12 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- Alberta does an end-run around human rights laws to ram through a ban on pediatric care and sports for 5 years using emergency provisions. A previous bill was stopped by courts (this one might be too). Alberta is Canada's most actively anti-trans province.

Amazon is making money off AI copies of books - and putting the onus on authors to prove they’ve been plagiarised.

Honestly, just stop buying books from Amazon. Get them from an actual bookshop or order them from a reputable book supplier like bookshop.org

The measles outbreak in South Carolina is “accelerating” with no end in sight following Thanksgiving and other large gatherings, state health officials say.

„On Sept. 3, 2024, Peterson, accompanied by his daughter and son-in-law, had an online meeting with then-advanced education minister Rajan Sawhney. . .By Oct. 8, 2024, ministry staff had already generated an evaluation of how it could accredit the Peterson Academy.“
