According to French government sources, it looks like Israel is bent in making that same choice for every other democracy, too - massive coordinated interference in Scottish elections probably the tip of the iceberg.

I guess the statistically average sentence about human genetics is written by a human, thus the text that Copilot cobbles together from other people's work will most likely contain similar possessive pronouns. The alternative - of a drosophila-penned text, is scarier!

The assumption is that every motor vehicle trip results in an economic transaction: either to earn money or spend money. The parallel assumption is that there is no economic value to bicycle trips. Which, of course, is nonsense.

They know that their brute force approach to the narrative is likely to be deeply unpopular. They don't care though. They want theirs to be the only game in town.

yes! I think that this is a point made frequently by trans people but not perceived by many cis people - boob jobs and tanning and microdermabrasion and fillers and what-not are all gender-affirming care, and I wonder what would be the result of more people seeing it that way

General Strike @generalstrikefov.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
Which is interesting because I bet if they said "I'd pay for all the lasses I know to have boob jobs" it would be considered a bit uncouth but probably laughed off. Gender-affirming care is highly acceptable if it shifts people's presentation in directions that are accepted, even if extreme.

Parton ("9 to 5," 1980) provides a more trenchant critique of capital than does Marx ("Das Kapital," 1867) because as a researcher, Parton correctly frames the problem of capital as exacerbating but not supplanting other pre-existing human dynamics such as gender roles. In this essay, I will
