After the first round elections, Congressman André Janones created a WhatsApp channel titled “Lula’s Army.” It ballooned to 10 million people following his commands on how to behave online to counteract Meta’s far-right-favouring algorithms. The right knows how to use socials. We must learn, too.

I suppose this provides a useful distraction from his difficulties with the Law Society of Alberta. He’s an embarrassment to his profession. The man is an idiot, but still influences many other of his ilk.

Although innocent of formal legal education myself, I find looking into current Chinese official and scholarly understandings of just what law is. EtymologistGPT's take on the origins of the Chinese, English and French words for law is intriguing.

Have you ever thought about how your computer adds and subtracts? It takes a lot of hardware to handle floating-point numbers like 12.34. I opened up Intel's 8087 math coprocessor chip from 1980 to see how it works...

Fuck you Meta and Zuckerberg! They took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. I'll post videos & protest from our protest today later on #Bluesky!
