Source familiar with MasterCard‘s internal workings: The company finds the censorship focus from consumers “profoundly irritating“ amid larger political issues — they want the controversy around paypros censorship to quietly disappear

Ok, annoying but necessary nuance here:

This is AI *upscaling*, not Gen ai. AFAIK, it doesnt scrape media or need data centers. No environmental or ethical concerns as of current info.

HOWEVER, I'd still opt out as it will play havoc with low res. It's like motion smoothing, you dont want it 😅

Starting January 1, 2026, Texas will require age verification to download ANY app, including weather and sports apps—thanks to SB2420. Apple and Google are warning this destroys user privacy, similar laws are coming to Utah and Louisiana, and there's a federal bill to make it nationwide. I break down what this law actually does, why it's dangerous for both adults AND children, and what you can do to fight back before it's too late. Update! Big tech is suing Texas now!

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

Still one of the fav things I've made

Let's keep showing them how profoundly irritating we can be, because they have an easy out. It's right there!

Do not be a doomer about this. Just call your New York friends and remind them to vote, and tell them to do the same. He is more popular and will win with good turnout.

i hate how people and even literature sometimes reduces the concept of an unreliable narrator to 'the book lying to you', not 'you are viewing the world through the eyes of someone who does not see an absolute truth'

Gaza once held our stories. Now we carry its memories. Israel has demolished every corner of Gaza, but we are rebuilding our homes in our minds

“Gaza is home because our memories are etched into every street, & Gazans are the heartbeat of the city.”

Gaza once held our stories. Now we carry its memories, Taqwa Ahmed Al-Wawi vows. “[We will] breathe new life into her again.”

Not only is it going to be a hunger crisis, it's going to be a farm crisis. All those gallons of milk bought from dairy farmers, all the produce, all the on sale ground beef and packs of chicken that are paid for by SNAP are subsidies to farmers who don't qualify for commodities subsidies.

Gonna repost this every time I come across it on socials. 💚

In huge positive news, the Australian government just ruled out handing the work of their country’s creatives to AI companies for free 🙌

They resisted the well-funded tech lobby & shut down proposals to upend copyright law.

Other governments should do the same!

I've said it to death but Disco Elysium's final moment is telling you, the player, "Please, please please please, do not let your political ideology become so all encompassing that you forget to be a person, this is where it leads," and then a ton of people finished the game and did the opposite.

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.

Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.

If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

Rephrasing for clarity, but please do not use F&F (even blank ones) for commission payments; this is and ALWAYS HAS BEEN against ToS.

If you're getting paid for a service, use invoices.

F&F has no protections in place, especially for buyers, and using it to bypass fees is, again, against site ToS.

Two things you can do to help remove RFK Jr:

1) Call your electeds and tell them he needs to go. There's already drafts of impeachment/removal work in both House and Senate. Tell electeds to support them.

2) Sign the petition that'll go to the HELP Committee in the Senate at firerfk.wordpress.com

Here's a way to search all food banks:

After you put in your zip code, if there aren't many results then click on "see nearby pantries" and it'll give you a map with everything on it.

Also drawing fat people is fun. Fat people are so beautiful. The curves and arcs and folds are so elegant and delightful to draw. The form is full and almost musical. Every time I get to draw a fat person its such a pleasure!

If you learn to do it you will see what I mean!

every platform should let you add custom emotes for peak dumb shitposting
