It's not to "protect the kids". It's to destroy our free speech and privacy, while putting our own data at risk. Call your reps and tell them: -Protect Section 230 -OPPOSE KOSA, SCREEN Act + any other censorship/age verification bills. #SaveSpeech #StopKOSA #Protect230 5calls.org/issue/kids-o...

Hey guys, just so you know there is an anti-Al writing tool, similar to MS Words or more like Google docs. It has all the basic functions for formatting, they don't scrape your writings, and pledged never to integrate Al Oh and it's completely free ellipsus.com

This is quite a post www.planetearthandbeyond.co/p/reality-is...

I cracked open The Drawing Habit and one tip inside that I hadn’t seen before was to practice “nervous” lines as a way to build muscle memory for longer straight and curved lines. Basically, lean into the wobble and make it intentional you you can work on spacing and consistency

Hey so I haven't said anything about this on here yet, BUT! Fuck KOSA. Fuck Net Neutrality being repackaged for the umpteenth time, fuck the way such bills are being pushed as "there to protect children" when they absolutely are not. I was a KID protesting Net Neutrality and the original KOSA-

Alt text, because one would think folks would want news about a general strike to go as far as it can.

As you talk about Greenland, please make sure you are talking about the >56,000 Inuit who have called the Island their home for thousands of years. Here are 2 stories that include their voices, concerns, and hopes. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... canadiangeographic.ca/articles/buy...

Wow this poster from 1941 was strangely prescient, as it's from 1941 and belongs to the commons feel free to have this, do with it what you want

Abolish ICE. A little journal comic from South Minneapolis. #iceoutmpls #iceoutcomics #iceoutofmpls

New poll from Navigator also with an incredible result; the largest drop in support for ICE since June was actually among *Republicans*, 25% of which now say they have an unfavorable opinion of the agency.

reminder that many bills like KOSA - including every time they introduced KOSA over the last few years - has had notable Democrat support in the Senate. This isn't some new thing or shift. They've *been* like this. Always have been.

many of you are too zygotic to remember when, for a solid several years, the only high quality upload of the Azumanga Daioh OP on youtube had anti-vax swine flu warnings edited into it

ALWAYS BULLY BIG CORPORATIONS/ORGANIZATIONS

Extremely dishonest headline: what they mean is that Wikipedia charges data companies for scraping the website. It already does this for Google it is just further expanding this.

"Officers threw flash bangs and tear gas in my car. I got six kids in the car" "His wife, Destiny Jackson, told FOX 9 their 6-month-old infant stopped breathing and lost consciousness. She then performed CPR on her baby."

ICE agents love to wave around paper that looks official. Most of it is a scam — administrative forms signed by ICE supervisors, not real judicial warrants signed by judges. Let's go through what that scam paper looks like versus a real judicial warrant.

Also, a kid in the UK got arrested because of their own #KOSA law giving the government power to track minors on Discord and arrested them for crude messaging. Just one out of 12,000. This is why government surveillance should really terrify you. This has NEVER been about protecting kids online!

"I stumbled across the National Corporate List, which lets you see companies that have previously violated labor standards. It's also shown as a map, but Japan's totally blacked out lol"

Japan gets new Pixiv-like social media platform for artists that strictly bans AI-generated images. Creators can authenticate work as hand-drawn Tegaki has attracted over 5,000 users on its first day, and it comes with an English version automaton-media.com/en/news/japa...

-human tries to use art to perfectly communicate something they see or feel -they fail -in failing, their fingerprints get all over the art -other humans see the fingerprints and find them beautiful, learn something unexpected about the human that created the art which is beautiful

Looks like a pretty big phone outage at Verizon.

A major Verizon outage appeared to impact customers across the United States starting around noon ET on Wednesday. Calls to Verizon customers from other carriers may also be impacted.

Everyone remember to bug your reps to oppose KOSA, the Screen Act and the Section 230 repeal. We can win this, we just have to keep on calling and sending letters. We have now to the end of this congressional year to do it.

KOSA is an attack on trans people. It restricts the public discussion of them online. Their existence is not harmful to society. @fightforthefuture.org www.erininthemorning.com/p/op-ed-with...

any liberal who wants to scream about 'why didn't you people read project 2025!!!!????' should probably have an answer for why so many democrats are supporting kosa given that kosa is a key part of that agenda.

lets say we adopted the four-day work week and tues-fri became the norm do you think this would affect garfield's demeanor? or would he just transfer all that hate to tuesdays

I'll let this video I have saved to my hard drive speak for itself. Keep going and don't be afraid to fail.

“last fall I had this idea for a zine about Dilbert quitting his job and trying to learn to be happy and coming to terms with the fact that he’s trans actually” (posted 4/18/2022)

I know there's a lot of shit going on, but please keep calling your electeds to demand they NOT support KOSA. It absolutely will be used to ban all queer content from the internet for minors, even support lines & information sites.

Sherlock Hound is a gem. Hayao Miyazaki built an idea from an Italian studio into a brilliant adventure series. It was a turning point in his career, and his last TV show. Behind it were clashing visions, young talent and lots of money, as we explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/miyazakis-...

“Abolish ICE” +9% with independent

Hedwig & Merlice #splitworld #ocart

#stopKOSS #savespeech While niether bill has moved, this will be the endgoal of KOSA. To censor "harmful content" for everyone, including kids. Coupled w/ a section 230 repeal/sunset, amd we wouldnt be able to talk about these things. EVER Call your reps. Daily if you can. Tell them to vote NO

It's a new week meaning its a new wave of calls. When calling your House Rep also mention these bills: KOSA SCREEN Act COPPA 2.0 RESET Act Sammy Act App Store Accountability Act GAMING Act Safe Messaging for Kids Act Parents over Platforms Act Sunset to Reform Section 230 Act (1/6)

Reminders: ▫️ A red-to-blue flippable house seat is up for election this coming week. ▫️ We must destroy KOSA. It's a danger to many, many aspects of our lives and the first step to dismantling free speech entirely. ▫️ The Epstein files have still not been released. ▫️ Check your voter registration.

Uh FYI, @fascistdemtracker.bsky.social, thinks KOSA and repeal of section 230 are “good” bills. That was an instablock for me. A lot of y’all are following this account.
