Disney was already on thin ice but if they can’t stand up for a rich cis white man then what chance do the rest of us have in garnering their support?

Saw an electric scooter carrying this guy as he inhales a vape. Used to be teenage delinquents would do their own scooting and smoking. Now they roll around town as passive participants having machines do everything for them instead. NOBODY WANTS TO WORK ANY MORE

Fucking WILD for churches to be packed this weekend like it's Christmas 'cause they thought it'd be a Charlie Kirk funeral service. American Christians stay completely disconnected from the Christianity part of their Christianity.

Good morning. I went to church today for the first time in a couple of months. I was sad that the name of Charlie Kirk was not mentioned a single time. Other tragedies were mentioned. But at this particular Catholic church, nothing about Charlie.

What were they afraid of?

My church didn't mention Charlie Kirk or even "pray for our country". They did ask me for more money. I'm devastated.

Church was packed this morning. The pastor delivered a canned sermon that could have been written last year. My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.

A well-researched article on advances in technology for verifying users’ ages – particularly through age estimation – while minimizing risks to their privacy. Canada is lagging far behind other countries, even though protecting our children from the flood of online harms is an urgent matter.

Yeah it’s because they don’t want trans people to exist. If laws and guidelines become contradictory to a class of people it’s because they want that entire class to be wiped off the face of the earth, to die at their hands, to never even exist in the first place.

nothing from the prior version is incorrect, but ive made it a little easier to read, plus included a bit more helpful information

MAKE YOUR CALLS!!!

WHY?
On July 2025, Steam, a popular storefront to purchase games on PC, and itch.io, a storefront that sells
games, comics, tools, resources and much more, have recently delisted several NSFW games, after the
group Collective Shout published an open letter to payment processors such as Visa, MasterCard, PayPal,
and more. As a result of this letter, payment processors have strongarmed Valve and itch.io into enforcing
restrictive new TOS policies on what kind of content their platforms can host and sell.

Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and Paypal have been censoring free speech and legal business on the internet for TOO LONG. Their most recent targets are Steam and Itch.io, but they have also been pressuring websites like Pixiv, Patreon, Fansly, Onlyfans and MORE for years, applying draconian standards for what kind of adult/pornographic content platiorms and their users can host and sell.

If we as consumers and creators want to regain ground on this issue, we have to make our voice heard.

HOW?
BOMBARD THEM WITH PHONE CALLS
Collective Shout, the organization that lobbied to have Steam and Itch.io change their TOS, did so with only around 1000 phone calls. Visa and MC have backed down from pressuring Onlyians to remove adult content entirely due to public backlash. Clogging their phone lines for an extended perlou, over a mont at the absolute least, will almost gudrantee that these compantes will at least have to pay attention to the backlash. this list is not exhaustive. but some contact points for the 4 targets are:

1. VISA:
(US + Can): +1 [8001-847-2911
US option selection for operator: 1-1-2 or 1-1-3

2. MASTERCARD:

US option selection for operator: 1-1-2-2-2-1

3. STRIPE:

4. PAYPAL:
