I used the opportunity to make my first post on Twitter in a year. Another guillotine picture, of course. Guillotines are the only appropriate thing to post there now.

Wired.com: You’ve read your last free article. Me: You’ve run your last Javascript.

This article is saying other countries should repeal their equivalents to the DMCA’s anti-curcumvention, just like Cory Doctorow says, and I agree too. The whole reason those counties passed DMCA-like laws was that we threatened to tariff them if they don’t. Well, now we’re tariffing them anyway. We’re no longer holding up our end of the bargain, and neither should anyone else.

OP really wanted that red rectangle with a red arrow, I guess. Here’s the original from this Al Jazeera story:

OK, yeah. I didn’t see that one coming. Bubba isn’t confirmed to be Bill Clinton, but if true, I wonder how many of Trump’s bigoted fan base will finally ditch him for being bisexual, of all things.

What does this change? Before the election, the whole world already knew Trump raped children and 77 million Americans voted for him anyway. It was everywhere. There was no rock large enough that anyone could hide under it and not know that truth. They were OK with this.

Good point, yeah. I wonder if I should be saying Trump is the only government official in the US ever to be impeached twice. It includes every president, vice president, federal official, state governor, or state judicial official that there’s ever been in the US. That’s probably more accurate.

Here’s the writer’s Bluesky version of this post.

That last bit though, that he’s the only US President to be impeached twice, is too narrow. Of all the hundreds of millions of people who have ever been US citizens in the past 250 years, Trump is the only US citizen to ever be impeached twice.
