But, hey, Muse is free and the avataris cute and cuddly. All I have to do is hand over all my personal information to Meta. What could go wrong?
David S. Cohen@dsc250.bsky.social · yesterdaySo if I give Meta all my financial information, access to all my money, and the passwords to my work and personal email accounts, its agent can make reservations for me and order me food? That’s the bargain here?

Four days in Canada confirms the stereotype: Canadians are so incredibly friendly!
I had no idea people from Halifax are called Haligonians. But I love it.
the sad part is that survivors fought like hell to even get expulsion for rapists on the table. when I was an activist > 10 years ago, administrators were *shocked* that we wanted expulsion as a disciplinary option.

Happy 250th birthday to the PA Constitution! And it's better than the US Constitution: - ERA - inherent rights - right to happiness - explicit protection against race discrimination And more! Go PA!
I loved participating in this story abt a new crop of cases challenging abortion bans based on the pregnant person's right to life. Kind of wish I hadn't cursed on the record, but 🤷♀️! Grateful for the shout out to "From Medical Exceptions to Reproductive Freedom" (co-authored w @dsc250.bsky.social)

Eric Lipton NYT@ericlipton.nytimes.com · last wk.What an odd moment in United States history. A U.S. president is running an overtly political camaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government. Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/27/u...

So happy that "The New Abortion Battleground" (co-authored with @dsc250.bsky.social & @rebouche.bsky.social) was cited yesterday by the Sixth Circuit in finding a Tennessee law unconstitutional that criminalizes helping a minor obtain an abortion (even out of state where it is legal)
Welty v. Dunaway, 25-5738 (6th Cir. 2026)
