Depriving veterans of access to reproductive health care is nothing more than cruel and a blatant assault on their freedoms.
Our veterans deserve access to the full spectrum of health care — including abortion care and counseling.

Men use generative AI more than women (50% vs 37%).
Beware when a population that has outsized power relative to their outgroup (men, billionaires, etc.) flocks to something en masse. It’s about to be used to further disempower others.

AI boosters are fine with this. They're fine with the child porn, they're fine with the fascist slop, they're fine with the environmental damage and the unprecedented theft.
They're fine with all of it, because reading and writing their own emails is just too hard.

Yeah, there have been enough mass shootings in the USA now that I think it's a version of the "shared birthday" paradox. Even though each instance is still relatively rare at an individual level, at a certain threshold it becomes likely against common sense.

I didn’t want to overreact, and took time to read this. Having done so, I’m adding Northwestern to the list of places I won’t visit or speak. The concessions re: international students and gender-affirming care are not merely symbolic.
Here’s the text of the Northwestern settlement with the DoJ, which includes a $75 million financial component / payoff (cc @profmarkovic.bsky.social):

So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.
