Even if age verification laws require data deletion, you have to trust every website and third-party verifier will actually do it. That's a lot of faith to place in companies with spotty track records—and a risk that doesn't exist when a bartender just glances at your ID. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Welp, time to delete Fortnite. I've been playing it pretty regularly since they added Naruto, and I get they want to print money, but I can't enjoy a game that licensed H*rry P*tter. Being able to use the bathroom in peace is more important to me than a video game.

I tweaked Barbara's mini a while ago, too, but I forgot to post the updated version. I went a bit heavier on her eye shadow, smooshed the dirt around, and even remembered to paint her base! 😄 #dnd #character #portrait #art
