Homosexuality never really had the religious stigma in Japan that it did elsewhere, meaning that anti-gay sentiment, when it happens, is mostly pure politics

Also forced medication, ie hormone therapy, because of a presumed lack of low level of whatever the appropriate major hormone is. Which will mean someone will possibly end up having to be on that treatment for the rest of their life. Ask me how l know.

This is just a rape joke. These laws and programs are state sanctioned systemic rape, torture, and sexual abuse. They correctly rape MINORS. They torture MINORS. These laws and conversion therapy programs are not remotely funny “State enforced handjobs” on largely minors who CANNOT CONSENT
State-enforced handjobs.

I know people don’t mean harm, but asking how they’ll enforce it is obtuse. Corrective rape. That’s how they enforce it. The camp I was almost sent to did corrective rape and corrective sexual assault. Some people didn’t get lucky like I did to have a father who stopped me from being sent there

Conversion therapy in the west also includes asexuality. This isn’t a first nor will it be a last, so this isn’t shocking. High control religious people may be prudes, but they also want you to feel ashamed for your sexual attraction. If you lack one, then they view you as incomplete or inhuman

for as long as i've been alive, republicans have ran the same playbook: a few weeks before voting begins, they roll out completely fabricated smear campaigns. these things are always coordinated, so the talking points take over the news. the party is never electorally punished for their dishonesty.

Most of our highways were in fact designed for greater speed, and many suburban streets are too, then given a low (safer) speed limit drivers do not adhere to because psychologically they know the road can handle more. Killed By a Traffic Engineer is a great book people should read!

I'm taking my "Norway's wealth tax didn't reduce tax revenue" victory lap.
Whether imposing higher taxes on business owners adversely affects business activity by constraining investment and inducing capitalist flight is a central question in the ongoing debate on how to tax the ultra wealthy. To shed new light, I exploit a series of related Norwegian reforms during 2021–2024 that increased dividend tax rates, removed migration-related capital gains tax loopholes, and nearly doubled the effective marginal tax rate on business wealth. These reforms spurred international debate and, allegedly, an “exodus” of Norwegian billionaires (Financial Times, 2023). While I document clear effects on migration, these responses are concentrated among the top 0.1% of the wealth distribution and mostly confined to 2022 and 2023. My results indicate that at most 100 individuals left due to the reforms. I find no evidence of significant outmigration or reduced inflows of startup founders or inventors. I estimate that absent any outmigration, wealth tax revenues would have increased by 75% from 2021 to 2024. Reform-driven outmigration lowers the revenue gain to 71.5%. My findings further show that outmigrating owners’ firms remain economically active and do not reduce investment. In a broader set of analyses, I examine whether business outcomes are affected, regardless of whether owners outmigrate, since firms may reduce investment both due to liquidity constraints or distortions to owners’ savings decisions. I compare firms owned by Norwegian individuals subject to the wealth tax with firms owned by foreigners and other tax-exempt entities. By merging historical ownership data from Orbis with the Norwegian shareholder register, I perform these analyses on both Norwegian and foreign-domiciled firms. Across settings, I find no evidence that Norwegian-owned firms pay out more dividends or invest less after the reforms, nor is there any evidence that the reform induced more bankruptcies. ...

Well folks it happened: a U.S. district court has ruled that Americans no longer have to go through the ATF and register to acquire short-barreled rifles, shotguns or suppressors. This is a massive change to gun laws in this country and also...not likely to change much. I'll explain.
Although the district court’s injunction applies only to plaintiffs and certain other specified 
persons, the Department has determined to exercise its enforcement discretion to create greater 
uniformity, consistent with the Attorney General’s statement today. Consequently, effective 
October 9, 2026, ATF will no longer require individuals to seek ATF approval under the NFA 
before making or transferring short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, silencers, and “any 
other weapon[s]” as defined in 26 U.S.C. § 5845(e). ATF will also no longer require such items 
to be registered in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record. These policies apply 
uniformly to anyone otherwise subject to these requirements, not just to the plaintiffs in the 
litigation

Reminder that "Christian Nationalist" is not just shorthand for "asshole who calls himself a Christian." The same way "Nazi" is not a loaded word for "bully." "Death cult" is similarly literal. We aren't taunting. We literally mean it as an objective description and/or paraphrase of their own words.
