Rep. Finke Was Right: Age-Gating Isn’t About Kids, It’s About Control When Rep. Leigh Finke spoke last month before the Minnesota House Commerce Finance and Policy Committee to testify against HF1434, a broad-sweeping proposal to age-gate the internet, she began with

Is it legal to film ICE agents? Yes. The First Amendment protects your right to film ICE in public, and you cannot be punished for that alone. If you are in a public place, you have the right to record ICE and other agents, as long as you don’t interfere with or obstruct their operations, or break another valid law while you’re filming. If you are on private property, owners can set their own rules about photography and filming.

Our rights aren't up to ICE agents to decide.

Redo of my older Pocket Cryptids piece with a bunch of different cryptids drawn in the old pokemon gen 1 overworld sprite style, arranged like they're in a storage box on gameboy. There's a large higher detailed sprite of Mothman as he's the selected cryptid. Colors are limited with orange, cream, and black on white

Basically: If you run OpenClaw connected to any meaningful system you are not fit to design, program or run any kind of software. That disregard for security and quality should leave a black mark on you for many years.

Age Verification and Age Gating: Resource Hub Age verification (or age-gating) laws generally require online services to check, estimate, or verify all users’ agesβ€”often through invasive tools like ID checks, biometric scans, or other dubious

Our Age Verification Resource Hub is the one-stop shop to answer all of your questions about online AV mandates. What’s at stake for users? How do we push back? What even IS age verification, anyway? Visit www.eff.org/age now to explore our resources and join the fight to protect the internet.

Open Letter to Tech Companies: Protect Your Users From Lawless DHS EFF is calling on technology companies like Meta and Google to stand up for their users by resisting DHS lawless administrative subpoenas for user data.

Even giant tech companies are made up of individual employees who mostly want to do the right thing. Resisting lawless ICE subpoenas is an easy place to start. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Beware the apex preditor of the pond! Should've stayed under that lillypad.

Everything is procedurally animated, giving me way smoother movement than would've been possible with sprites in pico8.

As a teacher, I'm told I can't voice my political views. I will say that I stand with trans & immigrant kids/teens. I value freedom of expression & human kindness. I support public edu for ALL to help students become freethinkers. That's not being "political" - that's being a teacher. #ICEOUT #CSEd
