News: Feb 26, 2025 Show

Feb 26th:A new bill in Arizona is making its way through the Senate that would force sites like e621 to implement mandatory age verification for all users—or face potential lawsuits. This system would require third-party vendors to verify every user’s age through a government database. Not only is this a massive violation of privacy, but it also introduces serious risks, including identity theft through phishing schemes and other malicious methods. Worse still, we would have no control over ensuring that user data is permanently deleted after verification.

Since e621 operates out of Arizona, this law would almost certainly impact us if it passes. If you want to help ensure that we can continue serving you without being forced to collect personal information, we urge you to contact Arizona’s senators and ask them to vote NO on this bill.

Please help spread the word about this issue and encourage others to take action.

    i require context

    I don't have the context to this incident per say, but I'm like 90% sure it's from this comic called Mark Trail, which was drawn by Jack Elrod, except really early on, until he died a few years back I think. I presume by the caption that the character is Tom Davis, the eponymous main character's father in law. It looks like him at least.

    I didn't really read the comic as it bored me but I recognize it form seeing it in news papers when I was little. It was pretty ubiquitous.

    It's about this wildlife ranger, and it has a strange habit of habit cutting to shots of landscapes and animals while people are talking, I guess to break up the monotony of the shot, but because of the way it does so it often humorously makes it look like a pair of fish or something are discussion the politics of wild life preserves.

    I think Seanbaby made a thing a while back making fun of its habit of misplacing text bubbles in weird ways.

    Sorry if my explaining this ruined the joke for anybody.
