Anine is one of the people who worked to expose the research misconduct against trans people at Oslo University Hospital. Yesterday, she was told she is no longer on their waitlist to receive gender-affirming care. This is so obviously retaliatory, it's hard to put into words!

One of the reasons public opinion on trans health care is where it is is because a lot of cis people will never ever believe just how corrupt the professional medical class running our health care really is.

MASSIVE TRIGGER WARNING: Sexual assault She heard him mumble something like, "-ic bitch, not a very good fuck," which her mind filled in as "Democratic bitch," she recalled. Men have no idea how angry we are. I hope she’s elected in a landslide. 👇
It was just after 2 a.m. on a pitch-black Friday morning when Bernadette Greene-Placentia's life changed. The Democratic candidate for
Congressional District 8 strolled across a parking lot to repair a damaged campaign sign. It was a routine she'd followed all summer. This time, she only made it a few yards.
An attacker smashed her over the head. She blacked out. She woke up to find a strange man on top of her.Greene-Placentia struggled to open her eyes. She felt a sharp pain below her waist. The attacker was pulling his penis out of her.
She heard him mumble something like,
"-ic bitch, not a very good fuck," which her mind filled in as "Democratic bitch," she recalled. She wasn't sure that was exactly what he said.She believes she could have suffered a concussion during the altercation, which would have been her third one, although she didn't seek medical attention. "I just wanted to forget it," she said. Her body was covered with bruises from the assault, including dime-sized ones from fingers and more on the back of her arms and above her butt.When Placentia called, she was in the bath multiple times and was "being nauseous on the phone," he said.
According to the police report, Greene-Placentia vaginally bled for three days after the assault.

I finally got to talk to my kooky old dad today & he was remembering an elderly neighbor. It reminded me that she's the main reason why CPS didn't send me & my sisters to foster care. *That* reminded me that a single person taking action can change lives. It's a good reason to keep on keeping on.

They are becoming more and more explicit that creating dossiers on you and graphing your relationships is the whole point. “Agents” indeed. www.cnbc.com/2026/10/07/m...
Former Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer is taking a try-before-you-buy approach with her new photo-centric AI agent startup Dazzle, a tactic she said is important “for those occasional users or those users who are just trying to see what the service can do at the very beginning.”

Dazzle analyzes users’ personal photos to understand aspects of their lives, such as their family members or interests, and then can take actions like reminding someone that a pair of shoes they recently looked up is on sale online.

It’s a strategy she learned from her early tenure at Google
, before the company built its market-leading online ad platform.

The LAPD union is spending millions to defeat a half cent sales tax that would fund firefighters www.latimes.com/california/s...
The Los Angeles Police Department's officer union said Tuesday it will oppose Measure FD, the half-cent sales tax measure on the Nov. 3 ballot pushed by the city firefighters' union - setting up a bitter and expensive clash between two of the city's most powerful unions.
The Police Protective League said it plans to spend several million dollars on broadcast and digital advertising as well as mailers to oppose Measure FD, which if approved by voters would direct hundreds of millions of dollars annually to the Fire Department to build new stations, hire firefighters and upgrade

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.
