#flexmark seems sadly to have fallen moribund, but it's also depending on features of its forked parser than the OG #commonmark #java doesn't have. because you need contextual awareness. Seeing what I can do with SourceSpans but it might need to be a PostProcessor instead.

if i had to find a positive thing to say about him, i suppose i might say that, unlike many of his peer group, we don't especially worry about where those hands might wander off to.
that's it. that's all i got. you can tell me why i'm wrong now. 😉

the reactionaries get it because they ultimately defined it, but liberals have deluded themselves into thinking being straight means purely that you're attracted to the opposite sex. they cannot conceive of the systems they are trapped in, to them it is immutable universal law like gravity.

they can't. it would criminalise what Streeting's doing to trans kids in the NHS. and for some reason he must be given everything that he wants.
seems this should be a line of attack. why not conversion practices bill? streeting. nhs practice right now.

i credit them with less good faith than that. i think they're trying to wear you down, to make you averse to reporting the stuff they don't like. so i was more serious about the ignoring them bit than the telling them to sod off bit. 😀 let them cry into the void.

tbh the most tedious thing about Controversy Corner is the eternal efforts to be diplomatic to the ones complaining you're reporting on the administration being corrupt fascist shits (as it pertains to Apple which is extremely restrained IMHO). tell 'em to sod off once then ignore them forever. 😉

my understanding is the debate is on whether they're *alive*. but they're definitely a hugely important part of Earth biology; transmissible packets of DNA. they have to co-opt a living cell to "live" but surely they're "biological".

yeah, it seems to me it doesn't *give* them legitimacy. They're just stealing it anyway because they have the megaphone.

it's exactly the sort of thing that's made me stop trusting them, in particular the BBC, on *everything*. I *know* they're lying about us. Who else are they lying about?

Your colleague Labour MP Joani Reid just described trans people as a 'virus'.
Because she was upset that a vexatious case brought by a racist, transphobic nurse didn't go her way.
Tell me again about Labour's 'progressive policies'.
