Some Interesting Things I Read Today (3 April)

This whole case has been infuriating, but I also don't like giving the first amendment nonprofits any excuse. The ACLU has literally come out in support of Nazis in the past, and they can't handle the fact that there was a gun present in a protest in a state where guns are very legal? That seems like they'd rather pick and choose who gets first amendment rights, despite their claims otherwise.

The above article is a pretty good rundown of the Pairieland trial.

Same topic as above, immediately after the verdict, and discusses the repercussions of this decision. While I don't usually like engaging with former intelligence dorks (which this article does), they do make good points about what'll happen (that, btw, most people who didn't do any of this to other people... already had made).

Ridiculous use of AI to ban books, but also just a bunch of absurd censorship choices. Children are being weaponised again for “their own safety.”
