It’s really weird and exciting to see two lost episodes of doctor who that have been lost for so many years and were previously watched as recons by loose cannon. Thank you film is fabulous and the anonymous film collector for finding these lost treasures so that a new generation can watch the first three parts of an amazing fourth dalek story and for old fans who haven’t seen them since their original broadcast in November 1965.
Also make sure you donate to film is fabulous so that they find not just doctor who, but more episodes of other lost tv shows and films like the avengers, out of the unknown, Adam Adamant Lives! and others.
Guys, it got so much freaking worse. KOSA is bad, but SCREEN is even worse, somehow.
Text for S.737 - 119th Congress (2025-2026): SCREEN Act
"Sen. Mike Lee has introduced the SCREEN ACT, a bill that applies the "harmful to minors" standard used to ban LGBTQ+ books and resources in schools and libraries and apply it nationally to the internet.
Any site that has any amount of material "harmful to minors" would be forced to employ surveillance tech (biometric scans, ID uploads, background checks) to prevent minors from accessing "pornography."
You will not be surprised to learn that this is backed by the Heritage Foundation.
Unlike some of the state age-verification laws, many of which are being challenged in court, SC will be enforced by the FTC, which has the ability to levy fines, raid business and freeze bank accounts. Yes, meaning that even non-for-profits like Ao3 will suffer.
This is something for all US users to keep on their radar. Call your reps, call your senators, and spread the word to protect our archive!"
- When talking with Republicans play up the fact that this would force Elon to implement age verification systems on X (yes do call it X during the call). Elon's been threatening to primary Republicans who stand in his way so there's fear of him. Also play up concerns about "Liberals" doxxing people or Chinese hackers.
- When talking with Democrats, play up the connections to Project 2025 and suggest voters will not be happy to see Democrats siding with it.

SCRIPT
Hi, my name is [], and I am one of Senator []’s constituents. I live in [city, zip code - leave your full address if leaving a voicemail].
I am calling in regards to a bill that was recently introduced in the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transport: the SCREEN act.
I am asking Senator [] to either take no action or vote against this bill because of its implications for freedom of speech. [insert one of the other concerns listed above]. Thank you for your time and for listening to my concerns.
This is your Semi-Regular Reminder to call your Representatives and Senators to protest against this legislation - Mike Johnson had to basically shut down the House to keep anything involving the Epstein List from moving forward, but that's just a delaying action. If your elected officials are Republican, mention the damage this will do to the economy, which is already looking bad, as that is more likely to get their attention than anything else.
I sometimes wonder what a lion king AU would be like if it was the same story but with the hyenas being the protagonists and the lions the antagonists(basically like an AU swap).
I’m basically just restating a couple of other posts so that hopefully more people will be aware.
Tomorrow, August 13th, Youtube rolls out a new policy that uses generative ai to guess whether a user is 18+ based on the maturity of the videos they watch. Anyone who watches ANYTHING related to cartoons, video games, kids media, etc, will be targetted.
If you continue to use their services once you have been warned, they will “request” your ID and other personal information from you. This is a major privacy violation. If you do not give your personal info, you will be banned.
Starting tomorrow, until the decision is reversed, there is going to be a blackout where (ideally) nobody uses Youtube to force their attention.
I want you all to participate, if possible. Download videos beforehand if you need something to watch during the blackout. Censorship will continue to get worse if we don’t retaliate.
Adult medias that feature gameplay and/or animation are just as susceptible. This affects everybody.
