"The agreement places no restrictions on our transgender community."

Except whether they can play sports, where they can use the bathroom or locker room, what kind of housing they can live in, and what healthcare they can receive.

This is an excellent excellent interview!!

I really like Team Cherry detailing their approach to Act 3, how the narrative and Hornet's character arc are so intriniscally tied to the player's own experience, creating some really satisfying ludonarrative harmony.

A very, very important peer-reviewed empirical study published in the academic journal Pediatrics shows that hormone treatment of young trans people decreases suicidality very significantly.

Doubtless it will be ignored by Simonoff et al, who are not even measuring this in the “Pathways” study.

DOGE did not fail in any way to accomplish its goals.

Its goals were never efficiency or saving money.

Its goals were to destroy as much of government as possible forever, and to steal data for the Space Nazi.

DOGE is fading away like bank robbery gangs fade away after the robberies are done.

EXCLUSIVE: CDC to end all monkey studies. Decision handed down by recent college grad and former DOGE employee who is now deputy chief of staff at the agency. Animals were being used in studies of HIV prevention. Some may be euthanized. My latest for @science.org
Exclusive: CDC to end all monkey research
Studies related to HIV and other infectious diseases will be phased out, sources say; fate of the agency's animals remains unclear

I was an undiagnosed autistic writer and I wanted to know more about how people worked so I could write better characters. So I started taking psychology classes and realized I loved it so much. I was already the therapist friend so I figured I could get paid for it too.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

This is an accidentally honest answer. What she's saying in code is:
"The President is a misogynist, petulant bully. You've all seen him be a misogynist, petulant bully. And lots of voters out there are also misogynist or petulant or bullies and that's why they like him."
Q: What did the president mean when he called a reporter "piggy"?

LEAVITT: Look, the president is very frank & honest with everyone in this room. You'll all seen it yourself. You've all experienced it yourselves. And I think it's one of the many reasons the American people reelected this president

i have read a good chunk of jeff bezos' writing over the years and somehow this end to the wapo editorial makes me think that he actually wrote the entire thing personally. it has jeff bezos writing vibe.
Oh, and don't forget the gratuitous shot at queer and trans communities at the very end of this screed:

The condition that prompts the diagnosis exists prior to the diagnosis. This is true of every single diagnosis; medical and psychiatric. I don't know what else to tell you.

Nope, do not do this.

Do not fetishize legality in reaction to fascist refusal to prosecute elites.

$1 billion data centre to maybe create 100 jobs. That's likely an overstatement.

It is truly not worth draining the living word for this vampiric tech and people are starting to realize it.

Just a note that the US passed landmark civil rights legislation enforcing the rights of disabled students to reasonable accommodation. This is a form of segregation. And segregationists like this also tend to believe in other forms of segregation.
A lot of education discourse is at root an inability to decide whether the purpose of our education system is to 1) teach material and measure learning 2) reward students who work hard 3) separate the smart kids (destined for smart guy jobs) from the dumb kids (destined to serve the smart guys)

The mass murder of civilians in order to maintain the economy is an ongoing moral injury that is only compounding with time and Americas inability to talk about and process grief
The necropolitics of Covid were the trigger for and normalization of the eugenic of today and the mass murder of tomorrow
Every time Covid and learning loss hits the news, people act like the only factor is folk staying home and learning online, rather than… Living through a global mass death event.
