After seeing this post I stumbled across bodycam footage of the escaped attacker on youtube as she was apprehended (2 days ago) if anyone is interested:

I think the argument will eventually end up in the uncanny valley, like obviously it’s legal to draw a shitty little cartoon of someone engaged in sex but as it becomes closer to photorealism it becomes illegal? Is photoshopping someone’s head onto a porn star illegal? I mainly dont like laws like this because it bring politicians that are ignorant about AI into legislating it on the basis of it being about scandalous sex related stuff, generally to sell more surveillance.

What they’re arguing for is exploiting and consuming the children of the permanent underclass they’re creating, not their own children, silly.

FWIW its not obvious who the other collaborators on this vote were except schumer but they definitely exist

It’s more than just the 8 who voted with the republicans. None of the 8 are up for reelection so the larger group who supported ending the shutdown (including schumer) colluded to have these 8 be sacrificial lambs.
