Bought my Google Pixel in 2020
The screen is cracked, the battery life is destroyed, the charger port is loose, and it generally is a laggy, crashing POS
I still refuse to buy a new phone because I'm not giving money to any company sucking up to Trump, pushing AI, or funding Palestinian genocide

That's tied for the time we had just set the table and were all in the kitchen
I was about 8 and was like... I smell burning?
My mom was like "that smells like... Hair? Oh no-" and ran to the table

One Thanksgiving my dad wanted to try grilling the turkey. He kept having trouble starting the grill, but eventually got it working
That turkey tasted like propane. We all took one bite, looked at each other, and were like... Welp mashed potatoes and dessert for dinner I guess

In a couple hours, we'll be rolling out About This Account globally, allowing you to see the country or region where an account is based. This will be accessible by tapping the signup date on profiles.
This is an important first step to securing the integrity of the global town square. We plan to provide many more ways for users to verify the authenticity of the content they see on X.
And for those in countries where speech has penalties, we've included privacy toggles to only show your region.
This was a huge undertaking. A special thanks to the engineers who made this happen: @sandeep_rao @singhai @mingsong@striedinger @rzhao0506

This is being required of trans teens in the UK in order to start puberty blockers. There is a limited time period in which PBs are even useful.
Are there ANY medical treatments that require this many pre-requisites? This is designed to exhaust patients so that they age out of the system.

Thereβs a lot of political commentary about Marjorie Taylor Greene resigning, but one important point is this: she entered Congress in 2021 with an estimated net worth of about $700,000, and is leaving in 2025 with a net worth of roughly $25 million.

Indeed, some of the earliest petitions and what weβd now call letters to the editors that circulated in print media in the early americas were manifestos, and other political writings from enslaved and free Black people arguing for abolition and/or return to Africa.

The for-credit lessons included a Moms for Liberty-sponsored panel as well as a lecture from a renowned anti-trans activist on how to politically organize against βgender ideology.β
