CW: OpenSim seems to be afraid of Mississippi and UK age verification laws, but it's completely unafraid of the DMCA; CW: long (over 1,800 characters), UK politics (UKpol), US politics (USpol), Mississippi politics (MSpol)
Looks like OpenSim users are getting increasingly anxious that e.g. Mississippi and UK law enforcement will shut down every last OpenSim grid on the grounds of their age verification laws, what with none of them having verified the real-life age of all their users. Even if a grid runs in Kazakhstan under a Russian domain with a Kazakh and Russian admin team.
"This will so totally happen!"
The self-same people, however, appear not to be afraid at all that Linden Lab and Second Life content creators will shut down any OpenSim grid on the grounds of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, what with almost all of them blistering with stolen Second Life content. Not even if a grid runs in the USA under a US domain with an all-American admin team.
"This will so totally never happen!"
Pray tell, why should the former wipe OpenSim out in no time while the latter hasn't even happened to one measly OpenSim grid in over ten years of copybotting tons of expensive premium luxury content in Second Life and offering it in OpenSim as full-perm freebies? Not even after these announcements by Linden Lab themselves from early this year?
Oh, and OpenSim cannot survive without selling the most private personal data of every last one of its users to some big, commercial, corporate age-verification service? But at the same time, OpenSim cannot survive either without breaking international copyright and intellectual property laws left and right?
Oh, and by the way: The most that Mississippi and the UK can do against a grid is try to fine it. The most that Linden Lab can do against a grid is Cease & Desist it out of existence.

CW: USpol; NYT endorsement of Harris; swearing
It's really wild, not to mention extremely fucked-up, that today the New York Times, of all places, looks like "the brave one" among national newspapers, just for endorsing Harris and Walz.
What that says about our country, and our media, and this time in history, is fucking disgusting.

CW: USpol; Trump is really, obviously demented at this point
Barack Obama said, "You would be worried if your grandpa started acting like this," and that was *before* Trump spent 12 minutes at a rally in Latrobe, PA rambling about late golfer Arnold Palmer... including the size of his penis. 😮

CW: USpol; Texas county reclassifies history book as "fiction" so it can ban it
As the article says, "If government officials can arbitrarily dismiss a well-researched, factual account of history as fiction because it challenges a dominant narrative, then what other truths will they try to silence?"
This is part of the authoritarian, fascist philosophy: "truth is whatever we say it is."

CW: USpol; federal judge tells DeSantis Administration: "it's the First Amendment, stupid"
In a ruling blocking the DeSantis Administration's brazen, unconstitutional attempts to censor ads promoting a pro-abortion ballot initiative, Judge Mark Walker actually wrote the words above. In a court ruling. Which tells you how are things have gone.

CW: USpol; Fox's Baier admits "mistake" of playing misleadingly edited clip during Harris interview
Harris was talking about the dangers of Trump's plans to use the military against his political opponents, and Baier countered with a clip that omitted Trump's comments about “the enemy from within.”
Not a good look, for either Trump or Baier. But nice that he owned up to it... later.

CW: USpol: treatment of Harris and trump by the media shows the ugly double standard at work
This piece lays it out pretty bluntly. Trump fails softball situations and is still considered a viable candidate, while Harris aces the tough ones — like the recent hostility at Fox News — and yet is held to a higher standard anyway.
Why could that be? 🤔 #racism #sexism #misogynoir

CW: USpol; Kari Lake's attempt to find dirt on her rival Ruben Gallego just failed spectacularly
She thought his sealed divorce filing was "hiding _something_ BAD". But upon being unsealed, it turns out to be, as one county judge said, "one of the most garden-variety divorce cases I have ever seen."
Here's hoping a Gallego win can help solidify the Senate for Democrats!

CW: USpol; Vance stops waffling and dodging, claims Trump did not lose 2020 election
After weeks of dodging and equivocating, JD Vance has finally taken a stance: he says that no, Donald trump did not lose the 2020 election... "not by the words that [he] would use." He says that's because of "serious problems in 2020", despite the Trump campaign being unable to bring any credible evidence of said "problems" to any court.

CW: USpol; Trump goes completely off the rails at town hall
And the mainstream media, such as NBC and the WaPo, are *still* sanewashing this as much as they can, calling it "an unusual format" and "a somewhat bizarre move".
No. It was a public display of dementia. The man has gone completely senile. Seriously, read about it: https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/lets-just-listen-music-trumps-townhall-event-gets-weird-rcna175449

CW: USpol; Flynn vows "the gates of hell... will be unleashed" if Trump wins
If that sounds bad on its own, consider that it's in response to a question posed at a Christian nationalist rally about *executing* Trump's political enemies.
They are making it incredibly, blindingly clear that if elected, they will rule as bloody, murderous despots.

