Kinda telling on himself given the “with actual malice” part of it
That title is not easy to decipher
Same. It did stop me scrolling though just to see wtf anyway. Haha
Defending the Constitutional right to be a dick.
He pointed to a long history of political cartoons and comedic impressions of politicians, claiming that “AI-generated commentary, though a new mode of speech, falls squarely within this tradition.”
Yeah, sure. Basically a “potato potahto” thing.

‘Calif’…
Are we making up nicknames for states now?
“Calif.” is one of the two traditional abbreviations for California.
Written abbreviations. I live here and NO ONE calls it “Calif.”.
I live here too. I’ve seen it many times.
PS- the post title is written? I guess I don’t see your point.

… usually…
“The Jr. Dr. in the dept. of ABC Ltd. who weighed 180 lb., read p. 6, 11, etc.”

Good thing this was written then.
California’s name is made up. Literally a place from Spanish fiction novel.

Onomatopoeia words are not arbitrary.
But they do follow the phonotactics of the speaker’s language – the rules of which are ultimately arbitrary.
