That tiny sliver of glass in your foot is going NOWHERE…no digging will remove it..why?
At one time it was part of something bigger…with shape and substance…maybe rare…it broke off and waited for someone to step in it…
Now its “sole” purpose is to bring pain and with every step you take… it burrows deeper…infecting its surroundings.
Let me essssplain…no let me sum up:

You’re going to need an exorcist.

I have a teeny, tiny piece of glass stuck in my foot and I can’t see it and I’ve dug a crater looking for it.
Duct tape hasn’t worked.
Super glue hasn’t worked.
Bandaids won’t stick.
My Saturday is gone.
I guess I’ll just shit post, instead. 😩

If the Democrats can’t stop this, no reason to have a Democratic Party
Since the government doesn’t track the number of citizens detained by immigration agents, we did — and counted more than 500 Americans who have been held against their will.
Now, 40 lawmakers are demanding answers from DHS head Markwayne Mullin.

It's good news for LA that the incumbent mayor lost. But the replacement is its ownc kind of bad news. LA is too great a city to have such terrible leadership (for years, maybe decades at this point). reason.com/2026/11/05/dem…

Porn is the front line for censorship, followed by horror.
With horror's mainstream appeal having gone up, of course these authoritarian fucks are jumping onto banning "types" of porn.
They whittle away a small bit at a time, because y'all are too ashamed to fight back for porn.

The new rules will dilute what it means to be a sex offender. Such an important label loses value when it can be applied both to predatory paedophiles and those harbouring a stepmum fantasy economist.com/leaders/2026/1…

This quote has not left me. This was an interview I had with Sarah Porter of the Kyl Center for Water Policy a couple months ago. Data center closed-loop systems use less wate, yes, but require more power. And water is required for coal and gas power generation.

The mass purge of legal content following the UK's new pornography restrictions is a textbook example of how ill-defined speech laws erode our digital rights.
Facing severe criminal liabilities under these broad and ambiguous guidelines, platforms have deployed blunt auto-moderation filters, resulting in hundreds of thousands of legal consensual videos being taken down.
Beyond destroying independent livelihoods, this over-censorship creates a chilling effect that deters ordinary citizens from exercising free speech, while forcing algorithmic filters to misinterpret and erase queer relationship terminology, kink archetypes, and trans identity spaces as "prohibited."
