This is the end result of any age verification law that is passed and you have to show it to everyone around you so that they understand the risk of these laws.

Jentry Chau was really good! If Netflix doesn’t give it another season (probably won’t, they’re Netflix) I think it still works great with just the one season, though there’s a couple big things that never got followed up on. Also the opening was a banger!

RFK Jr admitted there’s no proof Tylenol causes autism.

He said “we’re making the proof”.

This is the man directing public health policy for the country.

If you have to “make the proof” you haven’t solved the problem.

He’s a eugenicist grifter.

The background shows tombstones, bare trees, and a foggy sky. Text in the lower right corner reads “CW KXVO 15 KXVO.COM.”

In Trump's America, you're a hell of a lot more likely to lose your healthcare due to Trump's tax giveaways to billionaires, than because an emergency room doctor patched up an undocumented immigrant.

There’s no evidence to suggest Tylenol causes autism.

There’s no evidence to suggest early circumcision causes autism.

There’s no evidence to suggest we’re in an “autism epidemic”.

There is evidence to suggest that RFK Jr is a eugenicist who’s a menace to society and public health.

Oh no the boycott orchestrated by Epstein's buddy didn't work

1. Anti-trans outrage is losing its bite.

Last week, Elon Musk led a mass boycott campaign to get trans characters removed from shows on the platform.

Major conservatives joined in.

Now, we have the result: the boycott was a fizzle, and Netflix stock is up.

Netflix Stock Up As Elon Musk's Anti-Trans Boycott Fails To Materialize

Last week, conservatives tried to cancel Netflix to force the carrier to remove transgender characters.

"The views expressed by users @kaioken8026, @mrright8439, and @ZxZNebula ... do not alter the Court’s analysis."

The Court holds, based upon a full consideration of the context in which “Not Like Us” was published, that a reasonable listener could not have concluded that “Not Like Us” was conveying objective facts about Drake. The views expressed by users @kaioken8026, @mrright8439, and @ZxZNebula, and the other YouTube and Instagram commentators quoted in the Complaint, Am. Compl., ¶¶ 73-74, do not alter the Court’s analysis. In a world in which billions of people are active online, support for almost any proposition, no matter how farfetched, fantastical or unreasonable, can be found with little effort in any number of comment sections, chat rooms, and servers. “[T]hat some readers may infer a defamatory meaning from a statement does not necessarily render the inference reasonable under the circumstances.” Jacobus, 51 N.Y.S.3d at 336.

The "somebody showed me a TikTok" era of American government is going pretty much exactly how you'd expect.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 17h

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

It's incredibly frustrating to see multiple prominent filmmakers and industry veterans caving in and saying that we all just have to accept AI as the future of the artistic process now.

I'll stick to making things with my rotting hands and brain!

When people say they don't understand white privilege. This is the ultimate example of white privilege. A 34-time convicted felon can become POTUS and then go after the Black Attorney General who prosecuted him for another case. No Black person, not even President Obama, has that privilege or power.

New York Attorney General Letitia James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social · 12h

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..
