God I hate hate hate hate HATE the use of 'compute' as a noun and using it makes you sound like you've failed to ever learn English grammar.

SOME GOOD NEWS! continue to contact your reps re: KOSA and the KIDS Act, but also give yourself a pat on the back if you called! Your voice mattered!
Free Speech Coalition@fsc.bsky.social · 7h agoSCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators. More work ahead!
I don't really believe that this is more than someone entering a funny location that's a mix of the places on either side, but dammit I want Back-Shotts Rocks on the southern shore of the Avalon peninsula in Newfoundland to be real.
Guy in instance in VRChat: pronouns listed as "who cares", loves "first responders", into "Norse paganism" and proud member of the LGB Alliance. That's enough dog whistles for an instant block
Not only was she loudly right about everything and reviled for it, in 2017 O'Connor donated 30 years worth of clothes and makeup to trans girls in Ireland.

May cannot get enough of his little plastic springs. We buy them for $1.50 for a pack of 6 at the dollar store. It's been over 2 years since I adopted him and he keeps going back to them.
Cats of Yore@catsofyore.bsky.social · yesterdaySomeone once told me that it's "classist" to advocate for people to have indoor cats because you need to buy them lots of expensive toys. Marcel has been playing with the discarded stem of a fresh green bean for 20 minutes. 🤷♀️
I dunno why I like magical realism so much but so many of my favorite films are most definitely in that vein.

If anyone needs a script for calling their senators today, here's what I said #StopKOSA #SaveSpeech #NodigitalID
![Script for calling senators, August 4, 2026:
Hi! I’m a constituent of Senator [name], and I have two things that I want the senator to know.
First, Trump has nominated Adam Candeub for the Justice Department's Antitrust Division. I would like the senator to vote against his appointment. Among other things, he wants to bring back anti-obscenity laws like the Comstock Act.
Second, KOSA and the SCREEN Act are scheduled to go before the Senate Commerce Committee tomorrow. Whether or not it makes it out of committee, I would like the senator to vote against these bills. They do not protect children, but instead age-gate the Internet, violate our privacy, and put our personal information at risk.
[staff may ask for your address or zip code]
[staff may ask if you have anything else you want to say]
That’s all I wanted to say today.
[staff will likely say they will pass along your message]
Thanks, have a great day!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:e2wk7ytsyd5kkoajilglbq5f/bafkreiaglu6h2oss54lfrc34jk6ddkn6deahqcimcgxucrcpbwadbhkjiu)

BMW when Sony called with the idea: oh thank you kind sirs. we are but a struggling start-up desperate for funds. just trying to make cars that we hope people enjoy, good sirs. thank you for believing in us. of course we will advertise your fine film. to all our drivers
852dude@852dude.bsky.social · yesterdayThis sucks ass. When I start my car I want to be able to put my foot on the pedal and drive off. I dont want to watch an ad. A distracting ad. Right in the middle of my console. Again. This sucks ass.
I haven't been able to stop listening to this for days, and I can't shut up talking to people about it. It's one of my favorite albums of the past 10 years, period, and the best album to come out of the furry fandom since Car Seat Headrest's 'Twin Fantasy' bitdepth.bandcamp.com/album/maybe-...

What can you do? CALL. WRITE. SCREAM. The bill is up for a vote THIS WEDNESDAY. Call your Senator. Dem. Republican. Whomever. Right now, it's a solid R bill, but they're looking for Dems to take it across the finish line. Let them know how badly it stinks. www.defendonlineprivacy.com/screen/

Shut the fuck up and don't lecture me, you're literally a kid. I should never have to listen to the opinions of some 22 year old I've never met telling me I don't understand things.
