Williams says that the bill wouldn't apply to "appropriate drag," and said that it's written in a way that obscenity could be determined by individual law enforcement.

Conservatives *want* the vagary inherent in the law because it makes them, and their police, the arbiter of morality. They don't like the idea of justice being blind.

"Of course we won't go after Shakespeare!" they say honestly, and they're correct.

They'll decide what drag is "appropriate."

Critics of new bill say Ohio women would be banned from sports bras, bikinis in public 'The peak of fear mongering.'

Media needs to stop with "critics say" and just quote the actual language of the bill.

HB 249 creates a new category of "seminudity" which can be used to arrest women who aren't nude, but are wearing clothing — leggings, t-shirts without bras — that religious groups feel is too provocative.

As Ontario Premier Doug Ford complains that he is the most scrutinized politician ever…may I suggest that there are reasons. It’s not just the private jet….though that probably didn’t help you.

For a country that has exploited immigration as an infinite money and cheap labour glitch like Canada to applaud this garbage is beyond the pale.

The privatization crisis at Canada Post Canada Post is under attack. Political favouritism, privatized delivery, and precarious subcontracting are putting workers and public service at risk. From Intelcom’s exploitative practices to the gov...

The brother of federal Industry Minister, Mélanie Joly, is the president and CEO of Intelcom, a courier company that exploits subcontracted delivery drivers for pennies per package. It stands to benefit mightily from the dismantlement and privatization of public postal services in Canada.

In Israel, raping Palestinians goes unpunished — but you'll go to jail for angering Americans.

White text overlaying an image of a river in Salt Spring, NS: "Green Transition Today! No New LNG Plants in Pictou County"

NS deserves a real say before two proposed gas plants move forward. GPNS recognizes the need for evidence-based, sustainable responses to our electricity needs including strengthening our grid. Locking residents into 30 years of reliance on Fracked Methane without due process is not the answer.

Cops keep showing up to arts events about Palestine. What can organizers do? Toronto police showed up at a comedy fundraiser and at a film screening on the same night in April. Organizers describe how this fits into a broader pattern and what can be done to protect community…

Toronto: What we’re seeing now is that (police) are not even distinguishing between protests, academic events or cultural events. Any time there are Palestinians speaking about Palestine, they are viewed as potentially anti-semitic or promoting violence.” www.thegrindmag.ca/cops-keep-sh...

Joint statement from Premier Eby and the First Nations Leadership council on DRIPA

Eby has backed off changing or suspending the law this spring

Changes may be put forward in the fall session, but Eby told reporters there's no guarantee the two sides will come to an agreement about how to proceed

Immigrants are taking your job they said while handing you your pink slip

Trans people are a threat to your children they said closing the child's bedroom door behind them

The left hates free inquiry they said as they chained the university gates closed

As the great philosopher George Carlin once noted, the government wants a stupid, ignorant, easily manipulated populace.

(Bill Hicks voice) "Looks like we got ourselves a *reader*"

“Cultural genocide” is genocide.

“The Woman Who Knows Too Much”

Amanda Ungaro says Paolo Zampolli abused her, seduced her underage, recruited girls for Epstein, had a hold on Melania (who worked undocumented for years)

He had her deported as they battle for custody. He still works for Trump.

She is willing to testify.

It is important to keep in mind that a lot of the natalist panic in the West is in response to a successful feminist push to reduce the rates of child rape.

(Teenage girls are statistically most often knocked up by adult men. I think the average age is around 23.)

21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures ... have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

⚠️ Palantir released what it describes as a vision for “The Technological Republic” in which it argues AGAINST democratic and cultural pluralism and FOR militaristic supremacy enforced by a technocratic elite who produce AI weaponry.

These points stand out:

Data centers are expensive, unpopular — and could be a tipping point in the midterms Anger over the data center boom has spilled into politics with voters unseating local politicians who support them. It's become an issue hard to ignore in the midterm elections.

Power without accountability: The Palantir manifesto The problems with our tech philosopher kings

New, from me: Take the Palantir manifesto seriously, if not literally.
It reveals that our tech philosopher kings want public money, but without public accountability. This creates a dilemma for governments unaligned with its techno-fascist vision. 🧵

Palantir recently published a 22 point manifesto.

TL;DR DEI is bad, fascism is good.

The average person doesn’t give a fuck if AI has some niche use where it actually excels if used properly. In fact, that is what a tool is *supposed* to do and none of us will have a problem if it is used like that. What we see is AI fucking up real life in a massive way.

I read Romeo and Juliet in the 9th grade and now red state theocratic fascists won't allow it to be taught *in college*.

This piece begins with Amity Shlaes' most common and most deceitful trick -- citing the unemployment numbers in 1938, when the country fell into a recession because FDR had been persuaded to *ease off* the New Deal, as proof that the New Deal didn't work.

Pure hackery.
