Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

A Disney Springs restaurant was robbed by a scuba man 🤿 • He swam up to the restaurant after it closed • Spray painted the security cameras • Stole up to $20K while staff were counting cash for deposit • Dove back into the water and escaped before police arrived (via WFTV 9)

We have been screaming about this for the past three years — sex workers, privacy advocates, tech journalists, sex educators, LGBTQ+ activists — only to be told that fighting AV was politically unpopular and we were being hysterical. That this would never affect LGBTQ+ people. Welp.

We got here because the "War on Porn" was largely undefended, except by those in the trenches already. Across the country, states have been able to pass dozens of dubious age-verification mandates, the precursor to initiatives like this. This won't pass, but it moves the window.

The bill demands a massive censorship apparatus managed by the Attorney General, along with a tip line where people can identify trans, drag, GNC or "other pornographic content" for prosecution. www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/20...

News orgs HAVE to stop calling these porn bans. Yes, #HB4938, does also criminalize porn — also terrible — it goes far beyond that. LGBTQ+ sites, social media sites, community forums, Shakespeare, drag, a review of Mrs. Doubtfire, all punishable by jail $500K fine and twenty years in jail.

Michigan lawmakers have introduced a bill prohibiting the any "depiction or description" of trans people or trans existence online, including it in a bill banning "pornographic" material The bill would completely erase trans people online, equating them with porn.

Kash Patel’s FBI puts two pounds of methamphetamine in the incinerator at an animal shelter, sending 14 people to the hospital, and exposing some 75 cats and dogs to the narcotic. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Conservatives heard something about a bulge and immediately went “that must be about trans women’s penises” because that’s all they think about.

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

I have a lot, but think about this one often

RIP Charlie Kirk, you would have loved politicizing the shooting of Charlie Kirk.

just trying to understand charlie kirk saying gun violence is worth it: neutral me making a joke about that: bad you telling me to kill myself: good?

When a right-wing man murdered Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, progressives asked MAGA to tone down the rhetoric to prevent more violence. Within hours of Kirk’s murder, motive still unknown, the right is demanding that the government wage a campaign of violence against their enemies.

Liberal politicians if you are so disturbed just pretend Charlie Kirk was a Palestinian child and you’ll get over it in no time

When my political platform is entrenched in political violence but then it happens to me: noooooo not like that!

You still do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to the NRA.

Oh my god, Trump actually got the NRA to come out to defend trans people owning a gun.

LIFE

Guy who discerned that decay is a form of re-absorption, a re-entry of the ingredients of the body into reincarnation, touching his beloved- You used to be a fern, here, behind your ears. Half of your knuckles, you were a cat. The bridge of your nose, a tiger, your cupids bow, a hummingbird

i love the king of the hill episode where hank gets bullied by a child who calls him "dusty old bones full of green dust" because it's SO specific and so believable to weird shit kids say that i refuse to believe it's anything other than a biographical detail from a KOTH writer's life

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”
