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.
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.

Same thing every time: 1. Reframe the victim as the villain 2. Make the state the injured party 3. Turn critique into complicity (“oh so you side with terrorists”) 4. Expand blame to an entire out-group 5. Fuse to a larger us-against-them story to keep any alarmed within the base from defecting
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 7mo agoNoem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"
To those saying “nuh-uh, ICE picked Minneapolis because they WANTED the city to rise up as one against them” - no, pretty sure they expected a scattering of blue-haired protesters they could easily crush for content + tacit support from other whites, not the organized total resistance they got.
Faine Greenwood@faineg.bsky.social · 7mo agoICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.” it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.
In like six months or so we’re gonna have some wild undercover investigative pieces from journalists who got jobs as ICE agents huh
In his own words, here’s how oil billionaire Harold Hamm orchestrated fracking exec Chris Wright’s rise to lead the Dept of Energy. As Energy Sec, Wright has published a report denying climate science (which EPA is using to axe climate regs), boosted fossil fuels, & slashed funding for renewables.
Fieldnotes@fieldnotes.co · 9mo agoAnd Hamm’s ties to Wright? Tight. So tight he brought him to Trump’s now-infamous Mar-a-Lago oil exec dinner where Trump casually floated making Wright Energy Secretary. Here’s Hamm bragging about it at an industry conference:
If McConnell had allowed the GOP-controlled Senate to impeach Trump after January 6, 2021, none of this would be happening. Republicans MUST be punished for their corruption and the damage they're inflicting on the United States by losing their seats in Congress. VOTE OUT ALL REPUBLICANS IN 2026.
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.
W.E.D.em Boyz@leftistwonk.bsky.social · 8mo agoI’d go as far as to say there is no correlation between a journalist’s “objectivity” on a topic and unbiased reporting. In fact “objective” reporters are often the most biased.
Image screening is going to fail. We need audit trails for data provenance.
Pedro Beltrao@pedrobeltrao.bsky.social · 9mo agoI tried an even harder example on Gemini Pro image generation and this is quite scary/amazing. I asked for a microscopy image of around 20 HeLa cells, GFP tagged 20% nuclear, 10% membrane, +1 nuclear staining, + overlap. Image below and prompt in the following post.

So much of the Right-wing alt-media infrastructure is funded by the Ivermectin-pushers and the supplement industry. Saying diseases are harmless doesn't pay, so they always end up pivoting to "actually it's really bad but conventional medicine makes it worse so buy my bullshit cute"
Abbie Richards@abbierichards.bsky.social · 11mo agoNew from me: a deep dive into the grifty world of measles misinformation. If you sow enough doubt and fear and confusion, you can sell more supplements to "bulletproof" your followers immune systems against measles. www.mediamatters.org/tiktok/tikto...
There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.
Even if you take the most lenient possible interpretation -- that SCOTUS has made it increasingly hard to prosecute bribery and corruption -- you still have to ask what kind of crooked-ass administration hires a guy who just took $50k cash.

Jason "Red5" Lyall@jaylyall.bsky.social · 11mo agoBy my count, at least 7 universities have fired faculty or staff for social media posts about Kirk. Clemson, University of Mississippi, U of Tennessee, Newport News, Cumberland University, Middle Tennessee State, UT Knoxville Add to the thread if I've missed some
one of the clearest signs you're dealing with a strong and principled political movement is when they want to make it illegal to make fun of them
Honestly, relying on copy paste errors to detect scientific fraud was never a foolproof strategy
Elisha Krieg@elishakrieg.bsky.social · 11mo agoAI can now generate fake microscopy images that are nearly impossible to detect. A serious threat to scientific integrity—and we’re not prepared for it. Commentary in @natnano.nature.com #nanotechnology
