It will be worse than this! Most websites will be forced to ask you to send your ID to a third party surveillance service, adding a credit card won't be enough for most. Bluesky asks for your *social security number* if you live in Texas now, due to this shit. Call in, and kill it.

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.

y’all remember how in the 80s, you would walk into a restaurant and have to specify “non-smoking section?” bc i remember.

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

Oh this one is so hard to answer and fix. I feel your pain. There definitely are lots of folks who substitute "Jew" with "Zionist" in an antisemitic way. I feel like the path forward has to include convincing Leftists that antisemitism harms THEM, Jew or Gentile, and is the socialism of fools/bigots

Anna Menta@annamenta.bsky.social · yesterday

Do you feel like there is any truth to the accusations that saying you are "anti-Zionist" is just a new way of being anti-Semitic? And if so, how can non-Jewish progressives like myself, who are trying to counter Zionist propaganda without demonizing anyone, do better?

And for the really bad news? They've put a target on VPNs. Sites are required to identify (and age-verify) any US citizen, regardless of whether they're using a VPN. In fact, the default is to get the ID and biometrics of EVERYONE unless you can somehow prove their not a US citizen.

"VPNs are a privacy and security tool used by millions of internet users every day, and their use should not be treated as suspect. It is particularly galling that the SCREEN Act forces users who intentionally take steps to protect their privacy to identify themselves."

If SCREEN were to pass, you'd be required to scan your face and upload an ID to access this site because it allows "harmful" material. This affects you even if you don't care about sex work or porn.

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

Microsoft is introducing budget limits for AI use but says it still wants to be an ‘AI-first’ company.

I miss when companies posted the “awards” they got from the ai companies for using over x number of tokens… they were so proud of spending money. What did the companies make with all that compute? Well… “that’s not the right question Chet.”

Me - markets are really complex, not reducible to the mode of production and not straightforwardly a power relation (although so easy to weaponise by power that it is hard to see this). Chuds - state grocery bad. Me - wtf, I'm a Maoist now. Plan all the things.

the whole “governments are bad at distributing resources and market tend to be really good at it” thing is just hilarious, they’ll spout the same lie while the inequality in resource distribution has never been higher in all of human existence.

Markets are great information processing mechanisms for allocation, but only if the information fed into them is correct. Capitalist property rules mean that price formation reflects distorted information inputs, like artificial scarcity and artificial abundance. GIGO.

Charlotte@fireantprincess.bsky.social · 9h ago

let’s be honest, a big reason why markets are so bad at distributing resources is that these very same people that love the free market also do everything they can to make governments police the markets in favor of the rich.
