Australia's decision to require age/identity verification, including facial scans, in order to do a Google search is dystopian.

We're watching the death of an open, anonymous internet, and the gradual takeover of information online by the state — under the guise of protecting children.
Australia is quietly rolling out age checks for search engines like Google
Just as Australians are adjusting to the idea of having their ages checked for social media, age assurance rules are being applied to search engines and many other corners of the internet.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.

Will we listen to his words today?

🚨This isn’t history. It’s a plan for our future.

Amnesty UK has exposed powerful & well-funded groups that are working to stop women, LGBTI+ people & children making decisions over our bodies, health & futures.

This matters to all of us as everyone’s rights are at risk.

Join us in exposing them.

Das britische Unterhaus hat für die Entkriminalisierung von Schwangerschaftsabbrüchen gestimmt, d.h. Frauen werden nicht mehr strafrechtlich wegen Abbrüchen verfolgt.

Panel 1: Shen, cloaked in shadow due to the contrast from the light outside, is kicking a door in so violently that it flies off the hinges. Only his eyes are visible in the shadow. Panel 2: A person as sitting at a laptop, holding a gaming controller connected to it. They have messy hair and dark shadows under their eyes, and are wearing a sweatshirt and sweatpants. Around them are scattered energy drink containers, ramen rontainers, chip bags, and and napkins. There's also a floor mattress. This person is clearly a shut-in. Panel 3: Shen, still mostly cloaked in shadow, points forward at them with a severe expression on his face, saying "you thought you could escape pride month?" Panel 4: Confetti falls as the shut-in (still in sweatshirt/sweatpants), is paraded through the streets on a stage atop a colorful car, as crowds cheer on both sides. Above them are two drones hovering in the air carrying a banner. The banner has the pride flat on it and arrows pointing down at them.

For noen kan et lite regnbueflagg bety at vi føler oss tryggere. Man ser flagget og tenker; « her kan jeg passe inn»
En enkel måte å vite at jeg også blir satt pris på.

Veldig fin video

i don't think there's a more self defeating anti-piracy system than streaming sites that don't let you take screenshots. i am trying to talk about your product on social media! for free! and you're making that logistically difficult just in case i'm dedicated enough to do it 30 times a second!

Happy Pride month, all! Way back in 2018 I made these galaxy pride flags. They were shared many thousands of times, featured on Vice, and even made their way onto book covers and into video games.

Here are the original ones I created (in no particular order!) so Bluesky can have them too. 💙

I think about this comic all the time.
A panel from a Calvin and Hobbes comic. Calvin's mom, eating dinner, says "Life could be worse, Calvin." Calvin, clearly upset, his mouth huge says "Life could be a lot BETTER too!"

Wäre ja dafür, dass man jedes Mal wenn bei TalkShows oder Interviews die Frage nach Umgang mit „Sozialbetrug“ aufkommt antwortet, als wäre es selbstverständlich, dass damit Steuerhinterziehungen von Großverdienenden gemeint ist. 💁🏻‍♀️

Das 9€-Ticket war eine der beliebtesten & effektivsten Maßnahmen der letzten Jahre. Nichts hat so deutlich das Leben entlastet. Millionen haben in ihrem Alltag direkt gemerkt, dass es auch besser werden kann. Und sogar ganz einfach geht. Warum traut sich niemand, mehr solche Vorschläge zu machen?!

I don't want to talk to a chat bot. I don't want to use AI to respond to a message. I don't want to download an app. I don't want to connect my fridge to wifi. I don't want to connect my socials to my bank. I don't want to rent the thing I used to own. I don't want to get notifications on my phone.

Wenn es nach CDU/CSU geht, sollen in Deutschland bald Atomkraftwerke und Fusionsreaktoren Strom liefern. Aber wie realistisch ist das? Ein Blick zu den jüngsten nuklearen Projekten zeigt: Atomstrom ist unberechenbar – bei den Kosten und Bauzeiten.
Kernkraft: Der teure Traum der Union
Die Union und Friedrich Merz wollen zurück zu Atomkraft. Über die hohen Kosten und langwierigen Bauzeiten wird nicht gesprochen.

Warum wir Evidenz brauchen

"Ihr immer mit euren Studien"
"Ich weiß doch, was mir geholfen hat"
"Da brauche ich keine Evidenz für, ich hab jahrelange Erfahrung"

Ich könnte kotzen, wenn ich solche Sachen höre.

Warum bestehen wir vom Team Wissenschaft nur immer so hartnäckig auf guten Quellen?

Seit 1.000 Tagen wehrt sich die Ukraine gegen Putins fürchterlichen Angriff. Das geht weit über die Ukraine hinaus. Es betrifft uns alle, denn es geht um die Freiheit – nicht nur für ein Land, sondern für Europa. Darum werden wir die Ukraine weiter unterstützen. 🇺🇦
Ein Zitat auf einem blauen Hintergrund mit gelber Schrift. Oben links ist ein großes, gelbes Anführungszeichen. Der Text lautet: „Seit 1.000 Tagen verteidigt sich die Ukraine gegen Putins fürchterlichen Angriff. Sie kämpft darum, selbst über ihr Schicksal entscheiden zu können. Wir unterstützen sie. Weil es auch um die Sicherheit und Freiheit Europas geht.“ Darunter steht in einer neuen Zeile „Robert Habeck“ als Absender.

United we stand, divided we fall.
Political cartoon showing a line of dominos. The first one is labeled Trans Rights and has a blue-pink-white trans flag painted on it and is tilting. Three people (representing a trans man, trans woman, and person wearing rainbow colors) are pushing back to keep it from falling. Behind it the second domino is labeled "Gay Rights" and "Freedom of Expression" and has a couple, one member of who is pulling the other from behind the domino and walking towards the first domino. The 3rd one "Women's Rights" and "Free Love", a woman is pointing and shouting to rally others behind the domino to come forwards, the 4th one " Free Speech" and "Democracy" and has people peering out from behind it as well as two people running forwards with a piece of lumber, the 5th one "Freedom of Religion" and "Modernity", and has a few people nervously peeking out from behind it, the 6th one is "Literacy". Dominos 7-10 are unlabeled and faded out in the background. Text on bottom: "United we stand, Divided we fall"
