I would like everything everywhere to stop getting worse all the time

we’ve made it clear that anyone who visits the US could be disappeared into a Salvadoran prison but I’m sure it’s the kids and their avocado toasts who’re to blame

the 5 worst types of “news” story:

• a rich person said a thing
• i asked chatgpt
• [just shameless bigotry]
• maybe the fascists have a point
• young people are doing something and i don’t like it

There has never been a better argument for physical media

This is almost as funny as real life, where the cops said anarchists are hard to infiltrate because they read too much

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

I’ve been saying from the start that these little DOGE demons didn’t appear to be factoring in “you will have to walk around in public and no one is paying for your private security” to their evil schemes

being ostentatiously and outrageously evil has consequences for one’s public life

It's not controversial to get a pre-nup, it protects you both if the relationship ends (all do at some point, one way or another). Life happens, priorities change, people change, protecting yourself is one of the best things you can do, esp if you share kids/finances. But have your own money, please

Stop KOSA KOSA is a censorship bill that won’t make kids safe. Instead, it'll put all internet users at risk, especially youth. If you believe in a free and open internet, tell your lawmakers to reject #KOSA!

keep the pressure on payment processors to reverse their vague stances on NSFW content, but also contact your representatives as a slew of legislation aimed at online censorship have been introduced worldwide, such as the reintroduction of KOSA.

let your voices be heard!!

Being unafraid to try things is how you solve problems. Will it work? Don't know unless you try. Lots of things won't work, the things that do sometimes surprise you, but waiting for the ethereal other person to do it keeps us in this space.

The Anti-Porn Crusade That Censored Steam and Itch.io Started 30 Years Ago Keywords and tags have never been a useful metric for distilling nuance. Pushing for regulations based on them is repeating a 30-year history of porn panic online.

when it comes to porn panics, we're repeating the mistakes of the past every damn day www.404media.co/steam-itchio...

The appropriate response to CBS voluntarily handing the keys to Trump this way is for Democrats to promise that, if they ever hold power again, they will use state power to destroy CBS entirely.

They won't, though, because they're the party of capitulation and failure

Periodic reminder that the cloud is someone else’s computer, and in the case of Google, an evil shit-for-brains computer.

Watching the UK public react to age verification there feels a lot like rewatching them realize what Brexit actually was.

Yes, the leopards are going to eat your face

US lawmakers… take note

Tumblr normal-horoscopes Everyone shut up and look at this carving of a whale from the 1200-600 CE Chumash culture The whale looks delightfully round and seems to be smiling.

We have always made delightful little guys.

We absolutely should not become numb to this

so @itch.io has gone from being an uwu smol bean being pushed around by the big payment processors to just being openly hostile to creators now, i guess

PARIS (AP) — French President Macron announces that France will recognize Palestine as a state.

We are all made of stars, but your RBAC shouldn’t be

I keep reminding my clients that ALL LLMs have bias and that they typically reflect our societal biases.

For anyone who knows how these tools work, this is 100% expected.

There is no method to perform age verification for websites without expanding the impact of any data breaches these websites will ultimately experience.

This is a true "you can't have your cake and eat it too" situation. The data will also be misused by law enforcement, but that's a given.

Microsoft:

All-time high valuation
All-time high revenue
All-time high profits

*Still does mass layoffs*

(Sidenote: probably now is the single best time to hire, or try to hire from the company)

There's 1000 percent some serial killer somewhere pretending to be ICE to abduct their victims right now.

Ted Cruz's rush from vacation after tragedy doubted as flight data revealed Flight data shows Sen. Ted Cruz could have rushed back to his flood-hit Texas constituency after the deaths of 100 people — including 27 girls and counsellors at a summer camp, the Daily Beast reporte...

every time there is a disaster ted cruz's response is basically to say "tough shit" www.rawstory.com/ted-cruz-267...

rideshare companies need a “no tesla” option

Website/device age verification is a privacy and security nightmare and everyone who tells you that this is a solved problem is lying to you.

It’s almost like there are really good reasons legitimate law enforcement doesn’t normally operate masked and in civvies.

NEVER buy anything Adobe. Adobe is the example of what greed does to a company.

No matter how outraged people are; no matter that the FTC is suing Adobe and executives for this practice; Adobe keeps doing it.

I got scammed by this same practice in 2020 the same way: I switched to Affinity instead.
