Reminder to bitch at your senators for this, and all your reps about Section 230. Keep Section 230 because it protects people better than zero guardrails.
Welp. Annoy the shit out of your Senators because of course Cuellar had to be the lone rat about it.
The SAVE America Act now goes to the Senate.
Democrats are vociferously opposed, and it is subject to the 60-vote threshold.
But does it even have 50 votes? Unclear.
MURKOWSKI is a no.
COLLINS sees "problems" with revised bill, per spox.

I am gonna go out on a limb and say that a Jersey dude so horrified that he went to his first protest and is trying not to cry on camera has a pretty good chance of staying radicalized. And that while Bluesky loves to pick apart things like this, this kinda video moves the needle for OTHER dudes.
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Universities buying into this shit under the guise of "equity" makes me SO angry
Equity for my students would be access to the databases and journals we've dropped subscriptions for. It'd be having a paid human to caption videos and make PDFs screen-reader compatible. Not this shit.

My employer, Univ. Colorado will pay OpenAI $2M/year under the banner of “equity”. That’s 54 full scholarships / year. Plus, our IT will be able to read our chatGPT logs, and our chats can be requested under public records law. No thanks. Surveillance is not equity

Today is my 11th anniversary of being an ordained minister. I literally got ordained to make it easier for folks to get married. I’ve conducted more than a few ceremonies for people I love… and I picked this day because I initially wasn’t a fan of the day and wanted it to mean something to me.

Read this whole thread and allllllll the subposts. This is why professional wrestling is fucking awesome, and why AEW rules. 🤼
Seen several friends react to this and I share the initial snap reaction, but I find myself compelled to go further in on it for people who might not know.
Professional wrestling and by extension, professional wrestling fans are not who you think they are.
And in Mr. Takei's case, they're his fans.

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

“I’m not a white nationalist, i just love hitler’s favorite american law because it kept non whites and jews from coming to America” bsky.app/profile/lets...
when MAGA white supremacists like Carl whinge abt passing of 1965 Hart-Celler Immigration Act they are complaining that it overturned 1924 Johnson-Reed Act, a law limiting immigration to people from Northern Europe, which was drafted by eugenicist Rep. Albert Johnson, with BIG support from the Klan

I would honestly be more helpful on here. If I had solid connects to reputable gigs? I'd reach out to folks and see they get set up as well. I would probably be far more protective of my energy when shit gets rough. But yeah, I would be far more helpful than I think I am rn.
