PLEASE join in and sign this. Banks have been overreaching for decades and it needs to stop. Sex work is going to happen either way, it should at least be safer and easier to transact.
Porn and other adult projects also need to be protected from censorial puritanical bullshit that banks and payment processors should have NO right to do.

So Chomsky might have died?

Information unclear atm

I think this rhetoric is common because it genuinely is powerful, and while it may not always be applicable in a straightforward way, there is some truth to the idea that the way nature does things is often more efficient, or has some less-than-obvious motivation.

The issue, to me, is that conservatives are on the wrong side of this argument. Same sex intercourse is incredibly common throughout the animal kingdom. Animals are occasionally observed engaging in clearly gendered behavior that *does not* match their sex. Phenotypical differences between human racial groups are statistically less significant than between individuals within the same race, on average.

Why should we let them have this argument? If it is a dog whistle, it's a shitty one, because it actually exposes a weak point in their logic.

Forwarding because it's a good comment

As of 3:48 PM EDT, Noam Chomsky is still alive. The rumors of his passing are false. His wife, Valeria, has confirmed this information to me. #NoamChomsky

The Senate voted nearly unanimously Tuesday evening to pass major legislation designed to reverse the American nuclear industry’s decades-long decline and launch a reactor-building spree to meet surging demand for green electricity at home and to catch up with booming rivals overseas.

The bill slashes the fees the Nuclear Regulatory Commission charges developers, speeds up the process for licensing new reactors and hiring key staff, and directs the agency to work with foreign regulators to open doors for U.S. exports.
