The entire summary paragraph is highlighted in yellow, reading: "The definition of a “health care provider” in subsection 161.701(2) of the Health and Safety Code unambiguously encompasses the professions regulated by the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council. Any licensee that facilitates the provision of unlawful procedures or treatments that aim to transition a child’s sex are thus forbidden from receiving public money in support of those efforts and, separately, risk revocation of their licenses to practice."

Texas AG Ken Paxton has declared that it is illegal for mental health providers and therapists to treat trans youth. It means that trans youth will be denied access to any mental healthcare that isn't conversion therapy. Paxton also threatens parents of trans youth with child abuse investigations.

AI is incapable of understanding the human emotion of art. It cannot understand how words impact these human emotions.

When I was translating Showa: A History of Japan, there were MANY times I was crying at my keyboard. My job was to make you cry at the same time.

AI cannot cry. It cannot do this.

A new music video for the 40th anniversary version of a classic Kome Kome Club song (Kimi ga Iru Dake de), that's a kind of time capsule for Japan from 1992-2025.

It's not detailed, but it's fun to see what they used to convey each year (shown at the bottom of the screen).

Eye of the Beholder II The Legend of Darkmoon: Beyond Waterdeep This direct sequel to Westwood’s Eye of the Beholder came together so quickly it made its DOS PC debut the same year as the first game, and the Amiga port shown here arrived only a few months…

“A desecrated grave. Who would do such a thing?”

Look... I thought... I just... I mean, maybe... if you're going to give me the option to dig then...

Transgender Chicago man hospitalized after saving baby from drowning in Lake Michigan “I wasn’t going to let that baby die,” Lio Cundiff said.

This 30-year-old transgender man, who can’t swim, jumped into Lake Michigan after a wind gust blew a baby in a stroller into the freezing water.

He’s being called a hero. But now he has medical expenses, and people are donating to a fundraiser to support him.

The original GI Joe comics are better than they had any right to be, and instead of Cobra being a random terrorist organization for a mythic lost civilization or whatever, it was born out of frustration of the American everyman turned rotten.

Just amazingly good reads, even now.

Yesterday I filed an #AmicusCuriae brief at #SCOTUS in the birthright citizenship case. It presents stories of 3 families of Japanese ancestry--w/o legal allegiance to the USA--to show citizenship derives from birth on US soil, not parental loyalties.

What can be made commonplace can easily be made into the “default.”
