I'm one of many people testifying CON on HB 2112 (age verification for "adult content") at tomorrow's #waleg hearing.
If you're against 2112 -- or age verification for "adult content" in general ... why? After I've testified, I'll follow up with email to the committee with people's perspectives.

Washington State residents: they’re trying to pull online age verification bullshittery here too. This bill would require people to upload their ID/credit card to view online adult content. You can complain to your reps here: app.leg.wa.gov/pbc/bill/2112

"Google says it's no different than checking IDs at the airport."
Sure. If the airport was your house. That you own. And the IDs they were checking was your furniture, appliances, and food to make sure it is Google™ approved. And also they charged a 30% tax on everything you purchased.

Broadly speaking, if you're trying to get people excited about your product by describing it as "pervasive", you're probably bad at marketing.

"PhD-level experts in your back pocket" is a completely nonsensical description of AI but a pretty good description of social media if you follow the right people

17 Pages on @nebula.tv was incredible. There's a twist I won't spoil, but: it doesn't work properly on the Nebula Android TV app. I'll just say the channel state after finishing the video, and checking my sub feed afterwards, doesn't work as I'd expect. Had to check the channel page again manually.

It was a good week for podcasts. Learn about preserving lost media by listening to @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social and then learn about hope by listening to in particular the last segment of @onthemedia.bsky.social

Only one episode in, but if you're zero episodes in this is a pretty compelling argument. At least the apocalypse has some really great TV.

Fear of panic and trying to prevent panic drive way too much in public health. Your job is not to keep people calm, it's to keep people healthy.
