The Anti-Porn Crusade That Censored Steam and Itch.io Started 30 Years Ago Keywords and tags have never been a useful metric for distilling nuance. Pushing for regulations based on them is repeating a 30-year history of porn panic online.

when it comes to porn panics, we're repeating the mistakes of the past every damn day www.404media.co/steam-itchio...

A Cuban woman’s volleyball team was denied entry to the US when they tried to participate in a tournament in Puerto Rico.

A Venezuelan little league baseball team was denied entry to play in the Senior League Baseball World Series

This is why we must push the Olympics to move the games.

Without even on the Electoral Registration or a party name, this is the unintended consequences of "If you dont like the changes, you can leave"

This will go even higher once McSweeney's genius of rolling out votes from 16 and 17 year-olds

As a great philosopher once said "Fuck around. Find out."

Will Cooper take action to stop the police imposing their own rules or has she given her assent to this repression

Pam Bondi says that the missing minute from the Epstein tape is normal because they change the tape every night at 11:58 since 1999 and every night has a missing minute.

So everyone knows there’s no recording at 11:58 for one minute every night? Not sure that helps quell concerns.

Cynthia Olivera is a Canadian who’s been living in the US since she was 10

She’s in ICE custody, after being grabbed at her green card interview.

The 45 year old wife & mother has been moved between facilities while her husband begs ICE to let her get on a plane to Canada. 🧡

They’re willing to pay. She’s willing to leave. But she can’t escape. 

This is why we call them concentration camps. 

There’s no due process. Some people go in and never come out.

Reports that a Canadian citizen who has resided in the US since age 10 was abducted at a green card interview.

Her husband is begging ICE to let him fly her back to Canada and they refuse to release her.

This has been one of the most controversial videos I have ever made. It has elicited hundreds of abusive and sometimes threatening messages.
It is 7 seconds long.
I don't ask people to do anything, and I am not rude.
I simply, unapologetically, state that I exist.
This is why we still need pride.

"I’m sorry if I’m not adequately sympathetic to Lisa Murkowski’s plight, but she understands the consequences of her actions. She says the vote was difficult– she voted for it! That’s not difficult. You don’t get credit for doing the hard thing when you don’t actually DO the hard thing."

I just learned that Karoline Leavitt is in her 20s and Seven Miller is in his 30s. White supremacists really do be the least supreme of the whites. Could they not at least find one representative who can make it to 40 without looking like someone stuck googly eyes on a ballsack.

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

Why? β€œBecause it got two tickets already”
