeria

An account called MAGA scope writes:

Who, in your view is the great enemy of the United States? Communism, Islam, Democratic Party, or Satan?

The account is based in Nigeria.

An account called MAGA Nadine writes: You go to work and find this. What would you do? The attached pic is an AI image that shows a microwave. The microwave has a sign that says "For religious reasons, this microwave is now making halal food only."

The account is based in Morocco.

An account called America First posts an AI image of Tulsi Gabbard. They wrote: How would you rate your trust in Tulsi Gabbard on a scale of 1-10?

Mets acquire INF Marcus Semien from the Rangers for OF Brandon Nimmo, per multiple reports including @MLBNetwork insider @JonHeyman.

Grand opening, grand closing.

X quietly disabled a new feature that showed which country an account was posting from when it revealed that lots of popular right wing MAGA accounts were being run from foreign countries like India and Nigeria.

Excellent speech by @charliejane.bsky.social about imagination in service to society. Great stuff.

buttondown.com/charliejane/...

Generative A.I., the thing that drives our whole economy right now, is a perfect metaphor for the abject failure of imagination on the part of the powerful. Generative A.I. has no imagination and offers no new insights. It's a mere predictive engine that uses statistics to find the most likely next thing. What's the next word in a sequence, the next pixel in a picture? This is the opposite of imagination, which is so often about finding the least likely thing, the startling incongruity. I worry that so many of us are outsourcing our imaginations and our whole creative selves to these stochastic parrots.

Friday afternoon's news on the Rangers' non-tenders of Adolis Garcia, Jonah Heim, and Josh Sborz was not a shock.

But the way it turns out it made me feel was.
