KOSA, SCREEN and a lot of US bills are going through a hearing today. Calling the committee and *in your own words* explaining why these impact you negatively would do good. democrats-energycommerce.house.gov/committee-ac... Main Office: (202) 225-2927 Majority Office: (202) 225-3641

Amazon has now backed out of this project after sustained community opposition. But this fight isn't over, and another tech giant could try to step into Amazon's place.

The Trump administration said it will withhold federal SNAP funding from more than 20 Democratic-led states unless they turn over sensitive personal data about program recipients to the Trump administration.

be the bitch doing something yourself that you want to see in the world

🚨🚨🚨 The House Energy and Commerce committee is holding a hearing TOMORROW DEC 2 on multiple "online safety" bills. It's a 19-package bill FILLED with age verification and censorship that they want to ram through and force on the American population. WE CANNOT LET THEM

i’m genuinely so convinced all of this has been a planned operation by the student and her mother (who is commenting on this publicly, and associated closely with the republican party), and big far right propaganda account going all in on it. this is designed to oust trans people from public life

good news

never in my life have i ever been humbled for my hick ass accent as badly as when a friend of mine in a call pointed out that i say mikerwaye instead of MICROWAVE

i played this game when i was like 13 because it was up in a steam sale for a couple dollars or something and i think it permanently altered my brain chemistry. absolutely fantastic shit here. its been almost a decade and i still adore soma

I have said before and will say again that it is such a loss that we no longer get covers of this caliber for fantasy books. This art is by Jean-Léon Huens. These covers are for the Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. They lit my imagination on fire as a kid.

always so odd to me how many people care about stream numbers. feels like they don’t actually care about the music at all. one of my favorite albums of all time is from a band that gets like 2,000 streams a month. art is not measured by level of consumption

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from. tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this. 🧵⬇️

"A mountain walked or stumbled." Wanted to finally do an interpretation of Cthulhu from H.P. Lovecraft's The Call of Cthulhu!

I really appreciate that @pbsnews.org ended the interview with this graphic. It captures, in the simplest and starkest terms, the brutal arithmetic driving this country's homelessness catastrophe.

same thing I do now (but with an exponentially better quality of life)

Siren Alligators might be the most specialized human predators. These pack hunters have two distinct ways of mimicking our species. Juveniles thrash in the water near ships, using their face-like throat markings to appear like a drowning person. The pack attacks when someone attempts a rescue.

What a great headline

The Trump admin has decided it will no longer commemorate December 1st, World AIDS Day. Fed employees have been instructed to refrain from publicly promoting World AIDS Day through any communication channels, including social media, media engagements, speeches, or other public-facing messaging.

Reinstate Goran NOW. Literally the only thing he's ever used his platform for is posting cool art and fundraising for people trying to survive a genocide.

all stanning of popes is necessarily conditional, the Church is the Church, but the man said AI won't stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God's creation so with all our conditions intact yes we stan

6 people have died from a nationwide listeria outbreak. 31 babies have been hospitalized with botulism from contaminated baby formula. Instead of firing crucial FDA employees & attacking the agency, Trump should be hiring more experts to crack down on these dangerous outbreaks.

Love is the answer and unfortunately that's super fucking gay

growing up constantly consuming horror media via movies and books and art and stories thinking "wow. there really isnt anything that bothers me actually. i am so desensitized to this" n then one day out of nowhere something punches you square in the gut and sparks a fear you didnt even know existed

HEY GUYS

seeing discussion AGAIN about how fanfic writers (that is: HOBBYISTS) need to just shut up and put up with unsolicited "concrit" and I'm very tempted to post the guidelines I was given for doing critique from the last writing class I did.

i don't really like to give creative advice so much anymore, but i hope i can at least encourage other creators to stop writing under self-inflicted disney s&p

genuinely says so much about what twitter has become that the biggest rightwing grift accounts pushing US fascist narratives aren’t real people and not even close to the united states

Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art. Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.

you do have to do it in a couple of places but this tutorial makes it easy to go uncheck the boxes that otherwise lets Google's AI read all your shit. or move everything over to protonmail but moving everything over is a giant thing I know.

shoutout @esqueer.net for constantly standing 10 toes down against KOSA. love (hate actually, because it means the bill is still here lol) to see the law breakdown of this horrific bill. everyone should watch this and then spend some time pressuring congress against voting for this bill
