Phantom Lane

Danny Phantom and Lois Lane are an under utilized combo.

One of Lane's sources in a story she was following comes to her with a tip that LexCorp has found a new, and steady source of kyrptonite. Well there's nothing else for her to do but to go the source, one Amity Park- smackdab in the middle of nowheresville.

"No Clark you have your own story and I don't need my partner with me 24/7. Go work on your mysterious expose on the lead levels in underprivileged metropolis neighborhoods."

Only when she finally gets there, after a very uncomfortable flight, in an actual plane for once, she's not a fan. She finds a very confusing situation.

LexCorp employees seem to be disguising themselves by dressing in white and pretending to be government employees, already a story. But they are using this "disguise" to abduct what look like ghosts?

"No Perry I'm not saying ghosts are real, what do you take me for, Clark? No, I'm saying that Superman is an alien so it's not such a reach that these beings are as well. And well, if they are ghosts, then I'm going to be the one to break the story that ghosts are REAL"

So she's going around interviewing the "concerned citizens, once a terrified town now a collection of people just trying to go about their day in this strange new normal." It makes a good line but really that is the vibe she gets. There's ghostly updates along with the weather (and a Fenton? driving update??) but most everyone seems to be fine with working around the occasional ghostly drama.

Her pizza is delivered in a bowl.

Her main sources end up being very convenient for her, at least in terms of location. It's important to be unbiased so she finds sources willing to talk to her with opinions across the spectrum. Including, two doctors Fenton - negative, one Danny Fenton (son of the doctors and without a named credit to protect privacy) - positive, one English teacher - neutral. Danny Fenton is also able to point her towards one Valerie Gray (no comment) who is able to get her in contact with the most commonly seen "ghost" in the town.

"Your name is Phantom correct? Is that how you would prefer to be addressed? A little on the nose considering your alleged ghostly nature, no?"

"So your claim is that Kryptonite is a byproduct of ectoplasm, something that makes sense when you believe in ghosts, which apparently I do now. Although I will need independent verification of course.

"But you're saying that when ectoplasm crystalizes it becomes what is commonly known as kryptonite, something that is famously toxic to Kryptonians. How exactly did these "Guys In White" come to learn and harvest this dangerous material. And less important but confusing to me personally, how can a material that has been proven to be sourced from astroids be supernatural in origin?

"Right, death of a planet imprinting on ectoplasm, no makes total sense."

She leaves Amity Park with enough material to write three separate articles, four bruised ribs from a particularly violent escape from alphabetically challenged weirdos, four new sources to draw upon for said articles, two new superhero contacts, and a new found respect for rectangular shapes.

She is going to get some scientists from Star Labs down here to get a tertiary verification and then she is going to write the biggest article since the introduction of Superman.

And Clark can be jealous since he may have gotten the Superman Saves Metropolis from Raging Wildfires story but she's going to take down a pseudo-government agency, announce the existence of ghosts, AND open up extraterrestrial relations all with one article.

Beat that sweetheart

A 17-year-old high school student in Dayton, Ohio, has been fined and placed under house arrest after authorities discovered he had hacked into the city’s outdated traffic control system and quietly fixed the timing of several major intersections.

Kameron Price, a self-taught coder and robotics club member, reportedly used a Raspberry Pi and a decommissioned school-issued Chromebook to gain access to the municipal traffic grid. Over the course of several weeks, he rewrote the timing logic for at least five major lights along West 3rd Street—drastically reducing backups during rush hour and syncing green lights to reduce stop-and-go congestion.

“He didn’t disable anything or cause danger,” said a traffic engineer speaking on condition of anonymity. “Honestly, his code was more efficient than what we were using.”

But city officials said the changes violated multiple laws, including unauthorized access to a government system and interference with public infrastructure. Kameron was cited under a local ordinance pertaining to unauthorized modification of municipal services—a misdemeanor typically reserved for utility tampering.

According to Kameron’s parents, he initially took it on as a side project after watching his bus get stuck at the same broken intersection every morning for weeks. “It would take longer to go three blocks than it did to get across town,” his mom explained. “He got tired of watching everyone waste gas and time just sitting there.”

