A little louder for those in the back!

[ACLU @ACLU]

Weakening Section 230 would censor lawful content and could potentially lead to platforms featuring speech of little interest or value to users, like disinformation and hate speech.

Undermining Section 230 will undermine free expression for all of us.

BREAKING: We just filed an amicus brief in Google v. Gonzalez, urging the Supreme Court to protect our right to speak freely on online platforms.

Online speech is an essential public good — and overbroad content moderation disproportionately harms disadvantaged communities.

In GALLIM Dance Company's 'BLUSH,' so many moments feel like a mental breakdown, @lorastrum writes. 'Perhaps that madness is what lies just outside the theater, or perhaps that s what audiences will leave behind.'

Was digging in @TheAtlantic archives & found the most random thing: A 1858 review of maps. Yes, maps

"Nothing could well be more convenient than this series of twenty maps...We have seen no maps of North America which seemed to us...at once so cheap and good."

Pulitzer please^

I've had two (I think : ) bittersweet birthdays during this time. How will you remember these two+ years?

🧵A while ago, in a common-sense blackout, I could not remember how old I am. I did the math. 'How old was I when the pandemic began?'

The important part of this equation is that it's been 2+ (!) years of COVID. How will we - or those w/ better memories - recall this time?👉

@JaBogen @rmmckenny I had these (or something very similar). Cold temperatures -- sweater weather or colder -- got rid of them in two days. Maybe run the air con?

Conversations with my 82-year-old dad:
Dad: I told Sam you work on computers, and he asked if you're IT. What's a 'IT'
Me: They work on computers - Dad...I'm not IT
Dad: I don't know what you do...
Me: I'm an editor. I write things that go online
Dad: Do editors work IT?
Me: ...

Little thoughts courtesy @nytimes The Morning: “The only way to be right all the time is to be silent or say nothing interesting. The problem isn’t that people make mistakes; it’s that so few are willing to admit it.”

I am always so impressed that I can maintain this level of anxiety for such a long time.

Breaking News: Sidney Poitier, the first Black performer to win an Oscar for best actor, is dead at 94. He was known for his portrayal of determined, dignified heroes in films like “To Sir With Love” and “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.” https://t.co/KJSfkFB4LR
