What if Batman Villain’s were the cool kind of criminals and Batman was the cool kind of vigilante that lets certain things slide and Jim Gordon was allowed to be the cool grandpa he was meant to be.

The Owl House: They're only kids. They shouldn't have to deal with stuff like this.

Amphibia: Hello, 13 year olds! Here's a spell that will destroy the moon and fucking kill you lmao!

My hot take is that it's cartoonishly evil how one of the core pillars of christianity is that their goal is to convert the entire world & they explicitly state this very frequently & everybody's just like yeah that's normal

so, they didn't want players killing kids in the new lego star wars, so they made them immune to friendly fire damage, but they didn't make them invincible, so now speedrunners are doing extended air combos on them to cross large gaps and climb tall structures. this has been dubbed Child Flight

So….

I guess we are getting season 4 now….

Just finished Daredevil Season 3 for the first time (yeah, I’m late to the party).

>!<SPOILERS AHEAD IF YOU SOMEHOW HAVENT SEEN THIS SHOW YET>!<

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

Honestly, this show had no right to be as good as it is. For a final season, this was probably the best way to go. All the story elements were phenomenal and the interactions between Matt, Dex, and Fisk were just fucking incredible.

Karen and Foggy were both pretty good in this season, and their arcs were pretty nice for supporting characters

Nadeem was a surprising highlight of the season for me honestly, and that twist where he gets blackmailed into Fisk’s employ by his own boss had me shook.

Dex as a secondary antagonist killed it (literally and figuratively). For a guy who’s superpower is “I don’t miss whenever I shoot or throw things,” it can be hard to make it grounded while still being threatining and cinematic, but somehow they pulled it off. Dude’s an absolute menace, and it’s a damn shame they never got to Season 4 after that Bullseye tease at the end.

And now to the biggest hitters. Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk and Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock.

Having these two go at it again after Season 1 was refreshing after Season 2 and Defenders (not that Season 2 was horrible, but to be fair the quality wasn’t quite up to Season 1). D’Onofrio once again plays the best iteration of Wilson Fisk I’ve ever seen and somehow makes you incredibly invested in the villain’s character and obligatory monologues (something something “When I was a boy”)

And then Charlie Cox. How this man didn’t get an award for his performance is beyond me. His struggles in this season after the events of Season 2 and Defenders felt very natural for someone like him, and his decision to try and kill Fisk actually felt justified (unlike movie Batman using guns). And dear god, his “I BEAT YOU!” speech at the end felt so raw and was just incredibly cathartic.

It’s a damn shame that there probably won’t be any Daredevil shows in the future, but please Disney, if you could have an inkling of mercy for this poor soul, bring back Daredevil for Hulu or Disney+ or whatever other streaming service you have. Bring back this incredible cast. PLEASE!

I know i dont usually do this but..

BOOST BOOST BOOST OUR GAY ASSES GETTING BANNED IF THIS IS PASSED

EARN IT ACT IS BACK AND IT WANTS TO FUCKING KILL US AGAIN

If you don’t know what this is:

The earn it act basically wants to ban a bunch of topics from the internet. If it’s passed there will be NO PRIVACY AT ALL.

THIS BILL WILL ALLOW THE GOVERNMENT TO SCAN ALL OF YOUR MESSAGES AND SEIZE OR DELETE IT WITHOUT WARNING. ON ANY PLATFORM.

This. NOW THIS. IS A VOILATION OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT. A BIG ONE TOO.

The person who originally created the bill is trying to push it as quickly as possible to prevent media attention. DONT GIVE IT TO THEM. BOOST AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. TWITTER, INSTAGRAM, YOUTUBE, IT DOESNT MATTER. DO WHAT YOU CAN BECAUSE I FOR ONE WOULD LIKE TO KEEP MESSAGES PRIVATE.

According to the nextgov article (Pasted from Nextgov.com) (Please note last paragraph is most important therefore it is in bigger letters:

The Eliminating Abusive and Rampant Neglect of Interactive Technologies, or EARN IT Act, was reintroduced into the U.S. Senate on Monday, reopening the potential for Congress to impose stricter penalties related to online content featuring child sex abuse material.

A key pillar of the proposed legislation is augmenting the provisions outlined in Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which protects online platforms from being liable for third party content hosted on their domains.

Should the EARN IT Act pass, it would limit the blanket protections established in Section 230 given to web hosts such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, leaving them vulnerable to potential prosecution.

“There are tens of millions of photos and videos circulating throughout the internet, showing the most heinous acts of sexual abuse and torture of children,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC, one of the bill’s sponsors. “The EARN IT Act removes Section 230 blanket liability protection from service providers in the area of child sexual abuse material on their sites. The days of children being exploited on the internet and their families being unable to do anything about it are coming to an end.”

In addition to reducing liability protections against host sites, the EARN IT Act would also establish the National Commission on Online Child Sexual Exploitation Prevention, which would advise online service providers on how to prevent online child abuse and exploitation.

Initially introduced in the 2019-2020 Congress by both Graham and Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn, the bill brings a slew of bipartisan cosponsors, including Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa; Maggie Hassan, D-NH; Rob Portman, R-Ohio; and Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.

Many of these lawmakers view the EARN IT Act as an important restriction on the power and immunity of Big Tech companies.

“There’s no reason Big Tech should be given special immunity from laws against child pornography,” said Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo. “This commonsense bill was approved unanimously in committee last Congress. Big Tech needs to be held responsible for their role in distributing child pornography.”

The bill is not without controversy, however. Critics have said that as part of its crackdown on child abuse content, it may incentivize web hosts to relax their end-to-end encryption standards to better access users’ private messages.

“The EARN IT Act also takes aim at end-to-end encryption, which is one of the most important technologies keeping people safe from violence and abuse,” digital rights group Fight for the Future said in a statement on Tuesday. “Strong encrypted messaging also protects our hospitals, schools, airports and water treatment facilities. Disincentivizing popular services from offering strong encryption to users will put lives in danger for absolutely no benefit.”

Back in 2020, when the bill was first introduced, over 20 other nonprofits and advocacy groups cosigned a letter addressed to Graham and Feinstein warning of threats posed to vulnerable demographics should encrypted messages be weakened.

“In addition to censorship concerns, the EARN IT Act also threatens to disincentivize platforms from providing strong encryption, which is an essential service to the LGBTQ community, who rely on encryption to access a support network; seek resources to combat discrimination and abuse; and find doctors and treatment to assist with transition and other health concerns,” the letter reads.

Ok look, I fully understand wanting to ban child porn, it’s bad and it should be stopped, but this bill is threaten queer communites, and knowing the fanbase of tumblr (Very gay) this is really bad for us. If it passes, we could be in serious trouble.

PLEASE BOOST THIS!! REBLOG! REPOST! WHATEVER YOU CAN! LOOK FOR PETITIONS ONLINE, TELL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY, ANYTHING HELPS.

And if you still need more proof, just look up “Earn it Act” online and you should see several news articles regarding it.
