i like how “illegal in the EU” means it probably violated a human right and “illegal in florida” means it probably is a human right

Whatever kind of day you are having, I am pretty sure this 19s clip of: “Man sneezes into his trombone during concert” will improve it.

For decades, right-wingers told us same-sex marriage would lead to a war on Christianity.
7 years after marriage equality, the consequences have been so boring that Republicans literally had to make up a case where they imagined they were victimized to justify more bigotry.

@charvor @bryansmart @Faylen @gocu54 @FreakyFwoof The next revolution's been iminent for decades now at least. It's kind of like the rapture, except other people pay the price every time there's an oopsie. Much pro, very life.

@charvor @bryansmart @FreakyFwoof Honestly I'm to the point where I wish self-styled 2a advocates would just cut to the chase and admit they find mass shootings an acceptable price to pay in order to keep their unfettered access to guns and lots of ammo. I've heard all the talking points, and I'm tired of the bullshit, and fuck thoughts and prayers. Especially the Republican ones.

People against child marriage restrictions say they will infringe on religious liberty. 86% of children who are married are girls. So, let’s be clear: if you want this, fuck your religious liberty. #Democracy https://19thnews.org/2023/07/explaining-child-marriage-laws-united-states/?utm_source=werd.io&utm_campaign=mastodon&utm_channel=mastodon

I couldn’t believe this was true, so I verified it. Musk did remove a Community Note critiquing China over their Uygur genocide.
Free speech my ass. This is about protecting Tesla.

outstanding blog post by @CarolineMalaCorbin on the anti LGTB decision by SCOTU
I have read several blog posts on this, and this is the only one that is even half way clear

#Meta is having a very bad year. The latest decision (issued by the #CJEU yesterday in Meta Platforms Inc, et al., v. Bundeskartellamt, C-C252/21) adds to their woes, but more importantly, I anticipate it will force us all to re-evaluate #processing, #lawful bases, special category data, and #inferences derived from that data.
In my article, I explore the case in detail, as well as some hypotheses on the impact of this decision broadly to #BigTech, with examples.
But I’m curious to hear your thoughts and observations. Am I being a Cassandra? Overly pessimistic? Completely overthinking this? What implications am I missing?
I’ll note here (even though I didn’t mention it in the article) that this may also portend the effective death of the One Stop Shop mechanism, which is already on shaky ground after the whole spat between the #DPC and other regulators. Who needs Ireland if competition authorities can also raise issues under the GDPR?

There was a time when I didn’t think anything would go wrong with plugins. And I remember the time when I realized how much trouble we were going to be in. This is the memory of that story.
