Growing up my friend lived on the same street as Wozniak and on Halloween he gave out full bars and we stanned for him then and we stan for him now.

Silicon Valley picked the wrong Steve to lionize.
Good old Woz. Good for him.

It tracks since Riley Gaines was best buddies with the coach who allegedly raped her teammates and has said almost nothing about it. She is very quiet about that despite being so outspoken about trans people.

The UK is considering a policy that would effectively segregate trans people from society. It would bar trans people from "single sex spaces" even when they use the facility of their sex assigned at birth.

This is a full on policy of segregation without even the benefit of separate facilities.

"I just say, ‘You know, it’s hard for me to care about Riley Gaines tying for fifth when my swim coach is accused of raping my teammates.”

Gaines never talks about her teammates who were raped by her coach that she supported.

Federal Conservatives blame municipal "red tape" for housing soaring costs and the slow pace of development.

But it's usually the right-wing city councillors who maintain or create new obstacles to urban development. Let that sink in.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.
