I was pretty confident I was going to fool ya'll on "The Assets." ASS-ets. Get it? But the public got this one. It's a series about Aldrich Ames.
Public score: 3/9
The public also seemed to know the video game "The Last of Us," currently available from @Walmart bundled with the Play Station 2 for only $2,000. walmart.com/ip/Sony-PlaySt…
I was impressed that the public saw through the many layers of double entendre in "The Spymistress" and recognized it as a book about a female spy.
Public score: 5/11
Score correction. I believe it should be 5/10 right now.
@scottjshapiro insisted that I include "Anal Chiropractor" and see if we could pass it off as a guide to coccyx injury. I am amazed that 44 percent of you feel for that. It's a porn video.
Public score: 6/11
The public recognized that for all its provocativeness, the title "Juicy Whip v. Orange Bang" is not a porn video but a patent dispute.
Public score: 7/12
And finally, the great @jshaub—in what is really the coup of the whole series—has managed to pass off the OLC opinion on DEA "Undercover Operations" as a porn video. You all should be ashamed of yourselves.
Final public score: 7/13
Whenever I speak about Section 230, I always use the chat site Omegle as the prototype of a site that should not be immune for third-party posted content. I am so glad *someone*--the redoubtable @cagoldberglaw--is finally testing whether 230 really protects Omegle.
I have my doubts that this suit will survive a motion to dismiss under current law. But if you can read it without seething rage, and an overpowering sense that it *should* survive such a motion, I would love to hear a coherent argument that what Omegle...
…other haters on their toes, I try to keep a stream of new dog shirts coming on the show—a stream of ever-escalating offensiveness to the anti-dog-shirt aesthetic.
I was bouncing dog shirt ideas off of @eve_gaumond (who is a young AI scholar you should follow). We both…
Good question. Answer: No.
We did not publish it.
We made sure it was in appropriate hands. (It is a matter of public record that I gave it to Jim Comey after he already had it.)
And we published a VERY cautious piece on @lawfareblog about it when it became public.
I have only had a chance to scan the indictment quickly, but on first glance, it appears to me carefully crafted to deal with the issues that @jshaub and I flagged in our article yesterday. lawfareblog.com/why-justice-de…
Specifically, note that the indictment does not take issue with any previous DOJ position with respect to the scope of executive privilege.
A word about each of them to begin my campaign: @BryceKlehm does an incredible Donald Trump impersonation, which we featured on the “After Trump” podcast.
@jacob_r_schulz has turned himself into an expert on French counterterrorism and knows a shocking amount about this history of prosecutions under the seditious conspiracy law.
