A small victory! Chat Control has been tabled for now, but it can [and likely will] be brought up for vote again in December

In the meantime, EU citizens will need to continue pressuring their respective govts to oppose chat control

However, do so knowing that pressure WORKS.

Fight Chat Control @fightchatcontrol.bsky.social · 16h

Denmark has tabled next week's vote on Chat Control.

Yet, per Peter Hummelgaard:

"The Danish Presidency will, however, continue to work with the member states to find a solution, and therefore negotiations on the technical details of the proposal continue. It is urgent to find common ground."

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Until then, let's all support each other🤍

How loosely available is Discord’s age verification ID information if compromising an outsourced support agent can give them access to it?!

If it wasn’t clear, I have been very against this from the start. NEVER give your ID to a social media company. Call your reps!

Discord did not respond to a request for comment.
In an email, a ZenDesk spokesperson told 404 Media "Our investigation
indicates this incident did not arise from a vulnerability within Zendesk's platform. Zendesk's own systems were not compromised." In messages with the infosec X account VX-Underground, the hackers reportedly said they compromised an outsourced support agent.

Okay. But that's worse.
You do get how that's worse, right?

the difference between last time (when they got yelled at incessantly for caving) and this time needs to be a chasm in terms of the feedback they're getting from constituents

Mike Johnson would have been unsatisfied even if Bruce Springsteen or Willie Nelson had been chosen because they aren't the right type of white to MAGA. The Administration and the Party desperately want fascist figures to be cool and popular and nobody normal is down for it.

Boy, y'all better hope the revolution never kicks off given that you're sticking all these vital data centers in the south to poison black people.

Jack Tripper @chadstanton.blacksky.app · 2d

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that all these data centers are going into communities that have been historically targeted for exploitation and have the least amount of civic power wielded by the people living there.

Saying "there will be no midterms nor 2028 elections" gives this flailing, chaotic, unsuccessful wannabe-dictatorship WAY too much credit.

But also, we are NOT going to WAIT until those elections to get shit done. The two things are true, stop declaring the war over after some lost battles.

Minorities & people of colour are not the enemy

These division tactics only work because there’s one group who needs to feel superior to the rest of us

They will “other” anyone to advance their agenda
