Science Friction

…sadly, Truffaut’s picture might qualify as horror nowadays since it appears the United States has arrived at the fascist destination Bradbury warned us about. [More]

The books Bradbury championed were classics of literature and they were actually banned in his novel. There’s a big difference between that and taxpayers objecting to funding the distribution of grooming porn in publicly-financed schools and libraries. And if you’re still intent on teaching your 12-year-old how to blow other boys, we’ll always have Amazon.

Not much noise from these characters when they act just like the Farenheit 451 firemen:

Parent Marie Rothstein-Williams made a formal complaint to the school board last month, arguing that the books offended her biracial son.

And speaking ot woke science fiction, this @$$hole needs to go back to driving a Johnny Cab. His entire AI character is absurd unless you believe software would still be relevant 900 years after installed, and his real life persona is even more so unless you believe thinking that sanctimoniously preachy writing and acting sucks makes someone a racist.

Case in point:

Hey, as long as we’re talking about banning printed information…

Let the Door Hit Ya

Not so proud to be American — ‘fed up’ expats renounce citizenship [More]

They sound like guns wouldn’t do ’em much good anyway:

What a goose-like fool:

“This government is so vindictive,” the man said. “It’s such a changed country from the one I left behind.”

Yeah, cancel culture did flourish under Biden. The sanctimonious weakling oughta feel right at home with the Brit government threatening to prosecute Americans who run afoul of the speech tyranny it imposes on its subjects.

After all, they lead the world!

Meanwhile, Across the Pond

In these documents, in particular the fining decision issued on Monday, October 13th, 2025, the UK’s Internet regulator claims that its powers have supremacy over the U.S. Constitution, including the First Amendment, and U.S. law for U.S. companies and citizens engaged in constitutionally protected speech and conduct occurring exclusively on U.S. soil. [More]

I note all the extortion attempts are signed “Yours faithfully, Ofcom Enforcement,” meaning “Yours facelessly,” with the indignant martinet who has spent untold hours compiling “hamster bedding” failing to see how personally cowardly, impotent and absurd he is.

I wonder, if the client ever travels within UK jurisdiction, if he’d be subject to arrest and prosecution, and if the U.S. State Department would come to his defense.

I also wonder how I can get on the list, maybe by inviting anyone from the UK to leave a forbidden comment here…

It’s Time for Commonsense Thought Safety Laws!

New York City has filed a lawsuit against major social media companies, accusing them of contributing to a youth mental health crisis through the design and operation of their platforms. [More]

Not that I give a damn about any of those platforms, but I notice no one is saying anything about the portion shared by the Democrat government the yutes live under, the compulsory Democrat school systems that put them through 12+ years of standardized indoctrination, and the Democrat parents who vote for more of it.

Here’s what else is missing: What an acceptable platform and information would look like, especially after they elect the commie.

Admission of Guilt

Google Admits Censorship Under Biden; Promises to End Bans of YouTube Accounts of Thousands of Americans Censored for Political Speech [More]

Yeah, well I’ll believe change is real when I see it:

Speaking from personal experience, Google’s censorship of documented reporting is why I was compelled to remove my The War on Guns blog from Blogger and seek out new digs. And I’ve been documenting for some time the dwindling number of hits from Google’s modified algorithm, to where none of my AmmoLand articles, which used to be prioritized, appear on the first page of a search on the “News” tab. And that’s despite much diligent behind-the-scenes work on optimizing SEO visibility.

And even though I have a lot more exposure now, I don’t get anywhere near the site visits here that I did on the old blog.

Help Wanted – Inquire Within

AmmoLand is under pressure. The firearms industry has pulled back on advertising, and Big Tech—now powered by anti-gun AI—is quietly burying our pro-gun content in search results. These funding cuts threaten our ability to deliver the legal coverage, alerts, and fearless reporting you rely on. [More]

Just to share personal experience, I do a search for my work under Google’s News tab to see how it propagates and my AmmoLand stuff is routinely buried behind pages of returns, meaning it won’t be seen. I’ve also noted on several occasions links I post to Facebook to promote my articles result in “Forbidden” messages, meaning followers can’t access them:

On the trip I took recently, I noticed the wifi at Cleveland Airport wouldn’t allow me to load AmmoLand pages (I know, we shouldn’t make a practice of using public wifi but I wanted to do an experiment.) I’m going to test this further, because while it’s a private contractor deciding what gets through its filters, it’s a public facility and may represent a First Amendment violation by government using a proxy.

In the meantime, the appeal for help is real and wouldn’t be made unless necessary.

If you are an AmmoLand regular, that means you recognize that you get value from the site. If you’re a regular here, ditto.

A reason I find it a very useful outlet to write for is that — unlike the magazines — the ability to immediately post on AmmoLand means I can present original breaking stories and exclusives, including on FOIA requests and lawsuits I’m involved in, as well as unique observations on RKBA political and legal developments uncovered elsewhere.

I remember what I asked for when Mike Vanderboegh was undergoing his terrible ordeal and have adapted it for this situation:

I’m not going to ask you to send … a donation … Not a cent in gift money. What I will ask you to do –all of you who visit [the] site every day and receive value from it–is pay for that value. I’m asking you to voluntarily subscribe to [AmmoLand] and help [them] continue to bring YOU … daily reports and insights. Just so we’re clear: This is NOT CHARITY. This is PAYMENT FOR SERVICES BEING RENDERED.

And that goes double for the host of regulars who routinely take advantage of AmmoLand comments to amplify and make their voices heard .

We routinely complain about how the gun prohibitionists have no problem getting their talking point narratives parroted by the same major media that suppresses our arguments, and we see AstroTurf projects like the Michael Bloomberg-seeded propaganda mill paying good wages to propagandists masked as journalists. Here we have a valuable resource that’s struggling and asking for help, and if we lose it we’ll lose a unique voice that produces much content not provided on competitor sites.

I hope people reading this don’t find excuses not to do anything (or to air personal criticisms/grievances) — if you’re a returning reader/comment poster, you’ve already demonstrated you’re receiving value regardless.

Defend freedom. Voluntarily subscribe today.

It’s Academic

Maine: Anti-Gun Professor Tries to Silence Pro-Gun Student – It Backfires Badly [More]

Like many bullies, she’s great at dishing it out but gets all psychically fragile when someone stands up to her. Let’s hope all the uproar sends her home quivering and reaching for the Xanax, box wine, and cat between outbursts of self-pity and rage.

Related UPDATE

The community college professor continued to heap insults on the student: “And think again about Jesus packing heat. Really. You and your ilk drive me nuts with your hypocrisy. Guns kill. Own it.” [More]

Jesus didn’t, but his disciples did.

Why Are Authorities STILL Hiding Social Media Profiles After High-Profile Crimes? [More]

So much for government censorship being a First Amendment violation…

Which makes the advocacy by some on “our side” not to name names a self-defeating gift to the controllers, ever eager to seize the opportunity to blame opponents of Democrats with headlines like “Domestic terrorist groomed by MAGA parents.”

I’d like to see a bill putting constraints on disabling profiles, requiring a judge to determine which specific pieces of information must necessarily be withheld because they could jeopardize investigations.

We’re Not So Different After All

“The attempt to silence critical voices by framing them as right wing and extremist. Under the pretext of fighting hate speech and disinformation, legitimate opinions are being criminalized. And finally, there is our domestic intelligence service, the so-called Office for the Protection of our Constitution. In reality, it’s nothing but a service for protecting the establishment’s dwindling power. [More]

Took me a sec to realize she wasn’t talking about the U.S…
