THIS IS WHY!!!! WE CALL!!! GREAT JOB EVERYONE 🩷 KOSA did pass the house but remember the senate has a conflicting version. Keep calling, it matters!

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!

They’re scared and that’s very dangerous.

JD Vance: "We don't want the next administration, whoever -- god forbid you're gonna have President El-Sayed in three years ... "

JKR explicitly said she considers anything Potter-related, even fan-made, endorsement of her politics. And every time you engage with this franchise, you signal to the industry that there's still money in it and they should keep pumping out content from full-cast audiobooks to book box partnerships.

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!

I'm starting to see the "this grown ass adult man got hopelessly addicted to GenAI it's not his fault" shit pop up and fuck all of that

If Jennings is the ally he claims to be, he would use his celebrity and privilege to get this lady her account back.

Well, it appears that, sometime in the last 17 hours, Gwen Pepperoni was suspended for the crime of pointing out Ken Jennings' transphobia.

I have a theory that a big chunk of the socialist fear mongering by liberals is really about the fact that it’s perceived as a youth movement and godforbid the young exert political power

I did not expect that Violent Night would get a sequel. I love the first one and I’m looking forward to see the second one.

this guy gets it

Posted on my YT but want to post it here too. Air quality is also worsening allergies and causing dizziness today so I’m all kinds of not presentable.

literally why should any of us care what a cis guy thinks? allyship should be about subverting the harmful status quo that means certain voices are more powerful than others, yet it seemingly continues to be the opposite - rewarding ‘allies’ with continued privileges to speak over others

Very funny to take credit for the guy you tried to make lose to Andrew “Sex Pervert” Cuomo

HUGE: Under Mayor Mamdani, New York City just recorded its safest first 7 months of a year in history—and its safest July ever. In July: Major crime dropped 13% Murder dropped 32% Robberies dropped 15% Vehicle thefts dropped 25% Democratic mayors are putting public safety first.

When disabled people/many people who work on disability/health pointed to the dangers of this kind of framing since COVID, they were usually mocked ("oh you think everything is eugenics") or ignored. But normalising the idea that the deaths of disabled people are desirable/reassuring is dangerous.

Breaking News: Two deaths in Michigan have been linked to cyclospora. Both people who had the parasite also had underlying health issues.

Can't think of a thing that will radicalize a generation faster than "you've gotta let that old man in the corner over there see what's inside those pants before you play Kindergarten volleyball."

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

These people are monsters and worse, without exception.

This will be the US if the SCREEN Act passes. Call your Senators before August 5 and tell them that you oppose the SCREEN Act, KOSA, and the KIDS Act. Use the official lookup tool at www.senate.gov/senators/sen... to find yours by state.

Imagine having a creative bone in your body *and* wasting Mahershala Ali's time.

Mahershala Ali has called out Marvel for ‘BLADE’ never happening. “You had me under contract, they have billions of dollars, if they wanted to do the movie, we would've done the movie... I feel ready to move on from the Blade questions. Those are for them.” (Source: www.gq.com/story/mahers...)

Won't make a difference to the monsters who profit from turning human rights into a "debate" but should be widely shared so the rest of the world affirms that we need to protect trans kids

Canadian researchers found that 97 percent of youth who seek treatment for gender dysphoria still identify as trans years later.

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

NEWS: Trump vetoed a bipartisan water project he'd promised Coloradans. Now, according to Lauren Boebert, the real reason wasn't the fiscal concerns his official veto message cited. She says she was told it was retaliation over Tina Peters sitting in jail.

Man the joetastic shit is funny as hell. tl;dr the clique running the *unofficial* signalis discord server made up some bullshit to ban an artist, and now there's Discourse on puriteens again. This ain't about puritanism. All this reads as a bunch of assholes post-hoc justifying not liking a guy.

Truly a clip we could all post everyday

Hard to overstate how much of a threat leaders and public officials who actually govern and serve the people pose to those whose political careers depend on fomenting cynicism and delegitimizing democracy

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 5d ago

Now this is the kind of trash talk we can get behind. We’re containerizing neighborhoods by taking trash off our sidewalks and allowing mid-size buildings to trade in their wheelie bins for a bigger, better, cleaner alternative: Empire Bins. It’s time to put a lid on it, New York.

Many will celebrate when it happens.

The fact that Stephanie's hand is not seen at all makes this a convincing argument.

Steph has her hand in Cass's back pocket. You can't see it, but I will not be convinced otherwise.
