this is not hyperbole and is exactly what happened. it should be no surprise that those same democrats are incapable of meeting this moment
Damn, who could have guessed a bunch of Democrats teaming up with a fascist political party to censor the violence in Gaza by forcing a popular social media platform to sell to a coalition of fascist billionaires would also end up also censoring fascist violence here. Do you think anyone told them?
This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.
Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.
Well, here’s a link:

The live service gacha game format often creates the circumstances for high quality serialized storytelling, but can only keep existing via predatory game design that also cultivates an audience majority that's uninterested in reading
it's fascinating how many gacha games have writers who are well read on literature, philosophy, history, science etc and want to use this in their work while the audience is actively hostile to anything that isn't babybrained key jingling enough. and yet the writers persist

One of the most beautiful documents ever created: the leaflet that everyone received when Britain's NHS was launched (1948)
"Everyone—rich or poor, man, woman or child—can use it... There are no charges, except for a few special items...it will relieve your money worries in time of illness”

The problem is that the child porn website is owned by the richest man in the world, who no one wants to pick a fight with, and even less so now that he's aligned with the president of the U.S., himself a maniacal sex criminal. Nothing gets fixed without breaking the political power of big money
I am once again reminding you all that the UK government introduced an Online Safety Act that is effectively a porn ban on most adult porn websites, but is dithering over banning a website that is actually creating child porn.

A proposed new Ukip logo likened to the black military cross associated with the German empire and later the Nazis is being considered by electoral authorities.
A previous application by Ukip, which was once led by Nigel Farage, was rejected last November after the Electoral Commission deemed it as offensive. Continue reading...

Everyone has a list of so-called "red flags" when they're dating. And for some, especially younger Americans, different political views is a relationship deal breaker.
