  • Trump will sneak in a quick rewrite to the first article, called ‘First draft’:

    “Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, except when it involves disloyal media, un-American ideologies, or challenges to the rightful authority of the government. The press shall be free, provided it does not engage in fake news or report unfairly on the administration. The right of the people to peaceably assemble shall be protected, unless deemed disruptive, unpatriotic, or contrary to national interests. Only grievances deemed legitimate may be petitioned to the Government for redress.”

    Allthough it probably would look like this if actually wrote it:

    “Look, free speech is great. The best. Nobody loves free speech more than me. But let’s be smart about it. We don’t want fake news running wild, do we? The press can be free, absolutely, but if they’re dishonest—if they lie, cheat, and work against America—then guess what? That’s not free speech, that’s fraud. And we’re not going to allow fraud. People can say what they want, sure, but if it’s radical, if it’s dangerous, if it hurts America—sorry, not happening. Protests? Fine, as long as they’re peaceful, respectful, and not a total disaster. And if you’ve got a problem with the government, you can petition—but let’s keep it reasonable. No whining, no hoaxes. Just common sense. It’s gonna be tremendous.”

    Obviously all terrible and dangerous for all citizens of the US and abroad. This is truly an test to see whether the US wants an king and whether it can withstand the assault on its institutions by someone hellbend on destroying whatever he can. He’s like an unskilled stratego player that would rather throw an tantrum and destroy the game, rather than learn to play the game.



  • What really caught you off guard about this episode? By who did it?

    I really liked it too anyway. I loved the whole FBI v. Lassiter game, and how Jules basicly got sidetracked the whole episode by FBI guy, that eventually got nowhere, while Shawn actually did get with the other Psych before discovering something else about her.

    And more so the bit between Shawn and Henry in the store. Just him one upping Henry, who could really care less. And how he forces Gus to agree that Shawn owes him one. Really great.





  • Good point! It was not a given, but right now it seems like Reddit’s choices (and related events at Twitter/Meta) have been driving new platforms to emerge. I’m still incredibly suprised by the adoption of Lemmy and Kbin and especially the quaility and diversity of available apps for the platforms. It’s just really cool to see what people can do when they care about communitites of people coming together.

    It should not be about making as much money as possible, it should be about building a great product. Sure, you have to pay the bills, but sadly the way capatalism influences business makes that it can’t exist and do fine, no it has to be amazing and be constantly growing.

    What is the point? Like, an app such as Twitter imo should operate more like a public good, as a library does. Side effect would also be that billionaires will be too bored to care at all, so that’s great.
