Why is @jamellebouie.net so good at this? He's a frustratingly competent political analyst. Just extraordinary.

So my read is that section applies to organizations defined in (A)(8)(a) and (b) excluding those in (D)(2). So even absent the exclusions, the law doesn’t seem like it’s targeted at social media at all.
And even if it were, (D)(2) explicitly exempts “a provider of an interactive computer service.”
So again, this is a choice that Bluesky has made. It’s not something they’re required to do.
As that GitHub thread mentions, no other websites are making that choice.
Is your contention that one of bluesky’s principal business purposes is presenting material that’s obscene? (Sec 1349.10(A)(8)(b))
Because that doesn’t seem correct to me.
English speakers who play chess love to import words/terms from other languages. E.g., luft, intermezzo, zwischenzug, zugzwang, and en prise.
I’d like to suggest we adopt kachi-koshi/make-koshi. Example usage:
A: How’d you do in the tournament?
B: Not great, I got a make-koshi.
These Senate Democrats are selling out every citizen of the US that has resisted the Trump regime.
They will vote for Trump nominees. But how many will show up at NoKings protests, how many went to Minneapolis to lead the people?
Everyone on this list must be primaried.

For a birthday paradox collision, you’re looking at 2^64 hashes. Hashclash is a much faster approach. Although I haven’t tried it myself.

We can vote this privileged moral cipher out of office in November, Ohio.
And note that bsky isn’t required to do this in Ohio, they’re choosing to.
Great. Another way to hide disfavored content from adults.
Ok, but why is Graham Platner actually a thing? Wtf is wrong with yall?
New — My case for why it’s not enough to call this “Trump’s war” when violence abroad implicates us all, and how we don’t need hindsight to know that unequivocally opposing this war will be the correct (and only morally defensible) choice:

Claude’s Cycles Don Knuth, Stanford Computer Science Department (28 February 2026; revised 02 March 2026) Shock! Shock! I learned yesterday that an open problem I’d been working on for several weeks had just been solved by Claude Opus 4.6 — Anthropic’s hybrid reasoning model that had been released three weeks earlier! It seems that I’ll have to revise my opinions about “generative AI” one of these days. What a joy it is to learn not only that my conjecture has a nice solution but also to celebrate this dramatic advance in automatic deduction and creative problem solving. I’ll try to tell the story briefly in this note.
YOOOOOOO fucking KNUTH dropped a lil note on a problem of his being solved w/claude y'alllllll
A fantastic rundown from @jamellebouie.net about what it means to live through Republican governance.
"We elected a Republican president, and the Republican president is doing things that Republican presidents do."

Screenshot of a chessboard with only white squares and white pieces. In the game, the player with the white pieces has checkmated the player with the white pieces.
Every so often @chess.com releases new bots. The Yoko Ono bot is the most interesting I've seen. Both sides play with white pieces.

I can't respond to Gita's thread here bsky.app/profile/xoxo... but I want to note that the response to the final "Shut the fuck up" directed at Bouie by Martin was especially gross.
I thought that @evanurquhart.bsky.social had a good take on the whole thing.
Going back to my own lane now.
Yeah this has been bothering me for a while. Bouie is able to be wrong about things, that’s not in dispute. But I have experienced the sheer glee people get when they can tell a black person “um actually” and like, people truly salivate at the chance.
An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.
Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license.
This is pure cruelty.

The Myth of E2E Encryption Man: g^a Woman: g^B NSA: (a,b) DUAL EC DRBG Isn't there somebody you forgot to ask?
Random memes from like a decade ago.
This sad tale is the most American story ever.
You have a non-violent refugee, in need of help.
You have racist neighbors, calling the cops on him.
You have violent cops, beating him for "not complying" by not dropping his "weapon" (walking stick) then claiming they were hurt.
Then abuse by ICE.
Truly one of the most enraging, weak-kneed things that the D.C. Circuit has done over the past 13 months.
There have always been horrifically anti-trans groups and individuals. Few have done more, though, to launder their hate into “respectable” conversations than Jess Singal. No publications have done more to help that along than The Atlantic and The New York Times.
Specifically, BSD-derived realloc(ptr, 0) [e.g., on macOS] returns a 0-sized allocation like you'd get from malloc(0) (or realloc(0, 0)).
glibc treats realloc(ptr, 0) as free(ptr) unless ptr is NULL in which case you get malloc(0).
I think the BSD one is more consistent, but either is fine. No UB!
Ugh, TIL C23 makes realloc(ptr, 0) UB for non-NULL ptr. [My reading of the spec makes realloc(0, 0) perfectly well defined though!]
realloc is already difficult to use correctly, but why would they introduce UB, especially for something that already has two perfectly reasonable implementations?
