Tell Congress: Oppose the GUARD Act
Congress is moving quickly on the revised GUARD Act, S. 3062. While lawmakers narrowed the bill after widespread criticism, it still requires intrusive age-verification systems for AI companions and imposes steep penalties on developers offering conversational AI tools.

The revised GUARD Act no longer appears to cover every AI chat service. That’s an improvement. But it still pushes identity-linked verification systems, raising privacy, anonymity, and speech concerns. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Congress Narrowed the GUARD Act, But Serious Problems Remain
Following criticism, lawmakers have narrowed the GUARD Act, a bill aimed at restricting minors’ access to certain AI systems. The earlier version could have applied broadly to nearly every AI-powered

annual repost of Trashed Bathrooms
when I was in college, a part of our university's graduation requirements had a community service component that they called service learning.

one of my service learning classes involved work at a local homerless community center, helping people write resumes and cleaning bathrooms.

our instructor told us to expect to see the bathrooms trashed a lot - like you will clean the bathroom and immediately someone will wreck it.and it's not because they disrespect your work or don't value having access to clean bathrooms or whatever, but because of control.

when you feel like you have no control over your life or your environment, your brain is going to want to assert control however it can.

which results in thrashed bathrooms. it's control exercised over one small part of your environment that you still have the power to affect.i see kids on tumblr using the language of social justice as cudgels on people who actually do care about and listen to them.

or holding the creators within their own communities to an impossibly high standard that they never apply to mainstream media properties.i just see thrashed bathrooms. 'These are the people my voice actually reach,' they rationalize, 'so these are the people I'll hurt'.

but the guiding principles of social justice are aimed at correcting and dismantling systems. stop using them to dismantle people.

There’s a very rich American tradition of commemorating murders via folk song (and I’d argue that hip hop counts.) And “deny, defend, depose” being written on the bullets is just catnip to a songwriter

In 2025 (less than 30 days away), PayPal will start selling your transaction history for targeted advertising. I very highly recommend logging into your account and going to Settings > Data & Privacy > Personalized Shopping. If you're reading this, turn that off RIGHT NOW before you forget.
A screenshot of PayPal's terms of service. Big wall of legalese text, which I will be pasting in below. You don't need to read it, here's the important part: 

"The key update to the Privacy Statement explains how we will share information with merchants to personalize your shopping experience and recommend our services to you. Personal information we disclose includes, for example, products, preferences, sizes, and styles we think you’ll like. Information gathered about you after the effective date of our updated Privacy Statement, November 27, 2024, will be shared with participating stores where you shop."


Here's the whole paragraph: 

We are updating our Privacy Statement to explain how, starting early Summer 2025, we will share information to help improve your shopping experience and make it more personalized for you. The key update to the Privacy Statement explains how we will share information with merchants to personalize your shopping experience and recommend our services to you.

For PayPal customers in California, North Dakota, or Vermont, we’ll only share your information with those merchants if you tell us to do so. No matter where you live, you’ll always be able to exercise your right to opt out of this data sharing by updating your preference settings in your account under “Data and Privacy.”
