They do some good legal work representing people who need it, but their public issue advocacy is just right wing propaganda dressed up to look like an actual ideological commitment to free speech.
FIRE literally counts them and has to overcategorize (i.e. equate students protesting with actually cancelling a speaker's appearance) because there are so few.
We’re going to need a truth and reconciliation commission that gives the six republicans on the court the option to to go prison or resign and spend the rest of their days doing yard work with day laborers to atone for their crimes.
Even the nazis thought they had to pass an enabling act to give Hitler emergency powers. John Roberts and the other conservatives on SCOTUS have decided they don't even need that to legitimize their dictatorship.
You guys, Zeus thinks (((someone))) hijacked that boat in Baltimore and drove it into the bridge. What the fuck are y'all wasting your time for? Just put him on ignore.
"Yes, each of the six dozen times we've double tapped journalists was an accident and how dare you suggest otherwise!" he says while loading a mag into a gun, chambering a round, and aiming it at your head.
The Times has an article about a 16 year old who killed himself with the help of ChatGPT. Here's the link: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/technology/chatgpt-openai-suicide.html
It's fine enough reporting, but it doesn't really get close to how bad this really is:
Even if it were possible to fix this from a tech standpoint (and I'm not sure it is), there's no fucking way Sam Altman, or Elon, or any other fucking techbros building similar LLMs will ever give enough of a shit to do so.
This is all the rebrand is, and it's part of the motivation behind some of the common design elements in newer buildings, but when it comes to the aesthetics of the buildings there's more at play. Making all these pad site buildings essentially the same keeps costs down, makes repairs and upgrades easier, and also makes finding replacement tenants much easier. The pad sites they're on are sold in a big NNN lease market to buyers who want to buy the cash flow the rentals provide without worrying about incurring substantial expense if the tenant fails. Nobody wants to buy a pad site with a 1990s Pizza Hut on it, because the only replacement tenant that will take the space is a shitty vape store.
In other words, it's capitalism. Short of some pretty substantial state intervention, we're not going to see much of anything different.
Ok, I'm posting it here because it's close enough and I don't want to dig up the fight thread. Embedding is off so you have to have a bluesky account to watch it, and don't turn that volume up at work because there's some racist language, but this is beautiful:

I wouldn't even respond on point. I'd go right after the reporter as knowingly perpetuating his pretext to help his fascist takeover. People need to understand that the mainstream media are aiding and abetting him and reporters need to learn that there are consequences for trying to help him.
Also, I'd bet anything that just like the terms of the "donation" of that fucking plane, once his presidency is over he gets the shares. These are all personal bribes, he's not going to let the taxpayers get anything he extorts from anyone.
