Also STOP CSAM is only one of the bad internet bills they're potentially trying to sneak through this week. EARN IT also weakens encryption. KOSA is especially harmful to LGBTQ+ people. Cooper Davis Act turns tech companies into DEA informants.

EFF's got actions on all of them in this thread. mastodon.social/@eff/110775891

@ChrisMayLA6 here's an inverse one which just shows how irony is fucking with us...

Big ships produce pollutants. Efforts to control this for air quality purposes has had a positive effect, but also resulted in a reduction in high-atmosphere aerosols. These are good at reflecting sunlight/heat back into space, which reduces heat. So, we've managed to contribute to warming by cleaning up the air.

Seriously, call your Senators now. This needs to be stopped before it goes any further. They want to drive LGBTQIA+ off the internet entirely, and Democrats are on board.

DeSantis is being funded by the same donors behind Trump's first coup attempt.

@Sheril the vigor with which Texas is destroying its future is really something to see. I’ve lived here nearly 20 years and would actively discourage anybody I know from moving here. That was not the case just 5 years ago.

I have to repost these wise words again from @densaer on the "OODA Loop" #OODALoop #OODA - they are so relevant to these times. After reading about how #tourists were attempting to just act as if nothing was wrong in Rhodes, Greece, even if the face of burning wildfires. These words came back to me once again--well worth internalizing this one in a world of #climate disasters.

@MaggyWells @dcdeejay @Teri_Kanefield Indeed, there are plenty, such as myself. But many, if not most, didn't grow up with a healthy suspicion of authority and information sources.

Well, and there is always this one character, that needs to escalate things. Meet Don Diego de Corral y Arellano in 1631, holding more than just one letter. This power move is called the ultimate paper practice: signaling multitasking excellence by dealing with more than one news flow simultaneously. Eat my dust, you losers. I am the cosmos. These are my paper letters!

@LindaCollins11 What about HIPAA and all the costly and time-consuming measures taken to protect your medical privacy? How is this even possible?

19 states are requesting women's medical records to see if they have traveled to get an abortion or for any contraception or gender surgical procedure. WTF? What happened to medical privacy? When it was for covid info, records were blocked, giving the unvaccinated permission to spread disease. But your most personal info is okay because you are a woman, so therefore, property of the state you live in?

@ai6yr I don't go to other countries in order to eat at McDonalds. However, when traveling I will visit a McDonalds at least once in a country in order to observe the subtle differences and to see how well they're doing at their corporate goal of providing the same food at every McDonalds in the world. There are usually some local menu accommodations that I find interesting. For me it's an insight into the local culture.

Also, McDonalds is often useful for the same reason it's useful here. If I'm travelling on a road trip with a group, family, or other gang of people, McDonalds is a great place to stop and refuel without wasting time.

So, might you find me in a McDonalds in Milan? Absolutely.

A defunded IRS means a tax evasion free-for-all for the ultra-rich.

The richest 1% already evade as much as $163 billion a year in taxes.

This is why the GOP relentlessly tries to gut IRS.

It’s all a ploy to help their wealthy mega-donors.

@edpeters @SrRochardBunson “Though he was already deceased when his body was dumped into a central square in Milan, that didn't stop swells of people from beating, spitting on, and screaming at his remains. Along with his mistress Clara Petacci and 14 other fascists, Benito Mussolini's body was beaten beyond recognition and hung above a gas station – a symbol of what the world thought of Axis leaders at the end of WWII.” That says it all right there.

@HamonWry Way too much fat. Boil for several hours to render the fat and discard before proceeding with any recipe.
