Discord just announced a change to their Terms of Service, which restarts the clock on when you can opt out of binding arbitration. All you gotta do is read the "Opt-out" paragraph of Section 16 & send an email to arbitration-opt-out@discord.com from the email address you use to log in which states something as simple as this:

I am confirming that as of the date of this email, I am choosing to opt out of binding arbitration to settle disputes with Discord.

Boosts pls.

@futurebird Someone once told me "It's not Kafkaesque to wake up an insect. If you wake up an insect and your first thought is that this might make you late for work...*that* is Kafkaesque." That completely changed my perspective on a lot of things.

One of those mornings when you're in the subway shuttle from Grand Central to Times Square, and you're thinking a bit too hard about something, and then you find yourself back in Grand Central again and can't quite figure out how it happened...

The words "under God" were added to the US Pledge of Allegiance in 1954, during the Cold War, under the Eisenhower administration, to mark a distinction between the USA and so-called 'godless' communism of the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China.

When people today quote "one nation, under God" as evidence that the founders of this country created a Christian Nationalist country, they are repeating historical inaccuracies. You are welcome to correct them.

Trump wants to cut Social Security so he can give another giant tax cut to the rich.

Biden wants to save Social Security by having the rich — who have become far richer over the past several decades — pay more Social Security taxes.

The contrast couldn’t be more important.

Having had a partner die of AIDS, it's an insult to have a denier of HIV causing AIDS considered a viable candidate. Please don't vote for RFK Jr. The only viable choice is Biden.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is crazier than you think youtu.be/-t2O3MHTRNM?si=SzWq0n

Just a reminder of what to expect when they take power. They're fucking telling you!

New, from me:
Biden has forgiven $144 billion in student loan debt, and his SAVE IDR can reduce student loan debt in the long run.
Will Biden get credit for this? It matters, because if Trump returns, he will roll back or undermine these debt reduction programs.

Two state attorneys general are plainly running interference for Musk and his increasingly extremist-coddling deadbirdsite. They're deploying state power against a journalism organization -- one of the few -- that takes on right-wing media and lousy work in Big Journalism.

This is incredibly dangerous to freedom of expression.

Given journalists' myopic continued presence on Musk's site, it seems they don't care.

Quacks are crowing that the FDA has "lost its war" on ivermectin. Ivermectin still doesn't work against COVID-19. but by settling a lawsuit the way it did, the FDA did unfortunately hand quacks and antivaxxers a massive propaganda victory.
