Hard Pass

A bill like this would normally get called a ban in all but name; but since it is literally called the “Gender Delusion Disqualification Act”, it is, in essence, a ban in name as well.

25 years ago today.

Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE who was old enough remembers exactly where they were that morning. I know exactly where I was. You probably know exactly where you were.

So isn't it a huge red flag when the President can't seem to remember where they were during something like 9/11?

Trump has told different stories about what he was doing around that time and now apparently firefighters picked him up and carried him away from danger.

Come on. Time to impeach?

Netzpoltik details that police are able to gain access in this way either through physical access to someone’s phone or by intercepting verification codes via a state-sanctioned phishing attack or intercepting SMS messages via telephone surveillance

someone talked about a mobile wallpaper version of the post with hello kitty. so here that is. a version without hello kitty and versions with higher quality can be found below.

* edited info:

• this is an edited version of this post i made yesterday. the source image is my work
• i am in no way affiliated with the hello kitty franchise. these character designs are not my work and are stolen from Sanrio

i chose the generic android phone size which Pixels and samsung phones use today cuz i thought that might represent the largest amount of peeps here.

high quality version

high quality without hello kitty

some of y'all might notice a problem when trying out these wallpapers: they look smudgy or low quality despite you downloading the high quality version. that is because you phone assumes the image is not pixel art so it tries to smooth it out, making it... yeah, less crunchy. to combat this, here are upscaled variants which preserve the crunchiness of the pixels:

high quality 4 x scaled

high quality without hello kitty 4 x scaled

this should resolve the bluriness you may find with the original resolution images.

yes i'm sorry this isn't a fully original post. i will make... something. i'm a bit burned out with all of this stuff...
it's a surprising amount of work. even purpleposts take their time and this one took waaaayyyy longer than i wanted it to. well over 3 hours of being distracted, trying to get the characters just right... it took a while. and now i still gotta make one more post to finally be cought up again.

imma do it... maybe not today, but tomorrow perhaps? hopefully...

i wish you a wonderful day in which something fun happens.

A Biological Data Centre represents a new generation of computing infrastructure. Instead of relying solely on conventional silicon chips, it uses “wetware” — living biological neurons derived from stem cells — to process information and support AI systems. In contrast to traditional data centres, which depend on energy-intensive servers, biological computing offers the potential for significantly greater efficiency by harnessing brain-like organoids that can operate using only a fraction of the power required by digital computers.
