If you're a woman or have a partner who intends to have a child, do not move to the U.S. South. It is not a safe place to be pregnant.

I don't understand why we were supposed to be worried about the grid yesterday but today, which has the exact same weather, is a no-worry day.

Because the grid didn't go down yesterday, so it's not as much of a question mark

You can vape indoors in private without making everything smell like poo poo. Pretty much everywhere has banned cigs indoors, and you're often bothering people if you do it outside in public.

And maybe it's healthier?

You can but the sort of people who vape make sure they get the kind that smells like chemical sugar nightmare, especially teens.

I don't think I've ever been near vapers and smelled anything. Didn't know it was even possible.

Are there that many chuds in the Senate? I feel like the GOP kept losing Senate races whenever they nominated a total psycho.

lol, they did this in Louisiana, and PornHub just rolled over and said, "Oh yeah, we'll put up a sign-in that requires you to register with the state government as a porn watcher."

Cojawfee posted:

Is it one of those "you have to upload an ID to go to a porn site" laws? And I'm guessing Texas has not given them access to any way to automate verifying IDs.


There is a third-party company that gets paid to create and manage the database for the state. As always, this is just a way to funnel money to someone who's giving kickbacks to your local politicians.

Hardly any of the porn streaming sites played ball when Louisiana did this, just the big ones. I think pornhub, xhamster, RedTube, and maybe a couple of others. It is a trivial roadblock.

Also if the Texas Dems had half a brain they could make hay out of this, but alas

DeRay McKesson was leading a protest, and he led them up on a bridge. Someone threw a rock and hit a cop, the cop sued DeRay as the protest organizer, a lower court threw it out and the 5th held 2-1 that the suit can proceed. That's what happened.

It's definitely not "abolishing the right to mass protest" but this does seem very bad

I think it was a tweet saying that the students who were part of the protest were banned from campus. Meaning that they wouldn't be allowed to take their finals, and then wouldn't be able to go to graduation if they were graduating. The school then backtracked and decided that the students can go to campus to go to class and can ask permission to use campus services or something.

The first time they try to deny someone permission, they'll have to back down on that too
