Homemade ramen today (noodles were not from scratch). Definitely will have to add it to my rotation.

I bought myself a little (signed) present…🥰💙

Fascinated by this for so many reasons.

I remain dumbfounded by the fact that paying off a student loan can negatively (and significantly at that) impact one’s credit score. Just wild.

I get it, there’s one less line of credit, but I am demonstrating I’m a reliable borrower…😫

DeSantis has vetoed HB 1. Though I’m not comforted by his “superior bill” language. I guess there will be something new to look at soon.

Okay, but let’s just do the math here (lawyer, girl, or boy math accepted). Just be like how many more amicus briefs you could write if you weren’t spending 98% of your time there….

In some incredibly exciting professional news: the Supreme Court granted cert today in *both* NetChoice v. Moody and NetChoice v. Paxton.

While the Court is limiting review to the SG’s suggested Qs 1&2, this is still huge news.

Today marks my official debut in @mmasnick.bsky.social’s TechDirt!

I discuss the recent internet regulations coming from various states including CA & AR and compare these regulation to the defunct rationale for regulating movies in the early 19th century.

Great minds, Ari.

So uhm….the State of Arkansas appears to be under the impression that the First Amendment doesn’t protect the right to receive information?

Good thing the court isn’t shy about setting things straight.

Movies? Speech? Ridiculous. They didn’t “fit” what came before. To argue that they were covered strained the text.

Indeed, movies were so radically different that court said movies didnt convey ideas like a newspaper but were “mere representations” of ideas already disseminated

While it may seem crazy now, at the time regulating the dissemination of movies was regarded as firmly within the scope of the State’s police power to regulate for the health, welfare, and morals of its citizens.

Bad movies, after all, could be detrimental to public morality.

@bsky.app here’s what looks like a glitch in case y’all haven’t been altered already. Notifications say people like something but then when I click to see what the post doesn’t exist. Maybe they unliked? But then I’d think the space in notifications would go away?
