hi, folks!

KOSA’s back in congress. the project 2025 people want KOSA to pass & openly say they’ll use it to attack abortion & LGBTQ people. it's also got a lot of democratic support.

2 other censorship bills—IODA & SCREEN—are up, too. all must be stopped.

long thread! call scripts at the end.🧵
Kids Online Safety Act reintroduced in Senate. Advocates fear it'll block LGBTQ+ content online. - LGBTQ Nation
Supporters say it has protections for free speech, but others worry platforms will block content to comply.

The number one thing that people should take from this is that Hoyo is willing to replace striking actors

If you believe they’re willing to do that, you shouldn’t have much trouble accepting that they’ll replace working actors with AI.
Last week, two voice actors for Hoyoverse game Zenless Zone Zero were recast because they were withholding work due to the SAG-AFTRA Interactive strike.

In these videos, we discuss what happened, why the actors chose to withhold work, and what all this has to do with the threat of AI.

After five years
I am not tired
of wearing a mask,
and after five years
I am not tired
of taking precautions,
and after five years
I am not tired
of paying attention,
but after five years
I am just tired
I am just so very tired.

New research suggests
that “COVID-19
may accelerate dangerous
hardening of the arteries”
and while this explains
how Covid-19
hardens the heart
it does not explain
why so many of us
have hardened our hearts
towards each other.

Apologies, my friends,
I failed,
I keep telling myself
that if I keep trying
eventually
I will find the right words
to convince people
that we must try
to take care of each other,
I know, my friends,
that this week I failed,
but I’ll keep trying
my friends, I’ll keep trying.

All I want to do is play Veilguard, and I caaaaaaaaaaaaaaan't and I hate it.

Time to figure out if I can upgrade my current set-up, or if I have to start a whole new build.

Think nothing
of your disappointing summer.

The book
you were hoping to write
remains unwritten.
 
The trip
you were hoping to take
remains untaken.
 
The love
you were hoping to find
remains unfound.
 
You survived
another pandemic summer
and that is enough
to hope for.

Hey fellow folks who are still at zero covid infections--

Evidently this survey could use some more control responses, let's help them out please. 🙏
Johns Hopkins is doing a long-COVID survey and apparently is having trouble finding controls -- people who haven't had COVID. If this is you, consider giving them some clicks.

@violetblue.bsky.social thought you may want to boost.

In clinical trials of new treatments, when the treatment is clearly and obviously immediately effective it is sometimes considered unethical to continue to withhold it from the control group. Pretty sure we passed that milestone about a decade ago with basic income experiments.
Fresh basic income pilot results, this time from Arlington, Virginia where 200 people got $500 a month for 2 years. The findings:

Employment INCREASED by 16%, and their incomes from paid work INCREASED by 37%. The control group saw no such gains.

Are you a fan of The Lord of the Rings? Do you identify as nonreligious? Would you be interested in talking to me for 1-2 hours about why you love Tolkien?

If you answered 'yes' I would love it if you filled out this questionnaire for my PhD research!

Many folks have complained about poor subtitles on Good Omens S2.

@neilhimself.neilgaiman.com explains: for S1 he reviewed & corrected subtitles himself. He didn’t do that for S2. Because he’s on strike.

When writers say their work doesn’t end when the script is turned in…this is what that means.
