If you are a Canadian citizen or resident, and you hate "AI"¹, please fill out this survey.

The survey questions are *extremely* biased, so this will not be a fun experience, but I think it is worth it.

this is a really good sign, but it's not over until it's over. Germany has flipped before, and we cannot risk it flipping again. Germans, continue to voice your opposition to your MEPs/MPs. likewise, everyone else in the EU should be similarly vocal!

we have 7 more days!

Fight Chat Control @fightchatcontrol.bsky.social · 7d

🇩🇪 Germany is AGAINST Chat Control:

Jens Spahn: "We as the CDU/CSU parliamentary group are against indiscriminate monitoring of chats. That would be like preemptively opening all letters to check whether there's something illegal in them. That's not acceptable, that won't happen under our watch."

Germany voices opposition to Chat Control, tilting the balance.

A screenshot from Zelda Williams' instagram stories. It reads:

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. Its dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough', just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

The second Instagram stories screenshot from Zelda Williams. It reads:

"And for the love of EVERY THING, stop calling it 'the future'. AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume."

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

hi, cis folks!

do you trust the senate to decide whether you can have healthcare or if you legally exist under the law or where you can legally wash your hands or pee? neither do we!

please tap into the thread & tell senators our civil rights & lives matter—even more than the jimmy kimmel show!

Trans healthcare bans are a part of HB 3944, HB 4016, HB 3838, HB 4213, HB 4779, HB 5342, HB 5304, HB 5116, and SB 2296.
Provisions that end the legal recognition of trans people are part of HB 3838, HB 4552, and HB 5342.
Sec 594 of HB 5342 is a prison ban that sees that no federal funding can be used to place an incarcerated person in a prison inconsistent with their "biological sex
There are SOCIAL transition bans as part of HB 5342 and HB 5304.
A provision to ensure trans and queer foster kids can be taken in by homes where they'll be forced to endure conversion therapy and abuse is part of HB 5304.
Bathroom bans are a part of HB 3838 and HB 5342.
Despite House and Senate Democrats uniting as a bloc against transgender sports bans in January and February of this year (with the exception of the 4 notable and vocal House-D bigots), sports bans are a part of HB 3838, HB 5304, HB 5342, and SB 2296,
Sections that even allow same-sex marriage discrimination appear in HB 4016, HB 4121, HB 4213, HB 4249, HB 4552, HB 4553, HB 5342, HB 4754, and HB 5304.
Are you getting the picture?

Custom Range Blaster @customrangeblaster.bsky.social · 21d

I was a day one S-BLAST hater

Custom Range Blaster
• Added 1 year and 9 months after launch despite being a Splatoon 1 weapon (also the last blaster to get a second kit)
• 1 small main weapon buff after 7 years of nothing (reverted 9 months later)
• 2 main weapon nerfs, went 200p to 210p, and Kraken Royale nerfed within 3 months
• Only got one sticker to differentiate it from Range Blaster when other second kits got way more.
• Needs at least .9AP of Intensify Action for reliable jump shots (1.0AP for Blasters other than Luna and S-BLAST is worth less than .3AP is for everything else by the way)

S-BLAST '91
• Added ONLY 6 MONTHS after S-BLAST '92 was added
• 4 notable main weapon buffs over the course of 1 year
• Went 190p to 200p and got 2 main weapon nerfs, but Booyah Bomb still got buffs
• Got a distinct colour-scheme from '92
• Doesn't need Intensify since the long range shots are reliable and the short range shots only have 6 degrees of scatter (most Blasters have 8 degrees), gear is only really restricted by Ink Saver Sub.

We should not care or reward Disney for this. We must make their bottom line hurt for even considering doing something like this. Don't let up. Other companies need to see that bowing to fascism is not something you can do without consequence.
