Spotify Is Forcing Users to Undergo Face Scanning to Access Explicit Content Submit to biometric face scanning or risk your account being deleted, Spotify says, following the enactment of the UK's Online Safety Act.

Spotify is now instituting face scans and ID checks ... to listen to music.

Porn was only ever the excuse. The only thing that surprises me is how quickly the government surveillance mandate has spread to absolutely every service we use.

A disappointing update about VILE: Exhumed...

One of those.
It’s like when critics of postmodernism try to blame it for the “ post truth” era

interesting points but it feels opportunistic to see a backlash against trans people and pin the whole thing on gender skepticism.
Like I don’t mind an academic Dustup but just admit that this is one of the

It’s like the problems with the idea of truth didn’t arise with people questioning it….

So to the problems with gender don’t go away when you transition

Like the best example i can come up with to equate some of the nonsensical views is like when liberal academics blame postmodernism for our current “ post truth” existence .
This is basically the same argument that this person is making about gender skepticism

This article is actually interesting. But i hate it when academics use a reactionary backlash to basically justify them being on the side of a particular beef.
It’s lazy dogmatism

I don't use WeTransfer but sometimes collaborators use it to send stuff to me. I'm gonna have to go out of my way to tell collaborators on my books not to use it.

once again, cis people can get gender affirming HRT, but gods forbid trans people do the same

I put the piece out. I ended up using an archive.ph link bc the daily grind house website had some sketchy pop ups that kept coming up. I also linked your Bluesky in the article

@dekkoparsnip2.bsky.social I’m writing an essay about death stalker the specter files and your article on daily grind house was very helpful

The Republican Party must be defeated, destroyed, and discarded in the dustheap of history if the American experiment is to survive.

I swear some of these republican shitheels would cut off a pound of their own flesh if it got a negative reaction from the democrats

Republicans are allying with alligators now
The gators are like “eh, no thanks”

• UPenn will restore to female athletes all individual UPenn Division I swimming records, titles, or similar recognitions which were misappropriated by male athletes allowed to compete in female categories; • UPenn will issue a public statement to the University community stating that it will comply with Title IX, specifying that UPenn will not allow males to compete in female athletic programs or occupy Penn Athletics female intimate facilities; • The statement will specify that UPenn will adopt biology-based definitions for the words 'male' and 'female' pursuant to Title IX and consistent with President Trump's Executive Orders "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism" and "Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports"; • UPenn will post the statement in a prominent location on its main website and on each of its websites for women's athletics; • UPenn will rescind any guidance which violated Title IX, remove or revise any internal and public-facing statements or documents that are inconsistent with Title IX, and notify all staff and women's athletics of all such rescissions; and • UPenn will send a personalized letter of apology to each impacted female swimmer.

BREAKING

The University of Pennsylvania has come to an agreement with the Trump administration on what the Department of Education said was its Title IX violations.

This will include stripping trans athlete Lia Thomas of her records, titles, and recognitions.

Not only a terrible decision by Supreme Court, it’s a blatant power grab in a series of power grabs by them.
Not only does this embolden the lawlessness of trump administration, this basically says these issues can only be determined by the Supreme Court.

Reddit post: imagine if Kojima and Miyazaki made a game

I wrote some reviews of demos for steam next fest but I unfortunately didn’t play Joshua Roland’s demo for Game in time. That demo is really interesting

I’m seeing a lot of posts on threads amplifying the idea that no kings protests is an op. I think every time Zuck gets nervous he presses the old suppress dissent lever

I got salmonella from eating eggs that were recalled from Safeway.
It’s like “ we can’t afford food safety but let’s spend unlimited money sending troops to shoot at peaceful protesters”

How rubber bullets are meant to be used fired at the ground at an angle to reduce velocity and risk of grevious bodily harm or death supposed to be used from 36 to 72 yards How police are using them Police have repeatedly been recorded firing at protestors and journalists' faces from distances of less than 30 yards Rubber bullets have more than enough force to fracture your skull sending fragments of bone into your brain, causing cranial bleeding Bullets that strike the orbital-socket have the force to completely destroy the eye and penetrate the brain causing death. Since its adoption by police forces around the US and the world, rubber bullets have killed 3% of those they injure and hundreds have been permanently blinded.

More people need to realize what rubber bullets actually are. The name makes them sound harmless. In reality, they're large metal projectiles wrapped in rubber to make them bounce off pavements before striking someone. They can be extremely lethal when fired at someone directly.

Photographer was like:
“Kevin, can you look more smug?”
