Huge news on Patreon! Because of the Apple v. Epic ruling, they are not only dropping the 30% Apple Store charge on the iOS app, they are also halting the move to subscription billing for all creators - which would have affected creators like me, who use a "per video" structure than monthly.

From Patreon's Discord: "Yesterday, a U.S. court ruled in the Epic v. Apple case that Apple is no longer allowed to collect fees on purchases made outside of the App Store.

This is a huge victory for creators and fans. The Patreon iOS app is the number one platform for fan engagement on Patreon, and we believe this ruling allows creators to get paid without Apple taking 30% of all in-app payments.

We know many creators may have questions about how this ruling will impact your Patreon communities and how you use the Patreon iOS app. We’ve been working urgently to understand what this ruling means and how to take action to ensure that you and your fans benefit as much as possible. Here’s the latest:"

"The November 2025 subscription billing transition deadline is now on hold
This is still a developing situation, but we are moving forward under the assumption that the November 2025 deadline for all Patreon creators to switch to subscription billing is no longer necessary.

While additional information may come that alters Apple’s requirements for Patreon’s iOS app, we are optimistic that this ruling will give us additional flexibility in how we support creators on legacy billing models. However, for now, creators still need to be on subscription billing to be able to accept payments through the Patreon iOS app.

For those who still want to proceed with switching to subscription billing, our team is happy to assist with the transition, since it still unlocks access to the latest growth tools on Patreon, like gifting, Autopilot and tier repricing. For creators on per-creation billing who are actively working with our support team to transition to subscription billing, our team will be in contact with you by the end of the day tomorrow, May 2nd, with next steps to confirm how you’d like to proceed."

"Where we go from here

When we first announced rolling out Apple’s in-app purchasing requirements last year, we shared that we used three principles to guide our decision in how we planned to move forward: transparency, control, and stability. In keeping with these principles, we’ll continue actively working to learn more, and we will communicate frequently and transparently as we go.

This ruling is a huge moment for creators and fans, and we will continue fighting for a future where creators are in control, communities thrive, and professional creativity is possible for all. "

Genuinely unbelievable how blatant the ongoing trans rights scandal is in the UK

Panel 1:

Sex Matters: We want to change the law around trans rights
Trans person: You want to prevent trans people from participating in public life
Sex Matters: Nonsense hyperbole

Panel 2:
Later...

Sex Matters: Now that we have changed the law around trans rights we think that people should be banned from transition because what kind of life could the lead without rights?! It would be awful

This is deranged. Jan. 6 defendants were repped by one of the best public defender offices in the U.S. They were more likely to be released pretrial & got comparatively light sentences. SCOTUS threw out a bunch of convictions, which almost never happens. They got gold-plated due process!

This doesn't even mention the Wayback Machine, which has been essential for my academic and recreational research. Neither is it to mention even earlier media, which is often only hosted and easily accessible on the Archive. Do not let it be destroyed. None of us understand how much will be lost.

A reminder that audio recordings made after 1924 and most other media made after 1929 is not public domain (in America), allowing it to slip easily through cracks and go missing forever because there's decreasing interest and little profit incentive for republication. Internet Archive does so much to prevent this, I wouldn't be able to find half the 1930s recordings I can if it weren't for Internet Archive and reuploads of their valuable collection. Period.

Whatever happens here, it's alarming that there could be changes to insurance coverage of certain birth control methods based on the false idea that they cause abortions. Redefining birth control as an abortifacient could open the door to outright bans on these methods at the state or federal level.

LinkedIn promoted post about Universities UK's partnership with a firm called Studiosity, who are offering universities a free trial of their "AI for learning (not corrections), for formative feedback at scale)".

Text from the announcement which says the AI technology "means all students can benefit from personalised formative feedback in minutes, including guidance on how they can demonstrably improve their own work and critical thinking skills. Actionable insight is accessible to faculty and leaders, revealing the scale of engagement with support, cohorts requiring intervention, and measurable learning progress."

This is why they're attacking science and education: if you can only win with disinformation, data become a threat.

Tweet from Scott Jennings, saying "um, yes, that's really a problem," with a quoted image saying "The problem with left-leaning media is they're intrinsically more strict with their propaganda to only using verifiable sources so it's really hard to poke holes in their ideology and arguments in comparison to a lot of low quality right-wing content. That makes attacking their points with fact checkers not very effective unless the fact checkers use misinformation tactics as well. In essence, people on the right have to work harder and more creatively to push their agendas as statistics and studies frustratingly aren't usually on our side."
