UK's Starmer seeks greater powers to regulate online access British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will seek broader powers to regulate internet access, which he said on Sunday was needed to protect children from fast-changing digital risks.

The UK already has one of the most restrictive internet policies in the west. Starmer seeking broad, extra-parliamentary powers to crack down on VPNs and other access is a troubling sign.

Censorship is always fuels an appetite for more censorship.

Be assertive and in control. Let them know that you’ll be doing things your way and that they’ll have fun.

Remind clients how much sex you have. It’s probably a lot more than them, and with more partners.β€œIf I use a condom with you, you can be sure I’ll use them with others.”
Keep the tone light, but remain in control and in lead of what’s happening.
β€œRelax, let me take control. I promise you’ll have fun.”
It’s a lot easier to put the condom on when the client is turned on. If they are already aroused they may not want to interrupt what’s happening.
β€œIt’s time for us to have more fun. 
Are you excited?”

Also check out the Livery Companies and Guilds of London.
Up until the 19th Century, they had the right to elect four MPs to represent the City of London and they still approve candidates for the Lord Mayor today:

Venue said that the Merchant Venturers control 12 charities and 40 trust funds, and also a private unlimited company, SMV Investments, that has major investments in defence contracting, tobacco, genetically modified agriculture and the petroleum industry. Merchant Venturers serve on the boards of many local charitable and cultural organisations, and are guaranteed seats on the University of Bristol Court and the Downs Committee. It quotes Paul Burton of the university's School of Policy Studies as saying, "they exert quite a bit of influence and we, the people of Bristol, don't know much about them and can't hold them to account".

In January 2022 Thangam Debbonaire, the MP for Bristol West whose constituency includes the Merchants’ headquarters in Clifton, told the Bristol Post that she believed it was time for the society to disband, calling them an "unaccountable, undemocratic network with no place in a modern, multicultural Bristol".

I come from Bristol (the original one!) where the Merchant Venturers gained a monopoly on sea transport in the 16th century (including the slave trade).
Although they're technically a charitable organisation these days, they still hold a lot of power and influence:

If you want to "Drive home the point" (sorry πŸ˜‰) when using a #giantstraponharness, you can buy one of our fabulous Thrust Harnesses.

This sturdy leather belt has two strong handles which will give you a firm grip on the issue!

Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**

He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

Please, don’t trust ANY anti-sex-trafficking nonprofit that refuses to support the labor rights of consensual adult sex workers.

We know for a fact that criminalization leads to exploitation and trafficking.

I would also be wary of those who fund such organizations.

Utah lawmakers aim their sights at streaming services, porn sites for taxes A bill introduced in the Utah State Legislature would impose a new tax on pornographic websites, while a separate piece of legislation closes a tax loophole on streaming services.

A conservative Utah lawmaker is trying to raise taxes on people who consume porn.

HB73 would force Utahns to pay a special 7% tax β€”Β on top of sales tax β€”Β for every fan site subscription, camming tip, clip download or other purchase of "material harmful to minors."

2nd try, I was 58!

I failed in 1986 (hit the kerb after a perfect reverse around corner ☹️) and never had the need to try again.

I passed my Bike Test in 2007, Advanced Test in 2011, then passed my Car Test after 10 lessons in 2023.

I only did it because I couldn't carry surfboards on my bike πŸ„β€β™‚οΈπŸ€™

Text from Bill 4123 altering the Miller Test as applied to minors to remove "taken as a whole", exceptions for "literary, artistic, political value" and inclusion of "profane language," among other things.

Text from Bill 4123 altering the Miller Test as applied to minors to remove "taken as a whole", exceptions for "literary, artistic, political value" and inclusion of "profane language," among other things.

South Carolina wants to rewrite obscenity law to criminalize "profane" language and gestures.

Bill 4123 would require age-verification to access Netflix, music videos, Judy Blume, Michelangelo's David and anything that might possibly be boner inducing.
