we need to conduct a clinical trial with hundreds of house fires to determine if house fires are actually bad for people before we can say for sure whether or not that's what killed him
1. In Alaska, the right wing govt handpicked doctors to the Medical Board to ban trans youth care.

A month after after, one anti-trans doctor was arrested for child porn.

The day after he was bailed out, his home burned down, with reports suggesting he was found deceased.

Our latest wild story.

Last week Dr. Ryan McDonough was arrested on ten counts of possession of child sexual abuse material. Over the weekend, his family home went up in flames.

every one of these “transmed” threads starts with some post like “transmeds suck” and ends with some post like “and that’s why the medical-industrial complex is tricking you into thinking you’re the wrong gender sweaty” but if you ask about that part it’s “out of context”

saying suicide is about bodily autonomy discredits bodily autonomy

I think it's actually incredibly harmful to abortion and LGBT rights to make this argument and that we have a moral responsibility to denounce this comparison

It is still insane to me that we expect doctors to work at a level of fatigue that would make pilots never step foot in a cockpit for the rest of their life for even trying. Especially considering planes are largely self driving!

one of the funnier aspects to the AI backlash is the fact that they're negatively polarizing much of the tech enthusiast demographic against them by making hobbyist PC building functionally unaffordable
Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

the problem for transphobes is that at this point nearly everyone has met or at least interacted with a trans person and figured out that they're just people trying to live their lives. this is why they want to ban trans people from existing in public at all costs
11% of Britons say they feel 'very negatively' about trans people which just highlights how much this is a top-down hate project with around 95% of the media hating trans people and a high percentage of MPs.
Hello. I’m a “same-sex attracted person” (loathe that description of my sexuality) & I support Trans rights, like the majority of female “same sex attracted people”.

no, it should not be legal for your doctor to convince you to kill yourself, which is what "medical assistance in dying" is

Well, fuck.

I’m starting to suspect that our ability to catch spree killers who leave the scene is extremely dependent on a functioning FBI…which we 100% do not have right now.

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.

They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

Okay, if we must defer to lived experience, which supersedes everything, my lived experience is that inflation since 2020 was moderate, my wages kept pace, my consumption and lifestyle has mostly improved, and my housing costs are tolerable - they’ve actually declined, in fact.

what is extra frustrating about the continued efforts to kill it is that none of them understand this

everyone attacking it is convinced that killing section 230 will allow them to remove some part of the internet that they don't like, be it content moderation or sex predators, but it's much worse
Bluntly, Section 230 is almost literally the law that the entire internet rests upon, it makes it possible for user generated content to exist on the internet, it’s incredibly important, and genuinely we must defend it at all costs. This place literally would not exist without it.

The reason you defend civil liberties is not because it is popular (it is never popular) but because if the government can deport you to a foreign gulag without trial then it doesn't matter how popular the rest of your policy platform is.

this joke plagues transphobes because it’s an incredibly cutting take on what the modern transphobic panic is, a hysterical panic based off of a lie that transness is fake and that there is an intentional effort from the right to prop up this wedge to destroy all LGBTQ rights

It's kind of amazing how you can very specifically date the precise moment Nate Silver's brain turned to pudding: March 11, 2020, when the NBA suspended the season for COVID and suddenly Nate had no outlet for his crippling gambling addiction.

Having to pay a lot of money for an Uber during a transit outage sucks!

However, surge pricing (higher prices during a demand spike) also incentivizes more drivers to come take trips.

Banning it might just replace “my Uber was expensive” with “I can’t even get an Uber”.
Subway is down, and for what a regular ride would have been under $10, they are charging $60 - $75.
Why do governments allow these private companies providing a public service do this?
Charge by demand? So in slow demand they pay me? Or charge $0?
Limit its basic rate to +/- 50%

sure glad we went through a TWO DECADE implementation of these only for DHS to try moving the goalposts in the first year you actually might need one
Add to this that HSI just filed a declaration in our case challenging these policies saying they can’t trust REAL IDs as proof of status.

So showing your papers isn’t even enough to end the stop.
