Hey do y'all remember several years ago when we were all freaking out about net neutrality being overturned? Well despite net neutrality's win in 2024, a federal court just overturned it.

For those who aren't aware, net neutrality is the simple principle that companies like Verizon and Comcast should treat all web traffic equally – not pick and choose based on who is willing to pay more or who they like best. Big Tech companies obviously don’t like that – which is why they spent millions lobbying against it over the years.

Now, these megacorporations will be able to seize control back over our Internet. The likely result? Throttled access to streaming services, monopolistic pricing that cuts out competition, and a slower, walled off, and less free Internet for all of us.

And unfortunately, rulings like this will only get more common now that the Supreme Court has overturned the “Chevron deference” – giving judges, rather than qualified public servants, a blank check to toss out protections like net neutrality, environmental safeguards, or food safety standards.

When Trump’s FCC repealed net neutrality back in 2017, they gave big corporations total control over our Internet – putting free and open access at risk.

Internet providers responded by exploiting their newfound power to speed up certain websites, and slow down – or even block – others. They failed to provide crucial Internet infrastructure in rural areas, low-income communities, and communities of color. They even slashed firefighters’ Internet access during severe wildfires.

But over 126,000 people spoke out and we were able to reinstate net neutrality – until now.

The time has come again to take action: please sign this petition from Common Cause so we can reinstate net neutrality.

Laptops are always so much more Fucked than phones in my experience. A laptop is like a beautiful horse that wants nothing more than to break all of its legs. A decently solid android phone will act normal

When I hear the argument "but the fetus is half my DNA, I should get a say," I think, You HAD a say earlier, but once the situation exclusively involves her body, it's up to her what happens now.

My sweet sweet Shallan. It took me awhile to really be able to imagine her on paper and I really wanted to capture her enthusiasm, hesitancy, anxiety, and self-consciousness. She truly is one of my favorite character out there because of how real she feels through the workings of a teenager who is dealing with her personal trauma in the midst of tragic world events.

Girl, do NOT let that 19th century soldier try to fool you with weaponized incompetence. Yes he DOES know how to cook and clean, that's like half of his job!! Girl he has a sewing kit with him to make basic repairs to his clothes, I don't care if he calls it a "hussif." He has like five different types of clothes brushes and knows how to neatly pack everything he owns.
