Also: if you simply must do crimes, don't broadcast your criming on social media

For folks living in the United States, participating in this sort of thing is a federal crime and will land you on the radar of the US Office of Foreign Assets Control

If you don't go broke defending yourself from the federal indictment first, you'll likely go broke while you're in federal prison

"I'm a firm believer in our First Amendment right, but I also believe that our Founding Fathers did not include in the First Amendment as being able to lie about somebody," Moyle said. He provided the example about how it would be illegal to yell "fire" in a crowded room if there wasn't a fire. The penalty under the bill would be up to a $100,000 fine, up to five years in prison, or both prison and a fine. The bill would also allow the attorney general or county prosecuting attorney to pursue prosecution if the statement is made about a state elected official or state employee in regard to their official conduct. Someone convicted of "criminal libel" under the bill would also be responsible to provide restitution to the victim for specific costs incurred or loss as result of the false statement.

New Idaho criminal libel bill: "The penalty under the bill would be up to a $100,000 fine, up to five years in prison, or both prison and a fine."

From the House Speaker:
- "I'm a firm believer in our First Amendment right, but"
- fire in a crowded theater

A tall, narrow guard post with a wood shingled roof, at Independence Hall, lit by an 18th century style lamp. In the distance, the National Constitution Center, partially obscured by actively falling snow.

Looming in the distance is a steel tower Benjamin Franklin Bridge, lit green in support of the Philadelphia Eagles. The foreground is a wintery streetscape, with snowy sidewalks, streets wet with snowmelt, and green traffic lights.

A 19th century bank, with Ionic columns supporting its portico, is illuminated in the background of a park scene. Midway, the monumental Bicentennial Bell hangs in the center of a new park. An 18th century lamp post lights the snowy sidewalk in the foreground.

The steeple of the St. Augustine Roman Catholic Church has a backlit clock face glowing in the night sky, snow blows around the city streetscape, a couple carrying bags and walking their little dog crosses New Street in the center of the foreground.

Tonight we had a long overdue winter storm. I took a lot of pictures of Philadelphia in the snow tonight. I feel lucky to live in such a pretty city.

It was hard to pick just four. It was also hard taking pictures in the cold and the wind.

“Look on my Works ye mighty, say ‘not too bad’ and keep it moving.’

the "esc" key on a keyboard is a holdover from early-'90s personal computers. on some models it would dispense a can of escargot out of one of the unused drive bays. they put it in the corner so you wouldn't press it by accident because you only got three of them. i pushed it once and got grounded

“Non-interventionist” Matt Walsh, folks 🤡

He lost the title to his home over a small property tax debt. Years later, he's finally getting it back. A Nebraska man whose house title was seized over a modest property tax debt has finally gotten it back, ending a yearslong legal battle that almost saw

Kevin Fair fell behind on his property taxes after he had to quit his job to care for his dying wife.

In turn, the govt gave an investor the TITLE TO HIS HOME—worth *far* more than his debt.

Six and a half years later, he's finally getting it back. reason.com/2025/01/03/h...

Alabama sends $ 1.75 per day to counties to feed prisoners. Steve Bright tells us how the Morgan County Sheriff actually *made* money: by serving incarcerated people nothing but corn dogs. #DemandTheImpossible

Hey @sdw.bsky.social - looks like that Discord link has expired?

Based on this interview (and a few test searches) I’ll be subscribing to the search engine when I get home. Having listicles/high-ad-density-articles automatically down ranked is huge for me. And I can have tree-style tabs and Firefox/chrome plugins in the browser out of the box? Sounds amazing.

Donald Trump truth social post: "A totally Fake poll that caused great distrust and uncertainty at a very critical time. She knew exactly what she was doing. Thank you to the GREAT PEOPLE OF IOWA for giving me such a record breaking vote, despite possible ELECTION FRAUD by Ann Selzer and the now discredited “newspaper” for which she works. An investigation is fully called for!"

Investigating people for polls you don't like doesn't seem particularly free speechy.

For my first post here, I’m going to note what an absolute disaster it is to have a judiciary whose main job is to enforce constitutional limits on govt that is wildly disproportionately composed of former prosecutors and other courtroom advocates for govt. www.cato.org/study/are-di...

2012: “join Twitter? just so I can learn what some moron had for lunch?”

Prosecutors do not lie, Chad. Sometimes the truth escapes from the vicinity of what they are talking about and must be tracked own and shot in the back.

Let's not forget the fact where you (in this example) and your fellow prosecutor appear to have gotten on the stand and repeatedly perjured yourself when asked about the arrangement.

oh lol this is worse than I thought

DHS spent millions on surveillance of anarchists in Portland to "only amass a giant file of who's canceling whom on Twitter"

I take it back, maybe endless leftist infighting is good

Conservative group tells judge it has no evidence to back its claims of Georgia ballot stuffing A conservative group that claimed to uncover a ballot stuffing scheme in Georgia has told a judge it has no evidence to back up its allegations.

If someone you know was taken in by the claims of "2,000 Mules," let them know that True the Vote, source of the sensational vote-stealing allegations, has now conceded in response to a court order that it can't produce backup data and a secret whistleblower it claimed to have.

can you close one eye at a time to stop weeping angels

The gall of a government officials calling anyone else "anti free speech" while announcing a government investigation into protected speech.

Police Were Told Maine Gunman Had Threatened to Carry Out Shooting Spree The Army Reserve and a Maine sheriff’s department knew of a reservist’s deteriorating mental health five months before he carried out America’s deadliest mass shooting this year.

Authorities in Maine had so many warnings about the Lewiston shooter—virtually every possible red flag. And yet. www.nytimes.com/2023/10/30/u...

I leveled up from arguing about politics on twitter all day to laughing at dog memes on Instagram all day and I’ve never been happier. 🥰😭