Public reaction has been overwhelmingly in Kameron’s favor. A video of the intersection running smoother than it has in years has gone viral, and a local radio host dubbed him the Subway Surfer of traffic flow. Online petitions calling for the fine to be dropped have already surpassed 50,000 signatures.

“Honestly, give the kid a job,” one commenter wrote. “He’s doing more for this city than whoever programmed those lights in 1998.”

So the more I look into this story (found on Facebook so I never should have trusted it) on Google, the less I find it to be, ya know, true.

Also, the image below the purported mugshot might be the most AI thing I've seen in a goodong (typo, but keeping it because a goodong while is longer than a good long while, you know it is) while. I try to be less shit about just posting stuff I find without verification, but I'd been up for hours doing backbreaking labor (my back is not happy) getting my folks through SeaTac along with their luggage.

hi. why is nobody talking about the porn ban in north carolina? the PAVE act is a bill that was passed back in september 2023 (came into law january 1st 2024) that effectively bans users from viewing websites hosting adult content without age verification. (link to the bill)

"-the act legally requires commercial ventures to verify users’ ages if a company “knowingly and intentionally publishes or distributes material harmful to minors on the internet from a website that contains a substantial portion of such material.”

In order to do so, North Carolina requires these sites to either use “a commercially available database that is regularly used by businesses or governmental entities for the purpose of age and identity verification,” or utilize “another commercially reasonable method of age and identity verification.” Companies are not allowed to hold records on any personally identifying information used to confirm users’ ages.

Additionally, North Carolina offers residents the right to a lawsuit if a site is found to record user identifying information, or if a minor’s parent or guardian finds that a website allowed their child to access a site purposefully hosting material “harmful to minors.”" obviously we don't want these websites having our IDs, but sites like e621 and pornhub just straight up aren't asking for them either- blocking their service to the state in it's entirety instead. even beyond the restriction of adult websites, obviously as the 'queerest place on the net' we can see how "material that is harmful to minors" is not just intentional vague wording, but a massive red flag. even if you dont care about the porn- which you should, this is a massive rights violation. how long until 'harmful material' is expanded to include transgender people? same-sex relationships? anything lgbtq? this is a serious fucking problem and it opens the door to hundreds of potentially worse bills that extrapolate on the same concept.

i have no idea what to do to fight it, but if someone smarter than me could add links to representatives or something, that would be awesome.

i'm also going to tag a few people to get this post out: @polyamorouspunk @safety-pin-punk @doggirlbreasts (i have no idea who else to tag, if any of you can think of someone who can help this post get out there, please tag them!)

🚨🚨🚨RED ALERT🚨🚨🚨

if you care about trans folks please take a few minutes to read through this post and share.

They are not even trying to hide their true intentions with KOSA...

"Top of the agenda is to go after providers of gender affirming care, including for adults. The FTC could also go after online platforms for displaying LGBTQ content which would be supercharged under KOSA."

This is catastrophically bad.

There is a HUGE push to pass KOSA rn at the end of the year.

Real quick summary: Blumenthal and Blackburn "rewrote" KOSA to appeal to the right more. They worked with ELON MUSK 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️ to push this bill "protecting kids". Tomorrow, many orgs are bringing groups of parents to speak to congress. This is coming at a time when FTC commissioner admitted their agenda is straight transphobia:

There are two ways KOSA can be passed right now. Either from the House or attaching it to an end of year spending bill. They will try both.

Republican leadership (Scalise and Johnson) are surprisingly what is stopping thia from going through. They wont admit it out loud but they dont like the bill.

WE NEED TO PUSH BACK NOW!! Tomorrow those phones need to be ringing OFF THE HOOK while they meet with parents.

PLEASE SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE!! ADD THESE LINKS TO TWITTER, REDDIT, INSTA, TIKTOK!!

USE THESE CALLING TOOLS AND SCRIPTS TODAY AND TOMORROW ALL DAY!!!

