On Monday, I published a two-part blog post about the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) settlement with Aylo, parent company of Pornhub. The FTC’s complaint alleged that Aylo violated federal consumer protection law by allowing child sex abuse material (CSAM) and non-consensual pornography (which I’ll call NCII) on its various sites, despite claiming it didn’t. The […]

ALTON — The USS LST-325, a World War II-era landing ship turned floating museum, will be docked at the port of Alton from Sept. 18 to 22, 2025, offering daily tours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Commissioned in 1943, the USS LST-325 played a significant role in the European theater of World War II, participating in key invasions including Sicily and Normandy. Designed to carry tanks, vehicles, and troops directly onto hostile beaches during assaults, the vessel was vital to the success of Allied operations despite its modest top speed of about 11 miles per hour. Often referred to as the "last ship there" or "large slow target," the LST-325’s importance lay in its ability to deliver essential equipment and personnel during amphibious assaults rather than speed. Visitors to the ship can purchase tours for $20 per adult and $10 for children aged 6 to 17. Children 5 and under may tour for free. The museum aims to educate the public about the ship’s service not only in World

As Mike just got done noting, our major media companies continue to respond to authoritarianism by being pathetic and feckless little shitweasels. First with the ABC and CBS bribery payments to our mad idiot king, and most recently exemplified by ABC’s firing of Jimmy Kimmel because he gave Republicans a sad. Who could have imagined […]

CHICAGO - This week, Governor JB Pritzker joined a coalition of 17 other state governors, issuing a joint letter urging House Speaker Mike Johnson, Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Leader John Thune, and Leader Chuck Schumer to extend the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) enhanced premium tax credits (ePTCs). With the tax credits set to expire at the end of the year and insurers already beginning to set 2026 rates, this united front of state leaders represents an effort to lock in lower premiums for working families. Without Congressional action, the effects of premium surges will be felt nationwide for years. “For many hardworking families across Illinois, these tax credits keep affordable healthcare within reach,” said Governor JB Pritzker. “Families shouldn’t have to choose between having healthcare and putting food on the table.
