Banning TikTok entrenches Big Tech at a time when people seem to want more competition.
Blocking Telegram isn't a good idea.

Dear Most Majestic Holy Knight Sir Tap Tap, if you happen to know any Australians, could you please point them towards this government consultation on censorship?
Chasing bugs. They're hiding inside this program somewhere.
Unilever continues to rollback the ESG.
I can't help but feel I could have done more here but then when I think about it I've actually done a lot.

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-00902-2 I think this article over-simplifies what could be done at the end, as it's really not that simple, particularly when you know more about how the Internet works (censorship can be extremely troublesome).
That said, it's a good takedown of a social media moral panic.

For some reason, Black Bullet feels like a Pokémon where you summon your own loli to fight other people's lolis, which is kind of cool, lol.
Remember Lisa Lisa?

Someone likes #anime with English openings? I prefer the originals, although there are a few where the originals are in English, lol.
Such as...
Persona 5's openings.
I think Wolf's Rain.
Serial Experiments Lain.
All of which are interesting to watch.
This is a good decision. I don't want to see people getting punished for things they haven't done.

"This week, a federal court decided that police officers can make you unlock your phone, even by physically forcing you to press your thumb against it."
"This week, in an opinion authored by Judge Richard Tallman, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ruled against Payne."
"The officers searched through Payne's camera roll and found a video taken the same day, which appeared to show "several bags of blue pills (suspected to be fentanyl)."

"According to the suit, staff at the Great Plains Correctional Center locked several inmates in small shower stalls for extended periods, without access to basic amenities like adequate food and water. Most were placed in 3 square foot shower cells, though at least one was confined in an even smaller space. Confinement periods listed in the suit ranged from 24 hours to four days.
The suit describes harrowing conditions for inmates held in the shower stalls. They allege they were placed in stalls filled with human feces and deprived of bathroom breaks. Additionally, several inmates say the only water they had access to was scalding hot shower water."
