The thing to understand about "age verification" laws is that they are not just for kids

The only way to "stop kids from doing xyz online" using age-gating is to demand a government ID (or invasive biometric face scan) from EVERYONE.

This means associating your gov ID with EVERYTHING YOU DO ONLINE

Welp, it’s time to publish this:

Bluesky Moderation has affirmatively dropped the ball with respect to allowing the transgender community on this site to protect itself.

I have a blocklist, titled “Transphobic”.

You can’t see it. Bluesky Community hid it.

What can I say? Charlie Kirk was a major vendor in the marketplace of ideas, and a dissatisfied customer wanted to return what they'd been sold. That's just capitalism

Insurrections occur in waves; the unrest in Indonesia has spread to Nepal. Whatever happens next, this revolt should give pause to politicians and police who imagine that they can pillage and terrorize with impunity.

Today, money may insulate you from the consequences of your actions; but tomorrow?

Corn ethanol is a scam. All farm-grown fuels are scams–and they’re land scams. When we use crops for fuel instead of food, we need to grow more crops to replace the food, which means more deforestation and more eating of the earth.

update: my landlord literally yelled at him for fixing it. he was like “you were supposed to tell me what’s needed first and get my permission to fix it”. like he threatened to call the AC guy’s boss. so he had to give him a discount to get him to chill out 🤪
tried to convince the AC guy to tell the landlord that he got stung by a wasp while he was working on the unit and the guy said “i can’t, he’s going to be mad enough once i tell him how expensive this will be. i’m gonna need to go outside for this one.” 😬 BUT HEY I HAVE AC AGAIN

if you have an iPhone, you may have pressed the power button 5x before. the phone vibrates briefly, you get options to call emergency services, power off, etc...

this kicks the phone out of this AFU state. you can do it with the phone in your pocket. you should practice doing it

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."
My kid lives in Siddall Hall and sent me these yesterday. First is what was put up by the school, second is the students’ alteration of the administrations’ cowardice.
