this is the clearest black and white picture of how the US is fucked. illegal unprovoked war at the height of financial, healthcare and employment crises by a rogue pedophile president and it has 3/4ths approval from the "opposition" party.

KIDS Act Passes Energy and Commerce along Partisan Lines, COPPA 2.0 Postponed Additional bills on kids online safety and cybersecurity passed with bipartisan support

The package of censorship and surveillance bills brought up in todays markup has been advanced

Continue to contact your representatives and demand this legislation be opposed. Tell your family and friends, explain how these bills are not what they appear, and ask them to join us in opposition!

Ah but have you considered that ergonomics are evil because the boss has to pay for chairs but doesn't have to pay for your back problems? /s

Reminds me of a conversation I saw once where a guy was arguing against giving cashiers chairs because then they would be at the wrong height for the checkout counter, as if chairs and counters cannot simply be made to any arbitrary height you require.

The same sort of people who think trans folks are too small of a group to worry about regardless of the seriousness of the threat posed to them are also very alarmed about the wellbeing of a 3-digit number of the most harm-resistant people in the entire country.

i'm not an economist but if 900 people can afford to fund $3,000 checks to damn near everyone else in america and still be insanely fuckin rich afterwards maybe they have too much fuckin money

He also apparently dunked his phone in the pool because it had a heat warning, completely unaware that it might be a bad idea on the basis that nobody told him not to do it.

Below is a reply by James Felix Black (@tft.io), also labeled "Bluesky Elder," reading: "It's a form of pareidolia, I think; people have a very hard time with the absolute void at the center of what's happening, and so the pattern matching wetware, with literally no guidelines, goes ballistic."

Reposting this, for reasons:

meanwhile every other trans woman i know who is one of the greatest minds of their generation is begging for meds and fundraising to eat three times a week and starve the rest

Jesse Singal: “I don’t understand why all these experts with degrees keep disagreeing with me. So demoralizing. What could the explanation be??”

you can tell that this isn't a real problem, because if it was this would be written by someone it happened to and not someone who it didn't happen to saying "but if it did that would have sucked."

This is an entire thread very worth reading.

They don't even believe in private ownership of capital, they clearly believe that all capital already rightly belongs to themselves, and if a poor does entrepreneurship, that's stealing your likeness from their rightful claim.

They don't want lots of money, they want all of the money.

Again and again, the rot economy shows that many things are allowed if and only if they violate someone's consent. That you will be punished if you sell images of your own likeness nude. Punished by people who will take your nude likeness and monetize it for their own profit.

What privacy? Meta's smart glasses are filming unwitting naked people Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses are a privacy nightmare, with footage of naked people, sensitive information, and violent acts captured and seen by Meta's AI and an army of employees.

Buried lede: Meta sends all your nudes to Kenya where humans annotate it and feed it to AI

Imagine where we'd be if Tillis had sounded off like this from the start of Trump 2 AND if other Republican Senators had joined him....

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

When you’re president, they just let you do it.

After watching this slimy corporation play host to maraudering ICE nazis here in its home state of MN, there’s no chance our family will shop there again… unless, maybe, possibly, we see it become 7000% more woke then before you became Greg Bovino’s fuckin concierge.

If they had DEI they’d know it was Targét not Tarzhay

TRANS RIGHTS BABY!!!!!

Resist ‘dangerous and socially unacceptable’ age checks for social media, scientists warn Computer scientists are campaigning against the global march toward age checks online.

Over 400 scientists have signed a letter calling for a moratorium on the deployment of age-verification technologies. The letter suggests the widespread deployment of untested AV tech is making the internet less safe.

Certainly not in the amount of time they have left.

It took them decades to build the reputation they threw away in a month.

Given how instantly and aggressively capitulated (the one nearest a college campus that has 1970s San Francisco density of LGBT people didn't even have any Pride stuff last year) I find the explanation that the board already wanted the change and used Trump as an excuse to be pretty credible.

they really might have ridden the anti-woke train all the way to bankruptcy court, an all time brand fuckup that should be taught as a cautionary tale in business school for decades

I'd be more inclined to believe that Graham Platner is merely a dumbass if he was making different kinds of "mistakes" instead of one very specific type of "mistake" over and over

Really hate how people are referring to the US government forcibly detransitioning transgender prisoners as "experimenting" on the prisoners

Call it what it really is: torture. Human rights abuses. Genocide. Stop using their framing of the issue

It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim “adult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer.

In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)
