Charlotte did something I couldn't: found a use for my old DVDs and game discs 😁

🤦

I also don't appreciate that apparently my opinion doesn't matter, since "I'm not a resident of the EU" is a required field.

Which it of course is because they want to get past common sense EU regulations restricting their ability to infest people's devices with malware.

Appeals court tells Texas it cannot ban books for mentioning ‘butt and fart’

Conservative-dominated court restores books denounced by officials as ‘pornographic filth’ to school libraries

An appellate court has ruled that Texas cannot ban books from libraries simply because they mention “butt and fart” and other content which some state officials may dislike.

The fifth US circuit court of appeals issued its decision on Thursday in a 76-page majority opinion, which was written by Judge Jacques Wiener Jr and opened with a quote from American poet Walt Whitman: “The dirtiest book in all the world is the expurgated book.”

In its decision, the appellate court declared that “government actors may not remove books from a public library with the intent to deprive patrons of access to ideas with which they disagree”.
