• The creator of said Kamala Harris AI parody has sued California over its law banning the creation of Kamala Harris AI parodies, noting that the law not only violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments, but wipes its bum with them and then blows its nose on what remains.  (Politico)
  

  Newsom spokesperson Izzy Gardon said in a statement that Kohls had already labeled the post as a parody on X.

  "Requiring them to use the word "parody" on the actual video avoids further misleading the public as the video is shared across the platform," Gardon said. "It's unclear why this conservative activist is suing California. This new disclosure law for election misinformation isn’t any more onerous than laws already passed in other states, including Alabama."

  At time of writing, there are zero major social networks headquartered in Alabama.

In the vtuber world, Pina Pengin (formerly of Sony's Prism Project, now with the independent Prima Project) returned to streaming today after several weeks absence when she was flooded out of her home twice in a month.

And Amelia Watson of Hololive English announced her not-a-graduation after four years with the company.  Her last stream will be September 30.

But she will still be affiliated with Hololive and both the company's website and the CEO's own tweets hint that we may see her again.
