Okay, so I guess people in Texas can't use this app anymore. How many of my friends are going to disappear now? ☹️ Also, this isn't going to stop with Texas. If the KIDS Act or KOSA isn't stopped, this'll be your future, too:

We have a little over 24 hours to save the internet. The vote for a package of internet-freedom destroying bills is being rushed to the US House floor on Monday the 29th. Spread this beyond Bluesky, ASAP. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Listen we still dont have any concrete info on when or even IF Discord will actually implement Age verification, but the biggest reason theyre considering it at all is the looming threat of US legislation like KOSA and more Please contact your legislators and voice your opposition towards them

Dieselbrain@dieselbrain.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Please take the time to contact your representatives and demand that KOSA and other bills are OPPOSED You dont need a big script, you just need to say "i dont want this, oppose these bills" www.congress.gov/members/find...

just as a notice before this gets qrt'd all over my timeline, this is based on no new information and is simply taking this paragraph from a statement in February literally. it's worth being reminded that it's still currently going to happen but this is extremely dishonestly framed

As early as next month, Discord could enable their global age verification measures. #privacy #ageverification theprivacycloud.substack.com/p/discord-wi...

Happy Pride Month!

This our last week without work, but we could still use a few things to make camp a little more livable on this mountain, along with some dog food and potable water.

This is an outrageous story. A farmer donated 87 acres to a small Texas city on the condition it be used as a public park. Years later, the farmer has passed away, the city sold the land to a developer, and now it will be the site of a 135,000 square foot data center www.404media.co/a-farmer-don...

A Farmer Donated Land to Turn into a Park. The City Is Building a Massive Data Center Instead

In 1999, a farmer gave away 87 acres of land to a small Texas town to use as a park. The town sold to a data center developer for $10 million.

this sucks. nashville zoo is one of the most modern, humane, and accessible zoos in the country. if you care about conservation, critters, and science, go sign and go raise hell. nash zoo is also a bastion of science and equality as a southern workplace. please please protect it.

If you see a person with a black and white flag for pride month BEWARE! They'll say it is the "Hetero Pride Flag" but it is REALLY them showing their allegiance to THE BRICKSTER! The scourge of Lego Island, and nemesis to Pepper Roni, local pizza man!

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

the nyt posts this stuff like avoiding AI for 48 hours is hard and meanwhile i have literally never once intentionally used an AI program for anything ever

I do not believe there is a way to be vocally anti AI and still support/play/promote this company’s titles.

The late great Bob McKnight's artwork is at risk of being seized and destroyed if something isn't done about it. His dearest friend and mentee Rob Griggs has set up a GoFundMe to help save his property, including his extensive art archives. Bob LOVED animation and it's history, help preserve it!

PSA for YouTube Creators! Just wanna share this in case you don't want Google to have access to remix your YouTube shorts with GenAI using Gemini! YOU ARE AUTOMATICALLY ENROLLED. Here is what it's doing and how to opt out of said option if you don't want your shorts to be remixed with AI.

btw if you think people shouldn't use the r word, and/or regret doing so as a youth, maybe apply that same logic to using "psychotic" to mean horrible, murderous, terrifying, lacking empathy, dangerous, or stupid 🤝
