Everything is bad now because kids get their taste in music from algorithms instead of from trying to impress the older girl you know who looks like the Bombchu Bowling Alley Operator

the bill is 'H.R.8250'

while usually i'd take a "wait and see" approach to a bill that has only been introduced, the us govt is moving FAST wrt age verification, so please, contact your representatives (particularly the house) and advocate against AV on device laws

Former Syracuse basketball player to be deported after more than a month in ICE custody

26 years old from South Sudan. He has been in the US since age 13, when he was recruited to the country for basketball.

Now being discarded as if he was human refuse.

Shame on Syracuse for not intervening.

"mid" being coined as "bad" has lobotomized so many people

You got NYT going to press with “North American Treaty Organization“ in a headline and as the PREMISE for the entire article. WSJ thinking asymmetric warfare is when ground fire hits a plane.

These people.

Don’t know.

About anything.

of all the old twitter meltdowns, this is the one I remember most fondly. just a goofy old TV cop getting too horny for a law enforcement psychic and not understanding what DMs are. tale as old as time.

Rebecca Ferguson (Mission Impossible actress) @rebeccaferguson.com This is actress Rebecca Ferguson, the real one and not a scam. Accept my private message request. why on earth would you message me if you were real I need you to watch my movies. the scam is just messaging individual people to watch rebecca ferguson movies? I have been a fan of yours ever since I read a post about how you sneezed so hard the yellow acorn flew off your penis shaft. In Dune 2 I played the powerful mother of a thin desert boy.

the "just asking questions" to "legitimate questions about fairness in sports" to "the state doesn't have to consider us as real people" pipeline working exactly as designed.

I know this is like, “eww squick” it wouldn’t hurt me, but this basically bans the first episode of Game of Thrones, a significant amount of Greek mythology, and every open fanfiction website on the planet. And I wouldn’t trust an authoritarian govt with “nuance” about what is art and what is porn.

New from me. A years-long battle with Valve's ineffective moderation rumbles on as bigotry and harassment is given persistent passes on Steam. It leads to lengthy, sometimes traumatic, processes to get content that violates Steam's own guidelines removed – if it ever is. In @theguardian.com.

Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**

He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

Elon Musk: Life cannot just be about one sad thing after another. There must also be things that make us super excited and inspired about the future. This is one of things. Bigtime.

"Life cannot just be about one sad thing after another," says the man responsible—directly or indirectly—for like 90% of the sad things that happened in the past year.

🧵3) until tonight no one knew who sent the torture video to Epstein. I went to DOJ, unredacted the email, and reverse searched the email to discover it was a Sultans. Our law requires VICTIM’s information to be redacted, not information of men who sent Epstein torture porn!

Massie is abusing Trump stooge Todd Blanche over this

That tweet still cracks me up 🤣🤣

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

“The only thing more powerful than hate is love.”

MAGA wanted you to boycott this.

Releasing a ton of emails wherein every elite with over 200 million dollars is like “wen do we next meet 4 sex crimes :-)” and then having your DOJ come out and say nothing to see here is an interesting gambit

sorry everyone. all your #PlayHighguard posts have been very funny but no one is beating this. just incredible work. one of the funniest ever

jeffrey epstein's apparent association with the likes of bobby kotick, steve bannon, and peter thiel – and his fascination with game design as a means of controlling others – paint an unsettling picture

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

and now that i can say this with mY full chest, ice and that entire administration.

Absolutely losing my mind over Ava, THE ROCK'S DAUGHTER, quitting WWE despite them offering her a raise to keep working a pretty cushy kayfabe general manager gig and then the day after her contract ends she posts this

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll
