@kstrlworks your reply explaining why you deleted your post (which is still up on my end) hasn’t federated yet, but this is in response to that, do you think you could get this information out some other way?

Thanks to the FEC and OpenSecrets we're able to find who's lobbying and funding the age verification laws.

Interestingly enough it turns out the same entities are the largest funders of the UK Online Safety Act, California's Age-Appropriate Design Code, Digital Age Assurance Act and New York's SAFE for Kids Act. so here it is:

Oak Foundation funds:
- 5Rights Foundation (they run the Kids Code Coalition and are UK based)
- Fairplay
- Common Sense Media

Oak Foundation is funded solely by Alan M. Parker the British billionaire who co-founded Duty Free Shoppers.

Common Sense Media (one of Oak's funded orgs) is also independently funded by:
- Bezos Family Foundation
- Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI)
- Gates Foundation
- Dell Foundation
- Craig Newmark Philanthropies
- Hewlett Foundation
- Tom Steyer / Kat Taylor

Combined, the funding flowing into this advocacy ecosystem exceeds $100M/year.

Now you know.

@zaki nevah!!!

@mooniestarrcat like a sloth

I switched from Alacritty to Kitty for fancy image support, only to use it for about ten seconds because it doesn't support bitmap fonts, only to find out that the author apparently has weird opinions on features, only to find out that the author uses AI to code, only to switch straight back to Alacritty.

@mooniestarrcat rotund cat covered in dirt

my friend said if I was an animal I would be a rotund cat. I think this may be true.

@amy what is sg2?

@AppleAmps poker night 2: girls night will be the second poker night game (and the first to let you choose from 9 different characters to play with)

@AppleAmps do not say hornet

@AppleAmps i mean. the original poker night literally was 1/2 (maybe 3/4ths) small-creator characters. give me some indie rep. give me some non-video game characters

@AppleAmps she will. i am manifesting it

@AppleAmps if ladies night at the inventory ever happens i sincerely hope that shield knight is there. like she doesn’t actually currently have the strongest most well defined personality but she fuckin deserves it

@AppleAmps actually perfect lol

If you have an Intel Raptor Lake system and you're in the northern hemisphere, chances are that your machine is crashing more often because of the summer heat. I know because I can literally see which EU countries have been affected by heat waves by looking at the locales of Firefox crash reports coming from Raptor Lake systems.

@AppleAmps should they also have the pyro

Now that Poker Night 1 is back I'm psychically manifesting Ladies' Night At The Inventory with Miss Pauling in it. Please.
