There’s a rumor going around Tumblr that the Senate rejected SOPA. Wrong.

The Senate rejected a measure to reverse an FCC ruling on Net Neutrality. Thankfully, Net Neutrality won that battle.

There are now two more bills floating through Congress: SOPA (HR 3261), and the Protect IP Act (S 968). Follow those links and learn about them. Open Congress is a wonderful site that will let anyone track their favorite (or least favorite) pieces of legislation that fail to create jobs.

The fact of SOPA/ProtectIP’s popularity on Capitol Hill — not to mention Congress recently declaring that pizza is a vegetable — demonstrates how Congress exists in a parallel universe, completely disconnected from the reality the rest of us face.
