This cartoon fits this very well. #FirstAmendment #FreeSpeech

No, Nadine wasn't the one who was really railing against end-to-end encryption (although, honestly, she probably doesn't like it either). That was the British Home Secretary Priti Patel (who is also no longer part of the Cabinet).

A few years ago, British Digital Secretary, Nadine Dorries, spoke about how Britain was going to lead the Internet, and show the rest of the world how it is done.

Like other parts of Brexit, it is hard to escape this idea that Britain has never really gotten over the fact that they no longer control a vast empire, and think they're entitled to tell everyone else how to do things.

Memes. #kosa

"In his 1925 autobiography Mein Kampf, Hitler described how, in his youth, he wanted to become a professional artist, but his dreams were ruined because he failed the entrance exam of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Hitler was rejected twice by the institute, once in 1907 and again in 1908."

That is where the reference is from. Pretty deep.

By the way, there's a #manga based on George Orwell's 1984. #privacy #anime

I remember that Busou Renkin (武装錬金, Arms Alchemy is one translation which people gave it) had a Victor. It also had that weird butterfly guy, lol. It's an interesting #anime to watch.

Here is Discord's Chief Legal Officer Clint Smith with Julie on the 14th.

Important one to remember. #chatcontrol

Remember this. #kosa

It is a testament to the efficacy of this meme that the think of the children people keep complaining it, even though it is hardly even used.

"If you’re in North Carolina, you need to call the Governor’s office immediately and ask him to veto this dangerous and deeply unconstitutional age-verification provision. It was snuck into a separate bill, HB8, without debate."

"It’s the weekend. No one will answer. Leave a message letting him know you oppose the bill, as do major civil rights groups. It’s a Trojan Horse to censor the internet. Or use this form to write a message. "

Something a bit ambiguous... Lol. #anime #littlebusters

Oh, I see Little Busters is actually adapted from a porn game (a best selling one) rofl

I saw prudes covering this, so I figured it would be more wholesome than that.

I don't have a problem with porn games (or this one, for that matter), as I'm not a prude. However, it dramatically shifts the dynamics of how I might cover it.

Very cute. Also, baseball. #littlebusters #anime

#Overlord. An #anime adapted from a light novel (which appears to have started as a web novel).

The main character is a salaryman who used to be the head of an online guild and played as some sort of lich.

One day, when the game is about to come to an end, and after the other members of the guild had already left, he's transported to another world (as his game character) along with his guild's NPCs / guild.

Surprisingly for that world, while his level is 100, the levels of the native inhabitants are far, far lower.

I've read the web novel, light novel, and seen the anime.

Danganronpa. An #anime where you have to figure out the murderer in each round.

If you fail, you will all die and the murderer will go free from the game.

If you succeed, you will live for a round longer, and the murderer will be executed.

Would you like to see more Medaka Box? #anime
