The largest Hollywood casting agency for background talent is receiving criticism for reportedly expecting its roster of performers to sign over the rights to their likeness for use in unspecified "recordings" -- in perpetuity:

The agency included a new clause in its casting agreement -- without SAG-AFTRA approval.

It’s #STFUfriday!

Remember, when cops ask you questions, ask for a lawyer and then STFU:

- I am not interested in discussing how I’m doing or where I’m going.

- Am I free to leave?

- I am not answering any questions.

- If they ask to search your bag (or anything else): "I do not consent to a search."

- I want to speak to a lawyer.

If you talk to cops, Mr. Kim will be very disappointed in you.

Even as new #COVID19 variants rise, some public health commissioners are downplaying it (again):

Dr. Jim McDonald painted a rosy view of dealing with the virus in a public radio interview.

Tell the House: KOSA Will Censor the Internet But Won't Help Kids

The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) would censor the internet and would make government officials the arbiters of what young people can see online. It will likely lead to age verification, handing more power, and private data, to third-party identity verification companies like Clear or ID.me. The government should not have the power to decide what topics are "safe" online for young people, and to force services to remove and block access to anything that might be considered unsafe for children. This isn’t safety—it’s censorship.
