Please share this with anyone you know who still uses LiveJournal. It could collapse next week; it could last another two years. I think "next week" is probably too fast and "two years" is probably pushing it, a lot; that's my only prediction.

So apparently a former judge for the Miss Teen/Miss Teen USA pageants (owned by Trump at the time) has put out a video saying that people looking into the Trump/Epstein stuff should look into the pageants.

There is a legal history of this pattern by people who really want to impose their own 'thing' while *preventing* other people's 'things' from being legal at all.
School clubs and associations were (and still are) an example of this.

what is extra frustrating about the continued efforts to kill it is that none of them understand this
everyone attacking it is convinced that killing section 230 will allow them to remove some part of the internet that they don't like, be it content moderation or sex predators, but it's much worse

Bluntly, Section 230 is almost literally the law that the entire internet rests upon, it makes it possible for user generated content to exist on the internet, it’s incredibly important, and genuinely we must defend it at all costs. This place literally would not exist without it.

Something weird is happening with @archive.org
I just noticed that their charts showing web indexing by archive.org has been declining *DRAMATICALLY* since April or May.
Not just for one domain, or a few domains, but for every domain I checked. The amount varies - but the decline is everywhere

I lost a job for calling Charlie Kirk a Nazi, but this is cool.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

The psychiatrist tells them to remember to not worry about things they can't control and wait for Amazon SREs to fix it.
