Finally finished an extensive rewrite of my screenplay called APPREHENSION, a psychological horror thriller that holds a special place because it was the first I felt I was ready to get some feedback on.

In an unprecedented move, Austria is regulating rents for the entire country.

All apartments that already have government regulation have seen a total rent freeze this year.

All formerly unregulated units are also getting rent stabilization to limit landlord rent hikes.

Innocent until proven guilty. It’s a bedrock principle of due process: the burden of proof is on the state, not the accused. The state must prove your guilt “beyond a reasonable doubt” before punishing you.

Diversity doesn’t weaken unions. Racist bosses like Vance using racism to divide workers by race so they can exploit them weakens unions. All this stuff is arsonists complaining about the temperature in the building they set on fire. bsky.app/profile/diew...

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

Despite the headline it’s not George RR Martin personally going for them cos he’s rich and famous. It’s all of us.

The test case used his work, but it’s about the plain-as-day issue that ANY generative AI ignores and infringes copyright, by passing off.

That’s a win for basic law.

• Said ChatGPT generated 'Game of Thrones' content similar enough to infringe copyright

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

The image is a simple graphic with a dark blue background and white text centered on it. The text consists of two lines, presented in a sans-serif font. The overall design is minimalistic with no additional graphics or embellishments, focusing solely on the textual message conveyed.

Alt-text:

White text on a dark blue background saying, "When the rich start hunting us... people will blame the poors for not running fast enough."

I will not vote for anyone who believes they can use rights to horse trade. I will not vote for anyone who thinks it is appropriate to treat rights, and the well being of the people whose rights they are, as poker chips. That’s not negotiable. Either rights matter as a legal principle or they don’t.

If you're going to volunteer at a food bank because of the current times, please consider wearing a mask when helping distributing food. Even if they're not wearing a mask themselves, poor people have enough to deal with right now, getting an infectious disease just adds to the burden.

📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).

It’s also concerning. 1/

Meredith Whittaker @meredithmeredith.bsky.social · 11d

PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.

I really, truly hope that over the next week the Dems get their shit together, all get on the same page, and just keep repeating that American families are starving to protect the Epstein client list. Over, and over, and over again. Every interview, every broadcast. Starving people to protect pedos.

All these posts praising del Toro's #Frankenstein make me feel FOMO as I have to wait until it finally drops on streaming... damn I wish I lived in an area where I could see it in a theater.

I’d sell my soul to Frankenstein’s monster for a ticket. #FilmSky

This is correct.

His cult keeps saying “well, he was elected president, he doesn’t have to follow the rules now” but the correct attitude is “well, he was elected president, and therefore he has to follow the rules.”

He even swore an oath to do that. Honest!

Thomas Zimmer @thomaszimmer.bsky.social · 4d

He was elected president, and as president, his highest duty is to ensure that the laws of the land be executed faithfully. His job is to uphold the constitutional order, not tear it down and remake it in his image.

Because anti-trans sports bans inaccurately define sex as a narrow binary, many intersex people are prevented from experiencing the joys and other benefits that come from athletic participation.

Everyone deserves the freedom to be themselves and play the sports they love.

How trans sports bans threaten intersex athletes like me

If I was competing in high school or college athletics today, I would have much more to worry about than just being teased for looking different.
