One of the worst parts of "all of this" is that anytime someone reposts an article, we have to see his fucking face. Again. Plus continuous regular doses of those other rotting-faces.
Maybe, publications, leave the photos out. We all know exactly what they look like, down to the pore, already. 😫

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.
We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

I disagree, Larian is being made an example out of, it’s like putting a head on a pike. The message? “We don’t care if you made BG3. We will not forgive any use of AI”
ragging on a top game studio for using LLM placeholder text is maybe not the most efficient use of time with all the fires currently burning

Well! I, or rather my body, remembers all the ukemi practice I did back in the day. Tripped on an uneven sidewalk paver and, were it not for my rusty reflexes, I would have faceplanted my full weight into the concrete. Only reason I'm not in the hospital right now is that my body rolled on its own.

Ronald Reagan let 100,000 gay men die of AIDS rather than acknowledge the epidemic and do literally anything to stop it. Fuck him and fuck you.
Never ever gonna be president and you should stop now.

The presidency once served as a reminder of our common humanity. Ronald Reagan described its purpose as building "a nation composed of good and decent people."

Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison.
Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.
