The NYT's anti-trans fear mongering was cited in a Supreme Court briefing that stripped away the rights of trans kids. They need to be fully blacklisted by queer people and their allies. Don't work for them. Don't use them for book press. Don't speak with them for stories. They made their bed.

Developers, creators, and small businesses are under threat. These two bills would tip the patent system in favor of trolls. Speak up now:

When you hear the whining about "police injured on duty" in LA today: the people actually listening to the scanners said LASD fired rubber bullets at LAPD so LAPD tear-gassed LASD. The protestors are gonna get blamed for it, but it was entirely self-inflicted.

"feature" (hating your users)

There's a thread on AskReddit asking, "People who have had to drain their life’s savings on a single event, what happened?" 99% of the answers are depressing American stories about medical bills, 1% is an Australian who found a wombat burrowing under their house.

Private access to an uncensored internet should be the norm for everyone, not just for someone who “has something to hide,” @torproject.org’s @1s4.bsky.social tells us in the latest “How to Fix the Internet” episode.

American airports: "Take off your shoes! Is that water bottle empty?! I don't like the look of this nail file, buster!" Switzerland: "Please feel free to purchase our iconic pocketknives right here inside the terminal."

Honestly, if you're still considering windows the line in the sand, the microsoft thing you won't boycott. Try it. I promise you, switching will suck at first. But eventually, you'll realize windows was hurting you, a tool for marketing and sales, not a tool for you. Take it back.

Go is what you get when the designers of a programming language are brave enough to ask the question “what if better things were *not* possible?”

One character is all it takes to make this Very Funny and it's right at the end

This car has a lot of status effects

oh lmao people on here have made bots for tracking and harassing people that block them wonderful platform you have here

People have never existed without trans people. #transmemes #transrights #transgender #trans

STOP Research Director Eleni Manis on #surveillance of LGBTQ+ youth in schools: "It's going to disproportionately affect kids who are middle or low-income, kids who don't have the resources to have their own private iPad or laptop." www.unclosetedmedia.com/p/data-priva...

haters will put a blanket over your cage to make you think it’s bedtime

We went full black mirror. Tracking anyone, anywhere, at any time using their face is simply incompatible with democracy. Terrified to think how cops will weaponize this against protesters, religious groups, and anyone else law enforcement wants to target. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

KOSA’s “sponsors are claiming—again—that the latest version won’t censor online content. It isn’t true,” EFF’s @jmullin.bsky.social said. “This bill still sets up a censorship regime” that'll “suppress lawful, important speech online, especially for young people.”

CSS is the most fun when you involve 5 gradients and 6 box shadows per button

You don't have to get ABDL-kind of stuff, but if you hate babyfurs for being weirdos or perverts, please have the slightest bit of self-awareness that this is what most people outside of furry think about all of us

Kick out the cop in your brain that makes you police what kinks others are into. People shouldn't have to live small L lives to appease bigoted people of any stripe.

Nah, we need to hit back at these fucking puriteens. They need to learn to sit down and shut the fuck up. They don't get to come into this community and wield their fake moral outrage to shut down creators and sub-groups just because it's something they don't like.

Goombella says too much

ok, the obscenity bill that was introduced on May 8th 2025 in the 119th congress is S.1671 and can be found here: www.govtrack.us/congress/bil... sorry for the confusion around the bill number, I was getting conflicting info.

Fascism is often described as "creeping", like incremental encroachment. This kind doesn't march in with tanks. It slides in by chilling opposition with a quiet plan to start the First They Came For poem. Attention furry travelers and convention nonprofits: 🧵1/12 www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

End-to-end encryption is a great way to protect the privacy of your conversations, but how (or if) those chats are backed up matters too.

Don’t let Congress hand private actors an internet kill switch. Stop site-blocking bills.
