‼️🇺🇸 Utah is about to become the first US state to legally target VPN use as part of online age verification. The law goes into effect Wednesday, May 6, 2026. 🔴 If you are physically located in Utah, you count as a Utah user, regardless of whether you use a VPN, proxy, or any other tool to disguise your location. Websites are now legally responsible for age-verifying you anyway. 🔴 Sites that handle "material harmful to minors" are banned from sharing instructions on how to use a VPN, or from offering any means to bypass geofencing. The EFF calls this a "liability trap." Websites cannot reliably tell where a VPN user actually is, so the safest legal move is either to block every known VPN IP outright, or to force ID-based age verification on every visitor worldwide. Either path subjects millions of users to invasive identity checks, regardless of where they actually live. The Cato Institute put it bluntly. When a policy can be defeated by a privacy tool millions of people legitimately use, the policy is the problem. The collateral damage is, as always, the people who actually need VPNs: 🔴 Journalists protecting sources 🔴 Domestic abuse survivors hiding from stalkers 🔴 Activists in hostile environments 🔴 Remote workers tunneling into corporate networks 🔴 Travelers banking from abroad 🔴 Anyone who simply does not want their ISP, employer, or data brokers reading their traffic This is not staying in Utah. The UK's Children's Commissioner has called VPNs a "loophole that needs closing." France's Minister Delegate for AI and Digital Affairs has named VPNs as "the next topic on my list." The EU is rolling out age verification across all 27 member states by end of 2026, with EVP Henna Virkkunen openly admitting they have no plan for VPN bypass yet. Utah is leading by example. EFF: "Attacks on VPNs are, at their core, attacks on the tools that enable digital privacy."

@SomeBitchIIKnow We had pickleball size hail here a few days ago. Lots of damage.

Don’t take me too seriously. If you like it and you play, my shitpost should not make you feel bad about it. Going outside and doing things is good.

Pickleball is dumb. There I said it.

How about a top ten list of popular bands that are actually not good?

Not good.

@MixyPisa My guy says he updated, ran the detection script and it looks ok. Also now I need authenticator app to get in. 🪠🔫

If you are running a CPanel server, it may already be too late. Signs are that the new breach may have been exploited as early as mid-March.

Here it is: Stephen Miller 🔥🔥 drops the single largest robbery in United States history. @StephenM: “We believe that the Gddmn Ilhan Omar fraud operation in Minnesota is the single greatest theft of taxpayer dollars through welfare fraud in American history.” “We believe that we have only scratched the very top of the surface of how deep this goes.” “The total bill—the total tab for this—is going to be far beyond the numbers you’ve already seen reported.” “We believe the state government is fully complicit, and we believe that what we are going to uncover is going to shock the American people.” 📝RAID THEM ALL: Every single official in the Tampon administration knew about it—including the bribed Keith Ellison and the g’ddamn world war 11 herself.

At 15 years old, Liv Perrotto’s biggest dream was to meet @elonmusk. She had even written out a list of questions to ask him. Her mother @rebeccaperrotto told me that just days before she passed away from cancer, she had a chance to speak with Elon, but she was too tired and asked him to call later. The questions still sit on her nightstand, unanswered. Liv's mother shared them with me in hopes that Elon would change that today. 1) Are you going to make your own phone? 2) Are you expanding the Tesla Diner to new areas? 3) Will there be any new games with any upcoming Tesla updates? 4) What is your favorite anime? 5) Have you ever been to Japan? What was your favorite place/thing there? 6) Do you know who Hatsune Miku is? 7) Was Ani inspired from Misa from Death Note? 8) Can you make Asteroid (the Shiba Inu zero-g indicator she designed for the Polaris Dawn mission) the mascot for SpaceX?

Just yesterday I was reading about a place near by. "Greasy Creek General Store got its name from the creek that runs at the bottom of the hill. Supposedly, back in the day, a wagon loaded down with lard tipped over while crossing the creek. It was given the name “Greasy Creek”, and is the main creek you cross when coming East out of Buffalo, MO, on either the old Main Street or the new Hwy 32."

Not the Beef Tallow! @SteaknShake

@LLBiggers Decent chair dancing.

It’s so easy to love fossil fuels!

We all knew this guy in high school. Solid dude, got married to the chick he dated senior year and they’re still married.

Yes, the "bridging movement" is all about stopping Trump.

Based on my recent reporting trip to Minneapolis (and we were told as much by the locals), it is unsafe for people who are white and not known to key people in the area to be in certain neighborhoods or stores. If you are not accompanied by a known local, you may be profiled, followed/tracked, approached and questioned by people who will demand answers but not tell you who they are, told you "don't belong," told to leave, and/or made to feel threatened. I'm talking about peacefully going to public places in an open society. I was surprised, too.

Heh!

Same. Checked out.

@kyledunnigan Yeah, my feelings exactly.

DHS confirms that this Haitian illegal alien was caught and released at the border by the Biden administration in August 2022. He was later ordered deported by an immigration judge, but the Biden administration shielded him from deportation by granting him TPS, which expired in 2024. The victim he brutally bludgeoned to death with a hammer was an innocent store clerk and mother of two. This horrific video speaks for itself.

@RobProvince I haven't been to a game in years. Good idea. The opener was last night and I could hear the fireworks from the Hillcrest HS area.

@kirkahall Have some cashew chicken and watch the game.

I have absolutely no idea where this is going but what an absolute bonkers time to be alive.

@RepMariaSalazar It's amnesty. They all have to go back. Deport them all if they broke the law.

READ. THE. BILL. BEFORE. YOU. OPEN. YOUR. MOUTH. Calling the DIGNITY Act “amnesty” isn’t just wrong. It’s a deliberate distortion and it exposes just how little you know about the bill. This is enforcement first: zero tolerance for criminals, permanent border security, and hard, earned requirements to step forward and face the law, so American workers are protected, not undercut. Amnesty is the chaos you’ve defended, millions in the shadows, no control, no accountability, and a system that stopped working a long time ago. No shortcuts. No giveaways. No blanket forgiveness. That’s law and order. That’s DIGNITY.

@landofthe80s @Dratzenberger I was just thinking about him last night when one of my shoes started squeaking.

Happy birthday to actor @Dratzenberger! John delighted audiences in the ‘80s as Cliff Clavin on the TV series "Cheers". He has since voiced many popular characters. #80s
