Elon Musk Leads Campaign To Force Netflix To Remove Shows With Trans Characters Musk's posts have been seen by tens of millions of users, and many conservatives are now attempting to force Netflix into a removal of LGBTQ+ content.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

The reason we have rules of engagement isn’t to keep warfighters from killing our enemies.

It’s to keep them from killing a farmer with a shovel bc they thought it was a rifle and didn’t bother to wait to check.

Or a family in a car bc the driver looked nervous.

Or a boat full of fishermen.

Honestly people who believed the initial @wsj.com lies about the bullets just failed a basic media literacy test.
The WSJ is just printing white wing press releases and if you don’t know that by now I don’t know what to tell you.

Oh. Turns out I was born in the sign of ‽. That explains a little.

Guess it’s time to say goodbye to iOS as a secure OS. This and the mighty asskissing of Tim Cook.

Subject: Securing the Southern Border: SkillBridge Following Presidential Proclamation 10886, “Declaring a National Emergency at the Southern Border of the United States,” January 20, 2025, the Department of Defense has taken measures to enhance border security and ensure total operational control of the southern border. As part of this initiative, the DoD expanded the SkillBridge program to allow transitioning service members to gain real-world experience by supporting border operations during their final 180 days of service. Agreements have been established with the Department of Homeland Security to facilitate placements within Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The SAF/MR memo Securing the Southern Border: SkillBridge (8 Aug 25) provides further guidance: SecDef requested Military Departments approve service members requests for SkillBridge participation with CBP and ICE to maximum extent possible in the last 180 days of service. Requests should be disapproved only where approval would impact the critical readiness and operational needs of the Military Service concerned. The Military Departments shall provide implementation guidance to all approving authorities ensuring utmost support for service members pursuing DHS SkillBridge participation. SkillBridge opportunities with CBP and ICE can be found at https://skillbridge.osd.mil/. More information and resources are located on myFSS at Securing the Southern Border: SkillBridge.

NEW — US Air Force members got an email Wednesday giving them the option of “supporting border operations” with ICE/CBP for their last 180 days of service as part of the SkillBridge program which helps retiring/contract ending service members get “real-world experience.”

What if the constitution just meant whatever the racist pedo scum in power said it meant?

Quote from a story on changes at the U of Chicago that notes they are "pausing" doctoral eduction in Classics, Comp Lit, Germanic studies, Middle Eastern Studies, Romance languages and literatures, and South Asian Studies.

Wow. The University of Chicago, a world-class institution whose humanities faculty in the past has included Homi Bhabha & Lauren Berlant & Ralph Ellison & Hannah freaking Arendt, is getting rid of basically every graduate department involving the acknowledgment that other cultures & languages exist.

Just imagine what we’re dealing with now but with only a few hundred people on a station far from anything else. If we can’t get along here, we won’t somewhere else.

The moment he named his platform “Truth Social” we were headed this way.

“Starbuck and his wife, Landon, produced a documentary together perpetuating the same conspiracy theory spouted by disgraced commentator Alex Jones that toxic chemicals are causing children to identify as LGBTQ+. He falsely asserted that exposure to the pesticide atrazine turned amphibians ‘gay’…”

You Went to a Drag Show—Now the State of Florida Wants Your Name If you thought going to a Pride event or drag show was just another night out, think again. If you were in Florida, it might land your name in a government database.That’s what’s happening in Vero

Going to a drag show should not mean you forfeit your anonymity. It should not open you up to surveillance. And it absolutely should not land your name in a government database. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Nancy Pelosi is a fucking bitch.

Valve just updated their Steam rules to ban content that “may violate rules set by payment processors or banks.” Sounds boring. It’s not. It’s the quiet normalization of financial censorship and it’s going to hurt LGBTQ+ games and devs

I’m not seeing anything funny about sending up a trial balloon on stripping citizenship from Americans on a whim. This is horrifying that it’s even out there a an idea.

We’ve entered the Animal Farm stage of fascism.

Dang it! Missing two atoms and we could all be made up of HoHoHo. And we could really use some of that now.

P.S. - Don’t science pun shame me. 🧐

An f-bomb appears to be more newsworthy than the real bombs killing people.
