SCREEN 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!

Please contact your senators about the SCREEN ACT, which is moving through the senate commerce committee TOMORROW And while youre at it, demand opposition to KOSA and the KIDS Act as well! www.congress.gov/members/find...

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/

Stop-mo PNGtuber for @foxander.bsky.social in the style of Fantastic Mr. Fox. Foxander messaged me about the idea and it seemed so cool! He sent me drawings and screenshots for the idea I got to work, it took a bit, but I streamed most of the process and am happy with the result! #3dart #vtuber

In addition to removing their latest report into the links between ‘gender critical’ transphobes and the far-right anti-rights movement @amnestyuk.bsky.social ALSO deleted this previous report to appease billionaire bigots! 😣 But you can read it here… 👉🏻 drive.google.com/file/d/1PSsa...

shoutout to the brave people who compiled these reports knowing that they were probably going to get litigated out of existence as soon as they dropped, the info is out there now and no official apology can change that. keep em circulating

Amnesty International UK caved and removed two of their anti-rights briefings: - “Like a Snowball: The Growth and Impact of the Gender Critical Movement in the UK” (May 2026) - “A Growing Threat – the Anti-Rights Movement in the UK.” (July 2026) Both contain 'gender critical' as a new category […]

Here is how I get out of Youtube copyright claims. I use this general format and it works 98% of the time, I swear (just, y'know, make sure you ain't lying and the video *is* Fair Use, and personalize the dispute to be specific to that video.) ✨You're welcome!✨

Still looking for and listening to new artists on @subvert.fm exclusively. It's a co-op, anti-AI, with no fees, so I want to support it as a platform, as well as the artists who use it. Check it out! 🎶 (As always, if you sell your music, I ask you as a hard-of-hearing goth to include your lyrics!)

The other day I joined subvert.fm to support musicians there. If you're a musician who uses it or is thinking of doing so, feel free to let me know. Lesser known sites from which to buy and support artists can't get traction if we don't share them!

Car with an NYPD jacket and badge in the windshield actually got booted for illegal parking! Zohran proving the impossible can be possible

Even better: it's a sheriff boot due to large accrued unpaid fines 👀

Never forget that they had to spend trillions of dollars, build massive data centers, consume millions of galloons of water and insane amounts of electricity, just to kind of do what you can do better with your imagination and a cup of coffee. That's how envious they are of what you can do.

AI music and AI artwork are not allowed on Subvert

huge new post on my main site! made the 4m8s YMF262 "chip time wizard" for the wildchip half of the battleofthebits metal major. my first real step after the short and focused music on my fm computer 3 the event felt 80s so I went more 70s and when I got there I started making longer songs

"All of the AI projects we have observed as a team are failing. Every single one – we have seen 0% success in a year and a half, not only amongst projects we have been asked to participate in, but even within projects that we have observed in passing" ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/ai-mani...

Why do we need all these datacenters? Well, consider this: every scam email you get now also has a whole fake website filled with fake content to make the sender domain look legitimate. And that has a team of fake employees with fake bios and fake publications. So you see how quickly it adds up

On Tuesday, a New Jersey town pulled $91M out of Citizens Bank over its business with ICE prison contractors GEO Group and CoreCivic. Yesterday, Citizens announced it was ending its relationships with GEO and CoreCivic. Money managers should DIVEST from $GEO $CXW www.nj.com/essex/2026/0...

This N.J. town just pulled $91M from Citizens Bank over ICE

Two N.J. municipalities have now pulled more than $330 million combined, according to the De-ICE Citizens Bank coalition.

Mamdani left soccer field lights on all night…..the lights usually go off at 10pm. They set a camera up and guess what they saw?? Residents playing soccer with their friends ALL NIGHT. One man said how much he loved it because his friends work late and can’t get to the field before 10pm.

CDs and SACDs just keep existing, if you treat them well. Some ketamine-jacked techbro can't arbitrarily decide to remove the files from your library...and the techbros all *hate* that. Buy CDs & a decent player. Reward yourself with physical media!

I need y’all to get into the fact Mamdani watched the World Cup match at Rikers. With incarcerated folks. AND…he’s shutting that MF down. Give this man the Nobel.

Happy Labor Day! Today we're bringing you The First Union, as told by HBomberguy (@hbomberguy.bsky.social) and illustrated by Skutch (@skutchdraws.bsky.social) It's the dawn of the industrial revolution, and of the way many of us work... Have you ever heard of the term "Luddite" from an elder?

New: the highly controversial AI music generator Suno was hacked. The hacker sent us Suno source code; it shows the company scraped YouTube Music, Deezer, and Genius. In all, Suno scraped *decades* worth of music from the internet. Obviously didn't pay artists www.404media.co/hack-reveals...

Hatred of AI now reaching the level of cultural consensus that becomes attractive to advertisers

Happy International Non-Binary People's Day!
