bruce_schneier_feedThis is crazy. Lawmakers in several US states are contemplating banning VPNs, because…think of the children!
As of this writing, Wisconsin lawmakers are escalating their war on privacy by targeting VPNs in the name of “protecting children” in A.B. 105/S.B. 130. It’s an age verification bill that requires all websites distributing material that could conceivably be deemed “sexual content” to both implement an age verification system and also to block the access of users connected via VPN. The bill seeks to broadly expand the definition of materials that are “harmful to minors” beyond the type of speech that states can prohibit minors from accessing potentially encompassing things like depictions and discussions of human anatomy, sexuality, and reproduction.
The EFF link explains why this is a terrible idea.

December 1st, 2025: December! It's a new month, filled with new experience too, but also, FAMILIAR experiences (like comics that are new but use the same pictures but also have been using the same pictures for a few decades at this point)!!! – Ryan | ||
sidereacosmolinguistToday my online pal Ri, in the Netherlands, said
My sister is going to the MECFS protest in Den Haag today, on my behalf. She has a piece of cartbord and is asking me what to write on it.
Any ideas?
I suggested "Don't forget the people you don't see."
(I think about this a lot, at every protest I'm at.)
Their sister chose this from the suggestions Ri made. They shared a photo their sister took. Written on the cardboard is:
Vergeet de mensen die je niet ziet niet.
- Ri, ME sinds 2012, bedbound sinds 2021
Ri also gave the English translation:
Don't forget the people you don't see.
- Ri, ME since 2012, bedbound since 2021.Vergeet and Niet (forgot and not) are bolder and bigger than the other words.
aih_heraldry_feedOn this feast day of Saint Andrew – the traditional patron of Scotland – the Académie Internationale d’Héraldique mourns the passing of Mark Dennis, holder of Seat No. 72, to which he acceded in 2021 (having previously been co-opted as an Associate Member of the Academy ten years earlier).
A native of California who later settled in Scotland, a former advocate and subsequently a tribunal judge for two decades, Mark Dennis devoted his work primarily to Scots heraldry, establishing himself as a gifted, innovative, and prolific heraldic artist.
He served as Chairman of the Heraldry Society of Scotland from 2008 to 2014. In 2009 he was appointed an Officer of Arms as Ormond Pursuivant, and he retired from the Court of the Lord Lyon at the age of seventy in 2020 as Ross Herald Extraordinary.
May the Lord grant eternal rest to his soul!

dw_newskarzilla reminded me about the existence of linear time again. Wait, no -- well, yes, but also -- okay, look, let me back up and start again: it's almost December, and that means it's time for our annual December holiday points bonus.kaberettThe terrible hyphenation one can reasonably attribute to a failure to invest in subject specialist proof readers (or possibly any proof readers at all, good grief).
The wildly ahistorical nonsense about the history of medicine? Less so. I begin to understand why there isn't a references section, and I've only made it as far as page 7 before needing to stop and shriek about it and also stare at a wall for a bit...
