We’re all still feeling the effects our 80s and 90s austerity governments, so you’re spot on.

Not sure if that particular bill can be amended for something this novel, but SOME legislation definitely needs to happen about it. Europe and Asia are hitting the brakes on unfettered genAi, but our government is an oligarchy run by late-stage capitalists and Silicon Valley, so, you know. Crickets.

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act; back when we took the Internet seriously, it seems.

There was also the legislation that came a few years later when content like music and movies were starting to be downloaded en masse.

I know this wildlife documentary seems cute but this is actually a really distressing video, that hippo has had way too much fiber for their gastrointestinal track to handle, they are not suppose to be playing music from their butt like that
honestly you should probably remove this

Right. We already did this once before, and recently. That early-internet copyright legislation is less than thirty years old.

Can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube, yadda yadda yadda, yeah. Got it. 👍

So now just write laws where tech bros can’t get away with blatant and gleeful theft of IP.

I do find it funny how community spaces were destroyed to make malls, a poor fascimile thereof, which were then replaced with social media, which is a bad fascimile of a mall but online, and now social media is being destroyed for fuck all

All kinds of objects cause emotions in humans. Art, sports jerseys, madeleines, sleds named Rosebud … evoking emotions in humans just reaffirms that humans are human, not that objects have humanity.

the Vice President of the United States shouldn’t be allowed to say “fuck this one person in particular”

I know we know this, I know we’ve been saying it as long as these platforms existed, I know it predates Twitter and they used to do it in the newspapers

but it’s just so deeply anti-democracy

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.
Tweet from the VP: Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most. Yet she oozes with contempt. My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much happier person if you showed a little gratitude

Your Cherokee words for today.
The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

This is how my grandfather told me. A war chief of an enemy tribe led a party against the Cherokee. When

You can eat less meat, and when you do, only eat it when you know it was third-party inspected for humane practices. It’s better, yeah, but at the end of the day, an animal is still dying so you can eat it. This is not one of those situations where you can be a purist in either direction, I’m afraid

I think it’s sweet that you think it won’t just end at the discourse lol

Does anyone want another slice of delicious “mental health is the problem, not guns ▶️ OK, so then let’s fund services for mental health ▶️ wait no, that’s not what I meant” pie?
