Deadline - until January 1, 2025, Yandex and Ozon promised to prepare Deputies of the State Duma of the Russian Federation at a plenary meeting today, November 30, immediately adopted in the second and third readings a bill to extend the period during which one can register and log in on Russian websites using a foreign email. The period during which it will still be possible to use foreign services has been extended until January 1, 2025. The author of the bill is Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Information Policy, Information Technologies and Communications Anton Gorelkin. [caption id="attachment_85112" align="aligncenter" width="780"] State Duma[/caption] the State Duma extended the possibility of authorization in RuNet through foreign services Let us recall that in July of this year, the State Duma adopted a law that obliges authorization on Russian websites in several ways: by mobile phone number, through “State Services”, the Unified Biometric System or another domestic service. You cannot log in using foreign email or services like Google or Apple ID. The amendments were supposed to come into force on December 1, 2023, but after discussing the issue with market representatives, it turned out that not all digital platforms will be able to prepare and begin to comply with this law within the specified time frame, as Gorelkin noted. The deputy added that Yandex and Ozon undertake to bring their authorization systems into compliance with the law within 2024 and launch them by 2025. According to him, the decision on the transition period was made not for the sake of digital companies, but for the sake of users, since if such a bill is not adopted now, then people will be inconvenient to use many services.

Pukicho was in a plan of some sorts with a lawmaker to evade taxes and disappear. They said goodbye over Tumblr, along with revealing almost the entire plot, yet somehow it wasn't discovered by the police/news.

You think the harry potter books "fund a global transphobic organization"?? Because a female author said that males aren't females and she gives money to rape centers and womens shelters?
Yes, absolutely. The revenue the Harry Potter franchise generates funds the transphobic outreach of a transphobic author and the money she gives to transphobic organizations.

unwarranted Cis Opinion but I'm getting really uncomfortable w people responding to bathroom bills by posting pictures of trans men like DO YOU WANT THEM IN WOMEN'S BATHROOMS
bc like. no they're men. they should be in men's bathrooms unless that feels unsafe. but. it really feels like it's not helpful to lean into the idea that seeing someone presenting masc or being read as a man in a women's bathroom means You're In Danger.
like I know several butch women and NB ppl who are really scared around being on T or getting top surgery bc they're not men and they don't want to be in the men's bathroom, and in that circumstance stuff like growing facial hair or reading more androgynously can be really fucking scary when people are being primed by propaganda to be on edge and hyperreactive to anyone who doesn't look like their idea of a Cis Woman.
and I'm not laying that at the feet of the people saying "hey uhhhh trans men are men and don't belong in women's bathrooms" bc it is not their fault. it's the fault of a concerted effort to make it difficult and dangerous to be trans or substantively gender nonconforming in public.
but at the same time idk I guess it just worries me cause sometimes it feels like "you fools! you are worried about this group of trans people bc you think they're the Lurking Danger of Men In Bathrooms? WRONG! the Men Making You Feel Afraid In Bathrooms are actually THESE trans people!" when in fact neither of those groups using the fucking bathroom is a problem. just piss and mind your business. people need to go where they need to go.
anyway this country is a hot fucking trash fire that somehow accelerates its descent into open fascism more every day so it's all super good and normal. so don't take this too seriously tbh cause it's somewhere near #2535654476457899009765 on the list of priorities for Queer Discourse right now when the fucking human rights commission is actively rescinding protections from trans people. Please ignore my gibberish.

Putting chaplains in public school is the latest battle in culture wars
Here comes the American far-right "Christian Taliban," all set to indoctrinate a new generation of Americans into a warped, right-wing "Christianity."
Our Founders must be spinning in their graves.
Lawmakers in mostly conservative states are pushing a coordinated effort to bring chaplains into public schools, aided by a new, legislation-crafting network that aims to address policy issues “from a biblical world view” and by a consortium whose promotional materials say chaplains are a way to convert millions to Christianity.
The bills have been introduced this legislative season in 14 states, inspired by Texas, which passed a law last year allowing school districts to hire chaplains or use them as volunteers for whatever role the local school board sees fit, including replacing trained counselors. Chaplain bills were approved by one legislative chamber in three states — Utah, Indiana and Louisiana — but died in Utah and Indiana. Bills are pending in nine states. One passed both houses of Florida’s legislature and is awaiting the governor’s signature.

The bills are mushrooming in an era when the U.S. Supreme Court has expanded the rights of religious people and groups in the public square and weakened historic protections meant to keep the government from endorsing religion. In a 2022 case, Justice Neil M. Gorsuch referred to the “so-called separation of church and state.” Former president Donald Trump has edged close to a government-sanctioned religion by asserting in his campaign that immigrants who “don’t like our religion — which a lot of them don’t” would be barred from the country in a second term.
“We are reclaiming religious freedom in this country,” said Jason Rapert, a former Arkansas state senator and the president of the National Association of Christian Lawmakers, which he founded in 2019 to craft model legislation, according to the group’s site. Its mission is “to bring federal, state and local lawmakers together in support of clear biblical principles … to address major policy concerns from a biblical world view,” the site says.
The group hosted House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) late last year at its gala at the Museum of the Bible in Washington. The chaplain bills, Rapert said, are part of an effort to empower “the values and principles of the founding fathers.” Critics who compare such efforts with theocracy, he said, are creating “a false flag, a boogeyman by radical left to demonize everyone of faith.”
Rapert says he’ll push in the next round of chaplain bills to make the positions mandatory.
Heather Weaver, senior staff attorney at the ACLU Program on Freedom of Religion and Belief, called allowing chaplains into public schools “a constitutional time bomb.”
“It definitely would be a much more direct route to promoting religion to students and evangelizing them than we’ve seen in the past.” she said.
