Still pseudonymous for work reasons.
Regulation, justice, climate - are among things I work on.
Science fiction, Baroque music, Frank Zappa are things I don't work on and enjoy very much.

The incident of this type that sticks out in my mind are the several times in - I wanna say Hangzhou or Nanjing (maybe both) - that some park/mall rent-a-cops made a huge stink and detained groups of 20-sthing cosplayers for "Dressing Japanese."
They were wearing hanfu.

It's been going in the same "weird hyper nationalist direction" for years and years. This is a shocking incident, but at the same time it's really nothing new. Every now and again, something insane at this level will occur.

À deux doigts de proposer à @wikipediafr.bsky.social de créer la page "cette journaliste" (sur le modèle de la page "une femme"), renvoyant vers celle de Fedorova.

Here’s an unedited picture I just took of my asymmetrical, 45-year-old face with no makeup and weird lighting.

Wellness grifters need to be called out and shut down because they do actual, real harm to anyone who pays them for their “wisdom”
This guy claims ADHD doesn’t exist and if you have arthritis? It’s self-inflicted
He also claims he has a PhD in philosophy. I challenged that immediately
