Pirate Radio » The PIRATE Act
Congress is in the process of passing a non-partisan bill to increase support for enforcement against illegal pirate radio operations: Fines can now go as high as $2 million, and the FCC will fund “enforcement sweeps” in major radio markets. Does this target well-intentioned community radio, designed to speak to immigrant communities?

All lesbian sci-fi all the time
Dude who picked the stories? Like maybe one or two but it’s like 80% lesbian love stories.....umm ok. The one I thought was the boringest turned out to be my favorite about the AI on the hurricane island. The dancer one was ok too could have done without her forlornness though. Overall 3/5 would have been 4 if not for the recurring lesbian theme, I mean what about other lgbt people, or like any dudes?
