Like it really cannot be overstated that one of the difficulties with identifying bad AI-generated writing is that a lot of non-AI writing is also bad!

He wasn't going to a protest. There was no planned protest. It was people in a neighborhood witnessing & recording public actions by secret police. Gun-at-protest is a lie & distraction.

It was an extrajudicial execution. Anyone who defends this is defending a police state.

Everyone in Minnesota needs to invest in metal trash can lids. If you find out ICE is in the area raiding, go outside and bang the lids on the ground so everyone can hear. Old school neighborhood alert.

Today's decision being heavily criticized by Past Brendan Carr

Should the government censor speech it doesn’t like? Of course not.

The FCC does not have a roving mandate to police speech in the name of the “public interest.”

Who, in your view, should have the power to draw the line between a “lie” and “free speech”? Government officials that want to stay in political power or the people that can hold them accountable ?

President Biden is right.

Political satire is one of the oldest and most important forms of free speech.

It challenges those in power while using humor to draw more people in to the discussion.

That’s why people in influential positions have always targeted it for censorship.

Free speech is the counterweight—it is democracy’s check on government control.

That’s why censorship is the authoritarian’s dream.

After all, there’s a straight line from the soap box to the ballot box. You retain freedom at both or neither.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social A large problem, to use your example*, is that Trump is acting like Margaret Thatcher about to hand an generation protest signs of dead hunger strikers. (Though I would mix the metaphor and say that it’s the attitude of Maggie and the result of Bloody Sunday.)

I wish we could have snap elections, and that our general elections were limited to 51 days.

I relaunched my Substack last week to complement the podcast. Here’s the first “official” post. I'm excited to retrain my writing muscles and perhaps even improve them! I would love it if you would consider subscribing. It's one newsletter every two weeks and 100% free for the foreseeable future.

On music production, the mission of Matt O'Donnell Wants To Know, and stuff I'm currently into.

Today seems like a great day to point out that if people were paying liberals to protest / appear at town halls, me and at least a dozen people I know would have been approached to be involved by now.

Dear Global Friends, We know how you feel. We get it. We don’t recognize these people holding power either. We don’t recognize them as legitimate expressions of our values or principles as Americans. Thank you for voicing your disapproval and opposition. Signed, A concerned American

As a proud Catholic, they need to clean this up. Ain’t nobody got time for dragging ass on accountability.

I am 45 years old and I still think that I know nothing. It's such a joy to have so much stuff to learn and study in this world. You can be amused every single day of life, you just need to look for it. Life is the best.

This was the most frustrating thing to me this weekend, because it’s utterly elementary. My daily enemy is the continued decline in society’s attention to detail.

What a shmuck. This dude bolstered the GOP vote because he’s a Catholic convert. He attacks the USCCB because going higher would put him at odds with Pope Francis himself, who hates all the fuckery that’s going on with migrants. That’s dangerous ground, so he hides by kicking sand at the Bishops.

Hey! I’ve been lurking here for a while but it’s probably time to start presenting and interacting. 15+ years as a full-time musician in Nashville / podcast / lots of thinking / trying to use true knowledge and taste for the greater good. The best answer to a question is usually another question.
