Basically I take the attitude of that Verge piece recommending "that one Brother printer everyone seems to have" to gear, and it's worked well for me.
Best printer 2023: just buy this Brother laser printer everyone has, it’s fine
Do you really want to think any more about printers than this?

Professor Louis Appleby covered up a policy which killed trans children so that the British government could kill some more through neglect and lack of care.
One of the wickedest things Wes Streeting has ever done is push politically convenient falsehoods about suicide rates amongst young trans people. We have new data from the National Child Mortality Database that exposes the truth he tried to cover up.
New data shows surge in trans kids’ suicides following healthcare rollbacks | Good Law Project
A freedom of information request by Good Law Project has found that deaths by suicide of trans young people under 18 surged following the withdrawal of gender-affirming healthcare

The worst thing about the Scottish prison court case is just how little empathy there is.
Like do those opposed to trans rights not see just how significant of a safety risk it would be to put a post op trans woman into a men's prison?
Or maybe they do, but they just don't care.

Like the current case by case approach works. For real trans people it ensured safety for everyone. You can tell who is really trans and who has suddenly found a trans identity after being arrested for a horrible crime. Case by case let's us get the best for everyone. Blanket bans will harm so many.

When it becomes clear that those same rich and powerful men are exploiting your anti-trans crusade as a diversion from the exposure of their crimes, a dodgy sense of priorities becomes a criminal level of complicity.

Various people mentioned this without explaining why it was important. Now I get it.
So, let's get this straight. Christopher "Moot" Poole created 4chan as a gathering place for hentai and CSAM enthusiasts, started /pol/ the day he met with Jeffrey Epstein, then /pol/ memed Trump to the presidency and birthed Qanon, a conspiracy theory in which Trump is a good person who hates CSAM.

The figures here also show that 7% of all child suicides were trans children. That compares with trans children making up only 1% of the population.
Trans kids are seven times as likely to die by suicide as cis kids and all this government can do is make things worse and cover these figures up.

I don't exaggerate when I say that Andrew Wakefield should be tried for mass murder. We'll never know how many people have died or will die as a direct result of his fraudulent study.
This is the large domino, with the small domino being some random quack in the UK in 1998 trying to undermine the existing MMR vaccine so his business partner can swoop in with his own. Instead he lost his work credentials and now kids are dying needlessly all over the world, so great job everyone.
Austria loses its WHO status as measles-free, too, together with Armenia, Azerbaijan Uzbekistan and Spain. This comes as no surprise, considering the rise in numbers in recent years and the decline in MMR vaccine coverage

OK so in 1992 a girl I know went with her brother to Lepre-con and she was one of the only girls there. The shy nerdy boys acted like she was the goddess Aphrodite and it did wonders for her self-confidence. Then one boy approached her with a figurine and said "I have painted you an orc".

And it's about making mainstream politicians realise that the mythical "floating voter" is only to the right because the currents running through their information networks are pushing them there.
