‘60 Minutes’ story shelved by Bari Weiss streamed in Canada — and instantly spread across the web
If kidnapping and concentration camps are illegal, where can I contribute to class action lawsuits against the organizations truly terrorizing our country?
If pressing charges against Them on all fronts isn't the right action to take, what is?
No seriously, it'll be helpful to know what people can do beyond the casual like-and-repost.

Steam payment headaches grow as PayPal is no longer usable for much of the world: Valve hopes to bring it back in the future, 'but the timeline is uncertain'
https://voidfox.com/blog/payment_processor_fun_2025_making_your_own_msp/
Someone breaks down why it'd be a monumental task for Valve/Itch to vertically integrate the whole payment processing thing into their business. The essay is highly readable.
The only thing I had to look up was
Escrow: a financial arrangement w/ a third party who holds/manages funds on behalf of two parties in a transaction
My takeaway was that Valve/itch/GOG would still be beholden to the banks who track porn as high risk for fraudulent transactions.
So what can we do about it?
asking in earnest, btw. I buy porn and toys like a regular ass person, too

Reminded me of this Technology Connections video, in which the dude explained (among other brake-light related things) how some law allows electric vehicles to get away with not using their brake lights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0YW7x9U5TQ

I'm sorry, but Doomerism has to die.
The only call-to-action I get from this kind of comment inspires is "give up & go home evryone; your fate is to suffer"
My intention with my own comment is to ask people to please keep the defeatist comments to yourself.
If you aren't saying anything informative or supportive in Public discourse, what are you actually putting into the Public's mind?

Assembly Bill 1240, proposed and authored by State Assembly Member Alex Lee, would prohibit institutional investors that already own more than 1,000 single-family homes from purchasing any additional properties to convert into rentals.
One thousand already seems insanely large, and I'm a one apartment renter.
How did he come to choose one thousand for a limit? Is that a low number? A high number?

Judge stops DOGE from shutting down African aid agency after tense standoff with staff
From the article,
A White House spokesperson, Anna Kelly, referred to Brehm in a statement as an "entitled, rogue bureaucrat" and claimed he has "no authority to defy executive orders by the president of the United States or physically bar his representatives from entering the agencies they run."
It didn't sit right with me reading the summary saying "The White House called Brehm an [etc, etc]" without the name of the person who said it.
