New York Times awarded essentially all anti-SLAPP claims, including fees/fees-on-fees for prosecuting the anti-SLAPP claim, in anti-SLAPP plenary NY state court action v Wayfarer (based on underlying Blake Lively / Wayfarer Federal case) Nice work! @nytimes.com cc @matthewschafer.bsky.social

The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed on Wednesday that, yup, New York’s Anti-SLAPP Statute protects journalist Julia Duin (@juliaduin.bsky.social) and @newsweek.com from a story quoting criticisms of The Satanic Temple www.courtlistener.com/docket/69928... Again, enterprising reporter, etc.

Conclusion from Second Court of Appeals opinion:
When speech occurs in “a public forum in connection with an
issue of public interest,” New York law affords defamation
defendants greater protection than constitutionally required. N.Y.
Civ. Rights Law § 76-a(1)(a)(1). The district court recognized and
applied that higher fault standard to this dispute. Because we agree
that The Satanic Temple’s claim falls within New York’s anti-SLAPP
statute and that the Temple failed to establish a triable issue of fact as
to actual malice, the district court’s March 27, 2025 judgment is
AFFIRMED in full.

I sometimes use EUV litho tools, which are astoundingly complex, to talk about global supply chain complexity and bottlenecks. But this post on high voltage transformer engineering is just bananas. frontiermap.substack.com/p/the-us-imp...

The US imports 82% of its large power transformers. How it got there, and what it will take to rebuild the capability.

Why the rebuild depends on metallurgy, apprenticeship, and one mill in Pennsylvania.

the great thing about having an open point of view is that it creates an incentive to bend over backwards to present alternative and opposing views, in ways proponents of those views would recognize and endorse, in order to neutralize accusations of unfairness and propaganda.

Hey, turns out we recommend the Hep B birth dose for a reason. www.statnews.com/2025/09/11/n...

It was the late 1980s and the American plan to combat hepatitis B wasn’t working. A vaccine had been available since 1982 and recommended for those deemed to be at highest risk, such as health care workers and men who have sex with men. But the infection rates had gone up, not down. When epidemiologists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention dug into the data, they noticed one figure that had stayed alarmingly stable: Between 30% and 40% of hepatitis B patients had no identifiable risk factors at all.

When they published their paper in 1990, it was subtitled, “Need for Alternative Vaccination Strategies.” The next year, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices — the CDC body that sets such guidelines — recommended vaccinating all infants. Over the next two decades, case numbers plummeted by 99% among children and teens.

idk if you've seen this south korean editorial that ran a few days ago. google translate version scorched my eyebrows www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...

Maga is fundamentally a populist white racism.
The slogan "Make America Great Again" is more accurately described as "Make White
America Greater." The fact that the tariff policy insisted on a 50% tariff only on steel and aluminum stems from the concentration of these groups in the Rust Belt.

The massive crackdown on illegal immigrants at the Hyundai-LG Energy Solutions joint venture plant in Georgia must be understood in this context. The scenes of our workers being chained and escorted away were reminiscent of the dragging of African slaves in the 18th and 19th centuries. The
Department of Homeland Security boasted of
"the largest single-site raid in history," and Immigration and Customs Enforcement even brazenly released footage of the raid, which was highly violating human rights, as if to boast of their "achievement."

Far-right whites may have secretly rejoiced.
Even politicians like the Georgia governor and local lawmakers, who had been active in attracting factories, have shifted their stance and sympathized with their grievances. This is likely because it's difficult to ignore the anti-immigrant sentiment of native Americans. Like the McCarthyism that swept through American society in the 1950s, irrational madness dominates American society. The recent visa issue, which could have been resolved diplomatically with advance notice from an ally, is difficult to explain beyond political maneuvering. The fact that they mobilized helicopters and armored vehicles for show, as if they had been caught, is difficult to explain.

The Dept. of Education has pulled funding for programs in 8 states that support students with both hearing and vision loss. A staffer at one program says he was told the Trump admin. took issue with 2 words on the grant application: “transition" and “privilege": www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Screenshot of article excerpt: The Education Department also was concerned about other words in the application, said Adrian Klenz, who works with deafblind adults in the state. He said he has talked with state officials about the discontinuation of the grant.

“I was told that apparently the administration is going through past grants and two words were flagged: One was transition and one was privilege,” Klenz said. “Transition — transitioning from childhood to adulthood. Privilege came up because a parent wrote a glowing review of staff that said what a privilege it was to work with them.” ProPublica obtained a copy of the grant application and confirmed that those words were included.