SCRIPTS:

🔴 If your rep is GOP:

"I am urging you to VOTE NO on KOSA, the Kid’s Online Safety Act. This is a dangerous bill that will harm children.

Many news organizations have reported that this bill actively harms kids by exposing their private data to strangers under the guise of protecting them.

We need to hold Big Tech accountable, but KOSA is not the solution.

The bill let any state attorney general and the FTC to sue any website for “harmful” content. Do we really want blue state lawyers deciding what can and can’t be allowed online?

Big Tech is already censoring us. That’s why they support KOSA. This is massive government overreach. We need a bill that actually protects children by creating better security measures instead of bringing about more censorship.

Multiple experts agree this bill pushes age verification, even with the new language.

KOSA hands more private data of children to third party companies, which would put them in further danger. How is this protecting children’s privacy?

What parent would want their child’s private data in the hands of strangers like this? KOSA is actively putting kids in danger.

Do NOT support this bill. Thank you."

Also,to note, Biden supports KOSA: You could try asking your GOP rep why they would support a bill that has Biden's support,and that he could use it to his advantage somehow (we know GOP does not like Biden,so it should be utilized somehow). We need to ensure the bill doesnt pass at all.

🔵 if your rep is DEM:

"I am urging you to VOTE NO on KOSA. Nearly 200 human rights and LGBT organizations total came out in an open letter opposing it. The ACLU is against it. Hundreds of thousands of Gen Z, who actually live online, are against it.

We know the harms of social media, and we know this is not the solution. The new language does NOT meet any concerns brought up, in fact many organizations were ignored.

Major news have reported that this bill actively harms kids. We do not want this. The rewritten bill would still allow any state attorney general, and now the FTC, to sue any website for “harmful” content. When you have Republicans calling anything LGBT “sexual exploitation” or anything about race “CRT” to successfully ban books and teachers, then they will use any justification to censor the internet.

The Missouri attorney general used “mental health” successfully to ban gender-affirming care with backed up research. Suicide rates will skyrocket for marginalized youth with this bill restricting content. Multiple experts agree this bill pushes age verification, even with the new language.

KOSA hands more private data of children to third party companies. Furthermore, updated language threatens encryption the same way the Earn It Act does.

How is this protecting children’s privacy? KOSA actively harms kids. Do NOT support this bill. Thank you."

Tell them you'll vote for your reps if they vote no on KOSA, anything goes. But most importantly it's crucial that KOSA is not being brought at all for any vote.

Thank you, remember to stay calm and stay strong. We've got this!! ♡

When Ratio realizes he's fallen in love with Aventurine, he reacts in the most Dr. Veritas Ratio way he could:

By conducting "field work" and making a research paper trying to rationalize his feelings.

A Phenomenological Study of Romantic Attraction And Its Effects On Human Behavior: A Scientific Perspective on Love

Dr. Veritas Ratio (20XX)

Abstract:

Romantic love is a phenomena observed in all human societies and cultures. It has been a point of study for scholars in differents of studies; all of which have provided biological, psychological, sociological, evolutionary, and cultural perspectives on love. In this study, the researcher aims to gather and analyze existing theories and hypotheses on love to gain insight on the mechanisms, biological incentives, and influences that serve as a catalyst for the development of romantic attraction. Verification of literature will be done utilizing participant observation and participatory methods; data gleaned from the results of the experiment will be used to determine the positive and negative impacts of love on human behavior.

...

Scope and Delimination:

This study considers all perspectives, theories, and hypotheses of love including but not limited to Attachment Theory, Triangular Theory, Color Wheel Theory, Evolutionary Theory, Instrumentality Theory and Reward Theory of Attraction.

However,

The sample size of this study is one participant.

This plot came to me after taking a nap. I'm working on writing it but I have to do some legit research, because Dr. Veritas Ratio would not entertain mediocrity and incompetence, so neither will I. The RRL part is gonna be a pain... and the APA 7th edition citation...

This is going to be the geekiest ratiorine fic ever, my apologies in advance.

