Judge doesn't trust DOJ with search of devices seized from Wash. Post reporter

Court to search devices itself instead of letting government have full access.

Enough said!

“The Court finds that seizing the totality of a reporter’s electronic work product, including tools essential to ongoing newsgathering, constitutes a restraint on the exercise of First Amendment rights,”

Today in Labor History February 25, 1908: The Washington Post proposed that all anarchists should be executed (whether or not they had been convicted of any crime). This came two days after anarchist Giuseppe Alia shot a Catholic priest, Father Heinrichs, in Denver.

#WaPo article about "Jeffing", walk-run, as sort of lightweight intervals. With comments from Jeff Galloway

What is ‘Jeffing’? This walk-run technique can help you get in shape.

The cardio workout offers significant health benefits, even for those who don’t want to run continuously.

I wanted to track this down (no link in original post I can find)... and here it is.

Note original graphic was cropped, leaving out #WaPo and #FoxNews. Not sure why, maybe viewed on small screen? That would explain "swipe" mention.

Added: Also note that in the spirit of supporting the authors I'm not reproducing the graphic, but linking the entire article. The "auto website quote" feature of #Mastodon can't quite pick it up... I see only colored columns without text. If that's all you see... please click on the link and scroll down for the entire thing. My impressions for anyone who can't view it: death by #Terrorism is WAY over-represented (#NYTimes is the worst!), our old nemeses #HeartDisease & #Cancer (50% of deaths in the real world) are hardly covered. As Vonnegut would say "So it goes...". 🙄

👉 Reposting the full link because I think the information is important! 👈

Does the news reflect what we die from?

What do Americans die from, and what do the New York Times, Washington Post, and Fox News report on?

Apparently I have some bad assumptions here regarding the #law ... I would have thought the judge bore responsibility for knowing about this stuff.

It seems fundamental, but the only mechanics I know of it are from TV detectives waking up judges...

#SaveYouAClick: the guy says "yes" with a caveat of "it will be different" (to cover himself). TBH, question I'd ask is will anyone even give a fuck about #WaPo in 5 years?
