Today I did what nobody else was brave enough to do: write about a positive memory of the Western Mass COVID-conscious lesbian bar, a place I’ve actually been to because I actually live here www.annatations.com/theyre-laugh...

They're Laughing At Us

On Last Ditch Bar (a place I've actually been to) and the horror of being queer in public.

Don't watch the new Harry Potter series. Not even if you plan on keeping your HBO subscription because of other movies and shows on the platform. Not even if you pirate it. Do not watch it.

There’s such an easy answer to this “gotcha” question and it’s “Sports are inherently unsafe and unfair and it’s ridiculous to single out trans athletes when we allow 150 pound linebackers to go up against 260 pound linemen in freshman football on a daily basis. Let kids play with their friends.”

New: We found 50 cops who misused Flock cameras and other license-plate readers for personal purposes, often to spy on their girlfriends or ex-wives. He "watched every single move I made. ... Who do you turn the chief of police in to?" wapo.st/3S6rTuo

She left her ex. He secretly tracked her through a network of policing cameras.

Flock’s array of license-plate cameras was built to fight crime. But at least 50 law enforcement officers were charged with or accused of misusing it and other systems.

A strange and confusing tale from the bowels of (where else) the New York Times. Has the American Medical Association changed position on trans youth care? A New York Times headline says they "endorsed restrictions" on youth surgeries. Other outlets, including NPR, report they did no such thing.

Did the AMA Release a Statement Cooling Support for Trans Youth Surgeries? — Assigned

Leading Off: The New York Times and NPR release contradictory American Medical Association statements, and California AG Rob Bonta sues a children’s hospital for ending gender affirming care.

Great story by my colleagues on the constant political realignment of Grok, the generative AI chatbot over on the other site. This change to Grok’s answer about the greatest threat to Western civilization is particularly ironic/meta. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/t...

Grok used to say that misinformation and disinformation were greatest threat to Western civilization. Elon Musk changed the answer to something more in line with his personal views: “demographic collapse.”
