I cannot stress enough that most ppl don't ever even think about calling their reps. I talk to ppl in my fam about it and they go "Huh? What?". But your reps work for YOU. They need to know what you actually care about. When we call in big numbers it ALERTS them, cuz they rarely hear from us.
Hey romancelandia and fandom peeps! If you live in the U.S. right now you should know that KOSA (along with a slew of censorship bills) are advancing through congress right now. If you care about spicy books and/or fanfiction you should contact your reps right now and tell them to vote NO on KOSA!

I want a button that turns off every AI feature.
All AI features: all turned off. One button.

they keep emphasizing that these are on "known narcotrafficking routes" and like, those are just route-routes. there are not special ocean highways for drugs.
I'm not sure if people realize the murder strikes are taking place across a large region. It's quite staggering.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

If you haven't watched this speech from The American President before.. you should.
I had it pinned for four years on my Twitter account during Trump's first administration, and it's for good reason.

Rob Reiner was an acclaimed actor & director but he was also a vocal critic of Trump
He warned the American public that they only had a year to save their democracy
That year is almost up
Honour his legacy by fighting fascism. Fight for democracy. Fight for what’s right. Fight against tyranny.

I don’t know how to process the horrific fire hose of tragedy that has been omnipresent but has spiked this weekend, and I suspect I’m not alone. We aren’t meant to carry this much suffering and be able to function at “normal” capacity. Be gentle with yourself and others, if you can.

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.
The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

An important piece. With dark forces already seeking to exploit this horrific event we must be extremely vigilant to avoid this: “Calls are already rising for attacks on peaceful protest, free speech and freedom of assembly”.
"While the victims of the massacre at Bondi Beach were still bleeding, Benjamin Netanyahu - architect of the genocide in Palestine - blamed Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese."
