"The KIDS Act is being used as a smokescreen for everything Big Tech lobbyist want, which is a national surveillance program where they can harvest the personal and private data of every American, with zero actual protections."
One game that needs to come off the OG Xbox and onto more modern systems is Jet Set Radio Future.
So we just live in a Black Mirror episode now huh
"(C) SEXUALLY ORIENTED MATERIAL.- The term 'sexually oriented material' means material that β "(i) includes any depiction, description, or simulation of sexually explicit conduct (as defined in subparagraphs (A) and (B) of section 2256(2) of title 18, United States Code); or "(ii) involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism."
Congressional Republicans have introduced a bill that strips federal funding from any school that allows any book or resources that so much as references trans existence.
They're doing it by redefining anything trans as "sexually oriented material."

Advice to any sex workers who don't want grok to doxx you:
Create a fake twitter account and start posting photos of that claim your birth name is something it's not. Grok will assume the information is factual, so if your real name is actually leaked in the future, the waters will be muddied.
Persona is the same verification service that X requires you to use to report impersonation accounts. Sex workers are some of the biggest targets for impersonation and scam accounts. So we have to hand our biometric and legal data over to Musk and Thiel in order to protect our IP. This so so unsafe.
Oops. Turns out Persona, Discordβs age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel.
βThe state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.β
It was alway going to come to this.
The Heritage Foundation has released an update to Project 2025. An 86-page "Saving the Family" which mentions porn 109 times, and blames it for undermining the family and, by extension, birth rates and the health of nation.
Trump wanna commemorate the NYPD in this totally random not on purpose patch of grass on Christopher Street. What's the big deal?
A new Arizona bill gives cops the power to arrest parents who let their children watch a drag show.
A violation of HB2589 could result in a felony charge with up to three years in prison.
Hey everyone!
Huge news! Our trans girl scout list has sold a total of 146,000 boxes as of today!
But MANY trans girl scouts only have 20, 30, 40 boxes sold.
I just resorted our list to put those on the top.
Go get your girl scout cookies and make a trans kid's day!
Gangs of New York, Asbury (1927) fascinating history book written in what we call history
Texans: TODAY (2/2/26) is the last day to register to vote for the March primaries.

No more asking, "What is a woman?" until we've answered, "What is a catch in the NFL?"
My senior year Ethics class final we watched the movie and then immediately took a philosophical exam close reading the movie. Ugh rips so hard.
How do I set up my account to auto-resky you???
βWhat if a state decided that Covid misinformation was straining state health resources and taxed newsletters who promoted it? What if the they required a costly license to podcast? What if a state decided to tax a certain newspaper it didn't like? Porn isnβt some magical category of speech."
That Grok still has payment processing, when everyone I know β artist or gamer or adult creator βlives in constant fear of deplatforming and debanking over the mere hint of impropriety, is utterly mind-blowing.
my sporty friend is stuck at a bachelorette
Bob Weir officiated my dad's second wedding backstage before a Dead and Friends show at CitiField.
They got divorced a year later, but it was still pretty cool. Now he can jam with Jerry again. #RIPBobWeir ππ©ππ€οΏΌ
He was right.
This *is* me. The only meaningful difference between Renee and me is she was there and Iβm here.
Congratulations Dan!!!
1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?
Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.
Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!
Sex workers have been ringing the alarm on internet privacy, government surveillance and banking censorship for so long my ears hurt.
Why isn't being an incel illegal but being a sex worker is?
My only beef is I think the zone should start a couple blocks lower. Or carve out a QBB onboarding. Queens gets screwed out of a free bridge β meanwhile Brooklyn can still use the BKB for free.
If I go downtown onto the 59th St Bridge to *not* go into the congestion zone, I shouldn't get charged.
2025 was the year millions of Americans awoke to the danger of state surveillance, violent policing, rights erasure, online censorship, ideological funding cancellations and retaliatory doxxing.
None of this was new to sex workers.
If there's not rights for everyone, there's rights for no one.
@dansavage.bsky.social okay this is actually fucking nuts
