Ironic, as this was the magazine that referred to Pokémon as a "pestilential Ponzi scheme" in 1999, characterising its creator Satoshi Tajiri as a literal monster "His eyes are bloodshot; dark circles ripple beneath them... His monsters are a child's predelictions." He never gave another interview.

also frankly you're a scumbag if you're willing to throw sex workers and shit under the rug. porn isn't icky ucky awful and a sacrifice you all can be willing to make. you aren't more holy and pure and good catholic little cherubs for saying 'whatever its just for nsfw!'
that's a problem, too.

I could remove every speck of risque imagery/topics from my community and there's still a 50% chance we'd get flagged just because we're openly queer.
It's not actually about the kids.

In 1967, the NRA supported the Mulford Act, a California bill restricting open carry. On its face, this might seem anomalous given the NRA’s current rabid support for gun rights. However, the specific goal was to disarm the Black Panther Party. /1

Here’s a fun trick when you read through Republican anti-porn screeds: every time they say “porn”, substitute in your mind instead the words, say, “freedom”, or in this case, “education”. And then you’ll see what they are REALLY upset about
It was alway going to come to this.
The Heritage Foundation has released an update to Project 2025. An 86-page "Saving the Family" which mentions porn 109 times, and blames it for undermining the family and, by extension, birth rates and the health of nation.

They want a monopoly on narrative and a chilling effect on dissent.
And to do that, they are slowly working toward an agenda that states that privacy is terrorism.

The US cutting off oil to Cuba is truly one of the most depraved acts it is possible to imagine. Hospitals will close, food production will collapse, people will starve. It is urgent for US citizens, and every sane person, to oppose this barbarism with all their might.

I arrived too late to an abduction yesterday. Ice vehicles boxed in a food delivery driver on the highway. They took him, and when I came on the scene (with a few other neighbors in cars), his keys were still in it. We found his phone, a debit card, his car title and registration.
