AU where Carlos is working for the BSAA post re3r. Carlos is sucking Jill’s strap-on with an intense look of concentration on his face holding her tight, while Jill looks panicked at hearing Chris and Rebecca talking near the janitor closet in which they’re currently hiding. Chris: Hey Becca, seen Jill around ? The boss wants to see her. Rebecca: She probably ran away to eat lunch with Carlos… Wanna grab a bite while we’re at it ? There is a new place close by.

They’re for sure having lunch, but not the type of lunch you‘re thinking of, Rebecca. 😩

I QRP but also putting this in replies:

Here's some actionable info.

It's in committee, meaning we can kill it before it ever reaches the floor (most bills die in committee and never reach the floor)

These are the current members, if they're your rep, call them.

Re: 'H.R. 8250' "Parents Decide Act". This bill wants to force age verification on the operating system level.

If you see one of your reps listed below, CALL THEM so we can kill this in committee

It’s clumsy and invasive, critics say, about lawmakers’ proposal to restrict social media use by teens - The Boston Globe Proposals from on Beacon Hill aimed at curbing social media use among teens have run into a range of practical, constitutional, and security challenges.

This @bostonglobe.com piece highlighting substantive critiques of Massachusetts' "protect the kids" push for online ID checks is rock solid.

Many experts quoted along with parents and young people who would be directly impacted.

Opening text of a thread by Palantir from X Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.

Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic. It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different.
twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...

21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures ... have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

⚠️ Palantir released what it describes as a vision for “The Technological Republic” in which it argues AGAINST democratic and cultural pluralism and FOR militaristic supremacy enforced by a technocratic elite who produce AI weaponry.

These points stand out:

"My reps are conservative so I'm not gonna call them about issues."
Yeah? And let them just go unyelled at by you? Come on.

A lot of our big “we’re gonna hold big tech accountable” bills actually hand them + the government unprecedented power to track, censor, and deplatform internet users—and would require us to link our identities to everything we do online, meaning no more privacy. Greatly reducing opposition to them

Hey seriously, literally in the bills it says they'll also use identifying information, such as your age data for "other purposes". That means your data goes into a government surveillance database. This would be for ANY *OS*, which is the thing your fucking PC runs off of.

Call your reps NOW.

Everytime you think "ah finally, a good use for AI", you should step back and realize that such a response is exactly the kind of wedge corpos are trying to drive between laborers

Everyone's expertise and craft is "finally a good use for AI" to those outside the field.

Learn solidarity please

Screenshot of a $350 ko-fi goal with the description: "While I continue to fight for the reopening of my SNAP case, I am going on 2 months with out it and rationing meals has been quite exhausting. As well as the continued search for a job while catching up on my commissions queue and setting up for college classes this summer. Sufficed to say I would rlly appreciate a little help getting some groceries. 💔"

💥 I hate to be here asking for help again but I'm still struggling under the discontinuation of my food stamps 💔 Poor diet has taken a toll on both my physical and mental health the past two months. ❗❗

Im willing to do some sketches for $50+ donations! 🙏

A tweet from Representative Thomas Massie that reads: I just viewed 2 Top Secret FISA docs. 1) FISA Court opinion that raises serious concerns about FBI implementation of FISA 702. 2) letter by Senator Wyden describing a secret government interpretation of FISA law. The Constitution requires I vote No on FISA 702 reauthorization.

I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about.

Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.

The Pope saying we should feed the hungry doesn't override the Catholic Church attacking trans people again.

Choosing evil makes you evil every time.
