The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) is a Dumpster Fire
The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) might sound like it’s about protecting children, but in reality? It’s lazy parenting, political theater, and corporate censorship wrapped in a red, white, and blue moral panic.
In this video, I break down why KOSA is one of the worst tech bills we’ve seen in a whil

The UK’s Online Safety Act is here—and it’s pure Orwell. VPN warnings, encryption threats, Wikipedia possibly blocked. All “for the children.” I break it all down here:

Hot take: calling Bush the devil may have desensitized people to legit warnings about Trump. I didn’t care for Bush, but I do think he meant well for the country. Trump? I genuinely can’t say the same. There’s a difference between bad policy and bad intent.

Childcare is essential in this country, yet in places like my home state of Pennsylvania, the average cost is $14,000/year.
Parents can’t afford childcare. Caretakers can’t afford groceries. And Republicans are cutting the programs that help both.
The status quo is unsustainable.
