It's not your imagination. Everything on the internet is getting worse, and it doesn't have to be this way

Your regular reminder that "legality" is a status defined entirely by the State.

When lawmakers and advocacy groups frame queer existence itself as a threat to young people, age-verification laws become ideological enforcement instead of regulatory policy. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

The assumption that women are property underlies all sexual laws so completely they can't even get it out of their language ("selling her body"), much less their legal assumptions (casting sex workers as passive, doll-like entities to be done TO rather than doing things).

For people who are concerned about having their devices seized at US airports starting Monday when ICE "assists" the TSA, EFF has this guide: www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Trump is a degenerate gambler who won’t leave the casino without getting a high payout to justify all of the money he’s already spent

Good for Cuba. The gall of the Embassy.

This is correct. The Idaho bathroom ban could technically result in a life sentence for trans people with prior felony convictions.

New in PN: Trump wants to bribe energy companies to kill wind energy "Trump’s irrational loathing for wind turbines is so all-encompassing that he hopes to buy TotalEnergy off with taxpayer dollars & ensure that, even if a Democrat succeeds him, wind energy projects will have to start from scratch"

If we don't unite for the midterms we will be physically united in the Trump regime's prisons. All progressive people, of any sort, from far left to pro-democracy moderates, must unite. At this time in history it's basically suicide--a good chance to die in "detention"--to refuse to vote as a bloc.

Trump does not think strategically, historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. Allied leaders know that if they help him in the Gulf, he won't be grateful, or even remember www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

"'The street finds its own uses for things' is a statement about technopolitics.... The fact that a technology was born in sin does not preclude it from being put to virtuous ends. A technology's politics are up for grabs." Another banger by Cory Doctorow:

Simple information about what the SAVE Act would actually do to American voters. Tens of millions would lose their right to vote unless they spend lots of $$$ and jump through bureaucratic hoops before November.

one promise the cyberpunk future failed to deliver on is me being a courier for 512MB of highly sensitive corporate data contained in my brain zip drive while i wear a nice suit instead of being a courier for burritos in a 2012 hyundai

In this golden age of surveillance, making E2EE chat normal and expected has been privacy's biggest win. I hate to see it getting rolled back. thehackernews.com/2026/03/meta...

Under Trump's CFPB, two of the three major credit bureaus have sharply reduced the share of complaints they resolved in customers’ favor. In 2024, Experian’s relief rate was 20%. Last year, that figure fell to less than 1%: https://propub.li/3OY2qBw

Strong reminder: women have not been independent for as long as some folks would like you to believe. We’ve lost rights that we never should have lost.

Once more for this because I wish I'd mentioned my newest novels, Gunmetal Mountain (won the Spur Award), Blood in Sweet River, The Silver Revolver.

if you can't handle me at my "my sisters and i have a right to be upset at our systematic extermination," then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my "secretly jack off to my media tab while your spouse is in the other room"

That's Noem, Lewandowski, and Bovino out. Wannabe fascists, perhaps, but you are not living in a fascist country. Public pressure, embarassment, legislative opposition - all of them helped to turf these folks. That's what I mean by "the levers of democracy still work and you should use them."

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

History will remember Will Stancil as a giant who recognised the moment America was living through, and rose up to challenge it, and history will not remember a single LARPing American Communist at all. They won't even be a footnote in the story. bsky.app/profile/whst...

Hell Yes

Kansas is criminalizing the existence of trans people I need journalists to care about this Kansas is forcing trans people out of public life I need journalists to care about this Kansas is making it impossible for trans people to exist in the most fundamental ways I need journalists to care

A planned change to Amazon means that if people buy items on your wishlist, it could expose your address. Definitely a threat to people who have public wishlists. www.404media.co/amazon-wishl...

"Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a nearly blind refugee from Burma who Border Patrol agents dropped off at a doughnut shop Thursday and left to find his way home, 5 miles away, has been found dead." To read the words is to damn all involved, from Trump on down.

I think about this Hunter Thompson quote a lot these days, "The world is not mad, as I thought, but sane in the cheapest kind of way." from a letter to Daryl Murphy, 1962

Lashes drag show at The Unicorn never disappoints @londynbradshaw.bsky.social

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

I think the gutting of USAID is probably the worst American-caused tragedy since the invasion of Iraq. Obviously the death toll will be much higher. I just can’t get over it. They were celebrating the gutting of one of the most efficient life-saving organizations like they had won the Super Bowl.

At least one Meta employee thinks it's a good time to add facial recognition technology to glasses because we're too distracted by fascism to effectively protest www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

ive seen a sentiment quite a few times recently that we're in a cyberpunk dystopia without any of the cool shit. well, the thing about that is the "punk" part. the cool shit is up to you. learn to solder. raid a data center and take their ram. if you wanna be a hacker just be a hacker

Cory Doctorow, The Epstein Class and Collapse Porn

This is great. Turns out Shakespeare wrote some material in collaboration with another playwright for "Thomas Moore" and here's a speech Billy S wrote, performed by Ian "Gandalf" Mckellen, who's in fact a great Shakespearean actor - and it's Shakespeare taking down anti-immigrant lunacy. Brilliant!

I'd like to add that like in all industries, when we stop understanding how our tools work, we become entirely dependent on the corporate entities that own the mold. We are trading the ability to build and repair for the convenience of being permanent tenants in someone else's infrastructure/subs.

I wanna personally congratulate Hunter Biden for not only being nowhere near the Epstein files but for having rock-solid reviews from sex workers for respectfulness and tipping
