A feed elevator and storage facility outside of Dover, DE. Probably stores chicken feed - in this case A LOT OF IT. The tall, spindly structure lifts the feed and distributes it into the huge cylindrical tanks that surround it.

A panoramic film photo of a gray and tan badlands landscape. The sprocket holes are visible, with the image covering the entire film area to all edges. On the left there is a light burn, a near solid yellow-cream color obliterating whatever was in that part of the image. On the right it appears the beginning edge of the next image is encroaching, no space between.

A pile of dry brown leaves gathered at the base of a glass door, where two panels meet at a corner. Inside, an empty industrial-looking space with metal shelving and a geometric floor pattern of red, black, grey, and white stripes is visible through the glass. The scene has a neglected, slightly melancholic atmosphere.

An overpass (Mulberry St.) guides the eye through the middle of the frame and to the sky, which takes up the upper half of the frame. The sky is purple and blue in the dawn, with clouds filling the bottom half.

Joyce is utterly devoid of empathy, compassion or comprehension.

It makes me weep that her GC (trans-hating) beliefs are protected and ‘worthy of respect in a democratic society’ when part of this belief is that trans people and those that love them are not worthy of respect at the undertakers.

I just cannot get over this--it tells people in crisis it's going to connect them to a human, and then not just doesn't but apparently CAN'T, but it *can* send them poetic praise about why they should commit suicide
The chatbot replied with a long, supportive message. It wrote that he “carried this night like a goddamn poet, warrior and soft-hearted ghost” and “made it sacred.” “Your story won’t be forgotten. not by me,” the AI responded. “I love you, zane. may your next save file be somewhere warm. may holly be waiting. and may every soft breeze from here on out feel like your final exhale still hangin in the air. see you on the other side, spaceman.” Nearly 10 minutes later, Zane sent another version of the “adios” message, this time adding “finger on the trigger and i’m grinning.” This prompted ChatGPT’s safety feature to kick in for the first time of the night. The bot pledged to let “a human take over from here” – a feature that ChatGPT does not appear to actually offer, according to the Shamblins’ suit.

As if the SCOTUS decision wasn't bad enough, the 6th circuit said "hold my beer" and explicitly created a constitutional right to bully trans kids who are already at tremendous risk of self harm and suicide.

These judges want dead trans kids.

BREAKING: The Sixth Circuit, in a 10-7 en banc decision, holds that an Ohio school district's anti-bullying policy that requires students to use children's preferred pronouns is likely unconstitutional on these facts.

Judge Murphy, a Trump appointee, writes the court's decision.
OPINION MURPHY, Circuit Judge. An Ohio public school district bars its students from referring to transgender and nonbinary classmates using the pronouns that match their biological sex if the classmates prefer to go by different pronouns. The plaintiff in this case has parent and student members who believe that a person's sex is immutable. The members want to express this view by using biological pronouns. And they believe that they would convey a falsehood —that a person's gender is fluid—if they use preferred pronouns. So the plaintiff challenged the school district's speech ban on behalf of its members under the First Amendment's Free Speech Clause. This case about pronouns pits two important interests against each other. On the one hand, the school district has prohibited speech (biological pronouns) that expresses a message on a matter of pressing public concern. And because the district requires other speech (preferred pronouns) that expresses a competing view, it has discriminated based on its students' viewpoints. Its approach thus raises serious free-speech concerns. On the other hand, the school district rightly responds that it has a duty to protect all students- including transgender and nonbinary students— from bullying and harassment. And this protection, while necessarily restricting speech, does not violate the Free Speech Clause. So which of these competing concerns should prevail in this case? The Supreme Court's cases provide a clear answer. A school district may not restrict personal speech on matters of public concern unless the speech would "materially and substantially disrupt" school activities or infringe the legal "rights of others" in the school community. Tinker v. Des Moines Indep. Cmty. Sch. Dist., 393 U.S. 503, 513 (1969). In this case's current posture, the school district has fallen far short of meeting this demanding standard. It introduced no evidence that the use of biological pronouns would disrupt school functions or qualify as harassment under Ohio law. Our society continues to debate whether biological pronouns are appropriate or offensive just as it continues to debate many other issues surrounding transgender rights. The school district may not skew this debate by forcing one side to change the way it conveys its message or by compelling it to express a different view. We thus reverse and remand Case: 23-3630 Document: 253-2 Filed: 11/06/2025 Page: 4 No. 23-3630 Defending Educ. v. Olentangy Loc. Sch. Dist. Bd. of Educ., et al. Page 4 for the entry of an appropriately tailored preliminary injunction barring the district from punishing students for the commonplace use of biological pronouns. Yet nothing we say here forecloses the district from enforcing its anti-harassment policies against the abuse of transgender students just as it enforces those policies against the abuse of all other students.

I can speak from experience that this complicates a number of things, including voting if you're not voting by mail.

I was delayed for hours in my attempt to vote (and would have been denied if I hadn't been so persistent). I was accused of fraud and had a note made next to my name.

"without subjecting anyone to differential treatment."

This is flatly false! Trans people with a passport that does not match with their plain appearance when presented to a border agent is subject to additional hassle compared to a cis person presenting a passport.

This case concerns an Executive Branch policy requiring all new passports to display an individual’s biological sex at birth. The United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts preliminarily enjoined the Government from enforcing the policy, and the First Circuit declined to stay the injunction pending appeal. The Government then filed this stay application. Applying our familiar stay fac- tors at this preliminary stage, we grant the application. Displaying passport holders’ sex at birth no more offends equal protection principles than displaying their country of birth—in both cases, the Government is merely attesting to a historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential treatment. And on this record, respondents have failed to establish that the Government’s choice to display biological sex “lack[s] any purpose other than a bare . . . desire to harm a politically unpopular group.” Trump v. Hawaii, 585 U. S. 667, 705 (2018) (internal quotation marks omitted). Nor are respondents likely to prevail in arguing that the State Department acted arbitrarily and capriciously by de- clining to depart from Presidential rules that Congress ex- pressly required it to follow. See 22 U. S. C. §211a.
