Alright, it's official. The dangerous & misguided Kids Online Safety Act (#KOSA) will go to a "mark up" vote in the House Energy & Commerce Committee this morning, Thursday, May 23. THIS IS JUST A SUBCOMMITTEE VOTE. WE CAN STILL STOP OR FIX THIS BILL! https://www.stopkosa.com
Some important things: First, #KOSAhas not been fixed. There have been several rounds of changes to the bill, some of which have convinced large DC-based NGOs to drop their opposition, but there is still a large coalition of LGBTQ, human rights, racial justice groups opposed.
@brandonwrites my negativity about movies is rare but I was so put off, it's my father in laws birthday this week and I was just trying to find anything to see, and I just feel like it's always the same nothing every time I look, unless it's something I've been waiting for. And it's weird. The world is weird. And not always good weird 😂
I felt pretty good this morning so got the bike out for a ride and managed to get 5 miles in under 30 minutes, which has been a goal for a while! Finally got my average speed over 10mph. Whew!
"Marines of Ukraine are always brave, always stronger than the enemy and always loyal to Ukraine. Thank you to every sailor, every sergeant, every officer of our marine units!
You have distinguished yourself in battles since the first days of the war and participated in each of the truly strategic battles on our southern and eastern frontiers.
The strength of Ukraine cannot be imagined without your strength - the Ukrainian marines. Ukraine is proud of you."
Międzynarodowa organizacja European Civic Forum opublikowała raport dotyczący sytuacji społeczeństwa obywatelskiego w krajach UE i Bałkanów Zachodnich w 2023 roku.
W części dotyczącej Polski zwraca uwagę na:
▷ problem nękania pozwami (tzw. SLAPP-ami) dziennikarzy i aktywistów,
▷ podkreśla także konieczność pilnej reformy prawa do informacji i oceny ustawy regulującej wolność pokojowych zgromadzeń (by była zgodna z międzynarodowymi standardami),
▷ represje, jakie spotykały w minionym roku osoby niosące pomoc humanitarną na granicy polsko-białoruskiej,
▷ domaga się także wycofania wszystkich zarzutów wobec obrończyń praw człowieka, które są ścigane pod różnymi zarzutami, w tym za rolę w protestach przeciwko zaostrzeniu przepisów dotyczących aborcji w Polsce.
Norway has banned Russian tourists from entering the country.
The government said that as of May 29, new border crossing rules will be in effect for Russian citizens: they will now be denied entry if the purpose of their visit is tourism. At the same time, they will be able to enter the country if they have a valid reason, such as study, work, or a visit to relatives.
The Russian Foreign Ministry threatened "the final destruction of relations" between the countries. #AureFreePress#News#press
In order to play the Apple Music Top 100, you have to go to the website (https://100best.music.apple.com), click ‘Listen on Apple Music’ and then it opens Apple Music, which just says "Something went wrong. Please try again later.” (even after a restart) so then you search for the album, switch from 'Your Library' to 'Apple Music' and then you can finally play it. Good times!
@jonhicks it’s been the worst UX trying to play these albums… but they’ve finally just got them listed in the app! Under “Browse” you should see a link to all of them.
If for no other reason*, I support a mask requirement at #PyConUS because the kind of person who doesn’t attend because they’re required to mask is the kind of person who I don’t want to hang out with anyway.
