uhhhhh
 investigation was originally developed for The New York Times, where it underwent eight months of editing, multiple rounds of fact-checking, and independent replication of the underlying methodology. The piece had a scheduled publication date when requests for comment were sent. It was only after the Times reached out to the subjects of the investigation for routine comment that the Elias Law Group, representing the DCCC and DSCC, sent a cease-and-desist letter demanding the paper not publish. Although the paper's fact-checkers and legal department later cleared the piece before sending out a second round of requests for comment, the Times ultimately decided to kill the piece.3:27

The piece was subsequently slated for publication at The Bulwark, where it underwent additional fact-checking, data verification, and legal review. When requests for comment were sent to the subjects of the investigation, lawyers representing the Progressive Turnout Project and Mothership Strategies likewise responded with legal letters demanding that the article not run.
From there, publication was repeatedly delayed. The piece cleared successive rounds of legal review. When I asked for a committed publication date after months of delay, The Bulwark conditioned publication on my accepting an extensive rewrite prepared by its editors that, in my assessment, removed key empirical findings without explanation, introduced claims contradicted by the data and fact-checking record, and presented the subjects' legal defenses as my own conclusions. When I declined to publish under those terms, the piece was released back to me.

Reminder: Erika Christaki is the woman who denied the at the time recent history of racism, black face, and minstrelsy being done on campus by Yale students, calling it "little bit obnoxious, (and) a little bit inappropriate".

"Muslims despise trans and gay people" Hi hello I'm a trans woman working a blue collar job alongside literally hundreds of people, most of them migrants, many of them Muslim. Some of my best friends are Muslim. If anything I find our shared experiences of marginalization bring us together.

IIRC Obsidian grinded out New Vegas on a very quick turnaround (18 months?) but they were able to rely on a host of Fallout 3 assets and could focus on writing. If Microsoft wants this out fast and another Fallout hasn't been in recent development than this is either a 6 year death March or its DOA

She seems to be living how a normal person who you give a billion dollars to would live (i.e. spending the money and doing something with it) Whereas people who actually made billions of dollars got that way through being obsessive tax evading hoarders, and they can't live any other way.

The myth underlying this is that trans people (trans women specifically) were ever "invisible." We were objects of fascination, scorn, mockery, and fetishizing long before 2014 (for about the entire history of mass media really). What really broke a lot of brains was the idea we deserved dignity

I'm guessing that would mean doing another round of private equity funding, but from what I read those are in dire straits of hormuz right now (mostly from already holding up the bubble lol)

And I'm not saying you can't upgrade the grid to accomodate for that, in fact we should, but what I am saying is that "Europeans don't like AC" is navel gazing American thinking. The extra natural gas and oil we'll have to burn to make this solution work is going to kill us all even faster.

M4-Y4 @cixi.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
Yes because everyone has it over there. Here that isn't the case, so unless you're proposing Universal Basic Airconditionning, the people who buy AC will spare themselves and those who don't will die faster. Not to mention this would also place a lot of extra demand on energy infrastructure.

M4-Y4 @cixi.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
We typically live in much higher density then y'all. AC is fine if you live in individual housing. Which most people do not.

M4-Y4 @cixi.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
There are good reasons to be averse to promoting individual solutions such as AC. One person in an apartment block with AC makes it worse for everyone around them that doesn't have one. The hot air they spew makes the outside even worse, contributing to the heat island effect.

Being wealthy isolates you from the world, and hanging out with other isolated rich freaks radicalizes people into fearing for their life upon seeing any homeless person, and building bunkers in New Zealand.

From what I can dig up, Sassafras is not banned in the UK, but heavily regulated. In the EU it seems Sassafras is completely banned, due to the potential carcinogenic effects of safrole.

M4-Y4 @cixi.bsky.social · 16/06/2026
Which country. It might not be an EU regulation. Can't get it in France that's for sure (I wish)

Also in Europe we can't get root beer on the off chance it's done wrong and kills you. Something being banned here is not a de facto marker of real health risks.

Starlink is great tech but it's a dead end and unprofitable long term. Radio waves are imprecise so you can't have too many dishes in one area. Plus 20% of satellites have to be replaced a year, meaning a growing number of launches are just maintenance of the service and thus a growing cost.