[mermaidsirennikita]

interesting how they think dark romance is "grooming" women into being abused meanwhile actual right wing figures are trying to ban both books and porn...dark romance and romantasy are not the problem y'all

Lol yeeeep

And the sad thing is, a lot of supposed left-wingers have fallen for the "save the children (women) from sexual content" argument hook, line, and sinker. They've pushed the neopuritanical wave just as much as right-wingers have, just in different packaging.

Don't get me wrong: Porn can be harmful. Any sexual content, like virtually any content of any kind, has the potential to be harmful. But the reality is that pornography of some sort has always existed and will always exist. Just like (a lot of, but not all) people have always enjoyed an element of voyeurism. People like looking at art depicting sex. They like reading about sex. They like watching people fuck. There's a point where you have to just chalk it up to human nature. Again: NOT ALL PEOPLE. But most. Probably the vast majority, when you strip away hangups and society. And that's not me erasing those who don't; you are valid and your needs should be accommodated, and I frankly think they.... often are. Especially in this cultural moment.

But it's okay to want to consume explicit content, whether it's because it turns you on or just because... because.

There are many reasons why people perceive a porn problem, but the root of all evils is not that content. It's how we as a society treat it, and, on a basicl level, how we as a society expect and encourage people to fucking parent their children.

I so often see people say "But I don't want my kids to read those books" "I don't want my kid to watch that".

Dude. They most likely will if they want to. Even if that content is banned—and I hope it isn't, but I'm bracing myself, and a good cluster of states in the US, including blue ones, have essentially banned porn through age verification laws—people will find a way to access it. Just as they found a way to access alcohol, and weed, and so on. People do find a way to access that content in countries that currently ban porn.

So the thing is—you can either bury your head under the sand and train people to become weird about it... or you can have honest conversations and encourage healthy consumption. My mom told me that there was a difference between porn and reality. My mom read romance novels with me to get an idea of how I was consuming them (and it was fun, because I was lucky and had a pretty cool mom, overall).

And it bums me out, frankly, to see so many women act as if the "pornifiation of society" is what's keeping women down, versus the MUCH MORE PRESENT issues of like... the wage gap. Poor childcare options. The encouragement of the idea that having children is what you're meant for if you're born with a uterus. People trying to rape us all the time, which they ALWAYS HAVE, that's not porn! Red pilling, which is not a porn thing (a lot of red pills eschew porn!). Systemic racism and transphobia, which hits women of color and trans women, and as long as they don't have equal rights, women will not have equal rights.

Dark romance is not leading women down the tradwife lifestyle. You know what is? Christian indoctrination linking up to the crunchy granola girl pipeline. The mass spread of conspiracy theories and the twisting of gender essentialist "I know my body and therefore that of my child better than any dooooctooooor" bullshit that push the idea that you're this Earth Mother and not a normal human being. Not to mention a shitty economy, all those factors relating to women in the workforce I mentioned above, utilized to further push the idea that it would be soooo much easier if you just stayed at home with your babies. And then we throw in the dismantling of the public education system, which is only getting WORSE..... People are just less educated, and they want women to be less educated than men, and that has a LOT going on that has nothing to do with the dark romances women read.

And these people would probably be better able to think critically if not for those issues, so.

[justsomeantifas]

When reading an article I think it is important to ask yourself many questions about said article, these are just some I like to ask.

Is the information true?

Who verified its validity?

Was the verification process politically or economically motivated or inhibited?

Who benefits from the validity of the statement?

Who does not benefit from the validity of the statement

Can you verify it on your own?

Are there other ways to learn about the information that either confirms or denies its validity? (Repeat steps on new information)

Can the information ever be completely verified?

Are there many sides to take on this information and are those sides politically or economically motivated?

Do political or economic motivations make me want to believe or disbelieve this information? Why?

Is the information complete?

If we can verify the information is it enough to agree with a statement being made that’s utilizing the information.

Are there other verifiable pieces of information that may change my perspective given the validity of this current information?

Who benefits from the truth of this information?

Who doesn’t benefit from the truth of this statement?

Can the information ever be complete?

Does the information matter?

For example: When a country bombs a hospital does their reason for why matter when they targeted a hospital in the first place?

