*sigh* so RFK Jr. is pushing a meat and coleslaw diet on everyone in the administration based on a book by a dietician who is a never wipe your own ass guy and Rubio has gone on the record saying that he doesn't follow the diet because he enjoys pop tarts too much
I think a lot about how many states keep loosening oversight of homeschooling while other people get this kind of punishment for their kids just being outside
Reason Magazine@reason.com · 2d agoA mom of five was convicted last week of delinquency of a minor. Her offense: allowing her 5-year-old son to walk about a half-mile by himself in their gated community. The government also placed Karyann Parkinson on its child abuse and neglect registry, where she will remain for seven years.
First time in history where the "video games cause violence" people are right

Even if you're completely on Bluesky's side on this, thinking that quoting a Johnny Cash lyric in an obvious joke about a Johnny Cash article should be treated like a serious death threat, What the fuck do you mean, "Our mod team's turnaround time on responding to Death Threats is a month?"
Bluesky Safety@safety.bsky.app · 10mo agoCORRECTION: The post was made on Oct 10. Due to a backlog in cases, our mod team didn’t review and take action until Nov 11, which is when we engaged with the account owner about the reason for suspension.
I would 100% support a law that says if any digital platform removes your access to media you paid for then they are required to refund you the entirety of the original purchase price. That would solve this whole thing in a hurry.

(Then I learned that in a MAJORITY of teen pregnancies the father is >20 years old and the proportion of adult fathers INCREASES the younger the mother is and, yeah, maybe teen pregnancy IS proof of a deeply wicked society actually, just, not the teen being wicked!)
I remember growing up conservative and teen pregnancy was the downfall of modern society and proof we were living in the wicked last days before Jesus came back but okay
Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social · 3d agoFox News complains that underage teenage girls aren’t getting pregnant enough: “The problem is teens and young adults. From ages 15-19, the fertility rate is down 70% in the last 2 decades, which means we are telling people who are young not to have babies.”
won't provide Vitamin K to girls to prevent life-threatening brain bleeding; will provide Vitamin K to boys in order to do unnecessary genital surgery (brain protection incidental)
Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD@elizabethjacobs.bsky.social · 2d agoParents refusing the vitamin K shot for their newborns has increased by 57% in 2026 alone. This puts their babies at risk for brain and GI bleeds. Rate of refusal is higher for girls than boys, as some hospitals won’t circumcise male infants unless they’ve had the shot. RFK Jr. caused this.
It's wild* how Pichai's takeaway from realizing his bubble's wobbling is "prop up AI!" & not "gosh why do we keep weaving speculative hype through fundamental systems to the almost sole benefit of the already-wealthy, & what does that say about our economic system?" (*Not wild at all; v predictable)
Google boss says trillion-dollar AI investment boom has 'elements of irrationality'
In an exclusive BBC interview, Sundar Pichai hailed artificial intelligence as an "extraordinary moment" but said no company would be immune if bubble burst.

This is absolutely spot on. We need to do better.
Sandy Ernest Allen@sandyernestallen.bsky.social · 2d agoMost people who've never been abused are — full offense — truly clueless how this stuff works and they'll quickly and eagerly ally with the abuser, because that's what feels easier. They'll assume victims are somehow exaggerating or something. They ignore the situation, again just feels easiest.
What percentage do we have to hit before we can just say Americans, generally speaking? As in, “For Americans, generally speaking, a ‘minimal quality of life’ is out of reach,…” — 67 percent? 75 percent?
Chad Loder@chadloder.dev · 2d ago"Bottom 60% of households" is a wild phrase
Same energy of the fencer who refused to fight a trans opponent, who it turns out regularly competed in coed tournaments :P
John Cluverius@johncluverius.bsky.social · 3d agoIn 2024, Moulton said he didn't want his daughters, then 3 and 6, to be "run over on the playing by a formerly male athlete." the in-town soccer league they would have been eligible to play in WAS COED AT THE TIME. Oh, and he gave an absolute loser non-apology about it.
good thread and can imo be more generally applied to fringe or fringey political movements and other violent/antisocial tendencies
Pookleblinky@pookleblinky.bsky.social · 3d agoTransphobes enjoy describing gender affirming surgeries in the most vividly gory ways possible for the same reason anti-abortion people love gore pictures of fetuses: they get off on the gore and enjoy the reactions it elicits from other people. It amuses them to describe things as torture.
not now kitten, daddy's path is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men.
absolutely wheezing at an Instagram clip of comic Stevie Martin (who I love from being a maniac on Taskmaster) claiming that Shakespeare only had three plays: 1. “I’m Not a Good Monarch” 2. “I’ll Pretend To Be You, You Hide Behind That Plant, and We’ll Both Marry Her” 3. “The Lion King”
So, in the SAG-AFTRA video game strike of 2016--not the most recent one--SAG-AFTRA attempted to codify residuals to voice actors for games. The game companies--predictably--fought back against that. What was interesting, though, was the behind-the-scenes talk of *why* they fought back. <cont'd>
Lia@liasae.bsky.social · 3d agoTo me this has been in the works for a while (we just called it outsourcing and ignored it while it affected more niche professions like 2D artists on large projects). And if we had solid guilds and a revenue model with residuals that support time spent between projects it might even be almost good!

Oh, so now they’re *literally* saying buying isn’t owning. Well look at us, Sony, we’re the captains now.
VGC@videogameschronicle.com · 3d agoSony says "reasonable consumers" know they don’t own the digital PlayStation games they buy.
