I’m showing Anchorman to my nieces & trying to explain that in the 70s the men people thought were hot looked exactly like that, exhibit: Burt Reynolds

Nieces: ok but that’s just Pedro Pascal everyone loves Pedro Pascal?

Me: WHAT THE FUCK IT IS I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THIS EXISTENTIAL REVELATION TONIGHT

Great article yesterday in the Washington Post explaining how the 1st amendment is being turned on its head to silence researchers of online disinformation and restrict communication between tech companies & govt.. . and what that might mean heading into election 2024: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/07/08/social-media-injunction-doughty-biden-2024-elections/
Social media injunction unravels plans to protect 2024 elections

The companies and the government spent years expanding efforts to combat election interference after the 2016 vote; the ruling undoes much of that.

France tends to aggressively regulate the internet in response to internal security threats. E.G., @Steve and I did a synth control study in this paper (https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0022343320959369, ungated: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xlNQfpAIWBaZ0YSIY2PkiwuurUaBaDcE/view) looking at French response to terror attacks in the 2010s.

I predict that privateering will come back over the next few years. but in a small, gig economy way.

not being paid by governments for blocking shipping ports on the high seas, but like going to Kroger and repeatedly slapping Coca Cola bottles out of someone's hand until, frustrated, they pick up a Pepsi bottle instead. and the you get paid like $0.75 in an app to go do it again.

@nswigger @Steve This whole experience has made me suspicious that 7 or 8 out of 10 genocides start out basically exactly this stupid.
