You gotta just block these accounts without interacting. They're doing this the night before No Kings so they can selectively grab quote posts and replies about how nasty people are being. It's extremely transparent. Just block and move on.

What Dropping 17,000 Wallets Around The Globe Can Teach Us About Honesty Scientists used "lost" wallets to test whether people are more likely to be dishonest when they might profit. The results were puzzling β€” so they put more money in the wallets.

My partner was one of the researchers on this lost wallet study. Turns out people suck less than we expect. www.npr.org/2019/06/20/7...

The conclusion of the appeals court decision, which states: The trial court's judgment is reversed. We remand the cause to the trial court with

instructions to (1) grant appellants' TCPA motion to dismiss, (2) award court costs and reasonable attorney's fees to appellants in accordance with the statute, (3) consider whether to assess sanctions against Haas in accordance with the statute. See TEX. Civ. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. Β§ 27.009(a).

In 2024, I wrote a story for Texas Monthly about Michelle Haas, whose complaints resulted in the removal of books about slavery from historic Texas slave plantations. Haas sued us, alleging defamation, and was represented by the preferred lawyer of billionaire J.P. Bryan. Today, we won on appeal.

Post from WH about Chicago "in chaos," showing scene from another state.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act.

I'm dead serious. We live in incredibly stupid times.

The good news is that the Supreme Court still refused to hear this case.

The bad news is that three justices seem eager to force every public school in the country to out trans kids to their parents, and it only takes one more vote to put a future case on the docket that lets the court do so.
