I guess a bunch of U.S. airlines are boo-hoo'ing about fuel costs and are requesting a government bailout. Well, where's my bailout for all the expensive grocery bills and higher power costs? Pony up.

I'm not claiming to be a hero, but with every Cadbury MiniEgg I eat, that's a dog not getting chocolate poisoning. I've saved so many dogs.

It's boring without F1 but it can also be boring with F1 so I don't really know what to feel

Massive Nebraska wildfires have burned an area the size of Rhode Island. The raging fires have burned over 800,000 acres of grazing land.

Austin area folks: Austin Animal Services is over capacity & needs help with foster & adopt. Additionally there is a Central Texas wide name your adoption fee event coming up, March 6-8. Please consider fostering if you can't adopt. Homes without children & pets are unicorn homes for some dogs.

hey, really important. did you guys know that minnesota is under occupation? here are some ways their lives have changed:

“Set up a shortcut on my phone. If I say, “Siri, quick! Capture ice!” It will record to the cloud, and send my partner and mom my location along with a text saying I’ve encountered ICE.”

“While delivering groceries to shelter in place families, I lock my phone in the trunk and don’t use the GPS. I write addresses and directions in code on paper. The hell if I’m going to lead any 🧊 pieces of 💩 to the people i’m trying to help and protect.”

“I’ve lost 20 pounds since Cmas because I can’t eat. I sit in my car for 10-15 minutes observing the neighborhood before I go into our work building, to make sure ICE hasn’t followed me and isn’t lurking around. I’ve been doing mutual aid every day for weeks. My ex-husband and I exchange our kids’ passports when we swap kids each week. I added more family to the no-contact list.”

“I never take my dog with me anymore because I’m afraid if something happens to me, he would be lost.”

Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

Tl;dr: The vast majority of adults will never have to interact with our age assurance systems and their experience won't change, because we know Discord and how people use it, so we're designing to respect privacy and deliver a safer experience while minimizing friction for adults.

Hey folks –

I’ve been on Discord since very early 2016 and actually joined the company in 2017. Safety is one of my areas, so today’s announcement on our blog is something I’ve been pretty involved with. I’ve always cared about Discord's approach to privacy (E2EE for A/V was another of my projects here), so I figured I’d add some more context to today's news.

I can say confidently that the vast majority of people will never see age verification. I say this because we launched age assurance in the UK and Australia in 2025, and we have some pretty good data on this now. The idea here is that we can pre-identify most adults based on what we already know (not including your messages!), and that looks to get us pretty far here. No face scans, no IDs, for the vast majority of adults.

And if you are one of the smaller subset of folks that we can't definitively pre-identify, then still, you only have to do it if you're accessing age-restricted servers or channels, or changing certain settings. That's really not most users. (Altho... might be more Redditors, tbh.)

Last, I know that there is concern about privacy and data leaks. That's a real concern. The selfie system is built purely client-side, it never leaves your device, and we did that intentionally. That'll work for a bunch of users who aren't pre-identified as adults. But if you do end up in the ID bucket, then yeah, you're right that has some risk. We're doing what we can to minimize this by working with our range of partners (who are different partners than the data leak you read about), and if it's any help, we learned a lot internally from the last issue. But I get if that doesn't necessarily inspire more confidence.

Anyway, we’ll be sharing more next month as we get closer to the global roll out about the system, including the technology behind it in March. I honestly wouldn't be happy if we didn't build something good and I am excited about what we’re launching, but please let us know what you think when we share more details.

And I really appreciate everybody's feedback here today. We’re definitely reading it!

There is a reason he’s forced to cause all of this chaos. He has NO PLAN. He funds no programs, no healthcare, no education, no lower prices, money coming in only supports more chaos. He envies other dictators. I challenge ANYONE to tell me just one single thing he’s accomplished? Discussion open

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.
