Is there some sort of finishing school we can send audiobook narrators to so they can learn to pronounce "Dún Laoghaire" before they're allowed to record anything set in Ireland?

I don’t think firing squad is more barbaric than any other method of execution. Choosing to make it public though? Now that’s definitely a sign things are going great in this non-fascist country!

If you have seasoned professionals engaging in labor trades that is a business choice and they're probably getting tax benefits from it. If you are saying "find a young student and have them do it in exchange for food" you are suggesting that a business find someone sufficiently vulnerable.

What a surprise, the organizers of the covid cautious dyke bar hated the article, rejected its framing, and is defending their covid cautious patrons and performers. Anyone who joined in on the viral harassment campaign started by Jesse Singal wanna say oops or…? recorder.com/2026/09/24/g...

Current and former owners of Last Ditch could not be reached by phone, email or social media. However, Last Ditch did share on Instagram that the Globe story allegedly misconstrued statements from Noire, and urged community members to stop harassing Noire.
"It is neither productive, progressive, nor valiant to attack a Black patron. He has been a collaborator and performer of Last Ditch for a while, and he deserves to speak his mind about accountability and repair from the bar," the Last Ditch statement reads. "There are so many misconceptions due to the disorganization of the Globe article. He did not call for the bar to be firebombed. Further, he did not disparage the owner for being homeless.
"As a result of this abysmal journalism, he has been getting additional threats, slurs, harassment, and is being reported to the police over something he did not do," Last Ditch continued. "This is not supporting us at Last Ditch, and it is, at its core, anti-Blackness hysteria."

may I present the Trans Maximalist Manifesto:

The Trans Maximalist Manifesto

We stand accused of being politically “maximalist” in our demands upon the democrat party. We see equal rights, employment nondiscrimination, bodily autonomy, and trusting children to tell us about themselves as the absolute floor of acceptable treatment, but these are not big asks.

These are our Big Asks:

Parents will surrender the Deeds of Ownership they received for each of their children, to their children. Oh, there is no such thing? Act like it.
Healthcare workers, psych professionals, doctors, nurses, etc. – having had only a few hours of gender non-conforming, trans, and intersex health instruction (if that) – must become re-certified in trans health yearly by pulling aside any random trans person, sitting down with them, providing treats and coffee, building rapport, and humbly asking how all of this works again and taking careful notes on what they say. Trans patients can demand their providers’ recertification at will.
Since all nuclear warheads are controlled by cis individuals, we demand that at least 1% of all such devices be surrendered to trans individuals as determined by total explosive yield or number of warheads, whichever value is greater.
All sports are now co-ed. Even chess. Especially chess.
Intentional misgendering, deadnaming, etc. is now equivalent to insulting someone’s lovely mother and every reasonable person knows you will get a well-deserved beatdown for pulling that shit so knock it off.
Cis persons will have to submit a list of their kinks, a description of their masturbation techniques, and prove that they have been living as a cis person for at least two (2) years in order for their opinion about trans people to be taken seriously.

Trans rights is inherently a bodily autonomy issue. Just like abortion rights is. We can't have gender equity or reproductive freedom without trans rights. Full stop. You can yell at me and make up shit that you claim I've said if it makes you feel better. I don't care. I'm right. And you know it.

These are really important results, and *also,* with love and respect, I need to be very clear here: autism isn't reducing life expectancy. Autistic people are being killed by lack of access to preventive and primary care, by lack of income and safe housing, and ultimately by systemic ableism.
