Oh. Cool. Just as the President is using every power he can to suppress dissent and stifle speech, @whitehouse.senate.gov and the @judiciarydems.senate.gov are trying to hand Trump a new tool to suppress speech online.

Spotify Wrapped is usually a fun way to reflect on what you’ve listened to over the year and share your tastes with friends.

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

If you want to get to know a person, you could look at their social media.
But the truth also lies within the Notes app: Too private to post, too important to forget, too forgettable to remember.

A repository of wish lists, reminders and half-baked ideas, the digital jotting pad may be the most analog app in your phone — and in some ways, the most revealing.

Yes! Most people's experience with AI is not "a very tedious, data-heavy, repetitive process that if automated could vastly improve the quality of my work and job."
It's "mom sending me fake videos of riots in her neighborhood, she's scared to go outside" or "trump shits on protestors."

Historians: The secret police are a characteristic aspect of totalitarian and authoritarian regimes and we must recognize them as a cautionary tale.

Legally, this is no different from Iran sinking a Disney cruise in international waters and then saying "it's all good, they were terrorists carrying drugs."
Which is to say, it's wholly illegal and has been for centuries. You couldn't even do this with a Letter of Marque and Reprisal.

There's a word for premeditated killings outside of armed conflict.

I've gotten a mystery box from Miami Fruit that introduced me to some new fruits I'd never seen in america.
I wonder how many fruits are out there that taste delicious, but just aren’t profitable/stable enough to turn into an industry so we just don’t know about them in America.

One of my favorite things about NYC is whenever anyone runs for office here they are required to disclose their bagel order.
