Before the 2024 Oklahoma legislative sessions begin, thousands of bills will be filed and most will never come close to becoming law.

One Oklahoma lawmaker, Rep. Justin Humphrey, R-Lane, decided to file a bill targeting "furries," or people in a subculture interested in anthropomorphic animal characters, in Oklahoma schools.

I had a neighbor just straight up ask me if the school my kid went to had litterboxes instead of bathrooms, because he heard it on the "news".

I spent some time explaining to the poor man what propoganda is, and how to recognize it, and that it's important to understand that if someome is trying to get an emotional reaction out of you, they're trying to manipulate you into doing or thinking something stupid.

He's handicapped and spends a lot of time watching TV, and didn't realize how much news channels have devolved into propoganda outlets.
