Late night rambling -
In the days I bust my ass at work and just want to write, a part of me still gets upset when I don't or can't. That I could get it done if I only tried.
I just finished "The Song of Achilles", and it took Madeline Miller ten years to write it. Vera Wang-

"Buried inside the KIDS Act are provisions that will push online services to verify all usersโ ages, require government-directed moderation policies for online speech, and even create new rules about private and encrypted communications." -- EFF https://t.co/4vVQcYPDct
The bill has bipartisan support and large corporate donors, who all have a vested interest in eroding your privacy and freedom of speech. Similar bills have already passed in other countries and individual states and led to ID scanning mandates, faulty AI moderation, the removal of encrypted messaging, etc.
If passed, some platforms will require ID scans from all users, some may try to deploy faulty 'estimation' technology that will randomly trigger and cause your accounts to be either permanently deleted or locked until you fork over an ID. These systems have been a disaster where deployed in other regions and led to many account losses and data breaches.
I own a small diner. Open 6 AM to 2 PM. Breakfast and lunch. Every morning this construction worker came in. 6:30 sharp. Coffee and eggs. $8. Always left a $2 tip.
One morning he ordered just coffee. โNo breakfast today?โ He looked embarrassed. โGot laid off yesterday.
