I wonder who’s doing that, Rubio

“The world is changing very fast right in front of us.”

i would have been classed as a “gender questioning” back then, i knew i wasn’t a boy before i finished primary school. but also i didn’t know anything about being trans until i was a teen - because of Section 28. it took me ~30 years to come out.
this is state torture.

The children who are being talked about, when the phrase 'gender questioning children' is used, are very very often, trans children.
The UK school policy for 'gender questioning children' is impacting on trans children.
The efforts to push 'desistance' are being pushed onto trans children.

It’s very interesting to me how there’s putatively lefty/progressive/liberal people who are very very bigoted
And, when push comes to shove, protect their bigotry first
An example is when they blamed brown and Black Muslims in Dearborn MI for Trump winning when white people carried the fascist win

i think it is a massive fucking problem that the first best use for LLMs was to cheat in school
Ill be clear about why I am so angry and critical about it: Im seeing a good portion of my students who have imbibed the notion that they dont have to read, think or write for themselves because ChatGPT/CoPilot will do their thinking for them, and its terrifying. It should scare all of us.

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

"Some were as young as 13, and at least half of those taken in so far became pregnant as a result of rape, sources said."
The Trump administration is incarcerating migrant girls in, essentially, a forced pregnancy camp.
Trump administration is sending pregnant migrant girls to South Texas shelter flagged as medically inadequate
Government sources and advocates for the children worry the goal is to concentrate them in Texas, where abortion is banned.

Yikes. This Olympics is so messy. Theres the Norwegian skier who admitted to cheating on his partner just after medaling, and the French biathlon woman who won gold but apparently nearly got kicked off the team for stealing her teammates credit card numbers. 😬😬😬
for those of you who don’t know, the French team is made up of an emotional abuser and a woman who actively defends her rapist boyfriend
they are dreadful and nobody should celebrate this medal

The Dems are losers at being the opposition and it shows that our “democracy” has been, at best, a Lee Kuan Yew capitalist dictatorship the entire time, play-acting at democracy via electoral proceduralism
I know this seems like it should be impossible, but both of these statements are true: Trump's judicial nominees all refuse to denounce the January 6 insurrection or say that he lost the 2020 election, and ALSO, some Senate Dems keep voting to confirm those nominees to life-tenured judgeships
Why Are Senate Democrats Still Voting to Confirm Trump’s Judicial Nominees?
Democrats on the Judiciary Committee keep decrying Trump nominees as unqualified extremists. They also keep voting to confirm them.
