Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

Jean Valjean, but he had to steal 600,000,000 copyrighted books to feed his sister's starving LLM.

I'm not convinced people would follow at that point, tho, because some of the AP sharp edges come back. Users need to find new PDS providers to migrate to. Someone needs to take over running a new canonical PLC or complete the work to decentralize resolution so relay and appview runners can hook in.

The neat thing about ATproto is how much easier it is to get a full network view than with ActivityPub. If Bluesky was broke and the community hadda take over, we can kinda-sorta do that keeping full network view. Just more complex and pricey than one nerd docker-compose up'ing a masto server.

Always nice to read things from the lovely folks at Kagi. Their long-term societal vision seems an almost impossible distance away right now, but truly no world can exist unless we first imagine it and then work on building it. And I'm glad these folks are doing both.

The president encounters a binder clip for the first time, then talks about it for a while. Remember when Joe Biden had a raspy voice and every major news organization created a 10-person Biden Is Old investigative team?

Like let's not overestimate the collective memory of the American people or underestimate the fecklessness of the Democratic party. Republicans putting an end to this now puts them out of power for, like, a couple elections before folks start to forget.

I don't know that I believe there's such a thing as a "last straw" for the craven congressional republicans. But sure if there's going to be one, this is as good as any.

2) Also: what the fuck projection is this?! Russia is eight times Greenland's size and they're making it look the same?

The thing about the US is that our manbabies are the whiniest and most deranged in the world and we give them access to unprecedented amounts of power and money.

By the way, @wikipedia.org is officially 25 years old and is indisputably one of the wonders of the Internet age. If you've never thrown them a couple bucks and you're able to, maybe consider it.

Let’s talk about abolishing ICE. Very few people who say “abolish ICE” mean “abandon all immigration enforcement.” Rather, they mean “the structure of immigration enforcement is irretrievably broken and needs to be reorganized, just like we did 23 years ago when we created ICE.” /1

I'd beat 1+2 before so those were pretty straightforward. But for most of these other games I've just fucked around with robot masters. Until 11 which I've also beat. So I'm looking forward to seeing what the games in between have to offer.
