I'm pretty much at the point where I'm going to automatically start blocking accounts who share tiktok videos or screenshots of headlines or anything else without a link to the original source because far too many people work hard to create only to have people scrape it for their own clout.

🚨 Yet again Ted Cruz and Steve Scalise are trying to sneak in a moratorium on state GenAi legislation.
If passed states can no longer enact laws for transparency, child safety, privacy, environmental protection etc.
We got 3 days to stop this. Call now!

I do this with my friends every Sunday. We call it Accountability Hour.
We do it on a Discord video call. Girlies in our comfiest clothes, sipping warm drinks, yapping, doing the things we HATE and encouraging each other. It's like the lamest weekly DnD campaign ever and it's awesome
