As long as authoritarian governments work to censor & surveil us for ultimate control, VPNs remain vital tools. That’s why we’re fighting to defend them.

VICTORY!!! Last night, the Cambridge City Council voted 8-1 to pass a policy order that deprioritizes the arrest and prosecution of persons for consensual adult sex work. We are one step closer to statewide decriminalization. When we fight, we WIN.

Another classic, not sure if I've already posted this one here.

The image is a six panel black and white comic.

Panel 1 - a girl sits at her desk in front of a computer, looking disheartened. She says, "I dont know if I should post this art, who would even want to see it?"

Panel 2- A new person bursts through the door in the background with a loud BAM

Panel 3- The new person pushes the girl out of the way, smushing her face in the process, while slamming their fist down on the keyboard.

Panel 4- The computer shows that the art has been posted

Panel 5- The person makes direct eye contact with the girl while pushing their finger against their own phone screen

Panel 6- A motion blur is added to the last panel, enhancing the impact of the new notifications on the new post. It reads, "(Friend) Liked Post just now" Followed by "(Friend) commented 'I FUCKING LOVE THIS AND I LOVE U'"

Underneath the last panel is a watermark that reads, Shubbabang

I remember my father telling me how anti trust laws worked as a kid. Something like "Well son, we have laws where one electric company can't just buy all the OTHER electric companies. Then they could just charge whatever they want because there'd be no competition." We were a very optimistic people.

The Los Angeles Police Department's officer union said Tuesday it will oppose Measure FD, the half-cent sales tax measure on the Nov. 3 ballot pushed by the city firefighters' union - setting up a bitter and expensive clash between two of the city's most powerful unions.
The Police Protective League said it plans to spend several million dollars on broadcast and digital advertising as well as mailers to oppose Measure FD, which if approved by voters would direct hundreds of millions of dollars annually to the Fire Department to build new stations, hire firefighters and upgrade

Guess which part I will not be going back at this point to redo.

A section of k2, p2 ribbing, laying flat on circular needles. The part in question is a section that should be a rib of knit stitches standing up from the surface, but clearly has two rows of purls at the very bottom.

And Santorum got the deepest cheers of the day when he said, “Barack Obama wants every kid to go to college. What a snob.” It was the slur and the visceral anger. And also the resentment at the left for saying, we will try to nurture and uplift your child even if you reject them or they reject you.

But also, given any wide range of possible meanings that rises from his usual narcissistic blather, I don’t think it’s reasonable to assume that the intended meaning of one of history’s most malevolent people is likely to be, in any given instance, a benign one.

I’ve been wrong before, and might be wrong now, but I sort of feel like it isn’t necessary or helpful to parse trump’s most deranged utterances and give the the most charitable possible interpretation. There isn’t a clear meaning, there’s almost never a clear meeting, and that’s often on purpose.

Fun fact: Tesla went with a giant touchscreen instead of knobs for the Model 3 purely to save time and money. Knobs would have required spinning up a whole supply chain. The company spun it as a luxury feature and much of the industry followed suit. But it was always an inferior substitute.

That Kristol is making this point shows a sensitivity to how the right perceives rape—not as a crime but as a bonding exercise. Who do they worry about? Not the survivors, their own kids, or their spouse, but a son who might be accused. I'd agree that's mostly about declaring loyalty to misogyny.
