I live in Ohio... I guess this will be my last post here for the forseeable future because I refuse to give some random company that I don't know shit about my ID just to prove my age! VPN usage will rise starting tomorrow!
In Ohio, starting on Monday 9/29, we'll be implementing an age assurance solution similar to what we're doing in South Dakota and Wyoming. Read more here: bsky.social/about/blog/0...
Our Approach to Age Assurance - Bluesky
We’re committed to keeping our community informed as we navigate new regional regulations.

Republicans keep proving that free speech isn’t free for everyone. That’s why I introduced the Free Speech Act of 2025 — to stop the FCC from being used as a political weapon and to protect the First Amendment.

Republicans scream “free speech”… until the truth hurts their fragile politics. Jimmy Kimmel gets suspended, but hate, lies, and conspiracy theories run free. Once again, they prove selective outrage is their brand.

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

The truth hurts: Kash Patel is the least qualified FBI Director in history. On his watch, white supremacists run free, qualified staff are pushed out, and he refuses to even name right-wing extremism as the top threat. I have ZERO confidence in him to keep Americans safe.

Just so I'm clear:
TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal
TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft.
TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism.
Free speech, everyone.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

I had no idea who he even was until yesterday. I don't fit into his demographic.
This is a friend of mine and the median normie voter and exactly why it's so weird people are flying flags at half mast and op-eds are being written.

There is one less evil person in this world. People like him shouldn't have had a platform to spread such hate on the world. May he never rest in peace.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.
The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

For the first time in 111 years, a President is planning to fire a sitting Fed governor—and of course, it’s the first Black woman, Lisa Cook.
Trump’s message is clear: when Black women rise, he’ll do anything to push us down.
Newsflash: we’re not going anywhere.

Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."

I'ma need for this Mercury Retrograde to hurry up and end because I had to order a new debit card because I thought someone charged my card for an Amazon Prime Video I didn't buy. Turns out Amazon thought it was a good idea to start a subscription to Starz without my knowledge!

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven

I went to the House Floor to stop the cuts to SNAP and Medicaid.
Republicans blocked it—wouldn’t even consider it.
So let’s be clear: they know exactly what this bill will do. And they do. not. care.

Of all days to have a power outage would be on one of the hottest days so far this year. Ugh! Sitting in my car until the power comes back on.

This administration is so out of control, they’re using federal agents to rough up public servants like it’s a damn police state.
But sure, tell us more about “law and order.” (2/2)
