I love the Cohen Brother

Is a sentence with the words "should have the LEAST right to publish illegal and TOS-violating content" in it ever correct?

[Carrie Goldberg @cagoldberglaw]

It really really is messed up. Public figures should have the LEAST right to publish illegal and TOS-violating content b/c it spreads the farthest and fastest.

I guess Teddy Grahams really ARE here to stay.

Unvaccinated Covid patients were the reason I had to wait 3 days to get my gallbladder removed even though it was an emergency. My doctor spent those 3 days calling hospital after hospital desperately trying to get me in. I was in the worst pain of my life. Get fucking vaccinated

OK, the next 500+ tapes have been added to the Ultimate Tape Archive Commodore 64 collection at Internet Archive, featuring CASSETTE-SPEED LOADING of 1,500 tapes in total. Load a game, boil some tea!

@jenuhhveev Ask Soraya. She's done this multiple times during the pandemic. :(

[Elliot Harmon @elliotharmon]

@mattiekahn I did this once and still feel very guilty about it.

@colettearrand Disco Inferno? I know, but... Disco Inferno?

[Elliot Harmon @elliotharmon]

I still think about this a lot.

Someone told me awhile ago that we'd have a national open access law when open access has its 9/11.

I was thinking this morning about the Gilead patent on remdesivir, and I got to thinking that this moment in history might be open access 9/11.

@MPAVictoria I've started calling The King of Marvin Gardens "the Five Easy Pieces it's okay to like."

@evan_greer People always think authoritarianism is great when it's authoritarian on their side. https://t.co/L0QQbmZv71

And now this same guy is criticizing EFF and other privacy advocates because clearly the way to deal with those troublesome cars is police surveillance. He is such a smart boy!

[Elliot Harmon @elliotharmon]

A weird thing about patriotic songs is that they always have a part where the guy looks all angry and accusatory at the flag. If I were the flag I'd be like "I thought we were friends. :("

@Hushes I kinda am the target audience for this post, to be honest. It took a lot of work to talk myself out of buying this patch.

@MsKatieKurtz Just to be clear, it's not poetry. It's speculative nonfiction. Assignment still stands. :)

[Elliot Harmon @elliotharmon]

@MsKatieKurtz I thought (clearly incorrectly) that just seeing that cover would give you an "I also was in an MFA program in 2005!" frisson.

[Elliot Harmon @elliotharmon]

@MsKatieKurtz I didn't know if you were familiar with Trow or not. But I'd fancifully describe his whole oeuvre as speculative nonfiction. It's nonfiction by definition, but it's also playing with signifiers in a way that feels very scifi-ey to me. This book in particular.

[Elliot Harmon @elliotharmon]

@MsKatieKurtz Read it. I doubt it's covered in the course, though. :)

[Elliot Harmon @elliotharmon]

@danielnazer An early boss of mine in the nonprofit sector made a big point of things like "congratulations" instead of "thank you." For me, that's morphed into things like "you should be proud."