If the country proved their reason for bombing a hospital was valid would it change your stance on whether or not someone should bomb a hospital?

Do the laws for or against bombing hospitals change your mind when it comes to the position of hospital bombing?

What does the author want me to think about this information?

Is the author politically or economically motivated towards a position?

Do I agree with the authors political or economic motivations?

Can I parse the authors motivations?

Can I spot their position?

Can someone else help me spot the position of the author?

Are there other authors who have different positions?

Do I agree with their political or economic motivations?

Cosmic Genesis: How Black Holes Might Be Giving Birth to New Universes

The human quest for understanding the universe has led to numerous groundbreaking discoveries, each weaving a more intricate tapestry of our cosmic landscape. A recent theoretical framework, pioneered by Professor Nikodem Poplawski, proposes a revolutionary concept: every black hole creates a new, growing universe inside its event horizon. This idea, rooted in the Einstein-Cartan Theory, introduces torsion to the fabric of spacetime, avoiding gravitational singularities and transforming our understanding of black holes and the multiverse.

By incorporating torsion, the theory predicts that matter within a black hole, instead of collapsing into a singularity, reaches a “big bounce” and then expands into a new, closed universe. This challenges our current understanding of the cosmos, suggesting that our universe is a vast, cosmic nursery, giving birth to billions of “baby universes” through black holes. Each black hole, once thought to be a region of spacetime from which nothing can escape, now becomes a gateway to a new, unobservable universe, raising fundamental questions about the nature of reality and our place within the multiverse.

The introduction of torsion also has far-reaching implications for the long-standing gap between general relativity and quantum mechanics. By violating the linearity of quantum mechanics, torsion favors the pilot-wave interpretation, where particles have definite positions, guided by a wave function. This non-linear aspect of torsion could provide a crucial link in the quantum gravity puzzle, enabling a more unified understanding of the universe, from the smallest subatomic particles to the vast expanse of cosmic structures.

While experimental verification of torsion poses significant challenges, it is not insurmountable. Future astronomical observations of the early universe, utilizing gravitational waves and neutrinos, may uncover the distinctive signature of torsion in the cosmic microwave background radiation. Additionally, cutting-edge particle physics experiments could reveal the extended sizes of elementary particles, predicted by the theory, or the effects of non-commutative momentum in high-energy collisions, providing a tantalizing prospect of empirical confirmation.

The profound implications of Poplawski’s theory, if confirmed, would revolutionize our understanding of black holes, transforming them from cosmic dead ends to gateways of creation. The multiverse, once a topic of speculative debate, would gain a theoretical foundation, with our universe being just one of many, interconnected through a web of black holes. This pursuit of knowledge, even if verification takes decades or centuries, embodies the spirit of scientific inquiry, driving us to push the boundaries of human understanding and illuminating the intricate, ever-unfolding tapestry of the cosmos.

palestine and donations, meandering serious post below the readmore.

i'm considering turning my askbox off because it's like 60-70% people asking for donations for Palestine (based on me skimming my email inbox of Tumblr ask notifications), often without even any claim of verification. does that make me heartless? i don't know. it feels like the strong norm of "it's very bad to directly ask people you have never interacted with for money" is running up against "these people are being genocided" but also "I have no way of knowing whether many of these people are just fraudulent". even when I was on Tumblr back in its heyday I don't remember the "sick pet" scammers being nearly this high volume. I can't think of any platform having this consistent of a... I don't want to say "spam"... problem except twitter in the PUSSY IN BIO days, or email with a bad spam filter. (if you think this means I am morally comparing the two then you're wrong).

i've given large amounts to UNRWA and other aid orgs and will probably give more. i don't know the utility of giving to individual people since if no aid can get in then giving people money just shifts around who gets the scraps.

if you're snarky in the replies to this post I will straight up block you.

One of the key indicators of a broker's legitimacy is the relationship between the brand's establishment date and the domain registration date. If a broker truly operates transparently, its domain should not be younger than its claimed establishment date.

