Anti-hate poster has no home in Ohio classroom, says school district The poster, which included a rainbow flag, counts as 'instruction that includes sexuality content' according to the board.

An Ohio school district made a teacher take down a "Hate Has No Home Here" poster because they said it violated a state law against teaching about sexual orientation or gender identity without parental permission reason.com/2026/04/15/a...

Everything comes back to cranes these days. We measure size in "is it bigger than a crane or not?" An apple is not bigger than a crane. A dinosaur is. Trees? Sometimes. It's a very intricate system.

"Is it yucky?"

"Yeah."

"Mmm. (Long pause) Probably a crane built it."

Minneapolis might bring back bathhouses as spaces for sex and queer community Minneapolis might bring back bathhouses where people can have sex. It's provoking a wider conversation around stigma, criminalization, and community.

We've had universal birthright citizenship for 127 years. If that's a "suicide pact," it's a hell of a slow suicide.

Exposed but also covered? I don’t even understand what this means

everything here is right; the framing of this as some kind of scandal not only raises privacy concerns but it diminishes the impact of exposing the many, many real-ass scandals involving this administration

"There is plenty of legitimate fodder for criticism in Kristi Noem's record. No one needs to go digging into her husband's sex life for fuel... The Noems have enough to answer for. Let's not let a pair of balloon tits distract us from that."

I am saying that sort of tongue in cheek, but also not.

There are many good reasons to criticize Kristi Noem. Her husband's sexual interests are not among them. The Daily Mail exposed Bryon Noem’s private sexual interests, but turning them into a scandal raises serious privacy concerns.

OK, I’m sorry, but you know I had to write a “don’t kink shame Bryon Noem” post reason.com/2026/04/01/t...

Accused of human trafficking for THIS?! YouTube video by ReasonTV

Everyone’s got a human trafficking vigilante complex these days (even Canadians!) youtube.com/shorts/3qyTr...

Trump plans to attend oral arguments in Supreme Court birthright citizenship case Both the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court Historical Society have said there is no official record of any sitting president attending oral arguments.

Two thoughts about this:
• This almost certainly does not win him points with any justice, and, if anything, will be seen as a negative.
• Because that is so clear, I almost think this is a move because the Trump admin knows this is a legal loser, so they best they can do is some politics.

This may be one of those cases where the right legal result protects unsavory people. In the long run, and especially in the current political environment, I can see this actually being a useful bulwark against efforts to restrict gender-affirming care.

And social shunning or exclusion should not rise to the level of "harm" that's legally actionable under forced labor statutes

OneTaste founder Nicole Daedone gets 9-year prison sentence The government's case against two orgasmic meditation executives has been an affront to feminism, free speech, and freedom of conscience.

An outrageous miscarriage of justice, and a very dangerous precedent

Advocating ideas or practices that people willingly sign on to should not count as human trafficking, even if those people later regret their participation reason.com/2026/03/30/o...

To suggest Facebook isn't safe because they, let's say, amplify disordered eating content requires a subjecting judgment call about whether eating disorder content is safe or unsafe.

And when the government declares certain kinds of content and publishing methods safe/unsafe, that's censorship.

Lolllll. I love this industry.

People always assume content moderation is easy. Remove the bad stuff. Keep the good stuff. The reality is that it's all a series of tradeoffs where every decision has problems, and the decisions *you* think are obvious, often turn out to have really negative consequences.

Apple Requires Device-Level Age Verification in the UK Now. Could the US Be Next? Users under 18 will have to deal with restrictions and anti-nudity text monitoring.

“For those underage or who have not confirmed their age, Apple will turn on Web Content Filter and Communication Safety, which will not only restrict access to certain apps or websites, but will also monitor messages, shared photo albums, AirDrop, and FaceTime calls for nudity.”
