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!

Experimenting with modals for the MRBC and MFBC pages. Reducing initial image size so more can fit on the page. Should allow easier time with Mobile browsing as well. #MRBC #MFBC #MonsterRancher #モンスターファームバトルカード

Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.

derek guy@dieworkwear.bsky.social · 4w ago

A friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?

I did my calls, please do yours!

Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts are amazing even now. He animated the sequence by himself for more than four months -- without computers or even an easy way to check his work. We're looking into how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/how-ray-ha...

This is why the people on Bluesky are here, because the self moderation tools completely diffuse attempts to weaponize your followers into harassment.

John Scalzi@scalzi.com · 2d ago

Bluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit

PSA: It's even worse. Craig not only operated a revenge porn website, but he also was engaging in racketeering by secretly running several shell companies that offered a paid service that would remove your revenge porn *from the revenge porn distro sites he owned*.

Roger (6’5”)@iamtherog.com · 2w ago

Does everyone here know that @craigbrittain.com, who is currently masquerading as an anti-MAGA warrior, was fined in 2016 for operating a revenge porn website? A *lot* of y’all follow him. ⚠️ Marked as unsafe. ⚠️ www.ftc.gov/news-events/...

Hi! My sincerest apologies for posting this often! We're attempting to move out, but we've been hit with the hurdle that the only person with a job here has gotten his salary withheld this month, so we have almost nothing. If you could help donating, or share, it'd be a great help! ko-fi.com/semilia

Today's GNR didn't have much in it unfortunately. So thus, have this instead.
