Urge your lawmakers to vote NO on HR 1897! If passed, this bill would weaken the ESA. By prioritizing development over critical habitat, this bill will make it easier to harm & hinder to protect listed and endangered species, like the Gray Wolf. Act now!

The House of Lords Digital & Communications Committee just published their report on AI, copyright & the creative industries, and their conclusions could not be clearer.

H.R. 7661 would harm so many publishers, authors, and readers. Only the smallest sliver of human experience would make it onto shelves. If you think kids deserve the world, you are against this bill - please read this article and call your reps.

AI doesnβt have intelligence and isnβt sentient! Stop it!! We canβt even treat living beings (humans or animals) with empathy and respect. Maybe work on that first.
I'm half crazy, all for the love of you... Digital Circus Episode 8 drops March 20th
Hey, weirdly argumentative liberals demanding the left stop bringing the tattoo up: the right will not hesitate to do this level of opposition research, and even the ones who are Nazis themselves will decry him, because heβs proof the libs are the βreal Nazis.β Do not do their fucking work for them.
Man, I hate when when youβre sitting there, in a chat, and slurs just walk on in all by themselves like somebody turned on a faucet
More training doesn't fix policing and police don't solve crime.
Discord says its delaying the age verification rollout until the second half of the year
This comes after massive backlash
Iβll leave for later why reporters didnβt fact-check - thereβs an ugly story there too. But the urgent issue is, Platner would be crushed in the general. It's best to lance the boil now. Hereβs the document, sourced and Wikipedia-ready. You should read it. The NRSC sure will. 11/
Platnerβs former campaign team know somethingβs wrong - they all quit. They know he would lose in the general election. Janet Mills needs to make him lose in the primary instead. And she can, just by demanding his records. He wonβt show them - he canβt. Confront him with that. 7/
Why comics creators must fight the proposed censorship of H.R. 7661
I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.
if it didn't come with such a horrific body count there'd be at least a twinge of satisfaction in seeing Trump the face-eating leopard become the leopard-face-eatee because no amount of sucking up to Putin will ever stop Putin from screwing him over
as it is, I'm just livid he's so FUCKING gullible
The thing about all these freak AI execs constantly going "our machine may have gained sentience?!" is that they want slaves. That they are ok with slave labor.
And *then* it always, always turns out their latest AI trick actually used slave labor somewhere in the global south.
They're slavers.
A photo of a trio of my Peep Rex figures. They are fluffy TRex chicks colored in blue, pink, and yellow. They sit on a wooden floor with a backdrop of Easter grass and pastel eggs.
A closeup of the back of my blue Peep Rex showing the sugary coating.
Peep Rex - fluffy little friends for Easter π£ These chicks will sneak into candy baskets to steal treats. They have a sugary coating on their backs to fool the human eye. Preorder one now for a limited time! I will also have some stock at LVFC in April.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
Script if you need it:
Iβm calling to tell Representative ____ to oppose H.R. 7661. This bill would pressure schools to remove titles that discuss lived experiences that some politicians find controversial. I donβt think trans people are controversial. (contin)
So this post broke containment and lost a little of the context when it did but Bikini Kill are the ones donating to TCP, not Bandcamp. We generally choose a different org or mutual aid fund to support on Bandcamp Fridays and this is what we chose this month.

Congratulations, WaPo, you did it, you published the worst take
Judith Butler Apology Form: From: Date: Reason for behaviour: [ ] The media convinced me that feminism was solved in the 1980s [ ] I never actually read their work [ ] I miss not thinking about gender [ ] I didnβt realize how much of society is built on gender [ ] I was jealous of their nonbinary swag [ ] Mercury was in retrograde [ ] I will hereby respect JUDITH BUTLER and I will not talk down on the best feminist thinker of our lifetimes
This is uncharitable but consistent with a major consideration that preoccupies me: that investment in Platner is really about investment in the 'aspirationally normal masculine man' aesthetic he exudes as a substitute for substantive politics or policy.
The package of censorship and surveillance bills brought up in todays markup has been advanced
Continue to contact your representatives and demand this legislation be opposed. Tell your family and friends, explain how these bills are not what they appear, and ask them to join us in opposition!
