    Always love how republicans and conservatives are constantly so preoccupied with sex, sex, sex all the time and in ever more imaginative and obscure ways.

    I now associate their religious beliefs to sex, Jesus, sex, guns, sex, the American flag and sex.

      So surprisingly a couple things have actually happened. Renewables are still showing explosive growth, it helped stave off as many rolling blackouts this summer. Also, they finally agreed to tie into the national grid.

      Now, did they actually winterize and help prevent what happened a few years ago? Who knows, we haven’t been told shit so probably not.

    If they can outlaw a specific store from selling something, they can outlaw any store from selling anything. This isn’t just about sex toys, it’s a test to see what they can get away with.

    Exqueeze me? The fuck? Is that real?

    Edit: yes. Although it’s mired in legislative gobbledygook:

    Sec. 43.23. OBSCENITY. (a) A person commits an offense if, knowing its content and character, he wholesale promotes or possesses with intent to wholesale promote any obscene material or obscene device.

    (b) Except as provided by Subsection (h), an offense under Subsection (a) is a state jail felony.

    © A person commits an offense if, knowing its content and character, he:

    (1) promotes or possesses with intent to promote any obscene material or obscene device; or

    (2) produces, presents, or directs an obscene performance or participates in a portion thereof that is obscene or that contributes to its obscenity.

    (d) Except as provided by Subsection (h), an offense under Subsection © is a Class A misdemeanor.

    (e) A person who promotes or wholesale promotes obscene material or an obscene device or possesses the same with intent to promote or wholesale promote it in the course of his business is presumed to do so with knowledge of its content and character.

    (f) A person who possesses six or more obscene devices or identical or similar obscene articles is presumed to possess them with intent to promote the same.

    So, women seem to be exempt (“he possesses with intent”) and it is a “performance”. Whatever that means. And it’s a misdemeanor.

    But it’s real. Can have six dildos in a performance, but more than six? Oooh that’s a paddlin’.

      The documentary, Dildo Diaries, explores the topic in great, and sometimes hilarious detail. I happened to see this film around 2003, at a small art cinema, with Laura Barton and Judy Wilder present. So afterwards we had a Q&A. At that time one could sell/posses a ‘representative model’ for demonstrating how to put on a condom, but it was illegal if it also vibrated. And one could sell/ possess a non-anatomically correct ‘dildo’, which could legally vibrate. But one could not sell / purchase both from the same store. There were/ are literally stores that have an interior door dividing the two types. Also, if I recall correctly, there were limits on how many one could have, and categories including ‘collectors’ for those that had more than 6, I think.

    You know, studies show that keeping a dildo inside the house is more dangerous than a loaded gun. That’s why I own 10 guns, in case some maniac tries to sneak in a dildo.

    I’m interested in seeing a judicial decision on whether a double ended dildo counts as one dildo or two dildos.

    If you create a religion with a dildo being recognized by your dogma as official iconography, could you unlock “unlimited dildos” based upon religious freedom exceptions?

    It’s always en vogue to report on every batshit-crazy bill filed by Republicans in the Texas legislature, and while there’s genuinely some terrible legislation that gets passed, the Texas Legislature is where bills go to die, and this will definitely be one that dies. This bill will never get out of committee, and this headline is a lie.
