Next week the House E&C Committee is looking to run something of a shock and awe campaign, debating at least 19 bills that they say are related to "protecting kids online." Most of which are actually about censorship and control. Don't buy the framing. It's always the same damn thing.
Comic by John Jonik showing Uncle Sam and someone dressed in a suit labeled as "Corporate Media" talking about how they should wrap a present that is labeled "control of internet speech." The Corporate Media guy says "How would you like this wrapped" and behind him are two rolls of wrapping paper. One (with American flags and stars) is labeled "anti-terrorism" and the other with flowers, suns, bunnies, and cats is labeled "Protect Kids"

For people unaware and playing/streaming Where Winds Meet, it uses GenAI for NPC chat bots, and let's you import a photo of yourself and a voice clip for character creation, which I'm sure I don't need to explain why that is fucked up

And no AI disclosure on Steam 🙃

hey @microsoft.com dressing your office 365 ads as security software is a pretty fucked up thing to do if you ask me
window titled "Microsoft Defender" prompting me to sign in with my Microsoft account window titled "Microsoft Defender" saying "Subscribe to Microsoft 365 to extend your protection" Smallest possible text: "Your Windows device has virus and threat protection. For more details, open the Windows Security app." Regular font size again: "Microsoft 365 subscribers get additional protection with Microsoft Defender for individuals: Protection for Android, iOS, Mac and Windows, Premium Microsoft 365 productivity apps and cloud storage" "Start 1 month free trial*"

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Service Outage

xkcd.com/3170/
Comic. Graph with x-axis is time and y-axis is productivity when a major internet service goes down, showing that after the outage begins the line splits, with one end trending down for people whose work relies on the service and with an upward boost for people whose work doesn’t rely on the service. Top branch of line has mini art of a person sitting at their computer desk thinking, “Aw man, the outage took down the Star Wars Legends Wiki.”

You know why YTP was so popular?

It wasn’t content

It was anti-content

It was people pushing back. Sick of the mainstream. Taking what was popular and distorting it into nonsense

We could really use YTP right about now

roblox ceo: we are innovating ways to get kids addicted to gambling
Roose: Would you ever put a prediction market inside Roblox — like, let kids bet with their Robux and say, “I bet he’s gonna steal a Tung Tung Tung Sahur?” Newton: Or, “I bet he’s not gonna Dress to Impress.” Baszucki: We would — I think we would have to do that — once again, I’ll share some of the complexity. Every single country in the world has different legislation around loot boxes and kid gambling. And so we would have to be — it sounds very fun and obvious. Like, I love that — Roose: Oh, to be clear, I think this is a horrible idea. Newton and Baszucki: (laughter) Roose: I was just interested if you were thinking about it. Baszucki: Well, I actually think it’s a brilliant idea if it can be done in an educational way that’s legal. And so, imagine no free Robux, no free prizes, just a game called the Dress to Impress Predictor, where it’s not like trying to get kids’ money or anything like that. I would be a big fan of it.

CDC has overhauled its website to assert that “the claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim”
Autism and Vaccines QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS PAGE 2 OF 9 | ALL PAGES J For Everyone NOV. 19, 2025 KEY POINTS • The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism. • Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities. HHS Research on Plausible Biologic Mechanisms between Vaccines and Autism HHS will evaluate plausible biologic mechanisms between early childhood vaccinations and autism. Mechanisms for further investigation include the impacts of aluminum adjuvants, risks for certain children with mitochondrial disorders, harms of neuroinflammation, and more. * The header "Vaccines do not cause autism" has not been removed due to an agreement with the chair of the U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee that it would remain on the CDC website.

A reminder that anyone asking you out of the blue to "try my game" and sends you a .rar/.zip or an Itch link most likely is a compromised account trying to steal yours.

Do not trust them.

Full post from my Discord as a screenshot with alt text provided.
Some accounts from people in this community and in other similar communities have been hijacked by malicious folk and are currently going around asking people to "try out my project" or "try out my game" and asking for feedback or saying it's for a grade for school, etc.. Usually this is an itch.io link and they ask you to play test it. Sometimes this is a .rar or .zip file with a password. :warning: These are UNSAFE :warning: If you download and run the program, it will grab all of your current logged in sessions and hijack your accounts, bypassing passwords and 2-factor auth because they are using your current logged in session to bypass logging in. Even if your friend is a game developer, I would not recommend trusting any requests like this out of the blue. Even if they have a proper Itch page for it, it's usually **stolen from a real game to pretend to be real**. **Also, keep in mind if they have stolen the Discord account, and you attempt to verify it's them on another platform like bsky, it's likely that account is ALSO compromised and it's likely not them. ** If you get a link on Itch.io from them, usually these are games that are under 180 days old (I notice usually under 60, rarely higher). Instead of downloading them, instead, use Google's Reverse Image Search to check if the game images show up elsewhere from the Itch page. You can report these at the bottom and I recommend reporting it to inform Itch this is a token stealer and link them to the original game.

Rock Band is 18 years old. Y'all know what that means 😏😏 that's right.

It is legally allowed to operate a 2019 Viper Rt80 8000lb Air Pneumatic Forklift Hatz Diesel Lift Truck... with proper certification, of course

@tangled.org is such a great role model for projects in this moment

- actually does the thing: useful, accessible
- innovates/differentiates at *product* level: stacked review
- hybrid at proto layer (git and AT), pulls in bsky profile data
- built in europe by small amitious team
