Today's ruling was procedural. The Supreme Court did not decide whether this executive order is legal, it lifted an injunction while the case continues. Make no mistake: this fight is far from over. States run their own elections. Not the Postal Service. Not the President.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court has cleared the way for President Trump's executive order restricting mail-in voting ahead of midterms. apnews.com/article/trump-mai…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Supreme Court stayed one injunction blocking the EO on standing/ripeness grounds, without ruling on its legality. A separate USPS injunction remains. Full implementation for midterms is uncertain amid timing and likely further challenges.

A ton of misinformation on the Supreme Court ruling.
SCOTUS basically said USPS has to make a final rule before plaintiffs can come to us and say they are harmed by it.

Qué gusto poder discutir sobre el espacio digital con la presentación "PRESERVACIÓN, CALIDAD Y LO EFÍMERO DE LOS DATOS EN REDES SOCIALES" por parte de @walkeroh de la @ASU.

It is important to ground our understanding of AI in reality and to demystify it. We are really using trace and surveillance data to push machine learning, but is sure isn't magic. It's pretty brittle so breaks down pretty quickly.

It seems we've entered a whole new phase of #AIHype discourse. The good news: There seems to be some movement towards creating regulation. The bad: A lot of it seems to be informed by #AIHype coming from BigTech --- even among those who would work to limit the power of tech cos.
Sen @BernieSanders you are right that we need regulation to ensure tech development that actually benefits everyone.
Machine's aren't gathering info. Big Tech is using machines to gather it. Let's keep the focus on keeping corporations accountable.

Yesterday, an explosion rocked St. Petersburg’s Street Food Bar, a café once owned by #WagnerGroup godfather Yevgeny #Prigozhin.
The target was prominent Russian military blogger Maksim Fomin, better known by his nom de plume Vladlen Tatarsky.

Updates:
US flu trends: sharply down.
US RSV hospitalizations: sharply down.
US Monkeypox: close to zero.
Same in Europe.
Remember the claims that widespread post-COVID immunodeficiency had caused their earlier rises?
If that were true, cases would have to be going up and up.
