So I went to read the Kids Online Safety Act, thinking that it couldn't possibly be as bad as what people are making it out to be, I mean I'm a lawyer and expert in statutory interpretation, it can't be that bad, right?

Oh no. KOSA IS that bad. It will literally eradicate queer people online.

The bill says that a "covered platform" - broadly defined as "anything on the internet a minor might use" which is literally the entire fucking internet- has a "duty" to protect minors from anything that might harm them, including "sexual exploitation" and other undefined terms

It also gives state attorneys general the ability to sue to enforce it.

So here's exactly what's gonna happen:

Wacko republicans, as they've been doing with increasing force this year and last, are going to sue any and every website in existence, saying that the mere existence of LGBT people online constitutes sexual abuse of minors. And websites are gonna be so afraid of not doing the most that they'll just axe all LGBT everything.

Like. Republicans have been calling all LGBT people groomers and child molesters for years. The lead Republican literally admitted this bill will be used to attack trans people.

This bill is BAD bad. I'm appalled that democrats are lining up behind what is clearly a republican Trojan horse to eradicate LGBT people from the entire internet.

I designed some bases for VTOLs

It's a standard Battletech base, but with a divot that a D20 can rest in. You use that to mark height, ideally using one of the MTG spindown D20s, so you can easily keep track of how high your VTOLs are flying without bothering with paper. Left one has a peg and a slot for said peg, right one has a slot for a 3mmx2mm magnet, in case you want to attach it that way. I'm gonna do some test prints tonight to see how they behave, and if all goes well I'll toss them up on thingiverse and/or cults

Okay the bots names are getting a little too close to Syphon Filter. If I get followed by a mysterious bio weapon I’m out of here. Examples:

So I had my “I’m back in high school and I’m inexplicably naked” dream last night but in the dream I knew I was dreaming because I was naked. I was like “Yep, I’m dreaming. This dream sucks. Where the Hell do my clothes go anyway? Oh great, we are having a pep rally and I have to sit in the bleachers with my junk hanging out. 🙄” The nightmare Morpheus assigned to me last night must have either been phoning it in or was pulling his hair out in frustration.

Jack Ketchum: i could do it King: Ketchum: i could do it easy Ketchum: no one would ever find the bodies King: Barker: would you make it look like an accident Ketchum: what am i, an amateur? of course i'd make it look like a fucking accident Ketchum: what a question

Ketchum: damn shame about that scottish castle King: jack Ketchum: you know what they say Ketchum: you gotta keep diane duane outta the woodwork or you're gonna get some major structural damage Ketchum: the kind that can crush a person alive   King: jack what did you do

Battletech: Instant Action

One of the most frequently requested additions to Battletech's core gameplay is a default set of scenarios that can be used by any players without a historical background or a whole campaign setting them up. Instant Action is meant to fulfill that goal - with fifteen basic scenarios and a fiction-forward way to choose them, plus simple rules for planetary conditions such as fierce winds and low gravity, Instant Action is designed to quickly and easily spice up your pickup games.

Never before have I been angrier at a children's book

Do you wanna know the answer?

Here it is:

First of all fuck you that's cheating.

Second of all it's not even a fucking rowboat! It has sails! It has no oars! Where's the rowing exactly?!
