A note about the Queensland government's ban on puberty blockers.

It's still just a ban on the state's *public* health system providing these. It's still legal to see a doctor privately for these. Locally or interstate.

We can crowdfund this care for the kids who can't afford it.

[Rage against the media]

I'm so sick of them hiding behind the concept of fairness. As if it's fair for people to be expected to […]

Appalled to see Australian politicians wearing Israeli flags on lapels today, or any day. Mourning the tragic loss of Jewish Australians is one thing, but publicly supporting Zionism is entirely another. We must not conflate antisemitism with support for a genocidal nation such as Israel […]

Zohran is expanding the number of public toilets in NYC and improving how the existing ones are cleaned and maintained.

If this is a big enough initiative it will have a huge impact on quality of life for new yorkers. I don't know if it is big enough. Nonetheless *this* is the way to address […]

X, formerly known as Twitter, is a machine that automates the mass-production of CSAM. Its Generative AI chatbot, Grok, is being used to produce non-consensual sexually-explicit images of children. The people who run Twitter know it, and appear to be fine with that […]

#australia ABC breathlessly reporting on the Venezuela action as 'capturing' Maduro and not 'kidnapping' or 'abduction'.

And the 'toppling of the Maduro regime' while the govt remains firmly intact.

The reflexive pro-US obedience, and obvious partisan bias is disturbing.

United States midterm election is only five months away. Trump should be starting an election campaign now, but he's starting a war campaign.

Trump knows the House of Representatives will flip hard to the Democrats, and enough of the Senate is up for grabs that he'll lose control of it, too. A […]

This is extraordinary. As deranged as this military operation […]
