When people warn about the privacy and security risks of mandating digital age verification, this is exactly what they mean. It’s not hypothetical www.bbc.com/news/article...

BBC article text: “Discord, a messaging platform popular with gamers, says official ID photos of around 70,000 users have potentially been leaked after a cyber-attack.
The platform, which has more than 200 million users worldwide, says hackers had targeted a firm that helped to verify the ages of its users but the Discord platform itself was not breached.
People can provide ID photos to verify their age on Discord - a networking hub for players to chat and share files with others in the gaming community.
The leaked data may involve personal information, partial credit card details and messages that were exchanged with Discord's customer service agents, the San-Francisco-based company says.”

Alter Ego (Mac, 1986)

An old System 6 status window reads: "That wraps up your status for the very first years of life. I hope you like yourself. If not, you can always try to improve in the years to come. There's plenty of time." Buttons are Continue and Escape.

I know the whole authoritarian playbook is to invent internal enemies of the state that don't actually exist but still wild to see it play out so crudely

Kinda wild that they keep insisting there is some group called Antifa.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

Leavitt: "The financial backing of these groups, particularly Antifa, is certainly something the administration is looking into aggressively ... we're kinda kickstarting that into gear. The FBI is working on it alongside the White House's homeland security task force."

are swifties okay

patreegs on instagram says

You need to listen to it once completely through while driving a car alone. Then you have to
listen to it indoors lying down. THEN you pick a few and listen to them WHILE you read the lyrics on your computer. You WILL find that you misheard some of the lyrics. DONT panic. Its COMPLETELY normal and healthy. DONT think about taylors life yet and DONT try to make sense of the lyrics and DONT panic if you dont like some of the songs at first bc your brain will LEARN to like them (evolutionary mechanism).
THEN, continue listening on loop as needed but have 2-3 that you sometimes just listen to on repeat. THEN re-emerge into the world and connect with others about their response to the text. THEN apply practically to your life. THEN examine how they fit into taylors. At this point you can start to lightly engage in online discourse if that feels healthy and safe.

I suspect calling your foes racists then enacting said racist policies doesn’t pay dividends 🤷‍♂️

Toby Buckle @polphilpod.bsky.social · 5d

my worry is labour will dip their toes into calling reform racist, won't see an immediate poll turn around, & chicken out
