All well and good, that she think that. But this is not, in fact, the limit of the law. They passed a law claiming to go after "the worst of the worst" as it were, but wrote it broadly. Now, even vanilla creators are having their content blocked and demonitized.
I see that Clare McGlynn has said about the Crime and Policing Act 2026 offences:
“These new pornography laws are targeting the content on mainstream porn sites, which normalise and minimise violence against women and girls. The target is the sort of material where ‘Daddy’ creeps into the bedroom of his very young-looking daughter and starts having sex with her, on the basis that this is legitimising incest.
The law is also targeting material such as ‘4-foot-6’ porn – this is the average height of a 10-year-old girl – which sends a message that it’s acceptable to find sex with children sexually arousing, minimising the harms of child sexual abuse.”
I also note that she shall be giving oral evidence from 2:30pm tomorrow on the implementation and impact of the Online Safety Act, before the Communications and Digital Committee.
I shall be watching keenly, as you can too, here:

Women who don’t seek marriage are viewed as irrational, meanwhile men openly announce they “understand” cheating on one’s wife because she aged.
The reality is that women are expected to see these sentiments, to understand that should they be abandoned, other men will “understand,” but believe so deeply in their ability to “choose right” that the gamble doesn’t matter.
It works out as a moral puzzle that exonerates the man every time - by definition, if he cheats (or abuses, etc) she “chose wrong” in the first place and deserved it.
Every woman is expected to believe SHE will “choose right” and also believe that failing to roll the dice (opting out of marriage) is forfeiting any chance at happiness.
More & more woman are waking up to this rigged calculation and, as a result, men cry about birth rates and demean them. Maybe these champions of marriage & family should throw a fit in the comments of men like this instead.
A Japanese man says he escaped a sinking car by remembering a tip from Detective Conan.
His car was hit and went into a river after another driver reversed near a cemetery.
For the first 20 seconds he thought he was going to die, then a scene from episode 1078 flashed through his mind.
He waited for the cabin to fill so the pressure equalized, pushed the door open, and swam out.
A nearby resident helped him onto the bank. He wrote that he “can’t thank the creator of Conan enough.”

Massie: "I hope Hegseth addresses the 8 articles of impeachment, and doesn‘t get up and misquote the Bible in Quentin Tarantino fashion and do some pull-ups and call everybody fat and gay. I may have just given you half his speech, I don't know."

Humans should NOT be driving cars!! All cars should have full self driving capabilities and humans should never be behind the wheel. It’s CRAZY we allow humans to drive!
The AI doomers are wrong. Predictions of catastrophic job loss haven't come to pass and most likely won't.
But there are some things that probably should be automated. Or as @taylorlorenz puts it: "It's insane that we allow human beings to drive cars."

So, I have a few thoughts regarding Alabama’s election last night.
Am I disappointed that Doug Jones lost? Absolutely.
Am I also encouraged by how Doug Jones ran? ABSOLUTELY!
I haven’t seen an Alabama statewide election this competitive in a LONG time. Tommy Tuberville won by only about 4 percentage points. Let that sink in. FOUR POINTS. In ALABAMA!
That tells me something: Alabama isn’t nearly as untouchable politically as some people would have you believe. And THAT is encouraging to me.
Several good things happened last night.
We saw competitive races across the state, Democratic victories, and a level of support for Doug Jones that many people probably never thought possible in Alabama. Jones received more than 800,000 votes in a state that many have written off politically.
But the biggest win?
SHOMARI FIGURES WON REELECTION TO CONGRESS IN A DISTRICT THAT WAS EXTREMELY GERRYMANDERED TO FAVOR REPUBLICANS!
Let that sink in, too!
What does this mean?
It means Alabama may not be the safe red state that people have grown accustomed to. It means there are voters here who want something different. It means change is possible, even when the odds are stacked against us.
It also means there is still WORK to do. And trust and believe, Montgomery AND Washington, D.C., got the message last night!
One more thing… (and I say this in love).
To my Alabama natives who now live in other states:
Now is NOT the time to tell us that Alabama will never change. And PLEASE don’t tell us that everyone here is complacent or doesn’t want change, because that simply isn’t true.
Remember, some of the states you currently live in, and sometimes look down on Alabama from, were once considered solidly red, too. People said those states would never change, either.
But guess what? Change happened because people stayed, organized, voted, worked, and refused to give up.
We don’t need your negativity right now. We need your encouragement and support.
There are people right here in Alabama who are putting in the work, fighting for progress, organizing communities, and refusing to accept that things have to remain the way they’ve always been.
Don’t dismiss their efforts simply because the results aren’t happening as quickly as you would like.
And finally, to my fellow Alabamians:
Cry today. Wipe those tears tomorrow. Then get MOTIVATED and get back to WORK!
Because change doesn’t happen overnight, and it certainly doesn’t happen when we give up.
Alabama is worth fighting for. And last night proved that the fight is FAR from over!
