I sure would like laws that ban companies from retroactively changing their policies on user-uploaded content like this.

delete your old Photobucket account immediately, they have repurposed the business as a broker of biometric data to AI companies how is it remotely legal for companies to completely change the rights they’re claiming to user uploaded content years after it’s uploaded?

Feeling increasingly annoyed by this assumption that winning elections is solely about choosing the right Magic Guy and not on campaigning, pointing out the opposition’s flaws, getting out the vote, and selling your party’s successes and promoting its agenda

This is an enormous scandal and reason for all academics to withhold labor from Taylor and Francis/Routledge

Prime Day, Schmime Day. Hey, listen, indie bookstores are out there being awesome every day. And they tend to ship directly to you, even if you're not local to the store. They're where the books live! And booksellers are book wizards! Bonafide bibliomancers fast with the recommendations.

Boosting the Challenge. And Happy Bastille Day.

Pointing again at my US Blue State Challenge. If you live in a "blue state", pick the red state you hate the most and the issue you care about the most and find a group in that state working on that issue and support them.

Lost in the ongoing Trumpapalooza is the excellent news that a malaria vaccination developed at Oxford Univ. over the last 30 years and costing only £3 per shot is being unrolled in malaria-prone countries. If it fulfills its promise, this will make an enormous difference to so many lives.

Political violence always benefits authoritarians because liberals will always condemn it and authoritarians, regardless of whether they are perpetrators or victims, will always use it to claim more power.

Jamal is at 46,195£ right now and there are rumors the Rafah Crossing may be opening soon- we need 60,000£ to get his family out. We missed the first opportunity to do this when the fees were only 25,000£. I really don’t want to miss another one. If you have a little to give please do.

We were killed in all ways, in all places, and in the most horrific ways. There is no end? There is no justice in this world? There is no stopping this waterfall of blood?

Feel like a lot of political discourse today is very much hot dog man "we gotta find the guy that did this"

I know that the news has been horrible and overwhelming for so long that this is my reaction.

Friends, please remember that 18 U.S.C. § 879 makes it a federal crime to threaten to inflict bodily harm on a former president of the united states. Nothing you want to post right now is worth the criminal exposure.

Long elections waste immense amounts of money. they harass potential voters into apathy. They play into the horse-race, scandal-fed view of politics that feeds deeply unserious media coverage. They NOT INCIDENTALLY make it difficult/impossible for campaigns to deal with last-minute surprises.

note how long it took the French from calling the election to holding not 1 but 2 votes? and organizing the shit out of the second one? LESS THAN ONE MONTH A national election does not have to be a painful 1.5-2 year process! the US election campaign should quite honestly not even have started yet!!

“They want to eliminate national parks” is a very simple way to get just about anyone on the Stop Project 2025 train. Are there much more glaring and life-threatening goals of P25? Yes but even your most bigoted cousin does not want to see the parks system sold for parts.

This!! Start with “they want to end no fault divorce, sell national parks, and ban porn” end with tax structure.

Happy #primeweek! I just want to let y’all know that the Amazon shipping warehouse where my husband works is denying workers fans during a nationally recognized heat emergency and everything you order during time week places workers’ lives at risk.

And we're currently driving up a summer surge in the west. Just a heads up, folks - you can go back to masking if you stopped! It's only reasonable to change your behavior based on new evidence. The current variant involves gastro distress. Who wants to spend a week imitating a hose at each end?

The new COVID variant seems to be evading immunity from vaccines and past infections. COVID cases are up 250% in NYC. Remember the more you get covid your risk for long covid increases significantly. gothamist.com/news/nyc-cov...
