Guys, it got so much freaking worse. KOSA is bad, but SCREEN is even worse, somehow.

"Sen. Mike Lee has introduced the SCREEN ACT, a bill that applies the "harmful to minors" standard used to ban LGBTQ+ books and resources in schools and libraries and apply it nationally to the internet.

Any site that has any amount of material "harmful to minors" would be forced to employ surveillance tech (biometric scans, ID uploads, background checks) to prevent minors from accessing "pornography."

You will not be surprised to learn that this is backed by the Heritage Foundation.

Unlike some of the state age-verification laws, many of which are being challenged in court, SC will be enforced by the FTC, which has the ability to levy fines, raid business and freeze bank accounts. Yes, meaning that even non-for-profits like Ao3 will suffer.

This is something for all US users to keep on their radar. Call your reps, call your senators, and spread the word to protect our archive!"

- When talking with Republicans play up the fact that this would force Elon to implement age verification systems on X (yes do call it X during the call). Elon's been threatening to primary Republicans who stand in his way so there's fear of him. Also play up concerns about "Liberals" doxxing people or Chinese hackers.

- When talking with Democrats, play up the connections to Project 2025 and suggest voters will not be happy to see Democrats siding with it.

me normally: i'm not personally a huge fan of modern art

me around right wingers: I love modern art sooooo much and I think there should be litter boxes in schools also

I know that the running joke is that we should abolish all men's podcasts but in the mean time I've been keeping a list of YT channels/podcasts by/aimed atBlack men* across a range of age groups that are varying levels of progressive, left or left-leaning, and as a baseline supportive of Black women and other marginalized communities.

Disclaimer: My priority when compiling this list was to find content I could recommend to my little brother that was not in the manosphere, and (where possible) actively critical of the manosphere and it's members. I'm not claiming that these men have perfect politics or that I agree with every single take they have.

Andrewism (Leftist philosophy and theory)

Colormind (Essays about a variety of topics including mental health, media and music)

F D Signifier (Former teacher, cultural commentary/political video essays, essays specifically criticizing the manosphere)

Foreign Man in a Foreign Land (Cultural Commentary through a Carribean lens) Garrison Hayes (Black history, politics and current events)

Poddy Mouth (Discusses general News and pop culture with a specific focus on rap and hip-hop)

The JAAM podcast (Pop culture and political podcast, hosted by a group of four friends from Chicago)

Thinkpiece Tribe *not sure of gender identity - uses he/they/she pronouns* (Video Essays/Short films and Media Analysis - made one of the best One Piece political video essays I've seen)

Waving the Red Flag (Elevated barbershop talk podcast hosted by three friends in Atlanta)

I think that searching for positive influence is a good idea! It takes away the excuse that "oh there's only-" nooo, you just didn't look!

we need to invent a way to explain how deep running and pervasive and subliminal racism and antiblackness is without immediately sounding like an insane conspiracy theorist

I'm generally of the opinion that trying to resurrect prematurely cancelled shows is like necromancy—odds are they'll come back wrong.

Except for Galavant. Any Galavant revivial will be funnier the longer it stayed cancelled.

hey guys just here to say that the new online safety act in the uk has blocked the suicide hotline

this is extremely problematic for very obvious reasons and i have no idea what the fuck this country is fucking coming to

childline has also been restricted

if you're a uk citizen and still haven't signed the petition please do so

even if you're not a uk citizen please reblog to spread the word !!!!!

this isn't safety, it's censorship

there are two competing sects on this website - one that uses the word "spicy" to mean "neurodivergent" and one that uses the word "spicy" to mean "sexual content." i do not like either of them

Usually south park's relevancy feels very fake and surface level to me, but it's really something how trump and his base are actually, visibly much more enraged by this than they've been about any other criticism, any other show, any other enemy I've seen in the entire near-decade of his political career. Fucking South Park got to them more than the combined effort of a million other comedians, journalists, parodies, academic criticisms or protest efforts. Like it's BAD. Like they want the creators in prison and want to consider this a hate crime.
