A lot of legal detail in this post. Here are three key points I pulled out the aricle:

• Internet users have a First Amendment right to speak on social media—whether by posting or commenting—and that right may be infringed when the government seeks to  interfere with content moderation, but it will not be infringed  by the independent decisions of the platforms themselves.

• Underlying these rulings is the Supreme Court’s long-awaited recognition that social media platforms routinely moderate users’ speech

• This term’s cases also confirm that traditional First Amendment rules apply to social media

Some great advice here. I also like this piece of verbal judo: “I have taken up too much of your time, I will let you go now. I have bored you enough with my pedantic nonsense.”

The most powerful thing you can do as a parent is set an example. Not so much in how you socialize with others necessarily, but how you socialize within the family. This sets norms of behavior that your children will model in their interactions with others.

How closely does this correlate with GDP per capita? It seems like richer countries are at the bottom and poorer ones are at the top.

I had an Impala that I named Vlad, so it was “Vlad the Impala”.

Nit exactly a movie, but I rewatched the first season of True Detective. It is a Masterpiece, IMHO.

Correct!

I pulled off and parked in a pullout. But yeah it was backed up for almost an hour.

They had no choice but to settle because much of the evidence was the result of torture and could have been invalid in a trial.

Neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an empire.

Here are two I recommend:

The Rest is History - two historians, Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook go deep on interesting topics from history.

Never Post - a podcast described as “about and for the internet” and in some sense the spiritual successor to Hello Internet but also reminding me of classic Radiolab. Worth checking out.
