1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

This is a dumb idea and muddies the waters of the classification system. Whats next, Tylenol because some people believe it causes autism?
Scheduling mifepristone largely invalidates the point of the schedule.
Ostensibly, the schedule is meant to monitor drugs *which have the ability to form physical dependence*.
This step makes the schedule a list of drugs that lawmakers dislike for feelings reasons.

1/ Today, ProPublica is running a piece I've been working on for a bit. It's about what happened with a devastating wave of bird flu earlier this year, as egg prices hit record highs.
And it's a story that illuminates the ways the U.S. is failing to control what could become the next pandemic. 🧵

“AI” is a virus infecting everything!
If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

If one takes every released commander that's legal and printed in paper and sorts them by date of first printing, the midpoint in this set falls...
In the multicolored legends of Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate, which was only released in 2022.
I'm not sure how to feel about that, tbh.
