Checked wikipedia myself this morning. Looks like they switched it from the state attorney generals deciding what is “harmful content” to the FTC. Previously, an Anti-LGBTQ state attorney general could label any progressive website as bad and ban it for minors. (and because no one know how to age verification, that just means everyone). Now that only happens if Republicans get control of the whitehouse and appoint a activist to head the FTC.
As long as they don’t come for internet access, kids can get around book bans with things like Libby.
What’s that? Republicans are proposing an internet book ban bill call KOSA? Well good thing we have divided goverment. It will never pass.
Wait? Biden is supporting it? Well, that doesn’t mean… wait, Elizabeth Warren is a cosposonser? Wtf?
Influencing Spez’s options on steel tarrifs isn’t worth as much as the founder of Truth Social

With just two shots, Ukraine has cost Russia more money with these two A-50s than Trump was recently fined in his New York case.
Protest toppled a couple of leaders during the Arab spring. Even with Israel, Biden has started sanctioning West bank settlers and sends veiled threats about respecting life. It is not much, but without protests, we wouldn’t even see that.
Next up: Moldova donates it’s entire tank!
Iran. That way, if missiles fly out of Gaza, Israel can just declare war on Iran instead of all this proxy war bs.
So the latest the UK can call an election and get Labor in charge is January 2025, the same month this goes into effect. Wonder if they will rush a repeal or get blamed for it starting?
To the Americans - there is no difference.
No, you misunderstood. I as an American feel odd rooting for the anti-american candidate.
Seems strange rooting for the anti-American candidate. Also: Former populist non-politician leader that was charged with corrupt bushiness dealings, mishandling US intelligence documents, and being ‘non-religious’ in his sexual affairs then kicked off the ballot? I wondering if this portends what will happen if Trump is behind bars in November…
Edit: I was talk about myself rooting for Khan, not the OP.
Hiking interest rates don’t cause inflation, they cause your electoral support to go down. He won a close election, so now he can fix the problem without loosing power.
But sadly it leads to voting for fascist…
So Ukraine got tired of waiting for Russia’s “big missile attack” and moved it’s patriot systems close to the front. Kyiv is unprotected, but with a little trickery (keeping the main radar offline and using a lower power radar closer to the front to prevent the planes from realizing they are entering into it’s coverage) they can lock down Russia’s air force.
I’ve been suppressing this joke for days due to it being in bad taste. I can’t hold it back any longer, down vote away.
Trump: “A school shooting?” Shooting puts on a fedora. “Perry high school shooting!”
Our choices are an insurrectionist who wants to overturn American democracy and turn it into a dictatorship, a genocide supporter who is pretty good otherwise, or a nepotistic vaccine denier, a.k.a supporter of genocide of Americas via COVID. At this point I’d vote for anyone pro-choice, pro-democracy, and anti-genocide - regardless of party. Too bad no one running currently fits those criteria.
Seek out the competitors to near monopolies? I heard somewhere that all glasses are built and sold by one company (that then sells them to a bunch of different companies so it looks like there is competition), and they can charge incredible markups. There probably are very small companies that make and sell glasses that don’t have the economies of scale or ad budgets to get the word out. If enough people bought from them, the monopoly would have to lower prices to their “kill competitors” level to steal back the market-share (or just buyout the little guy). Once dead or absorbed, they can go back to incredible mark-ups, which means we can start the cycle over again and find a new little guy to support.
That or support the maker movements so that anything we need we can just make ourselves (3D printing, bio-hacking, hydroponics and seed banks, general lathe and mill loner libraries, open source software, etc…)
While that might not be economically feasible, I’ve always wondered why plug-in electrics couldn’t send power back into the grid. No solar? Send energy onto the grid during the day from the car and recharge during the off-hours at night. Solar? Recharge during the day and send energy onto the grid at night. Just make sure to set a minimum charge that will get you to a charging station.