CW: USpol; House Speaker Mike Johnson claims "we had a peaceful transfer of power" on January 6th
Does he think we've forgotten the Capitol Insurrection? The coup attempt? (It was *not* "a riot"; it was far too purposeful, pre-planned, and focused for that.)
This is an Orwellian attempt to rewrite history, and Johnson should be ashamed of himself — and be voted out of office.

CW: USpol; Trump suggests sending military after US citizens on Election Day
Since he obviously does not have the power to do this on this upcoming election day, it can be taken as a plan for how he'd handle things in 2028.
Alternatively, he probably wouldn't wait that long.
He keeps saying the quiet part out loud. It's very clear how he intends to rule: complete #fascism.

CW: USpol; Why did Trump back out of his _60 Minutes_ interview?
One major possibility: because his cognitive decline is so bad, his team doesn't want him on the air for that long.
Fact-checking, of course, is a major bugaboo for such an inveterate liar.

CW: USpol; NYT (finally!) notices Trump is in cognitive decline
Or maybe it's more like, his decline is now so blazingly obvious that even the New York Times can't deny it.
Anyway, it's now impossible to deny that Trump's age and mental state are now *mainstream* issue.

CW: USpol; Republican Senators Cruz and Scott are vulnerable
Senate Democrats pretty much *need* to topple one or the other of these red-state stronghold senators to keep their majority — but they may well have a chance to do so!
(TBH, I can't see how Floridians can possibly keep voting for the pro-climate change party after Helene, and Milton's going to hit sometime this week...)

CW: USpol; right-wingers are attempting to bully and scare the rest of us into silence and inaction
An Ohio sheriff tried to make a list of people who had Harris/Walz signs in their yard. Florida voters who signed a pro-abortion petition were visited by cops.
They want us afraid.
Speak up. Speak out. Stand strong. And VOTE. THEM. OUT.

CW: USpol; Trump's "scattered", incoherent WI appearance and abrupt "60 Minutes" cancellation raise questions about his health
At a Tuesday press conference, he confused North Korea's Kim Jong Un with the leader of Iran, and the WaPo described him as "especially scattered and hard to follow".
Of course, he could just be afraid to face Lesley Stahl in an interview, like he's afraid to debate Kamala Harris again.

CW: USpol; Harris campaign striking back at Trump's border/migrant narrative
Gotta love the headline on this one: "Kamala Harris Shoves the Migrant Border Crisis in Trump’s Face"
But her overall point is sound: Trump scuttled legislation that would've improved the situation last year, because he didn't want anything good to happen while Biden was in office

CW: USpol; swing-state polls show Harris' lead increasing
Her leads are still within the poll's margin of error, but they're also noticeably larger than last month.
Her current leads are:
Nevada: 7 points
Pennsylvania: 5
Arizona: 3
Michigan: 3
Wisconsin: 3
North Carolina: 2
Georgia: 0 (tied with trump)(Although... does this mean the poll has a *seven-point* margin of error? I find that confusing.)

CW: USpol; Trump wants to jail people who criticize judges
Trump, who's criticized judges so routinely that he kept violating gag orders, now suddenly claims people who criticize SCOTUS "should be put in jail". Because what's the First Amendment, anyway?

CW: USpol; Trump apparently thinks Johnny Carson is still alive, wants him to replace Jimmy Kimmel
Another entry in the "Trump is in serious cognitive decline" department, as it seems he's mentally regressed to a world where Johnny Carson is still alive. (He died in 2005.)
Seriously, this guy cannot run the country. He's going senile.

CW: USpol; Trump already blaming Jewish voters, and he hasn't even lost yet
A couple of takeaways here:
* He thinks Jews owe him loyalty of some sort for some reason. (WTF?)
* He's worried that he's going to lose. (And as always, he's looking to pin the blame on someone else when things go badly for him.)Anyway, he's antisemitic AF, and flailing.

I've been reading election coverage, and I hadn't heard about Trump's claim, at a Moms for Liberty event, that "your kid goes to school and comes home a few days later with an operation". (For context, he'd just mentioned "the transgender thing".)
That thing about "sanewashing"? It's 100% true. The double standard is stark.

CW: USpol; Trump's photo-op at Arlington National Cemetery included a violent "incident"
For those who've been wondering, as Esquire put it in a 🔥 headline, "How The Hell Was Trump Allowed To Use Arlington National Cemetery As A Campaign Prop?", we now have the answer:
At least one Trump campaign staffer *physically attacked* cemetery staff who tried to stop them. 😮
There's no limit to how low he'll sink.
