As Prudes Drive Social Media Takedowns, Museums Embrace… OnlyFans? | Techdirt

The Best Thing about having both a Vacuum Chamber and a Dehydrator in the Kitchen
So a few years ago a colleague-friend gave me a sous-vide wand; as all these things begin, at first I purchased a cheap “food-saver” type vacuum sealer, but eventually bought a vacuum chamber because it allows for bagging soups and other liquids without stress.

Three Generations of a Hackneyed Apologia for Censorship Are Enough | Popehat
People tend to cite the “fire in a crowded theater” quote for two reasons, both bolstered by Holmes’ fame. First, they trot out the Holmes quote for the proposition that not all speech is protected by the First Amendment. But this is not in dispute. Saying it is not an apt or persuasive argument for
