Backed by the Heritage Foundation and Big Tech, KOSA will force everyone to upload their ID to access the internet. In an age when Palantir has direct ties to ICE, where technofascists are in power and want to eliminate and censor everything, we CANNOT allow KOSA to pass.

It NEEDS mass pushback.
🚨‼️As of yesterday KOSA is at 64 cosponsors with @vanhollen.senate.gov + @kim.senate.gov - who claim to support LGTBQ+ rights but are clearly okay with supporting legislation that’ll censor us off the internet- newly signed on.

You know what to do: www.stopkosa.com

Instead of giving Stranger Things finale a theatrical release, how about just expanding the release of Guillermo del Toro's FRANKENSTEIN? 🥺
Reposted by Shay T. (Void Cryptid)
IMO Guillermo del Toro should be given whatever budget he needs to make whichever movie he wants every year or two. He isn't going to be around forever, which means there's a finite amount of del Toro movies that will get to exist, and we should be paving the way for his projects as long as possible

And what i mean by "can't get away with it" is that they will insist on going with.

Like fuck off- i arranged getting myself to two (three in January) concerts on my own and i don't want to deal with your inevitable bs conservative commentary.
Whyyyy is the only theater in Maine that will be showing Frankenstein in Belfast and why is it on the 25th. Exactly when I'll be at my parent's place and they will be around so I can't get away with going over there.

Yeah same up here, from what I could tell. Ah, it's TSOW theater showings all over again.

(Well, no, that's not entirely true. I lucked out with that one but it was the theater downtown that I don't like. And also was 2017 by this point)

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

I am dead serious, OpenAI should be held criminally and financially liable for the fire
the city of los angeles burned in january in part because of a man who couldn’t stop generating images of burning cities on ChatGPT, and then after he lit the fire he asked if the fire he started was his fault
Sighs. It's missing the cottage hours.

Here is a Reddit threat that explains how to disable Copilot in Windows, which I've just followed:

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.
Apparently we can't have off-shore wind power but an ai data center is okay???
Oh fuck off with your fuckass data centers. Don't want your ai trash here.

(The context being i saw an article about putting one of those things in the northern area of my state i hate this timeline)

Using ChatGPT
What's something that isn't considered embarrassing but you think it should be?
Once again thinking about what the creative process must have been like for the found footage aspect of Savageland because aside from being creepy as fuck that is some killer film photography and I still love the fact that was the found footage method of choice.

With the holidays upon us, don't give to Salvation Army. Not even change. It's a scumbag "charity" run by anti-gay zealots.

Habitat for Humanity is great. Your local Food Bank is great.

So many "charities" are for-profit scams. Use Charity Navigator to vet them. www.charitynavigator.org
Fun fact about the Salvation Army: they use a form of substance use treatment called work therapy. Oh, and by treatment, I mean they have people who have been convicted of drug charges work for their stores & warehouses in exchange for room, board, around a $1 a week, and minimal actual therapy.
Today's adventure was productive. Went through two rolls of film camera. The third one I had packed will be used tomorrow while browsing the maple places (gotta remember to pick up the maple salsa too)

Unironically.
This is also why I maintain that a lot of 'rich folks' are not actually rich. They're just tossing around the same 'estimated assets' that I'm not convinced have any actual dollar backing.

And adding imaginary interest on top of those numbers to make 'number go up' in perpetuity.
I’m getting big “artists at a con circulating the same $20 around” vibes but like, in an evil way
