Does anyone in the Atlanta area know of an apartment complex, business, or other place where these Unitree dogs are out and about surveilling stuff?

Please don't just search Google, looking for people who've actually seen them recently. 🙏🏻

New US Congress Bill Proposal Requires All Operating System Providers To Verify Ages Enshrining age verification laws nationwide presents a series of perilous privacy concerns.

All age verification systems are identity verification systems, and identity verification systems are surveillance systems. @fightforthefuture.org @eff.org

EU: The European Union will require sale of mobile phones with “user-replaceable and longer-lasting batteries” starting in 2027.

The regulation demands “availability of spare parts and manuals for 10 years to curb planned obsolescence”.

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.

Excited to attend the ribbon-cutting for the next segment of California’s solar canal initiative later this month in Hickman. Imagine generating solar power over 4,000 miles or so canals across the state. A lot of Sierra and Colorado River water to save via avoided evaporation.

Chicago Books to Women in Prison Chicago Books to Women in Prison is an all-volunteer organization that sends free books to women and trans people in prison nationwide.

YALL.

There is a charitable organization in Chicago that donates books to women’s prisons. My boyfriend introduced me to it!!!

Yall support!! This is AMAZING. Women’s prisons do NOT get anywhere near the donations men’s do. That’s why my own organization exists.

Text reads: NOTE Lesbianism was called "the game of flats" (or "game at flatts"). This is a reference to games with playing cards, which were called "flats", and an allusion to the rubbing together of two "flat" female pudenda. For example, sex between women was described in 1698–99 as "a New Game / Call’d Flats with a Swinging Clitoris". "Flats" might also refer to the counters or flat broad-pieces used in betting games. The lesbian usage, though it can be traced back to at least 1663, is not recorded in the Oxford English Dictionary. The following poem was published in 1715, though it may have been used earlier in one of Rowe's plays. The poem was reprinted in 1733, with a footnote hinting at the identity of the two women: "These Stanzas were made on Mrs. B––le, and a Lady her Companion, whom she calls Captain." (The Miscellaneous Works of Nicholas Rowe, Third Edition, London, 1733). The Game at Flats. A SONG. WHile SAPPHO with harmonious Airs Her dear PHILENIS charms, With equal Joy the Nymph appears Dissolving in her Arms. Thus to themselves alone they are What all Mankind can give; Alternately the happy Pair All grant, and All receive. Like the Twin-Stars, so fam'd for Friends, Who set by Turns, and rise; When one to THETIS Lap descends, His Brother mounts the Skies. With happier Fate, and kinder Care, These Nymphs by Turns do reign, While still the falling, does prepare The rising, to sustain. The Joys of either Sex in Love In each of them we read, Successive each, to each does prove, Fierce Youth and yielding Maid.

Occasionally, while researching, you find a phase that suddenly reminds you of fact that these people were human, the same as us. In this case this was, "[...]Mrs. B––le, and a Lady her Companion, whom she calls Captain."
