My fav Shakespeare thing is how Henry IV part 2 starts with Majel Barrett Roddenberry saying, "Previously on Henry IV..." and there's a clip reel ending with Hotspur yelling "FIRE EVERYTHING WE'VE GOT."
Then Majel's voice: "And now, the conclusion."

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.

The Trump administration inherited an economy that the Economist called "the envy of the world" in a cover story a week before the election and easily could've coasted on that success (again) but instead they set it on fire.

It sure would be handy to have some way for the government to buy this surplus up, putting money in farmers pockets, minimally process it, pack it up in bags covered with Stars and Stripes, and use it to feed those most at risk of hunger at home and abroad, huh?

Wisconsin grain elevators are running out of room for this year's corn crop
Wisconsin farmers had a great growing year for crops. That has led to actual mountains of corn at grain elevators around the state.

It’s perplexing that the BBC is currently under scrutiny for a supposed liberal bias in favour of trans rights.
Here, a spokesperson for an anti-trans group is quoted, the article says that trans inclusion would be illegal (it wouldn’t) and lists an anti-trans organisation for more info.
