I saw screenshots this morning of Trump threatening members of Congress with death for this video but I hadn't seen the video. So if, like me, you've been inadequately online this week, this is what Trump thinks is worthy of EXECUTION.

The Sora AI thing is proof of something very important: The technology itself is useless without the ability to use the likenesses of real, living, unpredictable people, and the art they create. And the only way to get those likenesses or that art is to summarily steal it.

So, right now, the only reliable way to diagnose endometriosis is with exploratory surgery. But finally, real scientists (instead of male scientists), are on the job & of course they’ve identified multiple markers in menstrual blood that point to noninvasive testing.

A judge in Massachusetts today issued what I think is the first judgment against the DOJ's attempt to subpoena doctors who treat trans patients. The judge quashed the subpoena the DOJ issued against Boston Children's Hospital, home to the country's first gender clinic for adolescents.

The destruction of our economy is happening at breakneck speed. It will take years to rebuild, if at all, because trust in the US is gone. When one party can undo everything enacted by the last and the American ppl cannot be trusted to vote in their best interest, companies don’t invest or expand.

If Campbell had been hit by a bus in 1929, the "golden age" of US science fiction would be different, as would what's "classic" in the genre, because *what was allowed to be published* in the genre would have been filtered in another way through another (probably) man, with other specific tastes.

In most documet editors you can customize the heading styles, so you can still get the specific look you want while also being accessible!
Sighted users often use bold or large fonts to create the appearance of headings in documents. People using screen readers have no way of understanding these visual cues. Use heading styles from the styles menu to correctly format headings.
