OSA has destroyed countless well-run small independent forums and gathering spaces, had zero effect on the most flagrant abuse (which it was sold as fixing).. and now a survey of kids says it made absolutely no difference.
Gee, who could possibly have predicted this?
Children's Commissioner also furious with Ofcom over a string of failuresConnor Jones (theregister)
two things about the OSA and Ofcom:
1. It was never really about the kids. They were a useful pawn.
2. Notice that Ofcom haven’t really gone after the big fish. And a certain little image board has made a mockery of it all (4chan must have collected quite the fine by now…).
Also - do some digging - the amount of fines imposed versus the amount actually collected. The ratio is hilarious.
Sonny, as part of his job, tends to just leave the mail and moves on to the next house. But this time, a little someone is already waiting for him.
Sonny has no idea what is inside that envelope, or how long this little guy has been waiting for it. Maybe it is good news, a letter from someone far away, or something he has been hoping to receive for weeks.
Whatever it is, seeing him run out so excited makes Sonny happy, making completely his day. Being a mailman means carrying a lot of little stories around, even if you never get to know how they end.

I'm sharing a time lapse video of the process of this video, if you want to check it out, you can find it on the first comment on this submission on my Telegram art channel: https://t.me/panda_paco
That is a short version of a long process video, if you want to check the longer video, as well as the full resolution of this picture, and to be the first one to see many new drawings that I haven't posted on my galleries yet, you can do it at supporting my job via Patreon or Ko-Fi, and also it helps me to keep working as an artist full time, which I appreciate so much because after so many years doing this, I can't stop loving and enjoying doing this, but each time it gets more and more difficult to keep living out of this, so every support helps a lot:

Now I've got Isn't She Lovely stuck in my head.
I can't help having a huge soft spot for Jax, despite how irredeemably awful a person she is. I suspect I see a lot of myself in her; I've been an awful person multiple times in the past — but hopefully not irredeemably so.
That tearful scene under the magenta street lamp.
"I didn't know you could play the piano."
"I only know like two songs. Why are you here? You know everything now… So why are you here? Just to rub every mistake I've ever made in my face? I'm a terrible person. Is that what you want me to say? I already know I am. So why does anybody still care about me? You're not supposed to care. You're not supposed to miss me. You're not supposed to love me. This isn't how this is supposed to go. Please! Leave me alone! You're making this so much harder. You're making this… so much harder."
"You should've just talked to me, man."
"It's too late. I did this to myself. There's no coming back from this."
"Well then, talk to me now."
They embrace.
"I hate you, you know that? You always have to go and complicate things."
"Mm. It's what I do."
"I don't wanna go!"
"Stay with me."
And then, Stevie Wonder Time. All the feels, man.
I know so many absolutely hench and masculine men who are XX.
I know so many elegant and feminine women who are XY.

Data collection is inexcapable at this point. The only thing I'd argue with this video is that paid apps ALSO track you and sell your data. Just because you bought it doesn't mean they're not doing it.

The start of this film is almost absurdly domestic.
It opens with our hero working on a construction site, finding random interesting knick-knacks as he does so. As the work day finishes he crosses town to the station and commutes home, where he puts his favourite film on in the background while he sorts through the bits and bobs he's picked up during the day. He's distracted by a romantic moment in the film and wishes he had some romance in his own life. A little later he's outside cleaning out his backpack when he notices the weather taking a turn for the worse and locks up hurriedly before the storm arrives. He feeds his pet before he turns in for the night.
Next morning he wakes up, stumbles groggily to his closet but struggles to even cope with his footwear. Later, after his morning pick-me-up we find him bright and energetic again and he heads back to work, where he spends a day building the base of a tower and picking up more interesting junk—ahem, artefacts—from the ground. And back home again after a day's work… if he wasn't such an adorable little goober it would be pretty dull. But it's one of my favourite parts of the film.
Little late due to concrud but I’m back from megaplex, if yall have any pics of nev, brock or Yotto please share them with me ❤.
4 cons in a year so far is a personal record, but wait there’s more to come!

⌚ #FursuitFriday
OK, here's an odd shot from AnthrOhio, Saturday night. Me from behind, going through a revolving door.
I want to rework my tail into something bigger, thicker, more kaiju-ish, and carried more upright, with more side-to-side flex. Doubt I'll have that done for WPAFW. I wanna be able to sweep things off tables and bap folks.
No longer needing to design for lurking in dark hallways, and I want to have more critter fun! Not quite as wolfy, but that's OK.
#WerewolfWednesday #Fursuit #AO2026
@xoagray nods - I had Jai and Buster - both jackodiles - in the back of my mind for quite a while. That's the scale of the tail I want, just more kaiju plating and less gator :)
The basics of the back harness are already built into the suit, and I remade the back mane so I can lay it down the upper part of the big tail or merge into the existing canine tail depending on which is being worn (or look reasonably natural if I'm going tailless).
Next step is building and testing the armature for the tail.
Say what you will about Bill Gates but there's some insightful stuff in here. He promotes applying taxation to AI tokens and robots, as a way to "slow the rush away from human labor"

Not to mention feeding that sweet-sweet information to the cops and security services with little or no oversight.
ahh, so this is what the Ofcom fluff piece the other day was about.
aside: de Souza is an insane religious nutjob and should be nowhere near the role of Children's Commissioner.
Nothing in that article backs your wild claims about #OSA
Firstly, there is no "survey" of children. This is anecdotal claims the commissioner references. She specifically complains about the lack of data.
Second, the is zero data on small forums closing. Given how weak Ofcom enforcement is, and that zero effort has been expended on small forums, it's highly improbable. The handful of incidents I've heard were overreaction by the forum admin, taken IMO in bad faith to smear OSA.
