KOSA just got a bunch of new cosponsors so, y'all, kindly tell them to knock it the fuck off.
Make this bill unpassable for the sake of keeping the open internet, enough of this censorship BS and "protect the children" excuses.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

It's a district of a city-state in an obscure book series associated with one of my favourite bands who were a major part of my life for a long time

No matter your frame of reference for Tracys, I'm the other one. Seems demeaning at first glance. Long-term, it makes me unforgettable.

Californians, let’s call (916) 445-2841 to tell Newsom’s office to sign the following pro LGBTQ+ rights bills before the deadline:

AB 82/SB 497
AB 1084/SB 59
SB 418
AB 554
AB 728
AB 678
SB 590
SB 450

He hasn't signed the other bills yet, but he still has days to do so
This headline is misleading for not mentioning that.

The gender education veto is bad, but far from the most important trans rights bill on his desk.

There's still time to contact Newsom for the rest!

watched a lot of brain surgery videos and thought about how you would miniaturise an entire deck to fit it in there

given how young they start getting these implants there is def some skull reshaping that goes on in the process of receiving at least annual upgrades

drawing of Aubrey, a human woman with cybernetic implants in the back of her head. the components of her cybernetics are dismantled and displayed in layers, showing the external guardplate; a shock absorbing & heat-dispersing gel layer; the outer deck components, which are anchored to the bone, use skull etching in place of a motherboard and are threaded through a synthetic dura; the embedded neural components; the datajack spool that exits at the base of her neck; and one of the two external release buttons on the side of her head for the guardplate.

🇩🇪 Germany is AGAINST Chat Control:

Jens Spahn: "We as the CDU/CSU parliamentary group are against indiscriminate monitoring of chats. That would be like preemptively opening all letters to check whether there's something illegal in them. That's not acceptable, that won't happen under our watch."
