When scholars of authoritarianism and fascism leave U.S. universities because of the deteriorating political situation here, we should really worry.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

Mark Hamill posting rebellious content in a battle against a dictator and his robotic sidekick is the most Star Wars shit ever.

Around the year 1050 of the Third Age, #Sauron bought a house in Greenwood the Great and renamed it #Mirkwood. This habit of dictatorial overlords moving in and renaming geographical areas just because they feel like it is still practiced today. Unfortunately, we're severely lacking in wizards.

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

Here's an example of the sort of tests I run with "AI" to see if they're still on their bullshit. One of these listed characters doesn't exist in the book. Gemini just plain made them up. Again: what does it get wrong about the things I *don't* know about?

Me: BATMAN BEGINS is great, but I was amused by the writers’-fiat plot device that a place can be SO corrupt that some reasonably-organized foreign actor can just puppeteer it on a whim.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.
