Every Democrat in Congress should put out a video saying troops have an obligation to refuse unlawful orders. Make them prosecute all of you. This isn't a close call.
I'd add Republicans too if I thought any of them had the courage to actually cross Trump on this.

Can't tell if I am disappointed or relieved that it's got the boring and naff name "Stardust Solutions" and is not called Fënryys or Ragnar°k or some shit

Hilariously (in the lolsob sort of way), Australia has concluded their social media ban law cannot actually be used to ban underage Australians from Roblox because it's not a social media site
Me: Australia's social media ban for under 16s is a deeply terrible idea and is going to make a lot of problems much worse
Also me: we should ban Roblox for all ages

Oh, God, this is one of those "where do I even start" things, because Roblox is, like, *fractally* fucked. They are terrible at content moderation. A lot of the games are rated incorrectly, so kids can encounter graphic content (sex or violence) out of nowhere --
