Many of the firms that benefited from the leniency had financial ties to the Trump family.
The SEC is no longer pursuing any cases against crypto firms with Trump ties.

This is the Texas state Capitol. They still let in trans women with ids that matches their gender identity. So this isn't even keeping trans women out. These things are completely unenforceable except through fear.

man, finding out stellan skarsgård did that level of acting through a fucking stroke, now that's acting (aside from taking time off being more appropriate)
![a tweet from star wars holocron, featuring a picture of stellan skarsgård below in character running his hand through his hair and it looking like he's trying to hear
Stellan Skarsgård reveals he had to wear an earpiece that fed him his lines for ANDOR Season 2 after he had a stroke
“I didn’t know how to handle this [earpiece] thing… To me, rhythm is very important in a scene, right? The guy talking in my ear must not interrupt my rhythm. He has to help me in that way. So I have to hear the other person saying my cue and he has to, over that, [say the line] very fast and very clear without emotion, say the line. And then I can answer in the right rhythm and get my rhythm. So that was complicated.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cxi7yxacplmautg7qmjal6ea/bafkreie3arque66y7ar2kborshjncxtvhqaxoqlm7frbxmbw3hljlj6mry@jpeg)
