“Americans are uniquely bad and were never cool” is, ironically, just about the most provincially American opinion it is possible to have

Why don’t any of you people have Dutch crunch for your god damned sandwiches?
While Buffalo wings are now a ubiquitous app all over the country, not every regional food goes national. What cuisine from YOUR region do you most want to share with the country/world?

Having muscled age-verification through last session, AZ Republicans are pushing forward even greater restrictions on sex, including banning porn entirely (HB 2900), threatening adult producers with warrantless AG inspections (HB 2133) and HB 2720, which would make purchasing sex a felony.

Rick Scott looks like an undead that winds up in the money-grab “Monster Manual Part 4” after they have exhausted every good idea and it’s like “this is a kind of undead created when a Nazis is betrayed by a catamite.” He’s basically a less inspiring Modron

hm yes the state needs to protect the dumbs from themselves possibly by using violence on them
I think that a lot of the socially libertarian consensus of the 2010s was driven by people who had high executive function and were able to manage moderation and whose social circle was similar.
In the future we're gonna look back at online gambling and prediction markets in the same way we look now at cigarettes on airplanes and lead-based paint

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

Spotify's got some brass to be sassing literally anyone else about fucking artists out of money
I dunno, man, if you sue someone for an amount that would make you the third largest country by annual GDP (www.worldometers.info/gdp/gdp-by-c...), you might start to give people the impression you're a bit of a racket and not really serious about the court system

You’re not going to understand everything your dick does. The scripture says its ways are not your ways. This is what faith is all about, trusting when it doesn’t make sense, trusting when your dick takes you out of a blessed place and you come into a storm that looks like it’s going to defeat you.

Age verification is deanonymization,
Deanonymization is censorship.
The Supreme Court is now taking away your right to anonymously *read* a form of speech. If speaking can mean that your readers have to subject themselves to potential consequences to read it, how can there be freedom of speech?

NEW: In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court held that age verification for explicit sites is constitutional. The majority said it protects minors without violating free speech; dissenters warned it burdens adults’ rights and ignores First Amendment precedent.

Most billionaire wealth is not in cash. To tax those assets down to a few millions, how much will those stock, property, etc., assets crater in price, wiping them out (unredistributively) altogether?
