To be clear, the Senate version of KOSA passed today is completely different than the House version that passed earlier this year, making it very unlikely to become law. The Senate knows this yet they are committing to the farce of acting on kids safety.

The image features a vibrant red background with a quotation prominently displayed in white and bold black text. The quote is attributed to Sarah Philips, the Campaign Director for "Fight for the Future." The text discusses the inadequacies of Congress in regulating Big Tech companies and emphasizes the need for meaningful action rather than superficial proposals. Below the quote, there is a rounded photograph of Sarah Philips, who has long, dark hair and is smiling, wearing a black shirt. The design includes playful elements such as a heart icon and a stylized signature underneath the photograph, adding an engaging and impactful look to the overall message about political accountability.

SCREEN failed to pass out of committee, despite a 15-13 vote (in favor). Not enough members voting, but looks like a party line vote. Good work everyone! Keep up the pressure for after recess and beyond!

If SCREEN were to pass, you'd be required to scan your face and upload an ID to access this site because it allows "harmful" material. This affects you even if you don't care about sex work or porn.

A reminder that while you should still absolutely call / email your reps over KOSA, SCREEN, and any other ACTs trying to brute force ID verification, tomorrow is a markup. A markup is not the same as a full Senate vote. Despite what happens on the 5th, it won't be a 'done deal' for a while.

Urging ya’ll to please do this! It only takes about an hour in total to call all these senators. Or, if you don’t want the trouble, just under a minute or so to call your senator listed. Don’t be afraid to tell them what you think, and to emphasize the word NO. They know when you say the word no.

Here is a list of all the Commerce Committee senators who will be voting on KOSA and the SCREEN Act amongst others tomorrow. We need all their phones ringing off the hook in opposition TODAY! You have no excuse. CALL. Even if they're not your senator. Be polite, but tell them to oppose this!

Since Max G has become a current topic, I just wanna point out the time he drew my teen PPG designs. This was during a period on Twitter where a drawing of mine became a subject of controversy, and it was nice seeing a big artist like him stick up for me in a way.

OK KO premiered 9 years ago?! Today, the show is not available to stream legally but is being kept alive by a devoted fanbase who I hear from all the time. You guys are the best. Thank you for watching the show!

Trying to make anything AI-related to anyone is already bad enough, but trying to get kids to indulge in it is a special level of low. You might as well be treating them like idiots in doing so and children should never be exploited like that.

It's been a while since I saw a company shoot themselves in the foot badly and Sony doing that with their stupid physical media phase out for PlayStation and stubbornly refusing to move after the backlash is just bewildering. I hope the blowback is harder than before.
