SCREEN ACT: -full age verification. (biometric scans, ID uploads, background checks) -Deeply unsafe for personal and data privacy. Security/data breaches are rampant, and uploading so much sensitive data to every single we site is just asking for mass ID theft. -id verification is much, much harder on small websites than larger ones, creating a chilling effect and stifling speech for anyone that isnt a massive corporation -draw comparison to UK's OSA [online safety act] and the backlash it is receiving KOSA: -creates "duty of care,” meaning that tech companies and platform giants would be required to take steps to prevent potentially harmful encounters, such as posts about eating disorders and instances of online bullying, from impacting minors. -who gets to decide what is or is not "unsafe for minors"? Especially under the current administration -it will block access to important info minors could use to keep themselves safe or advocate for themselves. Ex: sex ed. -the vague nature of the bill will almost certainly be used to target LGBT content under the guise of "protecting children"

"A.i." doesn't empower anyone. It strips them of belief in themselves and the power of their own minds and hands and abilities and stories.

EVERY KID CAN DRAW. EVERY KID CAN TELL STORIES AND MAKE COMICS.

Fuck "A.i." for telling kids lies and making them less-than.

Be aware that another shitty bill has been introduced: The SCREEN Act.

If passed, it would require Full. Age. Verification.

Like KOSA, call all your reps & tell them what a horrible idea this is.

Spread this pls.

Again: Marginalized people are disproportionately harmed by the spread of "AI" because the people who use it are essentially being trained to think the machine is "like us" & can speak "for us," even as it simultaneously pressures you to disbelieve *Actual Us* when we tell you "it's not & it cant."

Generative AI changes what things mean because it focuses on words, not the meaning. It adds words, changes meaning, and makes "plain language" that is not accessible. We know, because we tested it. Generative AI has no place in plain language. autisticadvocacy.org/2025/07/asan...
Grey textured background. In the bottom right corner, there is a red circle with a line through it. Inside there is blue text that reads AI. Black text reads: ASAN Says No Generative AI in Plain Language! Full plain language statement on our website. The ASAN logo is at the bottom. Dark grey textured background. There’s a lighter grey box with text that reads: Artificial intelligence is when a computer program does things that normally need to be done by humans. We call artificial intelligence “AI” for short. There are lots of different kinds of AI. The way AI works is by using data from people. Data is information a computer can read. AI programs read data made by people to understand what to do. Generative AI is a specific kind of AI. Generative AI can use data to make new things. Generative AI can create many kinds of new things, like: text images music/movies and more People have already started using generative AI to write plain language. Grey textured background. Text reads: In our statement, we explain the reasons why people should not use generative AI to write in plain language. Plain language is an important part of making things accessible for people with disabilities. Using generative AI makes “plain language” that is not actually accessible. We hope anyone who writes in plain language will not use generative AI. Here are the reasons we talk about in our statement: Generative AI changes what things mean Plain language is an idea that is too new for generative AI to understand Generative AI focuses on words, not ideas Generative AI has discrimination built-in Plain language is by and for disabled people Read our full statement to learn more about each of these reasons. Dark grey textured background. There is a blue “AI” with a red circle and line over it. The ASAN logo is at the bottom. There’s a light grey box with the following text: ASAN does not use generative AI for plain language. We hope people writing in plain language understand why you shouldn’t use generative AI for plain language. People writing in plain language should always talk to disabled people first. People with disabilities can give feedback to make stronger plain language papers. We do not need AI to do this work when we already know disabled people can. Nothing about us without us!

Welcome to the weekend! You made it sailor. Which censorious payment processor would you like to call first? Thanks to my moot @dieselbrain.bsky.social for the Stripe number, can confirm it works

stop-paypros.neocities.org
MasterCard • 914.249.2000 (Global Headquarters, US) • 636.722.6100 (Operaction Center, US) • 971.4.391.4200 (Dubai HQ) • 305.539.2300 (Latin America HQ) • 914.249.6518 (North America HQ) • 1-800-627-8372 (US Only) • 1800-120-113 (Australia) • +1-636-722-7111 (International) • customer_support@mastercard.com • List of executives' Linkedin profiles Visa • +1 650 432 3200 (Headquarters, US) • 1-800-847-2911 (US + Canada) • List of phone numbers by region • 1-888-289-9322 (Confidential Compliance Hotline) • askvisa@visa.com PayPal Unfortunately, PayPal doesn't have any e-mail address, as it uses its website's customer support. You will need to log in to your PayPal account if you wish to access Customer Support lines or messages. Here's a few lines we found so far : • 1-402-935-2050 (US + Canada) Dieselbrain @dieselbrain.bsky.social Follow the number below doesnt work, as Stripe has changed their number, and is demanding a $2.99 fee to even tell you what it is. however, this number DOES still work and will let you leave a message: (877) 887-7815

Collective Shout, the group that took credit for bullying Mastercard into recently censoring more platforms, stated that apparently it took them ~1000 phonecalls to convince them to give them what they wanted?

We got like way more people than that don't we?
dieselbrain.bsky.social Dieselbrain @dieselbrain.bsky.social · Jul 24
ok then. one angle of attack then needs to be actively bombarding Visa and Mastercard's phone numbers and emails.

are customer support phone numbers/emails the best avenue to start with or is there a better option?

One of the best parts of running it was getting to create portraits of my wonderful play-testers' characters!
Composite image of three traditionally hand-drawn Stravagante Gigante player characters. A slightly sleazy looking gnome with an extravagant mustache and equally extravagant purple and gold suit and bowler hat. He is riding a giant blue-shelled orange snail. A wisteria-plant-like tree-folk wearing a yarn-bombed scarf, a crown for a bracelet, and carrying a bundle of rolled up maps and notebooks. An edgy-looking jerboa, wearing pine-cone scale armour and spiked helmet. They are holding a shield fashioned from an ancient doubloon and a slightly rusted pocket knife.

In 5 years, long covid has surpassed asthma as the most common chronic illness among children in the US.

The only way to avoid long covid is to avoid catching covid.

Masks lower your instance of illness.

These are facts.

Cognitive dissonance & denial are kicking people’s ass.

btw if you're so petrified of doing a bad job that you can't even start, then what you need isn't advice on how to make comics. you need to learn to embrace being messy and bad at things and being okay with that because it's necessary, and actually it's GOOD. being messy is WONDERFUL

Tbh It's actually okay to suck at stuff you enjoy doing. You don't have to gear into competition or be the absolute best. Existing and having fun is just as worthwhile. You don't have to make money off it. You don't have to get published. You can literally just create it, fail, learn, and make more

“Make America Healthy Again!”

“It’s your patriotic duty to be healthy”

“Only sick kids should die of measles”

Pay attention. This isn’t about health.

They’re coming for Medicaid
They’re targeting SNAP
They’ve already criminalized abortion

They will make you sick & then blame you. It’s a cull

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching.

Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.
