Wyoming lawmakers' proposal to ban 'explicit' books from libraries falters as clock runs out The Legislature was advancing a bill that backers saw as a common sense way to keep "sexually explicit" books out of kids hands. Critics saw it as a book ban, and Teton County librarians have lined up...

Let's head into the weekend with some good news out of Wyoming! Legislatures around the country are learning that book bans are losing policy

OpenAI is delaying its "adult mode" for ChatGPT ChatGPT pushes back the launch of its long-awaited "adult mode," and reactions are mixed.

OpenAI says its postponing it's roll out of AI erotica (and other adult experiences) claiming they need to focus on work that is "a higher priority for more users."

Like, I suppose, bombs and war.

Consensual sexual pleasure is a radical, political act under fascism.

does he even know what he's saying

Trump is the first POTUS in history to bomb school girls to distract from the fact that he raped school girls. I know because I’ve met his victims. His sexual predation & creepiness was a well known fact among the coward class. Not just billionaires but most MSM that looked away.

Damn

If the Iran war leads to more terrorism targeting the US and Israel, it will be used as an argument to justify further war. As opposed to proof that these wars lead to worse outcomes.

This is the mad logic of militaristic cultures, in which failure leads to even more of the same.

The new gender clinics they spun up after Tavistock are functionally useless. They're glorified conversion therapy centers because they offer no pathway towards medical transition. Once trans people stop going and the patient numbers decrease, they'll declare "mission accomplished."

The reviews used to justify this excluded nearly 97% of all studies from inclusion in their analysis. This is an absolutely obscene hatchet job by the NHS specifically created to eliminate access to hormones for trans youth.

America's fascist right has pulled a 180 and is selling the idea that expensive gasoline is a good thing. Americans have failed a lot of intelligence tests in the last decade. This is another one.

As I've mentioned before: if Hasbro releases a Harry Potter MTG:A set you take a break from MtG:A until it's no longer the new set. Get none of the cards. Not even with the free in-game currency. Make it actively lose them daily log-ins.

kinda weak reporting by Wired in terms of bsky "positioning itself as a progressive twitter replacement" since the staff on here have been incredibly clear that that's not what they wanted to do and never wanted to do

if life ruination is never okay why does she continue to be a vtuber

The moms risking arrest to protect gender-affirming care for trans youth The government wants to ban the care nationwide. Hospitals are shutting down treatment. Parents just want it all to stop.

“I got out of jail last Tuesday to a message from my pediatrician, saying ‘call me.’ Then, as I’m looking at other messages, I find out that NYU had closed down their youth gender clinic."

Yeah before I switched to binders I was using minimizer sports bras and the difference is kinda negligible

So I’m clear

3 countries, all whose government’s are propped up by religious fervor & impotent rage, are converging on each other with Putin stirring

But the End Times are coming because I’m sharing a bathroom with someone whose mom accidentally named her Steve at birth.

Have I got that right?

I mean the Web3 crypto stuff also went nowhere even though it sounded great to VCs

If you have a sewing machine and the knowledge of how to put together a sports bra you can easily draft your own

you're going to need power mesh for the interior and then a spandexy (but ideally still kinda breathable) fabric for the exterior

I am begging certain companies to start marketing their wares as compression tops/sports bras/shapewear to avoid this freakazoid

it's not even about kids, Paxton is trying to restrict what undergarments adults can buy

The jump in gas and heating oil prices is just the start, wait until the "transportation surcharges" start to hit on just about everything.

Thing about so called cozy games is that almost all of them are management sims so just up the difficulty a bit and they easily become the most stressful games ever created.

The US is at war and repression at home is going to get worse.

I'm old enough to remember during the Iraq war the FBI infiltrating quaker meetings and vegan potlucks and cracking down on anti-war groups and outspoken Muslim leaders.

The US surveillance state has grown exponentially since then.

It's 2004. The US is mired in a pointless war in the Middle East. There's a new Nintendo handheld. Taking Back Sunday is headlining the Warped Tour.

I just can’t understand the amount of free time these people have, to be spending it working to restrict what kind of UNDERWEAR people and esp young people are wearing.

1. What creeps
2. Get a real job

These bigots are obviously engaged in an incredibly sinister plot to exterminate trans people. It shouldn't be surprising that they are so weird (derogatory) about genitals. Imagine doing work to get this TRO.

Ken Paxton should already be ashamed. And then there's this.

The party of small govenment and personal freedom is dictating what underwear kids can buy.

calling then a "child-mutilator" has to be some kind of defamation

Politicians obsessed with the genitalia of children is problematic. Sometimes wonder if those who want to check on them with respect to bathrooms, school sports, underwear sales, healthcare, etc. are just the other side of the Epstein coin.