In the case of windealagency.com review, we see that: ✔ The brand was established in 2021✔ The domain was registered on November 19, 2020

This alignment is a strong sign of credibility. Why? Because many fraudulent brokers register domains after claiming to be in business for years. Here, the domain was secured before the company officially started operations, indicating a well-planned and legitimate business launch rather than a rushed setup.

Would a scam broker invest in securing its domain before launching? Unlikely. This suggests windealagency.com reviews is built for long-term operations rather than quick fraud.

Windealagency.com License & Regulation

A broker’s license is one of the strongest indicators of its legitimacy. Without proper regulation, a platform can operate unchecked, making it risky for traders. So, does windealagency.com review hold a solid regulatory status?

✔ Regulated by the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority)✔ License type: High Authority

The FCA is one of the most strict and reputable financial regulators globally. Brokers under the FCA must comply with capital requirements, transparency policies, and client fund protection rules. This means traders on windealagency.com reviews are safeguarded against unfair practices.

Would a fraudulent broker choose an FCA license? Highly unlikely. The FCA doesn’t hand out licenses easily, and companies must meet ongoing requirements to maintain them. This strongly suggests that windealagency.com reviews is a legitimate and well-regulated broker.

How Canadian Licensing Systems Protect Against Identity Fraud

Identity fraud is a growing concern worldwide, and Canada is no exception. As licenses increasingly serve as key forms of identification for banking, travel, and government services, Canadian licensing systems have had to evolve with robust security measures to protect against identity fraud. Whether you are applying for your first license or renewing an existing one, it’s important to understand how these systems work to safeguard your personal information.

1. Advanced Physical Security Features

Modern Canadian driver’s licenses are embedded with multiple physical security features designed to make them extremely difficult to forge or tamper with. These include:

Holographic overlays: Special images that appear when the license is tilted, making duplication extremely difficult.

Microprinting: Very tiny text that is not visible to the naked eye but detectable under magnification, preventing easy reproduction.

Ghost images: A faint second image of the license holder that helps prevent photo swapping.

Raised lettering: Some jurisdictions use raised text that you can feel, adding another layer of protection against fakes.

These built-in technologies make it easy for authorities and businesses to quickly spot a fraudulent license during routine checks.

2. Digital Data Encryption

Canadian licensing systems now store driver data in encrypted databases, making unauthorized access to personal information extremely difficult. When information is transferred — such as when police scan your license or when you renew online — the data is encrypted both in transit and at rest. This ensures that even if someone intercepts the data, it remains useless without the decryption keys.

3. Stringent Identity Verification at Issuance

Before issuing a license, provincial and territorial licensing authorities conduct rigorous identity verification checks. Applicants must present multiple pieces of identification, including:

Proof of legal status in Canada (passport, PR card, visa).

Proof of residency within the province.

Secondary documents such as a birth certificate, citizenship card, or utility bill.

In many cases, cross-checks with federal databases (like immigration records or citizenship status) ensure that the applicant is who they claim to be. Newcomers may also face additional document checks to confirm their eligibility before a license is issued.

4. Real-Time Photo Comparison and Biometrics

When you renew your license or apply for a new one, your photograph is compared with existing photos on record using facial recognition software. This system helps detect cases where someone might be trying to fraudulently assume another person’s identity. In the future, more provinces are planning to expand the use of biometrics, such as fingerprints or iris scans, to further strengthen identification measures.

5. Ongoing Monitoring and Alerts

Canadian licensing systems do not just verify identities at the point of issuance — they continue monitoring afterward. If a license is reported stolen, lost, or involved in suspicious activity, it can be flagged in the system. Law enforcement agencies and border officials have real-time access to these databases, making it harder for stolen or fraudulent licenses to be used undetected.

Additionally, provinces encourage drivers to immediately report lost or stolen licenses to prevent identity theft and ensure the system remains secure.

Canadian licensing authorities are committed to staying ahead of fraudsters by continually updating security features and identity verification processes. Thanks to multi-layered protection — from physical security measures to real-time monitoring — Canadians can trust that their licenses remain a strong line of defense against identity fraud.
