+3600 signatures in less than 24h since this post.
It is now the 7th most signed petition on ourcommons.

Which is fantastic. Great job.

But 3600 signatures being 7th really drives home how little we use this.

So now that people know the process I would like to highlight some others to sign (1/?)

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators.

“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”

Guillermo del Toro on 'Frankenstein': 'AI can go f**k itself!'

"Art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go f*ck itself!” Guillermo del Toro is a guest of honour at this year’s Lumière Film Festival. He presents his adaptation of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", which audiences got to see on the big screen before it streams on Netflix next month.

your analysis of this political moment is going to fail if you keep using reductionist labels like "wine mom". first of all, there are dozens of factions just within that one term, from whiskey women to chardonnay chicas, and understanding their unique informal coalitions can take decades of study

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”

Playing Earthbound for the first time ever in 2025 is fascinating, actually. You're just a kid and the world's gone mad. All the adults are useless at best or trying to kill you at worst. Everyone talks like a crazy person. Everything's too expensive. Your next door neighbor wants to be a dictator.

Alex says "i'm going to take a selfie under harsh overhead lighting." She continues with resolute determination "I'm also gonna use a reeeeeal unflattering focal length." The selfie renders a predictably monstrous portrait. Alex looks at it and exclaims "OH GOD! I objectively look like this!"

I was at the the No Kings march in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Many elderly or disabled folks who couldn’t make it to Manhattan, but also young families and people of all ages. I stood in the same spot for more than an hour and the stream of protesters was constant. Amazing turnout.

Thoughts from the NYC march.

More people in one place than I’ve seen in a very long time if ever.

The KPop demon hunters ramen pop-up market at Times Square with costumed characters was surreal

Walked next to Ethan Hawke for a while.

We’re gonna win.

A No Kings protest in Frisco, Texas is super impressive if you know anything at all about Frisco, Texas

ghostly gwen howerton @kissphoria.bsky.social · 11h

Similarly, the fact that there are protests going on all over Texas, from the big cities to the panhandle, is really impressive

This appears to be the current tone and tenor of broad American Liberalism. What I will call the re-cooption of patriotic symbolism is noteworthy and speaks to what anger you find in people at events similar to this one.

So dangerous that they must be blown into small pieces rather than arrested … unless they are actually captured in which case they may go home with a warning. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/u...

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson asks if we are ready to crush authoritarianism

He is calling for a general strike and the crowd is going crazy

"Are you ready to take it to the courts and to the streets?"

"We will defend our democracy...we will tear down tyranny!"
