Yesterday, @Google's search engine removed all mentions of this @theintercept investigation by @radleybalko into Little Rock's police department and the FOP's efforts to unseat Keith Humphrey, a Black police chief appointed by the city’s first Black mayor.

The Bengals begin their AFC North reign with…a loss to the Jets. Lol. Ravens back on top, for now at least.
Yes We Can Can youtu.be/CEck9L77Pvo This whole album slams. Bernie Worrell and Bootsy Collins(on guitar!) team up with probably the best rhythm section of the 1980s. Song originated with Anne Toussaint, big hit for the Pointer Sisters in 1973.
A very fine dirge. Waits plays drums, Waddy Wachtel and Keith Richards on guitar, Larry Taylor (Canned Heat) on bass. youtu.be/BbNg5_Jtd8k

Why is China smashing its tech sector? Is it really about antitrust? I doubt it. I think it's because what we think of as "tech" is not the kind of tech China's leaders have decided they want. noahpinion.substack.com/p/wh…

Glad to see the Supreme Court rein in the vaguely-written, overbroad Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Too bad the decision came 8 years too late for Aaron Swartz. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/…

Left parties in many countries have exchanged support from low-education voters for high-education voters since 1970, but without becoming parties of the rich; the right in many places has become a coalition of the rich & the uneducated economist.com/graphic-detail…

Tyrone West: Fowler’s office ruled that he died from natural causes exacerbated by the struggle with officers and the summer heat. The ruling played a significant factor in the officers being cleared by the Baltimore State’s Attorney’s Office.
Maryland's Attorney General’s Office is to review all in-custody death reports produced during Dr. David Fowler's 17-year tenure following his testimony in the Derek Chauvin trial. bit.ly/3dKPw4I

Lopez looking like a good candidate for the bullpen. #Orioles
We have to talk about Tucker Carlson, Replacement Theory, and the Right's usage of white supremacist paranoia and apocalyptic fearmongering to legitimize violence. This is fascism. Period. We've seen it before in Germany and here in America. 1/ jaredyatessexton.substack.co…

Google’s win over Oracle with respect to fair use of the Java API software interface was a well-reasoned victory over an outmoded reading of the copyright laws. Every computer user should applaud the thoughtful Breyer opinion for the 6-2 majority. supremecourt.gov/opinions/20…

The content industry really should have stayed in their lane. They know from nothing about software.
Companies/orgs which were on Google's side vs Oracle's side. Oh yeah, the usual suspects of restricting users freedoms and people who push for draconian DRM all the time...
Google’s use was transformative. Federal Circuit’s narrow interpretation of this concept was rejected
Google v Oracle is out! Fair use!
