letting family members sit in for dead senators is just monarchy logic im appalled that this has even happened before

[sugoiney-weaver]

Each state gets to decide how their state is represented in Congress

This has been a common method for a long time in some states

The idea is that a Senator's sibling/spouse/parent/child knows their intentions and policies better than a political rival or a random person would. It's a pretty good way to prevent political assassinations tbh

[prizedpesto]

An unelected individual getting grandfathered into a real political position due to their blood or legal relationship with a deceased elected official is not pretty good actually

Kids online safety package clears House, drawing warnings from digital rights and tech groups

The KIDS Act received broad bipartisan support. But the legislation is expected to face challenges in the Senate.

This is a worse version of KOSA.

The KIDS Act, which contains provisions previously found in the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), could silence online speech and jeopardize us

DO NOT TRUST DEMOCRATS ON THIS ONE!!!

If you can’t safely contact them in person, here are some other options for contacting your Senators:

Five Calls to your critters: https://5calls.org/

Here is one that will send your reps a fax: https://resist.bot/

And another: https://faxzero.com/fax_senate.php

“Congress. gov:” https://www.congress.gov/

Online Age Verification Law Could Kill Whistleblowing

The KIDS Act, ostensibly aimed at protecting children, will raise the risk for journalists, dissidents, and whistleblowers.

They did not in fact nail that joke.

Shameless plug, I also made a short ISAT comic!

let’s talk about how they made it impossible to function without a phone and digitalised everything and then turned around and went “actually! these phone things aren’t safe for kids but it’s magically ok once you’re eighteen. guess you’ll have to have your life dictated by your parents now lol cause we’re gonna take the devices away from you. IT’S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD WHY ARE YOU COMPLAINING”

[do-not-u-dare]

ok my apologies. take away my ability to buy anything too ig because these fuckass stores don’t accept cash anymore. take away my ability to communicate with people outside my house and school because I can’t text and I can’t email and I cant drive to them either and I can’t even fucking get public transport without a phone either. can’t order at a fucking restaurant without being asked to get a membership and install an app and also very sorry but you can only order through our online menu now! have you ever considered that it’s not just about instagram?

Following up on my previous post about how Gaster is not going to happen in Deltarune

By "putting him in your video game series" I can only assume you mean the secret room in one of the two games in the series, which features an easter egg creepy sprite that fans assume is Gaster but near as I can tell is probably a Yume Nikki reference from a developer who has already referenced and homaged Yume Nikki in games he made before and also after Undertale came out

Look I hate to be that guy but Gaster is seriously the most nothing character in Undertale and my money is on any references to Gaster that popped up in or around Deltarune are probably Toby Fox fucking with the audience, which he does often. Either that or we're gonna find out Gaster is the school principle at some point

[infizero]

bringing back my too woke opinion that you should be allowed to change labels without the previous one being incorrect

[infizero]

i think you should be allowed to identify as trans without retroactively saying you were also trans in the past. i think the "born this way" rhetoric is limiting and you should be able say stuff like "i was fully a girl when i was a kid and now im a boy" without it invalidating your current identity but maybe that's just me

it is beyond cruel that venezuela is now a US colony for all intents and purposes and the US still continues to wield sanctions against it to the detriment of the nation's poorest and most desperate people even in the aftermath of an earthquake that's killed thousands

with new innovations in game design, ralsei can now use swear words

[renegadeer]

[li-binauje-artisse]

When i first began a "no recruit" save years ago, i thought it would be the "ralsei is miserable" scenario. Now, i propose we call this the "Queen's gradual fall into despair due to understimulation" route. She is the most miserable person in town right now.
