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.

Mike 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.

Boy it sure feels good today to have let my HWA membership lapse.

That said, let us take a moment to thank our Bluesky Trans and Furry Elders for freaking out Jack Dorsey so much he bolted and left us this nice social media playground, taking most of his crypto chuds with him. We thank you for your service.

When the internet was first around it used to scream at us every time we tried to connect to it. We should have listened.

....yeah, so I'm going to go on the record here as feeling VERY UNCOMFORTABLE with examining the "reproductive anatomy" of first graders wanting to join the softball/soccer team. Can we just, you know, NOT?

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

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

a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...

It is funny that as more people get duped by AI, the response more frequently seems to be to insist that the models are developing godlike intelligence and we all need to be sooo careful when the real lesson is clearly that the human psyche can get absolutely one-shotted by personalized flattery

Something about this canceled AI crime novel saga feels sus to me. I can't put my finger on it but something ain't mathing

remember how the Hogwarts House founders were all like "yeah we know Slytherin is a fascist but we need to listen to his ideas too" do you think that might be relevant to Rowling's political beliefs

And tomorrow... we're open to submissions! (Always read the label)

Garbage trucks could soon be spying on you. Officials in Cape Coral, Florida, recently considered equipping sanitation trucks with AI-powered cameras that would photograph properties as crews complete their normal collection routes.

150,000 marched yesterday in London for trans rights. Opened the Sky News app. Scrolled and scrolled. Nothing. BBC News app. Nothing. Guardian app. Nothing. This is what actual silencing looks like.

Politeness is the glue that holds society together. We are all expected to do our part—a pressure ripe with horror. Rotten, even. Whether we adhere to this contract or defy it, there are consequences....

Malls are awesome. How did we ever allow these cultural institutions to fade. This may be my most Millennial take ever, but it's time for the shopping mall to come back in a big way.

Guys if you're in the #Albuquerque area please come buy a book from me at Cottonwood Mall to prove I have not slipped into the backrooms.
