Social media warning labels for New York kids are coming to a screen near you

"Gov. Kathy Hochul recently signed legislation requiring such labels for young users on social media platforms that allow auto-play and infinite scrolling. The labels warn young people of hazards they face while on these platforms, such as Instagram and TikTok. The law will be enforced by the state attorney general."

My home for four days at #PortalBurn in #NYstate, USA

Apropos of nothing, here is an adorable #spider we saw when setting up a tent yesterday. She was very pretty and so fast! A smaller spider (or something) came down the tent and was eaten instantly.

I plan to look her up soon, but if any #arachnid or #entomology people tell me who she is before I do that, I certainly won't mind.

Btw: northeast USA, near Buffalo, NY.

Please note that I will be very, very annoying and pushy on the subject of #NYC and #NYState elections over the rest of the year and early next year. I always use #uspol for these so perhaps you'll want to mute that #hashtag.

Or unfollow me - local politics and elections matter a hell of a lot more than federal elections in less fascist times, so I'm going to be louder than usual now.
