So proud! In response to Bluesky's post about the new logo, I replied "Consider it to be a transification." Too radical, I guess, they deleted it.

Oops! After banning gender-affirming care in 2023, Utah also commissioned a study about the outcomes of such care. Guess what? Scientific processes are so inconvenient! www.intomore.com/culture/utah...

What if the 'Tesla Takedown' Is Only the Beginning? — Streetsblog USA
Tesla's cars have become symbols of Elon Musk's controversial role in U.S. politics — but they're also instruments of a violent system that long predates his time in the White House.

Many articles about the Toronto crash say the airplane "flipped" upside down. That may get lots of clicks but, sorry, the plane "rolled over" while traveling along the runway. See the video.

There's about 500 English words that start with trans. If you hyphenate all such words in your ordinary writing, then perhaps you'll be wasting the time of computer programs that are looking for targets.
