"Olympic chiefs are also looking at prohibiting athletes with DSD (differences of sex development) from women's events given testosterone advantages."

I warned so many folks about this, and several people in my life didn't listen. I called it, ffs. So many women are going to be disqualified.

reminder that when the IOC did a study on this exact topic the result was 'there's no difference really in fact sometimes they actually have a disadvantage to cis women'

iirc 1 trans woman has qualified for the Olympics in over 20 years and she came last

honestly the timing makes it seem like they shut down the government to get the base energized for the election, and then pulled the rug out underneath them once they got the wins they wanted and think that people won't remember this in a year.

Please understand that Americans who have a serious chronic illness essentially have no where to run to.

(The immigration rules of countries with the kind of health care system it takes to keep me alive deny me admission because I'm seriously chronically ill, and, therefore, a 'drain on resources')

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

The cheapest plan available to me (a Georgian) is over $1,000 a month. Healthcare is no longer an option for me. I will ration the medication I take for as long as I can and then I will wait to die.

Calling the Democrats “cowards” suggests that they're scared to do what's right when they show no fervent interest in being an opposition. They're largely colluders, not cowards. Many want their base to think they're cowards to maintain investment in the idea that they can be pushed to do better.

I think a number of press outlets badly want there to be a groundswell of anti-trans feeling, because the ownership/senior editorial of those papers have absolutely cooked their own brains on transphobia. It seems to be largely an elite psychosis!

Such a gross perversion of what the party should have stood for

Labour has been the only real opposition to conservatism in the UK for decades, and Labour MPs have overwhelmingly become Landlords themselves: a position traditionally held by their opposition... and now they have the same beliefs as the people they once believed greedy.

This isn’t Facebook.

Lawless as in there are fuck-all practical measure that do anything to keep in check the swarms of bigots who doxx and harass minorities they hate. So excuse us for not wanting our faces and names plastered everywhere, not gonna do their work for them if we ever become a target.

“What was once a reliable, repeatable pillar of her life was ripped away from her, first because she felt like an outlier among her peers, and then..the powers that be took away her right to be on the team.” The government has “targeted the fundamental social pillars upholding trans lives”. so cruel

Once again banging the drum that Grainger v Nicholson was an utter disaster and that the criteria for highlighting what constitutes a protected philosophical belief was always going to be weaponised.

We've seen it with racism, we've seen it with transphobia, and now Islamophobia.

Oh they’ll be quite happy with that

don't remember if I've mentioned this before. tell anyone you see using Google to do this.

hiding "actually do what I asked" is another expression of the paternalistic techbro mindset that gives you "yes" or "not now" options for an unwanted new feature or only lets you hide something "for a while"

Paramount Has Blacklist for Stars Deemed “Overtly Antisemitic” — World of Reel It sure looks like the likes of Javier Bardem, Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, and Mark Ruffalo won’t be making movies for Paramount in the foreseeable future.

Under new head of Paramount David Ellison, the studio has drawn up a list of actors who opposed the Gaza genocide and will not allow them to appear in its films and TV shows.

Does this sound familiar?

Also, "Ellison is reportedly aiming to take over Warner Bros. next."

I think the main story being just so uninteresting is a real detractor for a lot of people. A game can have all the side content in the world, but for a lot of people (myself included) the main story is a glue that binds the whole experience together. If it’s too weak then the whole thing unravels.

They invented robopedos

Stand-off over £800,000 Your Party funds held by Zarah Sultana Your Party officials accuse Zarah Sultana of withholding funds despite publicly agreeing to transfer the money.

Again, whatever the truth is, it’s a shit snow and the lack of transparency is there or all to see, she should have left when she accused them of being a sexist boys club - no one credible believes anything any of them say anymore

I mean. None of my friends or the people I watch play games are right wingers, and the average opinion I’ve heard from most people is it’s just not that much fun. I don’t think it’s much more complicated than that. Maybe they’ve updated it since launch, but it doesn’t interest me so idk.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

It all comes full circle. An utterly rancid circle.

‘Biological pronouns’, now part of a decision in the US courts, was workshopped in plain sight by British GCs. British GCs have been ascendant in large part due to US funding of their associated fake charities and activist orgs.

Transphobia is an organised, international war effort.

New York Times snippet: A Decade Later, Supreme Court is Asked to Revisit Same-Sex Marriage Decision; Kim Davis, a Kentucky county clerk once jailed for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses, has asked the court to reconsider its landmark 2015 opinion. 6 minute read

I know this is pedantic, but Kim Davis was not "jailed for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses." She was jailed for contempt of court because she refused to follow a court order (she had stopped issuing all marriage licenses). NYT makes it sound like the Woke Police broke down her door.

Well Labour does know everything about being disappointing and letting people down eyyoo

I think it’s just a creative form of lying - she’s definitely familiar with at least the outline of who he is and his politics, she’s just feigning ignorance because a stomping victory of a democratic socialist being highlighted too much is politically inconvenient.
