Or, if possible, abandon PayPal entirely for something else. Anything else. All they care about is money, so take it away from them.

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

.. I don’t even think it’s worth saying anymore

AI is a lack of consent machine

It’s about class and consent

And here’s where I’m ACID about some of this being gendered

especially around CHILDREN which we claim to care about many of the transgressors will be women for shit like this

Say what, now?

A family member sent me an image of a baby dressed in an elf outfit. My baby. It was adorable—and unnerving.
My cousin took a photo from our group chat and uploaded it to Meta AI. While his heart was in the right place, my mind was spinning. What could Meta do with my son’s face? The privacy policy of Meta Platforms says the company can use these images to “improve AIs and related technology.”
In the age of AI, I can’t control where my—or my son’s—face ends up. Our likenesses are no longer our own.

I'm not a lawyer, but if you get fired from your job and they aren't paying you, I don't see how they can say you're not allowed to work elsewhere for any period of time, let alone 90 days. 1) TK needs to get his lawyers on this asap and 2) This is proof it's beyond time for wrestlers to unionize. 🤼‍♀️

Since I can't reply, let me repost. If you get something like Linux Mint, it works just like Windows. Almost every app you use on Windows has a Linux version as well, so you won't have to jump through any hurdles. This is coming from a mint user.

Since we can’t rely on the HHS, CDC, or FDA to say it, I will:

MAKE SURE YOU ARE VACCINATED AGAINST MEASLES. GET YOUR MMR.

Measles cases have reached their HIGHEST point since the disease WAS ELIMINATED from the United States in 2000. We are at the tipping point for the return of ENDEMIC measles.

BREAKING from PP

We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens*

The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied:

Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer

More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

While the Zionists make a big show about Hamas “not returning the bodies” of captives, they’re currently blocking the entry of heavy machinery required to extract the bodies from rubble where they were killed by IOF bombs

Al Jazeera tweet:

"It feels like the whole enclave has been turned into dust".
Israel has yet to approve the entry of heavy machinery and tools urgently needed to search for thousands of missing Palestinians buried under Gaza's rubble.
