TN is considering a new bill that allows parents to sue large platforms that allow "material harmful to minors"— including sculpture, drawings, photos, music or video games— that describe or depict nudity, sex or "excessive violence"

The censorship that started with "porn" is coming for everything.

It's wild to me how in the Lehigh Valley chicken and waffles has become fried chicken on a waffle. PA Dutch chicken and waffles was the the thing here. You could get it anywhere. It would take a special trip now.

These fucking dolts. “There are plenty of references to those words in books and poems.”

I think they can’t get dumber, and then I click on a new article.

Nine years ago, Witgar began to notice something unusual. Veronika played with tree branches she found on the ground and started using them to scratch herself.
Not occasionally, but systematically and repeatedly.

This is the story of Veronika, a 13-year-old Braunvieh cow living in a rural area of Austria.

Veronika is not a production animal. She lives as a companion animal and spends much of her time interacting with humans.

Cow Tools!

We have lived alongside cows for nearly 10,000 years.
We breed them and exploit them

It is now, only now, that we have discovered THEY CAN USE TOOLS

Here I describe our study

Did you know that SHf takes inspiration not only from Shinto mythology, but Buddhism as well? We look at how this relates to the mystery of Junko's bell as well.

Seems like the whistles do help deter ICE. As someone who is hearing impaired, please, please, please wear ear protection. If you are in Minneapolis, it would be a privilege to send you a box.

Really ugly to see consultants/wannabes trying to raise money off of the violence being inflicted on the Twin Cities.

This is a wonderful resource on where to meaningfully contribute. Hint: it’s not to an extant political party.

I've not created a from scratch meme in ages. Life didn't have it in the cards for me. Also, I think memes are for blue wave and old people. I am old. I'm also a person that believes words have meaning. Words mean things. The butterfly man still speaks across audiences & time.

Remember that in order to dunk on ICE, you have to cede ICE the ability to see your posts.

I think this one would be good for wheatpasting as well. If you want to use it reach out to me please for large images.
This is a parody of an IWW anti-KKK poster made at the hate group's height in the 1920s. Today's occupying Federal forces are an outgrowth of the KKK and other white supremacist groups.

One emulates the antique paper look of the original, the other is black and white to be printed out and posted.

Based on a WW2 anti-Nazi poster where a bayonet stabs a Bible. Our enemy today is within, destroying the U.S. Constitution, which governs this land, and not a king.

US ARMY, *PLEASE* do not order Arirang from Target!!! They are actively colluding with and supporting ICE operations in the Twin Cities as we speak. Please choose literally any other retailer.

The developer attributes the AI used to their school's providing these tools for free.

I get it. It's everywhere in these vendor supplied to uni tools, that's not even accounting for outright AI tools.

I don't blame them.

It's one of many reasons I didn't want to work in the spring.

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:

They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.

The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.
