I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

We're now finding out that as many as 70,000 people had their government IDs provided to prove their ages leaked by Discord. Like I wrote last week, this is an inherent risk (and made greater by a rushed process) of getting platforms to do age checks

Discord says 70,000 users may have had their government IDs leaked in breach

The ID pics had been submitted as part of age-related appeals.

Before the events of Sep 10th, KOSA was reported to be dead in the committee. Now they're using said events as an excuse to try to get the bill through.

Just because the debate guy got killed for his free speech doesn't mean they should take away yours.

#SaveSpeech

US legislators are pushing harder to pass KOSA and repeal section 230.

Call your representatives ASAP and make your voice heard! Advocate for protecting section 230, and demand your reps oppose KOSA!

Bipartisan Push in Congress to Weaken Section 230, Expand Online Surveillance, and Increase Platform Liability

Calls for platform accountability came with few answers about who decides what speech is acceptable.

Scotus deemed refusal of service for moral reasons falls under the First Amendment via the Masterpiece Cakeshop v.

Yesterday's piece from @jamellebouie.net is the only high-profile piece I've seen that specifically discusses the watchlist, its effect on academics, and its effect on public attitudes toward academia as a whole. (gift link)

Or else what? You'll threaten queer people and minorities MORE? Tell women to get back in the kitchen EVEN HARDER? Maybe wave away a few more school shootings? If you suck Trump's withered lil dick with any more intensity, he's gonna have another stroke for sure.

I had a discussion with friends and the AI topic came on and they asked me:

"What could you do that an AI would never be able to do as good as yourself?"

I told them I can animate a big crocodile man with pecs bouncing and big nipples.

I then showed them this gif and they went "AI could never 👀👀"

I always found it funny how people judge and dictate furry's choices on their characters like:

"But your character should not have nipples or a navel since they are a bird/ dinosaur/ lizard! They come from an egg."

Meanwhile, you have Klump the Kremling from 1994:

rest in piss

Kirk’s death, like much of his life, took place on a stage. Despite the artificiality of such a setting, that makes him more real to some Americans – and clearly to those eulogizing him. More real than the Democratic lawmaker and her husband who were killed just a few months ago. More real than the 11 people killed last week by the US government in what was almost certainly an illegal strike on a boat in the Caribbean. More real than tens of thousands – or, more likely, hundreds of thousands – of Palestinian civilians.

Kirk’s violent rhetoric helped shape this world, and yet, it has been deemed “civil” by those on both sides of the political divide. This is the mark of a sick society, one that is perfectly fine with an unconscionable body count as long as none of the disfigured, barely recognizable faces are ones we know from a screen. Some of the pundits fake-crying for Kirk probably found his views privately appalling. Again, networks made the deliberate choice to shy away from engaging with the substance of his debates. They were almost certainly aware, at least on some level, of the kinds of things he regularly said. But that didn’t matter. They had to put on a show. The show, after all, is what keeps the meat grinder that is America moving, and it must – at all costs – go on.
