  • Apparently the EU has just rolled out new “protection of minors” laws that prescribe online age verification for…a lot of things.

    I’ve read anecdotes from people who couldn’t get on their Discord servers, and a lot of X users are complaining that they are unable to see “mature content” (which seems to include things like calling your local prime minister a dumb idiot and whatnot). First I read stories like these from the UK and though “oh I hope that’s just a bri’ish thing, they need a loicense for that now huh gov’na” but no, apparently it’s EU-wide. No warnings about that either, it just so happened. Seems very much like something the EU would do, their idiotic GDPR is ruining browsing since 2018 with those stupid cookie settings.

    My X doesn’t have any issues so far. I wonder if that’s because my chinese phone is set to the US default lol. Any EU citizens here experiencing any problems?


  • Although the Black Sabbath frontman was raised in the Church of England, his marriage to television personality and manager Sharon Osbourne (Levy) - whose late father Don Arden was Ashkenazi Jewish - put Judaism “at the heart of our household,” she told The Jewish Chronicle last year, adding, “Judaism is the only religion I have and the only one I’m comfortable with.”

    Sharon recalled that from the start of their relationship, her husband wanted to understand antisemitism. “Why don’t people like Jews?” was a question Ozzy asked her “since the day we met,” she told Jewish News in December 2023, noting that the rocker remained “so confused” by today’s rise in Jew-hatred.

    Osbourne’s solidarity extended beyond the concert circuit. In March 2025, he and Sharon joined more than 200 entertainment and business figures in an open letter demanding an inquiry into what they called “systematic bias against Israel” at the BBC, The Jewish Chronicle reported.
