On August 8, police arrived on the scene of Long Branch Lagoon Water Park in Dodge City, Kansas, to the sight of three self-described “bearded, burly men” who had been in the women’s bathroom and changing area. The manager of the municipally run property allegedly screamed and rushed children out the door.

The men knew this was likely. They didn’t agitate any of the women; they didn’t remove their clothes or make crass comments. They simply used the gendered spaces that the state of Kansas requires them to use by law, because these men are transgender.

“Supporters of SB244, including Attorney General Kris Kobach and Senate Majority Leader Ty Masterson, billed it as a way to keep men out of women’s spaces; it clearly requires some men to enter women’s spaces,” a press release sent to news outlets reads. So, these men took action—using malicious compliance to prove their point.

“Segregating people by suspected genitalia does nothing to improve public safety; it does quite the opposite by opening Kansans up to sexual harassment and discrimination. At no point should anyone be asking anyone else what genitals they have in public.”

The men, dressed in yellow “Compliance Crew” shirts, were part of a small group of trans-masculine Kansans who used the women’s room at facilities across the state that day in a coordinated action. They were also spotted at a zoo, a library, a museum, and other parks. They were in Emporia, Great Bend, Garden City, and Dodge City. At the library, at least one patron complained; at other places, the men used the bathroom and received dirty looks, and simply left the space without confrontation.

But at Long Branch Lagoon, members of the Kansas Compliance Crew resorted to having to describe their genitals to police in order to resolve the matter and avoid arrest.

“The men had a discussion with the manager and police and explained the situation, including uncomfortable descriptions of their bodies,” the press release said. Furthermore, both the manager and the police reportedly said “they had never heard of SB244 nor been notified by any government entity of its passage.”

“I could easily continue using the men’s restroom under the radar,” said Ray Vieux, who participated as one of the demonstrators.

Lev Shlosberg of the Yabloko party has been sentenced to over 11 years in a penal colony for criticizing the war in Ukraine. "A single person is imprisoned, yet fear seeps into the hearts of millions," he said in court.

Lev Shlosberg, a senior member of Russia's liberal opposition party Yabloko, was pronounced guilty of "public actions aimed at discrediting the use of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation" and sentenced to 11 years and 1 month in a penal colony by a court in Pskov on Monday.

Shlosberg has described the war as a catastrophe for Russia. The Kremlin says he is spreading slanderous lies about the army.

Making his closing statement before the verdict and sentence were read on Monday, Shlosberg maintained his innocence, saying he was the victim of a political trial.

On August 10, Russia's Supreme Court banned Yabloko — the only registered political party calling for an end to Russia's invasion of Ukraine — from participating in upcoming parliamentary elections. The decision was upheld on Monday.

The astonishing claims about the Birmingham-born Black Sabbath icon, who died last year, were made by American heavy metal star Dee Snider, of Twisted Sister.

In a post on X, he claimed Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler penned all of the band's lyrics.

He also claimed Ozzy's first two solo albums featured lyrics written by Bob Daisley, and that the No More Tears album had contributions from Lemmy Kilmister.

Snider also suggested that Sharon Osbourne "doesn't like to share" while discussing the legacy of Ozzy's music, but aded that while many artisits don't write their own material they can still make songs their own.

this slipped out of me some week ago so whateverrrrrr now it's a post. have fun.

got not much to add. still two posts to make.. let's see if i can make them.

i wish you a wonderful day ~

The AI companies have laid-out a clear plan: Watch everything you do, all the time, in perpetuity -- with Flock, that's done offline; with ChatGPT, Microsoft Windows, and NVIDIA's AI adventures, that's also done digitally. Meanwhile, the circular funding gets increasingly ridiculous as NVIDIA bankrolls everyone it can to keep the music going. The good news is that we can turn to Jim Cramer for salient, sane advice -- live in a data center, or something. The clowns are running the asylum.

NEW YORK. Community resistance against federal immigration enforcement is actively expanding its operational footprint across New York City. The grassroots coalition Hands Off NYC is systematically canvassing commercial corridors from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, to Staten Island to train local businesses on how to counter federal operations. The initiative is part of a coordinated, citywide effort to establish a unified baseline of noncompliance when ICE agents enter private or public spaces.

The hotline is active seven days a week from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM and offers support in both English and Spanish. Dispatchers request that witnesses provide SALUTE details (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, and Equipment) and include a photograph if it can be acquired safely. This centralized reporting mechanism allows the community to verify enforcement actions, map federal movements, and issue rapid tactical alerts to surrounding neighborhoods.
