people love to be like ‘blue states good! red states bad!’ but it is a fact that both new york senators voted in favor of this so 🤷♀️
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

lame crowd take over cool hangout spot. is shocked when everyone leaves instead of deciding they're cool now
Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.
They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

One of the most litigious companies in the world just gave full use of its characters to an app that will allow people to put them in homemade snuff films all in hopes of never having to pay a human being for a movie or TV show again
BREAKING: Disney is making a $1 billion investment in OpenAI, and will allow its iconic characters to be on the company's Sora AI video generator.

Bryan Reisberg spends one day a week taking shelter dogs out of their kennels, slipping them in a “adopt me” backpack and carrying them around New York.
His goal is to help people see shelter dogs the way he does: curious, sweet and full of potential. https://wapo.st/4iPToS0

Oh nooooo hurry up and do it
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

FF12 really had the audacity to look at Han Solo and Chewbacca and go "What if we made the first guy a metrosexual and the second guy into a beautiful woman with rabbit ears and armored lingerie?" and nobody before or since has ever had a more amazing idea.
