This is irresponsible. For people who can't leave, or those of us who are standing up for what's right, this encourages hopelessness and despair. Some people will give up on life permanently. And it will be because of things like this being said. It's not over by a long shot.

"it may take several days" to process an unsubscribe request has always been dumb, but the audacity to say it will take TEN DAYS to stop sending emails is quite something.

Apple's new notification summarization the other day gave me a real scare for @taylorlorenz.bsky.social (of course, her actual topic should still scare and anger us!).
Badly summarized notification: "Taylor Lorenz tortured for speaking out."Actual podcast title: "He was Tortured in an Israeli Priosn for Speaking Out"

I've got one episode left in a rewatch of Ted Lasso (Seasons 1-3) and on this rewatch, I am *loving* season 3, which I originally had mixed feelings about. The negatives aren't around as long as I thought, and there's a *lot* of highlights (Sam, Colin/Trent/Issac, Nate, Keeley/Roy/Jamie, etc).

When you'd rather have a dead kid than a queer one, allowing conversion therapy practices makes total sense. They don't want to deal with a living queer kid; they want to mourn the imaginary one they don't have.

So SCOTUS apparently is going to say a state can ban care that is recommended by every major medical organization (gender-affirming care), but can't ban care that is condemned by every major medical organization (conversion therapy). They're legally mandating/protecting medical malpractice.

He also told her to "delete this exchange" which she did not, instead turning the messages over to police. She's not being charged with a crime nor accused of wrongdoing. I cannot imagine how terrified she is, knowing her partner committed such a heinous act and many are now scapegoating her for it

No acrobatics necessary to distance “the left” from the murderer. It now appears to me that he held a vague & simplistic version of leftism to which he applied *his own* murder logic. That murder logic is his, not yours or mine. He isn’t “mine” to apologize for. I condemn as I would any murderer.

They don't call it "violent speech" when you say the government should do it. This has broken our brains. Charlie Kirk was an outspoken advocate for violence; he just wanted that violence to be enacted by the government. Memorializing him as an advocate of civil discourse is bullshit.

Political violence is abhorrent. I have not celebrated Kirk's death. But Newsom calling for his followers to "continue Charlie Kirk's work," someone who praised stoning gay people as "god's perfect law," who called for men to "take care of" trans people like they did in the 50s and 60s, is not it.

For anyone who was getting on the Newsom bandwagon… I share his disdain of political violence. But a statement that Kirk’s “work” was “good-faith debate” is exactly the kind of toxic bothsidesism Newsom is about.
