🚨 KOSA UPDATE The added "duty of care" standard would force websites to identify minors to avoid legal risk, pushing the internet toward ID checks, facial scans, mass age-gating, excessive data collection and censorship FOR EVERYONE. Next comes a full Senate vote. Contact your senators NOW. (1/2)

King County Boomers Have Turned In FOUR TIMES As Many Ballots As Voters Under 35 This Election

The 2026 election could be another “change” election with younger challengers aiming to unseat longtime incumbents in several State legislative races around Seattle. But these young, scrappy candidate...

Absolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis. You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West

Okay, I am going to tell a little story. It's one I have saved for the last couple years, almost nobody knows about it. But it lives in my heart. I don't know how others will feel about it, maybe something, maybe nothing. It's about the Uncanny X-Men. 1/

Idk man I think a worker owned collective of journalists who aren't afraid to report complicated situations of harm in our industry is really good and I'd like to see it continue and hopefully one day expand. I'd love for said journalists to be able to earn a livable wage while doing it too. 💙

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*.

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/...

This is an incredibly scummy move from Dark Horse. The job of a senior editor (at least in my experience) is to be a highly skilled keeper of knowledge. Senior editors aren’t specialized in managing people. So either they take on new responsibilities they didn’t ask for or they take a pay cut. 👎

I have no beef at all with Nolan's Odyssey, but the truth of this post cannot rationally be argued.

@seandacey.bsky.social · 3w ago

I haven’t seen The Odyssey yet, but I know they screwed up the movie with their casting decisions. It should feature a Greek actor like Jason Mantzoukas. And a bunch of Muppets.

for a very long time the republican party has been moving towards people who actually believe the slop they consume instead of people who view it as a tool, but the slop has been moving as well the fox news grandpas are now being outflanked by the groypers in the fever swamps

Apple charges people ~20% more than the Patreon list price and they keep the difference for themselves. They also hold the proceeds of iOS app sales for 75 days, making it impossible for creators to accurately predict earnings. They basically inserted themselves in order to rip *more* people off

JK Rowling funding her trans exterminationist campaigns by selling children's books to liberals 🤝 the NYT funding their trans exterminationist campaigns by selling puzzle games and recipes to liberals (and also for both, cis people will get really upset at trans people asking them not to)

mady castigan✨ 🏳️‍⚧️@mady.cat · 6d ago

In other words, NYT is increasingly becoming a gaming and recipe company, with revenue from that business helping subsidize the higher costs of their journalism (which has been weaponized in favor of trans genocide). They depend on liberals not caring enough to boycott them.

Another death in ICE custody: Prisciliano Trejo Ricano. He said this before he died:

Prisciliano Trejo Ricano began feeling ill while detained at a Georgia detention center, where he had been for three weeks. He reported that he had not received medical attention after experiencing severe symptoms. He died on Wednesday, July 22.

Yeah so NYT asked me ~2 yrs ago to write an op-ed about how the Colorado is running dry, & what we should do to keep this exact thing from happening. I said "There's only one real answer. Bill farmers by how much water they use. Duh." NYT editorial staff freaked tf out & cancelled the piece.

saw an article today about an az politician saying how great it was that we're now in emergency drought conditions because the farmers get automatic bailouts and I feel like way more Professional Rural Understanders just breeze by sentences like that. www.paysonroundup.com/news/arizona...

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Disability is the only minority you can join at any time. Fighting for OUR rights, is fighting for YOUR rights in the future. We're all in this together, don't leave the vulnerable behind, lest you become one of us.

Grant Stoner@supercrip1994.bsky.social · 2w ago

Happy 36th anniversary of the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act. To this day, disabled people still can't get married, and our rights are actively being challenged over and over. True disability inclusion happens when we're equals to our able-bodied peers.

really not a fan of how recent displays of even very light, inoffensive support for trans people have been met with transphobes complaining to the mods and the mods genuinely intervening that it is in fact not allowed
