just watched a dozen people ask microsoft copilot experts their most pressing questions and those questions were 90% “how do i turn it off?” and “when i turn it off, is it really off or is it spying on me?”

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

"To become mature is to become kind" is actually beautiful.

Isaiah D. Colbert @shineyezehuhh.bsky.social · 2d

Makoto Yukimura was worried that Vinland Saga's farming arc and "I have no enemies" moment was a gamble that readers wouldn't like. I told him about the J. Cole meme from the Kendrick Lamar and Drake rap beef. This is how he reacted.

If “I have no enemies” has become a meme and people remember it, then maybe people will understand what I’m really trying to say through the story, which is that humans are immature, but we can mature. To become mature is to become kind. This is the foundation of what I’m trying to say, but it really has to be much shorter for people to remember. But it does give me hope that people remember these short phrases as memes. Then, one day, it will click in their mind what I was trying to really say in the first place.

Contributor Bio: I love Mel because I think I would have needed a character like her as a child. A woman who is powerful and magical and cheeky and intelligent who's story does not revolve around a trope. And obviously also because she is super pretty.

For anyone not familiar, Evening has been fighting for Black and trans voices from day one. They have designed so many of our favs (Mel, Ambessa, Viktor) and it’s time they get some of the love they deserve. Please share the post directly from the Mel Zine account and spread the word ‼️💘✨ #arcane

A screenshot of a tweet from Evening Monteiro, the person who designed multiple Arcane characters, that says: How the fuck are you an arcane fan and transphobic? We definitely did NOT make that show for you.

Back in the land of reality, here's what one of the Black people whose home was smashed into during the apartment raid last week said about his Venezuelan neighbors: "They were cool people."

Mr. Jones, a U.S. citizen, was dragged out in handcuffs and held outside for hours.

Jones, who lives on the fourth floor, said most of his neighbors were Venezuelan and often took turns cleaning the hallway because the property owners did little to maintain it.

“They were cool people,” Jones said as he looked into his next door neighbor’s unit. “They didn’t speak a lick of English, but we used translator apps to talk to each other.”

Jones wondered what would happen to his neighbor’s young children.

This is a brilliant take & I will add

She shouldve done what Beyonce did and WAIT TIL SHE WAS MARRIED to switch to overt sexual themes in her music. That’s what Bey had to do to make sexual music palatable (plus Bey is Black).

It’s partly why the primary critique of this album is how cringe it is

This isn't like the average online petition btw, this is one of those things where if it gets enough signatures, the HOC absolutely must bring it to the floor for discussion. Incredibly important to get on this if you're Canadian.

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators.

and hey on the topic of ID laws

do you really trust Bluesky, whose admin and c-suites physically cannot stop themselves from posting-through-it, to be able to hold onto your fucking govt ID and not leak it in a data breach like Discord?

these policies suck, they are dangerous, call your reps

Everyone in EU, UK or any US state with ID laws on the books [or even ones without them] should contact their representatives and mention this data breach specifically and [link the article if emailed]

Show them the actual, tangible results of all this digshit online ID legislation
