Trump Moves to Deeply Censor the Entire Internet

The Trump administration is cynically exploiting calls for stricter AI regulation to pass broad censorship measures at the federal level.

So, in terrible news, Trump's trying to pull some strings to pass this massive internet censorship bill, featuring all the kinds of internet censorship we're terrified of, including mandatory ID for accessing basically any website, specifically to crush state regulation of AI, because apparently this man will always see the moral bottom of the barrel and start digging.

So, if you live in the US and hate censorship and AI you know what to do, contact your congresspeople and tell them do not fucking dare let this through or so help us god...

More direct source of concern

URGENT: We’re one bad D.C. deal away from the era of online government censorship.

Congress and the White House are negotiating your online speech rights away. Tell lawmakers: reject KOSA, NO FAKES, and age-verification man

Gotta tell you guys something wild in the Chinese fan sphere

So some fanartist drew a “sexy” (read: booby) version of a (cartoon) character who is traditionally very non-sexualised. Fans of the character got mad about it because it’s kind of groundbreaking how that character is written and portrayed and this art totally ignores the entire point of the character. They demanded the art be deleted. In response to that other people said, well what the fanartist did may be distateful but they have every right to draw what they’re into. The two sides fight for days and each starts a harassment campaign and even report their “opponents’” accounts.

So far so typical. But things eventually come to a head and they decide that this will be settled by votes - not through a poll. Through donations to a children’s education charity via each side’s portal. Whoever can get the highest amount of donation wins.

And that is how this charity received over 1 million in donations in three days lol. Oh btw the “freedom of expression” side won by a landslide (960k to 40k)

[tlbodine]

From now on this is how all petty fandom disputes should be settled.

[buried-in-stardust]

Both donation groups finished collecting donations on May 31st, and the charity has since reached out to the "freedom of expression" group's organizers to notify them that their donations will be specifically allocated to girls. The charity works with schools to allow impoverished students to go to high school (which isn't free in China), so they will be distributing 7500 RMB each for 128 girls to attend their 3 years of high school.

Also for anyone curious, the character is Luye from The Legend of Hei II. Official design vs. the fanart under the cut:

intangibility

imagine danny got caught in the dcu for whatever reason--dealer's choice (botched summoning, escape after bad reveal, natural portal, etc). bonus points if it's gotham.

he does some research (if it's a different dimension) and discovers metahumans (wow! random people can just have powers now??)

he decides he can't tell anyone he's a ghost for whatever reason, and instead has to choose a power. he settles on intangibility because it would help in self-defense purposes (gotham strikes again).

he's gotten used to using his powers freely, though, and maybe a Bat sees him fly. his excuse? "i'm a meta and i can become intangible. that includes intangibility to gravity."

he uses this excuse for as many powers as possible. invisibility? intangibility to light waves. portal-making (if applicable)? intangibility to the fabric of reality. seeing/sensing ghosts? intangibility to the boundaries between life and death.

he just keeps using wilder and wilder explanations, and when anyone asks how the hell that works, he just shrugs and says "i have intangibility and everything else is just an extension. doesn't have to make sense to you."

maybe he ends up on the justice league's radar for some random meta that could probably go toe-to-toe with most of the league's heavy-hitters.

maybe at that point, constantine, zatanna, or deadman figures out he's a ghost and danny finally gives a list go his actual powers. or maybe he just never does!

What I learned not to do in art school

[si-lee-me]

[parkchanwoohoo]

When my cousin's then-boyfriend texted her that he would be coming home late because he would be stopping by the department store on his way home from work, she, knowing full well that he hates going there, never buys clothes there if he can help it, and generally asks to stay home whenever she goes, knew instantly that he could only be going for one reason: To buy an engagement ring.

Practical-minded, she responded: Don't forget the coupon we got in the mail, there's a discount on rings. Ever helpful, she sent him a photo of the coupon code.

He left her on read. When he came home, he was cagey and grumbling, and when she was like "Did you remember to use the coupon" he was like, "I don't know what you're talking about, why would I be buying jewelry, etc.," not meeting her eye.

Few weeks later he took her out to dinner at a fancy restaurant, spent the entire night grumbling under his breath and shaking his head in disbelief, before going "아이씨" and pulling the ring box out of his pocket and slamming it down on the table. "How the hell did you know," he said, begrudgingly impressed.

She was like, "It's really not hard" and then was like "Did you use the coupon" and he was like "Yes I used the coupon"

And to me, this is romance
