This is like the UBI study in that we've done it, like, five times and no one gives a shit because the people who are passing legislation against trans people don't actually care about trans suicide, they like trans suicide, they want it to happen
"[G]ender-affirming care saves lives."
"Suicidality scores among the [study's] patients who provided responses dropped by over 67 percent."
"[O]f the hundreds of patients who started hormone therapy, only seven discontinued their treatment."

It will never cease to amaze me that so many tech bros read Lord of the Rings, decided the hobbits were the bad guys and Sauron and his forces were the good guys, and have built their entire personalities around being corporate ring wraiths.
My rule of thumb is if the company is named after something in Lord of the Rings, it’s almost certainly evil.
Since its founding in 2017, Anduril Industries has become one of the hottest companies in a crowded field of defense-tech startup.
Its fast-moving approach comes with its share of setbacks.

In the busy life of a CEO, 20 hours of "work" time is spent on personal shit we plebs would be in trouble for doing during work hours.
I remember this Wall Street Journal graphic claiming that CEOs work 55 hour weeks, and maybe only 6 hours of it outside of meetings would be unambiguously considered work if they were in an entry level position.

People whose entire workload is chatting while having lunches and dinners paid for by the company and then telling other people "Go fix this"
While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead
Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.

No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.
The folks at @afghanevac.bsky.social have in hand a new USCIS directive which largely targets Afghan refugees who fled the Taliban in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal in 2021.
In case you needed a reminder that the most loathsome people in the world work for DHS.
