Congress is looking to pass bills to ban all lgbt content on the internet to “protect kids” that would mean an end to our lovely community, and the end to lifesaving connections that several lgbt people in right leaning communities need to keep going. (1/2)

They are bought. Look up what Rishi Sunak is doing for OpenAI now. And look at these-

It would also be good if AI companies were to pay for the energy they use, and not expect domestic consumers to subsidise them.

- Only 3.5% want a new copyright exception for AI training (3% want an exception + opt-out for rights holders, 0.5% an exception with no opt-out)

These results are absolutely overwhelming. The government should rule out a new copyright exception immediately.

🚨 The UK government just published a breakdown of the responses to its consultation on AI & copyright:

- 95% of respondents want AI companies to pay for their training data (made up of 88% saying strengthen copyright law, & 7% saying leave it as is)

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

A lesbian-protagonist sci-fi show is the most-watched Apple TV+ series of all time.

A gay hockey romance is #1 on HBO Max.

And a gay detective movie is #1 on Netflix. 🏳️‍🌈

Sounds like the woke and ghey stuff has an audience.

#ourflagmeansdeath season 3 lets go.

Largely accurate story, but has someone saying I am wrong about humanoids needing human level dexterity. NO. I am saying humanoid companies are claiming they will get it, so humanoids can replace humans everywhere, & I am saying their current methods won't attain it. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/14/b...

I think most ppl here know that I'm a USian living abroad but not in the country where I plan to get a visa that is tied to permanent immigration. I was supposed to be heading there around this time but hit a snag with employment a bit ago. I've been trying to pull myself out...

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

I keep thinking that - like Rhys with Stede - Samba was born to play this role.

Anyone else in this role and I'd find the character abhorrent or untrustworthy, but Samba oozes an internal "goodness" that makes me trust Koumba and forgive all the lascivousness.
Part 2 of my lovely talk with PLURIBUS' @sambaschutte.bsky.social about what he took from his character's name and Mauritanian culture, the difference between working on PLURIBUS and OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH, and accidentally embarrassing Vince Gilligan:

"I'm like, 'No, just embrace the compliment!'”
Pluribus star says his character's secret backstory is hidden in his name
Our Flag Means Death's Samba Schutte explains how he and Vince Gilligan shaped Koumba Diabaté, and explains his radical choices in episode 6, "HDP."
