It is 2008. I have tickets to MCR. I'm obsessed with an anime i'm slightly embarrassed of and I hate the government
I guess everything is cyclical.

The year is 2028: Thomas Massie accepts the democratic nomination for president from his jail cell in the recently reopened Alcatraz federal penitentiary.

Date everything has dropped! You know what that means -
Don't talk to me and my 12 boyfriends (who happen to be a d20, a group of hangers, a blanket, and the personification of despair) ever again.
Unless you want to play Grotto and Gargoyles

GUILT 🔞 NSFW ART @nupporibozu.bsky.social · Jun 1

equal parts meme and advertisement #dateeverything #dateeverythingdemo #freddyyeti

A recreation of the classic "this guy is fucking super hot chicks, and basically, you are fucking stupid" meme but with Freddy Yeti from the new dating sim, Date Everything. Freddy's face is edited into the image box--he's a muscular smiling yeti with blue grey skin and tons of hair, with long locks and a bushy beard. The text reads: "This fridge son of a bitch is hacking super hot left overs and basically, you are fucking cool. How? ... Just play the free demo"

I called my Senators today, left a message. If you've never done this before, 5calls is a really great resource, and made this very easy. Your senators need to listen to you; that's their entire job, even if it doesn't feel like it these days.

The House just advanced §43201 (Sub. C, Title IV), AKA the 10 year ban on state AI laws: thehill.com/homenews/hou...

It's now time to reach out to your Senators!

Wondering how? See: 5calls.org/issue/ai-reg...

Or feel free to use the card below.

FIND your Senator
- Go to senate.gov > Senators > Contact Your Senators > pick your state.
E-MAIL (about 3 min)
- Click "Contact" beneath each Senator's photo.
- Subject: Oppose §43201 (AI Preemption) – E&C FY-25 House Concurrent Resolution 14
- Copy or edit:
- My name is <NAME>, and I live in ZIP Code <12345>. Section 43201 would bar every state and municipality from passing AI safeguards for ten years, yet offers no federal framework. It is extraneous to budget policy and violates federalism (Wyeth/Lohr). Please support a Byrd-Rule point of order or vote to strike §43201 from the bill. Thank you.
CALL (about 1 min)
- Dial 202-224-3121 and ask for Senator <Last Name>.
- Script: Hello, I am <NAME> from <CITY/ZIP>. Please support striking AI-law preemption in Section 43201, Subtitle C of the Fiscal Year 2025 budget-reconciliation draft under House Concurrent Resolution 14. It is extraneous under the Byrd Rule and harms states' duty to protect the public, rights holders, and creators.

Life in Hell 1996 comic by Matt Groening.

The title is “Wisdom of the Ages.”

Four panels. A cartoon rabbit character is in each of the panels with the same bewildered look.

Panel 1: Caption reads, “1960s.” Speech bubble reads, “We had to destroy the village in order to save it.”

Panel 2: Caption reads, “1970s.” Speech bubble reads, “Watergate is proof that the system works.”

Panel 3: Caption reads, “1980s.” Speech bubble reads, “Helping the rich is helping the poor.”

Panel 4: Caption reads, “1990s.” Speech bubble reads, “By being the same as Republicans we can defeat the Republicans.”

My favorite thing in this app is that it has a lot of joke-getters. Everyone’s always getting jokes.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.

The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.
