It is very revealing when sex-negative Puritans accuse a person of pedophilia simply for dating a person who is short, or who looks vaguely young... they conceive of the problem being the wrong kind of attraction, rather than the exploitation of power.

and once you believe attraction itself can be inherently damaging, it is not a leap to claim that a person cannot ever fantasize or masturbate to a friend without their consent, for example, or even just that being openly gay is child abuse/grooming. it is a reactionary position. but you see lots of queer people believing in some form of it.

so here's what I've now done to make the internet usable as a person living in the UK without handing my ID and/or facial scans over to random third parties:

signed up for a ProtonVPN account

set up a tunnel from my router to a ProtonVPN server in Sweden

written a python script to query DNS servers for social media domains every 15 minutes and collate the results into a list of IP address ranges

created routing and firewall policies to block connections to those IP ranges on my normal connection and send them through the VPN tunnel instead

set up a second, personal VPN so I can make my mobile devices connect to the internet through my home network even when I'm not at home

now it's time to open source this whole thing so others can enjoy using the internet the same way they did three weeks ago

Film Review: The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974)

One of the things about having read Paperbacks From Hell is that Grady Hendrix does a really solid job of laying out that for all the ways that the horror genre can be progressive, it can also be tremendously conservative as well, drawing the root of the threat of the horror from societal prejudices. The same lies with the thriller and disaster genres – a place where The Taking of Pelham One Two…
