It will be worse than this! Most websites will be forced to ask you to send your ID to a third party surveillance service, adding a credit card won't be enough for most. Bluesky asks for your *social security number* if you live in Texas now, due to this shit. Call in, and kill it.

This will be the US if the SCREEN Act passes. Call your Senators before August 5 and tell them that you oppose the SCREEN Act, KOSA, and the KIDS Act. Use the official lookup tool at www.senate.gov/senators/sen... to find yours by state.

Relevant to this, super proud of my city today. We fought the datacenter and won! Maybe @mark-carney.bsky.social should pay attention to what Canadian actually want.

We just launched Canada’s new AI Strategy: AI For All.    We’re taking control of our future — with AI that’s governed by Canadian values, AI that’s accountable to Canadians, and AI that serves all Canadians.    www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/news...

I’m reminded of Pete Doctor asking Miyazaki when he makes changes (to his films) for himself or changes for the audience and Miyazaki replying he never thinks about the audience.

Nothing is more depressing than watching young artists give other young artists advice like “only use one colour palette in everything you do to have a more recognizable brand” and “draw everything with a target audience in mind”

Jamaica (1686): “Every man killing a [rebellious] negro to have £20, or, if a servant, his freedom…every man taking a negro to have £40; any party killing a negro to divide £20 round."

Henry Cromwell did propose a scheme in 1655 to send a thousand Irish "girls and youths" to Jamaica to shore up the settlement there, but there is no indication it was ever fulfilled. The evidence points towards Barbados being the main destination, w/ some arriving in other colonies (e.g. Bermuda).

It is oft repeated that Jamaica (most recently re: the Thomas Gould 'accent' story) was a direct destination for many of the estimated thousands of Irish forcibly shipped to the West Indies by the Cromwellian regime, but in actuality we have little historical evidence of this.

The townland of 'Dalysgrove' in Galway is where Peter's great grandfather Dermot Daly had been transplanted by the Cromwellian regime in the 1650s.

Peter Daly of Galway immigrated to Jamaica in the 1780s and named one of his plantations in Jamaica 'Dalysgrove' after his home in Galway. By the 1820s he owned 120 slaves. In 1834 he claimed compensation for 113 slaves and was awarded £2,318.
