You CAN shout “fire” in a crowded theatre
#politics #freedom #speech #censorship
The cliché that “you can’t shout ‘fire’ in a crowded theatre” originates in the 1917 United States Supreme Court ruling against Charles Schenck, a socialist who had issued a broadside calling for young men to refuse military conscription and was convicted under the Espionage Act. These were the circumstances under which Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote the statement: “The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting ‘Fire!’ in a theatre and causing a panic.” Note that the word “falsely” is invariably dropped when quoted by advocates for censorship.

Intending to go on the moor at dawn, but rain changed my plans. The Barn Owl came out to hunt as the rain cleared, not a wasted morning.

This afternoon I’m demoing Penpot flex and grid layouts in a free livestream with Q&A.
I can’t overstate how valuable this feature is to both designers and devs. It’ll blow your socks off.
If you’re new to the concepts of CSS flex and grid, you should find this helpful too!

Police in Copenhagen said two predawn explosions took place on Wednesday near the city's Israeli Embassy, prompting a nearby Jewish school to close for the day.
Police said no one had been injured and that they are still trying to establish whether there was a link between the blasts at around 3:20 am and the Israeli diplomatic mission. There are several other embassies in the area.

Anarchists on the Wave of #Protest in #Indonesia
In August 2024, a wave of protests rocked Indonesia, ostensibly in response to political machinations aimed at anointing a successor to President Joko Widodo, popularly known as Jokowi.
