huge +2 to this if i was not given internet access as a child, i would've grown into a homophobic, transphobic, racist and generally bigoted human being.
aegisiondure @equalnotequals.com · 16h agothis isn't very popular to say, but for me personally, it was good that i had unrestricted internet access when i was a minor. i was aware of what i was doing and enjoyed it. i don't look back on it and go "well that was a mistake", i look back on it and wish i could do it for the first time again

We got the Puma sisters in this week's GitS and the fun detail is that they have the same voice actresses as in the second Dominion OVA from 1993, Hisakawa Aya and Kumatani Niina
Seems like an upset might be brewing in the GOP primary in #MI08 to take on Dem Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet. Trump endorsed Amir Hassan, but he currently trails an absolute nobody who suspended his campaign a month ago by a wide margin.

Remember, this Mike Lee creep saying "we need to protect the children" voted against releasing the epstein files. It's not about the children, It's never about the children.
404 Media@404media.co · 23h agoMike Lee's SCREEN Act, which heads to Senate Commerce Committee for markup on Wednesday, would expand age verification requirements to a nearly limitless scope of websites, and is supported by the architects of Project 2025.
The amazing thing is that, because this is happening on a *primary* election, we know what the parties are represented. GOP voters outnumber DEM voters handily in Missouri. But GOP policies are losing by 80%-90%.
Stephen Wolf@stephenwolf.bsky.social · 17h agoRepublican power grabs in Kansas and Missouri are going down in flames with 18-25% of votes reported so far. Missouri's Amendment 4 aimed to make citizen-initiated constitutional amendments practically impossible. Kansas' Amendment 1 was designed to flip the state Supreme Court to ban abortion
The Trump administration tried to use visa denials and deportation to silence researchers who study social media. A court said no. Sunday Tagliasacchi and Elisabeth Snyder, former legal externs at the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, break down the CITR v. Rubio ruling.

One week ago even senior democrats were saying it was probably impossible to restore the VRA. Now Texas is firmly in play. We are still going through it but I hope this is the light at the end of the tunnel.

Australia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage. We traded our privacy for no reason. theconversation.com/more-than-80...

Me: The new agent harness is great. You feed your tokens into the machine. Then you run simulations which, if successful, produces tickets. If they fail you have to buy more tokens and keep running the sims. Once you have enough tickets you can redeem them Boss: are you at dave & busters, yes or no
Half-baked idea: Party commissions a minter to make iron challenge coins. As they travel, they give challenge coins to their hirelings, to merchants they deal with, so if they encounter the party years later, they can say, "We rode with you, we fought by your side."

this is not true. there was no conspiracy. it didn't matter whether the streetcars were publicly owned (seattle, detroit) or private (los angeles, atlanta). a thread (because i wrote a whole-ass book on this): 1/?
David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · 3d agoIs everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy?
