The SCREEN Act is not just another age-verification bill — it goes much further than anything passed at the state-level or in other countries. 1. The bill doesn't just target porn sites. It goes after *any* site that allows material "harmful" to minors. You'd have to scan your face to use Google.
Holy shit, y'all, the Game Industry Hardship Fund bundle has passed its $100K goal. The new stretch is $200K, and I think we can get there. You get 100 great indie games for ten measly bucks, and all proceeds go to help devs left jobless due to Corporate Bullshit (TM). itch.io/b/3802/game-...
Once again for those at the back: ‘Don’t speak ill of the dead’ is about your great aunt Elsie, who liked a long gin with a short tonic at elevenses, and blew your inheritance money betting on the horses. Speaking ill of absolute monsters is a moral obligation, actually.
this is why there are no good cops, if you try to be a good cop then you won't be a cop for long

This is Loki, our Maine Coon and the cat of our hearts, and he went missing today. We have no idea how he got out, but he’s an elder, indoor cat, the whole region’s in an intense heat wave, and we’re really scared. I doubt I have any followers here in Martinez, CA, but if so, help? It’s SO hot
This is awesome! Maybelle Blair pitched in the original Women’s Baseball League in the 1940’s . Here she is throwing out the ceremonial first pitch of the WPBL.

JunkboxJim@junkboxjim.bsky.social · 4d ago"The president is exasperated. I don't think he believed it was going to be this difficult to get the Iranians to agree to a deal." Which is why he thought he didn't have to have a fully thought out strategy with considerations of alternate "what if" scenarios worked out in advance.
If you happen to be in Harrogate this summer you can spot what I've been working on this year! I designed 13 colorful LEGO dinosaurs in total, ranging in size from a big T-Rex right down to a small Velociraptor. 🦖🦕 #lego
I hate putting my personal stuff out here, but I could use some help. I need to find a roommate for my place. I have a 3 bed 2 bath in Chicago with a free bedroom. I use one room as a studio. The place is 90% furnished. Me and my cat will be the only folks here. Its a big place.
I think it also revealed just how quickly a bunch of otherwise very hard problems can be to solve with global collective action. The fuckin Ganga was running clear water for the only time in my lifetime because for 2 weeks nobody threw garbage in it. The canals in Venice had fish.
Dave Andress@davidandress.bsky.social · 4d agoCovid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause. That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.
I hate that we cant have nice things without some heavy trade off. Like I miss my smartwatch. But it just got so invasive for awhile.
"A study done in Phoenix done by Arizona State University found data centres can increase air temperatures by up to 4 degrees Fahrenheit in downwind neighbourhoods. The waste heat given off by one data centre as it cooled itself exceeded the amount produced by 40,000 households."
CNN@cnn.com · 6d agoNew research suggests data centers have an alarming and overlooked environmental impact: heat pollution. CNN's Laura Paddison reports.
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

Ada Palmer@adapalmer.bsky.social · 6d agoEndometriosis takes nine years to diagnose. That’s about to change. NICE has approved two tests: a saliva test reading microRNA markers, and a gut-sensor test returning results in 45 minutes, sparing women the keyhole surgery currently needed. buff.ly/QX3jHk8 #ShareGoodNewsToo
