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!

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!

The SCREEN Act just failed to pass in the Senate Commerce Committee! 🎉 Enormous thanks to the thousands (!!) of you who told your Senators to vote no! Your voice matters and you should feel good that you made a difference. Obviously, the fight isn't over, but this was an important victory.

This film of the story is extraordinary, but don't watch it if you're feeling in any way fragile. youtu.be/4oxP3TyuQx0?...

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/

The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us

A strip done in collaboration with the @humanartistry.bsky.social , starring Question Hound as he gets some unwanted help for a comic he’s working on:

"Jailbreak" -- "It's about time you got here, Rookie. I've been cookin' alive in here for days, it's no wonder they call this joint 'The Kiln'. Whoa, you swiped the master key from the warden? Not to shabby, bud. Now be a good Rookie and help me outta this; I need a shower like, yesterday."

there's no other way to frame this except that ai companies and users are fundamentally against human society in every way

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.

AI labs buy, scan, shred millions of rare books

If you have retreated to physical books because the internet is too full of AI slop, bad news — now they’re shredding the books to feed their AI slop machines.

Tomorrow is the deadline for submitting comments-- please take the time to speak up for Chaco while you can!

The asshole administration is planning to remove the mining buffer around Chaco Canyon in New Mexico. This is being done without tribal or expert input and the public comment time is incredibly, and cowardly short. Please comment to help try and save Chaco. www.koat.com/article/chac...

we're not going to win by hating things that are awful. we're going to win by supporting the things we love.

It's not enough to be against AI, you need to be pro art. You need to be a champion of the art you love, you need to share that passion and joy, and do what you can to support the artists who make it, because it's not enough to hate AI, to hate what it's doing to art and media; you gotta love.

"Quick Rinse" -- "...so anyway, the cops FINALLY arrive and in no time they've got my handsome mug plastered all over the news cycle for 'Public Indecency'. And NOW I'm on community service to YOUR crummy planet 'till the fine is paid. It's a good thing these stalls have some privacy, eh 'pal?"

"Quick Change" -- "Listen Rookie, I appreciate ya goin' out and grabbin' me something in my size to wear while we're stuck here, but please be honest with me about me one thing. Is my ass still dynamite in this? Good, I figured. Let's do this."
