The future of social media hangs in the balance today as SCOTUS considers laws passed by Texas and Florida that would restrict content moderation. Do states have the power to tell Facebook, YouTube et al what kinds of speech they can and can't take down? Or does that violate the tech firms' own First Amendment rights?
We're covering the cases wall-to-wall on our @washingtonpost live blog: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/02/26/supreme-court-social-media-netchoice-texas-florida/

"Space is no longer what it once was, no longer a place of hope...Space has become a hobby shop for runaway billionaires and in films and TV a place of horror and pain, cold and dark and without a God."

Today is a huge day for the Internet. The Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments in NetChoice v. Paxton and Moody v. NetChoice to decide if legislatures can regulate social media services more freely than traditional publishers. If so, a tsunami of censorship laws will end the Internet as we know it.
My amicus brief in the case (on the explanations provision): https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4655464
I'll issue a statement post-arguments. Happy to talk with reporters too

#GameDev #ScreenshotSaturday #GodotEngine A lot has been happening with the game the past couple of weeks. First NPCs are in and moving. In very hacky ways that already needs to be rewritten. Menus for all the clothing stuff are done, but there's my bugs and godot bugs, and I don't like them. Spent a lot of time flushing out the skateshop. All clothing items are represented in the store, all dynamic and changing/rotating. Working on new tricks finally.

I’ve not shared my work stuff much, so here’s some Concept Art I’d done ages ago for Indivisible #gamedev #conceptart #fantasy
Folks, it's perfectly fine not to want to engage with random strangers on certain topics at certain times of your life.
However, when you feel that way, I strongly recommend you abstain from posting about those subjects on social media. 🤦♂️

11 knot wind and 20+ knot gusts this morning, as well as buzzards who DNGAF on final!
By far the most I've ever dealt with during a landing as a student #pilot! Glad to have my instructor there with me.
@freemo, you know the web version is still down, right?

Finding that the Trumps are pathologically incapable of recognizing and acknowledging their wrongdoing, Engaron orders extreme oversight measures of their businesses. Basically, for the next three years. they can’t submit any financial statements to any bank, insurance company, or other business entity without prior judicial review and permission. 18/

I tried to think of someone more milquetoast and less relevant to make a joke here, but I couldn't because he really is the Joe Manchin of Joe Manchins.
