BREAKING: An Iowa state court dismisses President Donald Trump’s frivolous lawsuit against veteran pollster J. Ann Selzer (represented by @thefireorg.bsky.social) and the Des Moines Register newspaper, a victory for First Amendment rights. Opinion here: www.fire.org/research-lea...
This case sets a President, a member of Congress, and a former state senator against a pollster and a newspaper, and it arises out of an election. A case of that kind invites the reader to look for a political result. The Court’s role is narrower. It is to sit as an impartial arbiter, to apply the law without passion or prejudice, and to rule without regard to the politics of the day. As such, the only question before the Court is whether the Petition states a claim the law recognizes. At its core, the Plaintiffs’ Petition seeks to stretch both Iowa statutory and common law beyond their current bounds, turning speech that enjoys the highest category of First Amendment protection into a liability. After considering the parties’ arguments, the Court must conclude that the protection is too great and the reach is too far. The case must therefore be dismissed.

El-Sayed on Kamala: "In our conversations, she understood the challenges w/ the Biden-era policy toward Gaza & this is an opportunity for us to come together. The event we're doing is actually about an area she & I have both worked quite a bit on, which is maternal and infant mortality disparities"

The official Wicked account posted the clip of Elphaba saying no one deserves to be silenced. The Davinki Twins told him to "pack it up" Miss Rachel called him a coward. Those are three insanely different camps of people with vastly different fanbases, and everyone can agree: fuck Ed Sheeran

A few days ago I had a discussion with the top executive of a corporation specializing in AI who told me not to worry and assured me that the chance of AI wiping out humanity is “no more than 10 percent.” I was astounded. Isn’t a 10 percent threat of extinction STILL too high?

Leave it to Dublin to turn a Presidential visit into a high-flying circus roast. Between the floating caricatures and the massive turnout, the Irish made one thing crystal clear: Trump is about as welcome in Ireland as a plague. #Blues

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.

I’m glad that the walls seem to be closing in on Andrew Tate, but it took criminal investigations across three countries, dozens of outspoken victims, and a hit TV show implying he drives boys to murder girls for this to happen—and he still hasn’t been convicted yet. This is why 98% get away with it

Glorious bit of trivia from Eddie Johns on Threads: Since Abraham Lincoln's assassination in 1865, every single President has been alive at the same time as Herbert Hoover. It would still have applied even if Kamala Harris had won. She was born the exact same day Hoover died, October 20, 1964.
