We need to keep the internet, the magic of the digital age, as open as possible. Although it may have introduced some horrors, we need to examine those flaws and educate the next generation on how to best deal with them.

If you've been wondering why some folks are boycotting Xbox right now, here's a decent update from, of all places, Kotaku and the Palestinian BDS movement and No Games for Genocide.
Remember, withholding your dollars and engagement are two of the best ways to influence corporate policy!

Importantly, this wouldn't have passed without Dem support. There was enough of a split within Republican ranks that if Dems had voted against the bill it would've been doa. Giving Trump a blank check to warmonger *and* passing an anti-trans measure was a choice.
115 Democrats just voted to codify the first federal trans segregation law.

Not particularly surprising that the machine #translation post-editing (MTPE) situation is just as awful in the land of translating non-fiction as it is with translating fiction, but good to hear it straight from a relevant professional with the appropriate amount of righteous fury nevertheless
