NEW: When you sign up for Disney+ & Uber, you’re tricked into signing away rights you never knew you had. Buried deep in your terms of service is a “forced arbitration clause.” It takes away your right to bring corporations to court — and lets them get away with harming you. youtu.be/IEXT-TrKGNA

Only 9 years (meaning he will serve 6 max) for the man who tried to burn down the hotel containing Asylum Seekers. Can you imagine if it had been Just Stop Oil and an Oil Refinery. Be 20 years at least.

For the love of reality, what is with all these AI images plastered all over Bluesky. I’m glad this place isn’t ’the site that shall not be named’, but we 100% will need to improve moderation and label images like these as AI if we want this platform to continue existing.
