Paramount-owned CBS abruptly canceled a story exposing the Trump administration's brutal deportations.
The reporter called it a "political decision."
Paramount needs Trump’s backing to buy Warner Bros. — including CNN.
Is that just a coincidence?
This looks like corruption.

If she believes God does not make mistakes why is she rejecting trans people? If they believe God does not make mistakes what is up with all of the cosmetic surgery? The hair dye and Botox? When they want something on their body changed, it's "opportunity". When someone else does, it's criminal.

Benny Johnson just called for trans genocide at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest, declaring trans people to be at war with "creation itself" and calling on the FBI to "start kicking in doors" and to "round 'em up".
The entire crowd gave him a standing ovation.

1. The federal government has just attempted to enact a national trans youth care ban.
A new HHS rule would shutter most gender-affirming care for trans youth nationwide.
It violates multiple laws and the constitution, and will likely go into effect in a few months.

Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

1. In a stunning new bill proposed by several New Hampshire republicans, transgender women could be charged with trespass for using the bathroom.
The bill is the first to apply to PRIVATE businesses.
It also ONLY applies to transgender women, not trans men.

1. It would appear that in recent reporting, the BBC is now using the phrase "biological male who identifies as a woman" when they mean to talk about a transgender woman.
This is an incredibly demeaning way to talk about transgender women in news pieces.

Over the years I've come to learn that I rarely take the news of voice recasts well. I'm still upset over the whole Pokémon anime cast being replaced in 2006. I can't play Persona 3 Reload with the new dub cast. And now I'm mourning the loss of Phoenix Wright's old voice in Ace Attorney Trilogy.

Have you tried...
AI peas?

Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
