Hollywood Shuts Down After 160,000 Actors Walk Off the Set
This is the best possible outcome. No one wants that AI generated shit while actors and behind the scenes people make starvation wages.

Pornhub cuts off more US users in ongoing protest over age-verification laws
It’s insane that the USA is becoming a theocracy just because 25% of the country wants that and 75% are too distracted by the NFL and Netflix and are letting it happen

You wanna get really mad? A new practice they were trying to pull off was bring in some young good looking actors; do 3d body scans, record a bunch of voice data, and then have them allow the studios a perpetual license to use their likeness for a few thousand bucks. How evil is that?

A lot of people are very ignorant about history. This is much better than 12 hours a day 6 days a week and getting paid next to nothing. He wanted his workers to be able to afford the cars they were making

The Hyperloop was never meant to be built. Elon Musk admitted it was all about fueling opposition to California’s high-speed rail project so it would get canceled.
Uh unless they caught him saying it/email/memo this is pure speculation and should be marked as such lol. Not a musk fan but people need to demand sources on stuff like this or you'll just be lemmings (the bad kind, not Lemmings)

I mean that's literally what they say in their sign up form, but a bit more self congratulatory, so it's not really a surprise is it? They don't want to deal with randos and reserve the right to kick anybody out for what they consider "asshole" behavior.

US considers 'sun blocking' to cool the Earth: What is it and does it really work?

This is the world that you know: the world as it was at the end of the 20th century. It exists now only as a part of a neural-interactive simulation that we call the Matrix… We have only bits and pieces of information, but what we know for certain is that at some point in the early 21st century, all of mankind was united in celebration.
We marveled at our own magnificence as we gave birth to AI: a singular consciousness that spawned an entire race of machines. We don’t know who struck first, us or them, but we know that it was us that scorched the sky. At the time, they were dependent on solar power, and it was believed that they would be unable to survive without an energy source as abundant as the sun.

Supreme Court Says Yes, Biz Owners Can Discriminate Against Gay People
I think I have to agree with the law, even if I don't agree with the result. The Supreme Court isn't supposed to legislate from the bench. I feel like Congress should amend the Civil Rights Act and add LGBTQ people to the protected groups. Otherwise these SCOTUS decision will just bounce back and forth between progressive and regressive (current MAGA court) courts.

A Rivian owner was in a fender bender. The repair bill was $42,000.
I think the environment is just going to have to suffer a bit more on my part. Until someone puts out a simple EV that doesn’t constantly surveil me Imma stick with used ICE vehicles

That's just the way political comics goes. It's expected and common. It's not a web comic, bruh; there's a tradition to maintain.

doubtful, they know that ships have multiple ways to shut down their drones. It's just to be a fly buzzing around the the metaphorical head of the ship

Twitter now blocking all DMs from non-Twitter Blue subscribers by default
Does anyone actually DM in Twitter? I’m sure the checkmark bots do it not realizing 85% of the other checkbots are propaganda bot accounts too lol
