What have sex workers and free speech advocates been saying about age check laws and policies re: adult material and how they will lead to anti-queer discrimination? 🤔

Instagram blocked teens from searching LGBTQ-related content for months

Posts with LGBTQ+ hashtags were hidden under Meta's “sensitive content” policy which restricts "sexually suggestive content"

Yes, all of them. Frustrating.

And of course, I was an OLTL fan.

That stupid lawsuit messed up the crossovers from OLTL.

Remember that Austin Gatlin was really Todd Manning from OLTL, but there was a lawsuit. 😂

Zohran Mamdani needs to study Bill DeBlasio’s administration to understand the way the cops and Wall Street will work to compromise and sabotage him as mayor, and not let cops near his family.

The belief that rich people create jobs and pay their taxes is good propaganda, but people get rich by destroying space and jobs to extract more rent for less investment.

Remember remember the 5th of November
The gunpowder treason and plot
I see no reason the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot

I'm sure right wing Zionist publications like Jerusalem Post will have nuanced, measured responses to Mamdani’s victory...

Oh. Oh no.

The new antisemitism often speaks Hebrew
Traditional antisemitism attacked Jews from the outside. The new antisemitism often speaks Hebrew. It presents itself as moral, progressive, and enlightened, but it erodes the legitimacy of Jewish self-defense and dissolves the sense of shared destiny.

NYC's education system couldn't look worse unless Zohran keeps funding the cops at the kids' expense.

What Might New York City’s Education System Look Like Under Zohran Mamdani?

The city’s $40 billion K-12 public education system has been under mayoral control since 2002. Mamdani wants to end that.

That's why it smells like an outhouse when billionaires or politicians talk! Damn!

This sort of security leak is bizarre though.

When I was a kid hanging out with Mormon Boy Scouts at summer camp, a contract would have been taken out on anyone who talked about the secret underwear.

Working to live sounds fair enough, until you realize that Americans don't work to live.

We are forced to live to work.

If hot sauce is on it, but not mustard and onions.

Though they probably wouldn't even eat 🐈with hot sauce.

And it might be dangerous to experiment.

Real men eat onions and mustard and have the foul breath to prove it.

I suspect these ICE agents of being fragile conservative men from Texas. #Deadpan

What I'm learning from this is that real men are too fragile to handle the overwhelming presence of ...

*checks notes

... onions and mustard.

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.

The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.

"I could smell the onions and mustard."

Lots of people can say they hate KFC, but only fans of the Hanjin Tigers can say Colonel Sanders hates them!

Chris Richards @eclecticradical.bsky.social · 1d

The Hanshin Tigers were cursed by the evil spirit of Colonel Sanders in 1985, who many fans believe has haunted them since.

Chris Richards @eclecticradical.bsky.social · 1d

The Hanjin Tigers lost the Japan Series to the SoftBank Hawks?

So you're saying the Curse of the Colonel has gone live again?

Why do I think Andrew Cuomo did that advertisement with the white Ford Bronco?

I can't ever know what someone else is thinking, but I know that #AbusiveAndy Cuomo is trying to do to Zohran what was done to India Walton... in Buffalo.

Where OJ actually played.

Chris Richards @eclecticradical.bsky.social · 1d

Meanwhile, in New York City former anti-Trump hero Andrew Cuomo is desperately seeking the help of Donald Trump and every other Republican he can find to defeat the Democratic Party's nominee for Mayor.

It's their job to deliver the money, even if they do nothing else.
