New: 3 yrs ago I published exposé revealing Richard Hanania used pseudonym to write for Nazi sites Ever since I've watched centrist media rehabilitate him, accepting his ludicrous claim to have left white nationalism behind. My look at what it means, for @marisakabas.bsky.social' The Handbasket

You don’t have to hand it to Richard Hanania

The so-called "former" white supremacist's work doesn't show accountability—or that he's actually moved on from his earlier views, Christopher Mathias writes.

Is deleting an encryption password "damaging property"? A US citizen is being charged under a federal statute (18 U.S. Code § 2232) that makes it unlawful to knowingly destroy or damage property to prevent authorities from seizing it. But the property (phone) can be seized, just not read.

You think people really cannot tell the difference between the old taping pens (illegal in many states) and continuous recordings of full video fed into an LLM? Or are they just pretending they can’t tell the difference to defend the end of privacy?

I've seen a lot of BlueSky users threaten violence if they ever saw someone wearing Meta Raybans all the while discreet recording technology has been under their noses for decades.

Anticipatory obedience with anti-democratic demands has been the hallmark of the Trump era. This study looks into why this is happening among the political elites.

New public pre-print with @aarslew.bsky.social and Martin Bisgaard 🧵 We introduce a perspective on democratic erosion that focuses on quiet anticipation among political elites: what do they think happens to those who cross a strongman that challenges democracy? www.researchgate.net/publication/...

I’m an old so this looksmaxxing thing never made sense to me, but this article is an interesting take on the focus on appearance and AI and how that’s changing the world. Scary. Only aspect missing is the almost guaranteed increase in eating disorders and deaths if young people as a result.

This article is disturbing on it's own but something it doesn't address that I want to highlight is, if Moraff DID get other journalists to lie about Platner, then that's the kind of fireable ethics breach that could be used as blackmail to coerce a journalist to do further unethical things for him.

How is this the new standard? It’s b stricter than criminal: records show authorities determined Aly was not “clearly and beyond a doubt entitled to be admitted” after arriving in Philadelphia. Without a doubt is not a standard any of us can meet, citizen or not.

The Department of Justice is trying to get the NAACP’s Clean Air Act suit against xAI tossed because it claims the government should be able to block *all* citizen suits it opposes to avoid “Article II” concerns. As today’s “One First” explains, this argument is as scary and alarming as it is novel:

234. DOJ, Citizen Suits, and the xAI Litigation

DOJ's move to toss out a lawsuit against xAI for illegally operating gas-burning turbines to power data centers turns on a dangerous new constitutional claim.

So FIRE is up to its usual stupidity, pretending that "freedom of speech" means "platforming racists who want to suppress the speech of others is good, actually." An excellent way to lose all credibility as a free speech organization is to invite Ilya Shapiro.

The Manhattan Institute is seeking to criminalize more and more protest. FIRE has invited two prominent Manhattan Institute figures — Ilya Shapiro and Heather Mac Donald — as keynote speakers at their 2026 conference.

If you're voting in California, drop your ballot into a COLLECTION BOX, not a mailbox. There should be collection boxes by government offices and libraries. USPS is set to deliberately fuck with mail-in ballots.

Erica Joy Astrella@ericajoy.astrel.la · 3mo ago

california is gonna have so many mail in ballots that don’t get counted because people don’t know the new USPS rules that are impacting mail in voting. tl;dr don’t put your ballot in the mail today, find a ballot drop box. www.kqed.org/news/1208537...

My stress dreams still involve having to give school presentations, many decades out of school. Today I dreamt I was preparing to give a presentation on politics in a post-truth world. Maybe I should stop reading about politics before bed.

If you take any generic medications you should listen to this investigation from @propublica.org. And check your medication’s manufacturing inspection history. projects.propublica.org/rx-inspector/

Where Was My Generic Prescription Drug Made? - Rx Inspector - ProPublica

The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead. Use information on your prescription label to locate the factory and see inspection reports.

90% of U.S. prescriptions are for generics. The FDA says they work just as well as brand name drugs. But when reporters Debbie Cenziper and Megan Rose dove into the FDA’s records, that’s not what they found. Listen to Ep. 1 of our new podcast, “Paper Trail.” Subscribe:
