Contrary to Ilan Wurman’s absurd position, England did have searchers at ports. However, these agents of the state were more about keeping people— and bullion— in the realm; not keeping anyone out. People generally flowed pretty freely into England for centuries. It’s just more ahistorical nonsense.
Must read new article by the great @kabrahamva1.bsky.social and Cathy Sharkey called “Untangling AI Liability” (must read for all law and tech, privacy and tort lawyers and scholars). See link below! Coming out in @califlrev.bsky.social —kudos student editors!
Marco Rubio is confused about "censorship" and a lot of people inside and outside the United States are paying a high price for it. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/u...
Former Bawlmore here—beautiful shot. Thank you!
A bit about a pattern I've been seeing in how ordinary people are using coding tools in probably unproductive ways. If you are new to coding, you may thing the problem you want to solve is build more things. The reality is you want to build *less* things.
Everyone in this video at minimum needs to be fired and lose their pension.
DC folks actually sort of need to demand that heads roll over this. It’s a real problem if law enforcement in the capital is so pathetic, weak, and supine that their instinct is to act as stormtroopers for illicit federal power grabs.
This data consolidation is in flagrant violation of the Privacy Act of 1974, and the way ICE is using it for political and racial repression is the nightmare scenario of the people who drafted that law 5 decades ago.
As someone in the T1D family this hits hard (as does so much of all of ICE depravity). This cannot recur.
1000000 percent. Breathtaking.
If you feel the need to write articles using AI, please find another job. Your students and colleagues deserve a lot better.

Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.

Powerful testimony by @ariezra.bsky.social before the California state assembly about surveillance capitalism’s impact on marginalized communities especially queer kids. @cybercivilrights.bsky.social
The technology of surveillance is … like it says, the technology of surveillance. When governments can pay to tap into corporate webs of surveillance, what results differs little from a surveillance network under direct government control.

“New York City already requires businesses to post signs notifying customers when they collect biometric data, but the proposed legislation would make it against the rules entirely.”
Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

Heads up, folks. You have calls to make!
At some point we have to face the sad truth that this array of Administration miscreants are living their HS fantasies. Under what other circumstances would a group of athletes welcome this guy into a locker room celebration?
They all just wanted in on it.
“Swamp,” my ass.

Add this to research that suggests that as Musk took over Twitter (but before Twitter became X), the algorithm there was serving up content that leaned markedly to the right, even for users whose networks leaned left. www.arxiv.org/abs/2512.06129
