They’re live-streaming the execution of the person they think they can get away with doing that to first. It’s a test. If they can do that, they’ll expand the margins of permission.

I used to feel this way! I was going to do some Casserole Diplomacy on behalf of my values, specifically within my family of Trumpers. Then I realized they weren't open to listening, there was no "fun part," and their "ideological bias" was hating people. So maybe not.

"As a result, formerly safe Republican districts are up for grabs. And these Republicans, like some flightless island birds facing imported rats and snakes, are flapping around in a panic, untested in one of the most basic tenets of politics: winning over a broad cross section of voters."

I recommend you stop telling trans people what they should do and start telling the politicians to advocate equal rights for everyone.

I've been buying and wearing Converse since high school in the 1980s. (Hip bone snaps.) About a month ago, I got a pair of glasses with Converse frames. They're pink and came with a free magnetic sun shade. I love them. In this spirit of decades-long brand loyalty, I ask: WTF Y'ALL

I can confirm personally. Before I transitioned to male from female fucking NOBODY would help. I was a nurse too. Now that I look male? Everyone has solutions they are happy to offer or treatment plans. My wife is going through this in reverse as a transgender woman.

Yes. I don't know if people from Texas fully understand how progressive our city governments can be. They pass progressive legislation about things like sick leave and bag bans, and the state-level GOP stomps on it like Godzilla.

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.

Today I'm going to be the one to remind you that alt text is your friend. Not just for people with low or no vision who use screen readers, but also for tired-ass people with tired-ass eyes who are just simply exhausted from everything.
A nightmare of a screenshot of an Anonymous post with their caption at the bottom and pointlessly multicolored text over the photo with poor contrast. The text on the photo says: A federal judge has just struck down the DOJ's "get-out-of-jail-free" card for Trump's sons and the Trump Organization in the $1.776 billion IRS settlement. Trump's sons could (here the text is blocked), including jail time.

A swing and a miss. I'm not a political consultant, but I don't think you're supposed to give into the "if it endangers" framing because inclusion does not endanger. I'm really disappointed. I know it's hard to thread the needle in Texas politics. Believe me. But no.

The conflicts between Canada and the US has done one very important thing. It has united us and made us even more proud of our country. We have been given an opportunity to compare ourselves to our closest neighbour. There is no mistaking we are not the same. We deserve to be proud.

He's now resorting to trying to buy the election. Federal law makes it unlawful to knowingly and willfully pay, offer to pay, or accept payment for registering to vote or for voting. (52 U.S.C. §10307(c).) Any type of incentive is considered “payment.”

I fixed myself a similar combo (no fries) last night after I got COVID and flu shots, and it was magical. The trick is to do the grilled cheese in the oven at 425. Which I guess makes it a baked or toasted cheese sandwich if you insist. MAGICAL.

Hey folks, I'm teaching an upper level doctoral seminar on mixed methods in health research and we're doing a mock CIHR-style peer review exercise. Do you have an old 10p mixed method research proposal for CIHR or NIH you'd be willing to let my students review? Funded & unfunded are both useful!

I had an idea. What if, instead of recalling contaminated food back to the production facility where it was made, we had some kind of set up where the food went through a testing process of some kind. You could perhaps have national standards or something for it

Spare a care for the "head of people" at a software acquisition company who found himself "paying my talent-acquisition professionals—who are high-paid, high-quality individuals—just to look through applications all day long.” So sad for these "high-quality individuals."

What if the unemployed people got hired in "immigration enforcement" and were...bad at our jobs? "We don't have a judicial warrant, sorry. Whoops, I slipped and touched a colleague with my Shock Gloves 3000, and now he's on the ground." The goon squad pays well, can't be offshored or automated.

You know what? Good. As a US citizen, I hate this. I want friendly relations with Canada. I want us to share stuff and cooperate. But there's no cooperating with our so-called president. It's like going to therapy with a narcissistic abuser. Take care, Canadians.

So depressing that if I log into FB now to check on older relatives and their grandbabies, I am instead inundated with medical disinformation we debunked 5 years ago. Platform governance matters. And governments can enforce laws about truth in advertising, copyright, etc. against online media.

I'm not going to be relitigating COVID lockdowns or mask mandates. Both were necessary measures that saved lives. If you cannot accept the curtailing of even the minor of freedoms in the name of public safety, you have demonstrated that you do not give a solitary fuck about the rest of us.

I was having a similar thought the other day about why AI gets the "it's the future and we all have to embrace it" line whereas renewable energy, which obviously IS the future and we're well on the way there already, is subject to "are we going too fast on Net Zero" nonsense.
