100% there will be a war fought over which Jesus LLM gets to decide who gets to play on a Little League soccer team or what kind of muffins get sold at a PTA fundraiser or something. It will last 30+ years, kill thousands of people, and gestate a new strain of flu.

FCC'S MEDIA BUREAU SEEKS COMMENT ON FURTHER EMPOWERING PARENTS TO PROTECT THEIR CHILDREN AND MAKE INFORMED CHOICES
ABOUT THE TV PROGRAMS THEIR CHILDREN WATCH
MB Docket No. 19-41
Comments Due: May 22, 2026
Reply Comments Due: June 22, 2026
Over the years, Congress and the FCC have acted to empower parents to determine the type of
television programming that is appropriate for their children. Indeed, in 1996, Congress found that television programming has a "uniquely pervasive presence in the lives of American children" and
"influences children's perceptions of the values and behavior that are common and acceptable in society."' Congress then determined that parents should be provided with timely information about the nature of upcoming video programming and have the ability to block violent, sexual, or other programming that parents believe is harmful to their children.
In passing this legislation, Congress provided the relevant television and video programming industries with an option. They could establish their own voluntary system for rating video programming or the Commission could establish a ratings system itself. Industry representatives chose to set up their own voluntary system, and the Commission in 1998 found that industry's approach met the relevant statutory criteria.? As a result, industry established the TV Oversight Management Board (TVOMB),4

The FCC is looking to take control of the voluntary TV ratings system to banish transgender and non-binary subject matter, hijack the TV Parental Guidelines Monitoring Board, and go on a censorship spree in the name of “protecting children.” docs.fcc.gov/public/attac...

this of course is just a slightly updated vision of eugenics

if you are "sick" — which, again for RFK is a function of race, class and perceived purity — then there is nothing you can do in the face of disease and death, you are destined to succumb. the upshot either way is we do not need vaccines or most modern medical interventions.

if you are "healthy" — which appears to be a function of race, class and the purity of your body, as defined by what you eat and drink — then you cannot be truly sick and you do not need modern medicine.

the way this makes sense for RFK is that "healthy people" and "sick people" are ontological categories.

If you would like to listen to a leftist, pro-union, pro-working class space cowboy audio drama podcast (yes, there is more than one!) you could do worse than to start on Breathing Space. I got through the first two seasons and then forgot about it and was pleased to discover they've continued on.

I do find it funny how many people basically mean “woman in position of power” when they complain about HR.

There’s a leftist movement catching fire around the world as people realize they’re getting screwed by the rich who keep getting richer.

NDP Leader @avilewis.ca is hoping to harness that flame — but can he convince Canadians they won’t be burned?

Here’s a sneak peek of our conversation:
