I wonder what would have happened if folks had taken seriously the rise in political violence and threats against women, trans, Black, and antifascist organizers and figures back when we were all getting swatted and sent photoshops of ourselves beheaded

A new site-blocking bill in Congress has procedural improvements. But it also explicitly reaches VPNs and broadens what kind of websites can be targeted. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Congress Has Another Site-Blocking Bill, And This One Targets VPNs
Congress is taking another run at site-blocking, a deeply flawed concept that would undermine basic internet infrastructure. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) has introduced the American Copyright Protection

Also a reminder that prison labor is a major depressing factor on all workers' wages. That shit that people unfairly blame on immigrants? Republican "law and order" and "business friendly" policies do far worse to the American workers' bottom line.

When most white Christians talk about 'God' or 'Jesus' or 'Christ' or 'Heaven' or 'Christendom' or 'the Church', they just mean white supremacy. This has pretty much always been true since the dawn of modernity.

The Tufted ground squirrel (Rheithrosciurus macrotis) is a riddle wrapped in an enigma wrapped in floof. Let's start with the *FLOOF* & talk about why they're called "VAMPIRE SQUIRRELS" last. They have the largest tail: body size ratio of any mammal on Earth: the tail is *130%* the size the body.
Taken from "Critter Science" blog: A  squirrel with dark coloration, just an amazingly large tail, and long tufted ears that point slightly backwards.  Along the long-thin body are orange, white and black striping. The tail looks almost exactly like one of those dust-trapping dusters.

It’s normal (and correct) to refuse to sign your likeness or performance over to AI. Even if there’s no indication that AI will specifically be used? Even if legally you’d be protected according to all sources? Saying no and standing by that is right.

Pope Leo “quoted the revised Catholic teaching on capital punishment ushered in by Pope Francis that the death penalty attacks the inherent dignity of a human being.” “The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment," Leo wrote.
