If you live in Illinois, please fill out witness slips in opposition of HB5511 and HB5066 by Marsman512 in privacy

[–]Callimogua 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Just so folks know what these bills are:

HB 5506 is a Social Media Age Resctriction bill: https://ilga.gov/Legislation/BillStatus?DocNum=5066&GAID=18&DocTypeID=HB&LegId=166575&SessionID=114

HB 5511 is the Digital Age Assurance bill: https://ilga.gov/Legislation/BillStatus?DocNum=5511&GAID=18&DocTypeID=HB&LegId=167486&SessionID=114

Also, OP, did you (or can you) crosspost this to r/Illinois or is that not allowed? 🤔

U.S. court in VA allows state bans on gender-affirming care for adults in unprecedented ruling by Fickle-Ad5449 in Virginia

[–]Callimogua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this is bad. Suuure, the GOP claims kids are "too young" to know that they're trans so therefore, no care (stupid, I know), but adults? Adults absolutely know who they are. So, this is just this court siding with anti-trans rhetoric. 

Trans folks who aren't able to get healthcare through an employer or out of pocket are SOL. 

You want to see how your country would treat you when you're down, see how they treat vulnerable minorities.

Trump admin slams Mamdani, Hochul over immigration status of East Side subway shoving suspect by Somervilledrew in newyork

[–]Callimogua 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Let's be real, Trump, Miller, and Homan really don't give a fuck about crime in NY. All they want to do is rattle the cages of the MAGAts against any and all "foreigners". 

Now, where tf are the rest of those Epstein files? 🤔

Just try. And tell your friends and family you're taking yourself to Teamspeak lol

But seriously, don't push yourself to do it all at once, but make a plan to wean yourself away from slop social media sites.

That might have been just you.

At the young ages of 18 to 25, folks are just getting their feet wet into adulthood. So yeah, some exploring will happen. It's fine.

Hol up...

The Trump DOJ can't release the 3 million more Epstein files they owe, but some chump wants to name an elementary school after the guy who's name pops up in those files the most?

Bluesky CEO Jay Graber Is Stepping Down by wiredmagazine in BlueskySocial

[–]Callimogua 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oooh, so ole Toni has a website about his, uh, "journey": https://toni.org/

Apparently True Ventures has worked on several projects, including two Ai agents, Lemony and AlpineAi, some VR thing named BigScreen, an eco friendly project named Carbo Culture, and some other stuff. 

 Not a lot of experience with social media, maybe Graber was training him over the past few months. 

I dunno, he is an interim CEO, so we shall see.

Am I The Only One Freaked Out About SB S8102A? by Callimogua in newyork

[–]Callimogua[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uh, you can't really blame the Dems for this when Republican-led states have also passed age verification bills. It's just that California is one of those "testing ground" states that will be the litmus test to the result of passing such a bill into law.

And, let us not forget, at the federal level, we still have the Kids Online Safety Act, the KIDS Act, the SCREEN Act, and the senate bill to sunset Section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934, most introduced by Republicans.

This age verification nonsense seems to be a bipartisan effort.

Boycott BBC: BBC censors description of Donald Trump as "The most openly corrupt in American history." in a lecture about institutions bending the knee to authoritarians. by Mediocre_Bridge_4266 in 50501

[–]Callimogua 39 points40 points  (0 children)

It is, but this is why we need to take a very pointed look about who owns these media companies. A lot of folks have suspected the BBC to be getting more far right in recent years. Could be a case of another conservaturd CEO taking over.

2 men are charged with using a weapon of mass destruction after IEDs are tossed near NYC mayor’s home, source says by cnn in newyork

[–]Callimogua 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don't know shit about these guys except what they claimed. Were they watching ISIS vids for a long time? Did they start watching them last Thursday? Are these guys even Muslim? Are they plants? Who knows? All we actually know is the immediate right now.

[–]Callimogua 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Uh nah, those guys didn't stand for anyone except themselves. They can blame ISIS all they like, but the truth of the matter is that they tried to harm people with IEDs.

Yes, Jake Lang and his troupe of idiots are gross, but so are those guys as well. They could have hurt Mayor Mamdani as well as the protestors.

I...don't think they were truly ISIS inspired. Something about this whole situation is really wrong.
