We all knew it was never about the porn. But if your normie bros wanna keep torrenting their marble and star worms they're gonna have to actually take the gooners seriously for once.

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

Anyway, friendly reminder that you can still contact your reps on the Chat Control bill that's to be discussed in 9 days.

This is a DELIBERATE attack on privacy and a backdoor to autoritarian regime control, 1984 style.

1-866-952-4456 to tell Netflix that in no way do you want Elon fucking Musk determining what you watch.

I just called, got through in about 15 seconds, and told them that I strongly support queer inclusion in their programming and that I will cancel my subscription if they cave.

Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com · 10d

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

Elon Musk Leads Campaign To Force Netflix To Remove Shows With Trans Characters

Musk's posts have been seen by tens of millions of users, and many conservatives are now attempting to force Netflix into a removal of LGBTQ+ content.

We need painters awards for things like "the sexiest clavicle" or "the most sensual rendered ankles"

We know there are people out there who deserve the recognition

If you are a danish citizen you can also sign this Citizen Suggestion to show that you are against this.

Although the people who made it missed to mention that it's Denmark as a state who is the primary pusher right now.

They are already past the 50K, but the more people who sign this the better.

These scripts are GREAT and these calls are EASY and ESSENTIAL. Call your senators and reps today and tell them to vote against ANY bill that contains cuts to trans health care.

emily moonlight @threnody.bsky.social · 26d

so: what do we need you to do? two things.

1.call your D/I senators. find contact info here: reps.fyi

what do we need you to say? try the call script below. adapt it; make it your own! there are bailout points written in, in case you get nervous. but please *call.* 🧵

Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME] and I'm one of Senator [THEIR NAME]'s constituents. House Republicans are trying to insert a multiple articles of anti-trans legislation, including a full transgender healthcare funding ban, into the F-Y '26 budget. I'm calling to tell the Senator to stand up for trans Americans and vote NO on any bill with that language. This IS worth forcing a shutdown.

[you can stop here at 0:20 if you want to bail out—but it's better if you don't]

This care funding ban follows the map the G-O-P charted while attacking abortion. Democrats lost that fight by giving in to the G-O-P an inch at a time. Giving an inch at a time on trans care will devastate trans Americans and it'll get Democrats nothing in return but contempt.

[you can stop here at 0:40 if you want to bail out—but it's better if you don't]

Right now, the most popular Democrat in the U-S, [Zo-RAHN Mom-DA-nee], is campaigning on making trans healthcare cheaper and easier to access, and he's only got more good will because of it.

[you can stop here at 0:50 if you want to bail out—but it's better if you don't]

I'm asking the Senator to refuse to allow any anti-trans language including a healthcare ban in the F-Y '26 bill. Do not vote for any bill with that language. This IS worth forcing a shutdown. Standing with trans people is the right thing to do and it's politically smart. Voters and donors show up for Democrats who fight.

To give you an idea of how much they "care" about protecting children online.

Out of all states that have approved an age/ID verification bill, none have exemptions for CSA victims to access support groups. MO only forces adult sites to show a helpline number.

(Source: Free Speech Coalition, GPB)

Map of the United States.
Colors for bill consequences:
In red: Risk of chilling effect, children may be blocked off CSA and self harm support groups.
In purple: Has limited mention for support networks, but no exemptions.

Colors for status:
In green: Bill blocked in this session.
In yellow: Pending.
In gray: No active bill in this session.

A very big Onion announcement:

The Onion has spent the last two months working on a masterpiece.

It's a documentary titled Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile.

It's so good, in fact, we were set to release it in theatres nationwide on October 2nd.

Then two weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was shot.

Screenshot of bluesky in the play store at 3.4 stars and 47k reviews.

Bluesky claimed to want to decentralize social media, and then came out with a massive community guidelines update imposing sweeping restrictions to free speech

If I could give negative stars I would, these changes need to be repealed and they need to refocus on user facilitated moderation tools
