Hey if you hate censorship and want to do more than just doompost online, you can actually do something: Being annoying!

Hoards of people have been blowing up the phones of payment processing companies to pressure them not to bend to the whims of puritan groups.

Cartoon monster lady, Sue, in a "Don't Stop Calling T-shirt, pointing at a personification of "puritan activist groups" looming over a personification of "payment processor"

Sue's Dialogue: YOOHOO! These motherfuckers think they can pick and choose what you do with your own money. You wouldn't let them do that, would you?

Hey, uh, Michigan residents - you might wanna call your reps about this.

If it passes, it's going to make pretty much every anime site - from AH, to AniFem, to Okazu, to Anime News Network, largely banned, as we all cover queer media, whether it's essays about yuri, or discussions on Bravern.

Michigan Lawmakers Are Attempting to Ban Porn Entirely

The "Anticorruption of Public Morals Act" proposes a total ban on porn in the state, and also targets the existence of trans people online, content like erotic ASMR, and selling VPNs in the state.

Hey folks! I'm pleased to share that all issues of my series, TWO TON ROCK GOD, are available on my shop page: chrisjamesscott.bigcartel.com.

If you can imagine a fusion between "Real Steel" and "Purple Rain", it is my (admittedly biased) view that you'll dig TTRG.

Take care and be glorious!

Hey Firefox users.

Screenshot from a Tumblr post by ralfmaximus: Mozilla, in its finite wisdom, embedded LLM bots into recent versions of Firefox for the vitally-important purpose of… naming tab groups. Now, some users are noticing CPU and power usage spikes caused by a background process called Inference.

Ugh. Reminder again for Firefox users to visit your about:config page, search for the browser.ml.chat.enabled key, and set that to false:

If yours says true then double-click it until it reads false.

Doing that turns off the AI chatbot features in Firefox, but also the stupid new LLM tab-naming feature that's rolling out

Before April 22, I would not have believed a Supreme Court justice would flat out lie- but as the author of the children's book in question, I can confirm that he absolutely did. Thanks @jaywillis.net for reporting on this- more people should be.

Jay Willis @jaywillis.net · Apr 27

Neil Gorsuch told some of the most obvious, farcical, easily debunked lies I can remember a justice telling. I promise you could spend an hour trying to guess what he says is a picture of a “sex worker” in a children’s book, and not get anywhere close. ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/pride...

NYU canceled a planned speech by the former president of Doctors Without Borders because she planned to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and cuts to US AID.

This is what actual campus censorship looks like.

Not only is this bad practice, it also likely violates HIPAA. ChatGPT is not confidential, patient privacy cannot be guaranteed. Anything put into it should be treated as public. I hope this doctor is reported.

This AI shit is getting outta hand, because why my doctor just used ChatGPT to see what medication to prescribe me? Like girl use your brain?? Your years of medical training??? What else am I paying you for?????

Call your GOP reps too. If they are determined to do this, they should know they are doing it without our approval.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @aoc.bsky.social · Mar 12

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

So the thing about modern billionaires is that their finances are actually way more arcane than people think, and this is by design. They use creative terms like "net worth" and "valued at" because in truth their wealth is labyrinth of loans, venture capital investment, and fake funny money

Neysa Jensen @idahoneysa43.bsky.social · Mar 12

Another thought about boycott is that a billionaire makes so much money off of the money they already have, that it's very hard to impact that. Sure, a boycott can cost them money, which they make back doing absolutely nothing.
