They’re describing it as a “shock and awe” campaign, which is why it’s essential to show them there’s huge opposition NOW. Call / email your reps to let them know you oppose censorship bills like KOSA and the SCREEN. Read up and get involved in the @fightforthefuture.org Week of Action.

If it's legally available to buy and sell in the respective countries of origin for buyer and seller, then PayPros have no right to restrict or interfere. It won't end with porn. It will end with PayPros refusing to process payments for content containing speech they do not agree with.

Why can't the right win without gerrymandering? Why can't the right uphold free speech when it isn't about them? Why can't the right mind their own business? Why is the right the party of Fuck Your Feelings until it's time to joke about that mediocre podcaster who caught one in the neck?

Chiitan Knight will continue to spread his message until there are no more transgender people who are subjected to unjustified criticism and slander♡ Let's create a world where we can all love freely🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

This is DEFCON 1 priority, y'all. Call your senators, reps, call your friends and tell them to call their senators and reps about this. Call your grandma and tell her to call her senators and reps about this. What we have here will be *gone* if these bills pass.

Congress is attempting to fast track KOSA and more than a dozen bills that would restrict internet access, censor speech and increase surveillance under the guise of protecting children. Committee hearings begin tomorrow.

What a great headline

So Amazon dropped an AI-generated English dub for the anime Banana Fish...and needless to say, English VAs are justifiably pissed because that AI dub is terrible. It's just as bad as the Super Cube AI dub from a while back. The voices are absolutely soulless and no one should want AI in their art.

South Africa has some of the most extreme wealth inequality in the world. This is a legacy of apartheid, which only ended in 1994. But here's the thing: The median Black South African family only has 5% of the wealth of a white family. The Median Black US family, has only 6%. 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste

As someone who works in the tech industry--absolutely. They are testing the waters. These are top-down orders. The ONLY way to stop it is a visceral negative reaction. Write articles. Post your rage. Email. Post. @. All those things. Only you have the power to kill it.

"Western civilization," the font, the 11 stars - 11 states in the confederacy, for the record. Why is this never news? Why are we letting our government agencies do this sort of thing while the news agencies report on hallucinated trade deals and act like everything is normal

Don't print lies in the newspaper

Happy Thanksgiving. It’s not even 6, I’m about to break down in sobs and we actually have a crowd outside this year for some asinine reason.

I think a lot of what is driving the corporate acceptance of slop is that there's a lot of product managers and producers who don't have a creative bone in their bodies, but this process allows them to role play like they are creatives.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

Soldiers are not cops. Trying to turn soldiers into cops always goes badly. Every single time.

Say the line!!

Crom... Second thanksgiving in three years where I may have food poisoning.

If you haven’t already done so, now’s the time to call your reps and tell them to OPPOSE all of these bills! None of them are designed to protect children - not the App Store Accountability Act, not Sammy’s Law, not the SCREEN Act, and definitely not the amended KOSA!

Next week the House E&C Committee is looking to run something of a shock and awe campaign, debating at least 19 bills that they say are related to "protecting kids online." Most of which are actually about censorship and control. Don't buy the framing. It's always the same damn thing.

You have been visited by the Fray of Good Fortune. Like to thank him for his services and be blessed, reskeet to spread his gifts unto others.

About throwing his teenage lesbian daughter to the streets, and was praised by the other cult members for it. Fuck them. Fuck everything about them. Fuck there money laundering BS SLAVE LABOR UTILIZING BACKWARD ASS BIGOTS

I was sent to SA for rehab and they kicked me out in a manner of days because I couldn't work in their warehouse. They violated a Muslim sent there for parole because they required you to go to church services and on top of that the one church service I went to when there the priest was BRAGGING1/..

remember, Salvation Army is a big NOPE use your extra $$$ for mutual aid groups

It looks like every Irish outlet (that I've seen so far) has just transcribed a wire services report about the Linehan trial that is *dripping* with anti trans bias, misgendering the victim, calling the teenage victim an "activist" but not Linehan, and eliding the fact that the victim was a child

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

He’s an idiot. A dangerous idiot at the head of a dangerous movement—but nonetheless an idiot.

1/3 Massive efforts are being done to ensure states do not regulate GenAI. Regulations like CA’s AB-412. A transparency bill that terrifies Big Tech! On Dec. 8th, there is a major hearing on this bill. We need as many folks to show up! Come join in support of creatives! Rsvp link in thread!

Idk how many times people are gonna have to say "stop using ai it is literally killing us" before people listen. No not even as a joke. don't go near this shit.

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.

When the media and government move to demonise a minority it’s always noticeable how that minority gets denied the concept of including children or minors, as she was 17 at the time.

every author in the class action, please file the claim.

Important update: I have received word from insiders that Crunchyroll executives have deemed the user backlash to be small enough that their subtitle enshittification & OOONA plans will NOT be cancelled, only delayed. I have added an update to the article. There's a summary at the top now too.

Game pictured, for those wondering:

DOGE was always a very thinly disguised con to dress up data theft and extraction class destruction of federal corporate oversight as innovative, and it's important to remember that part of the reason it worked so well is that the press helped legitimize it
