learning dep type theory even more than mathematics taught me that what matters most is the definitions - I don't know what systems would better surface and allow one to refine definitions, but I hope we one day can actually be liberated from the von neumann--euclid paradigm

When I first transitioned, I would drive a mile to a public gender neutral bathroom rather than use one at work. I found out later a dozen staff held “meetings” about what they would do if I used the women’s room. I was their boss’s boss at the time, still had no recourse, just had to let it happen.
The BBC reporting on Beth Upton’s current employment situation is definitely not in the public interest, and it is insane how much the British press freely get away with harassing her for the crime of simply living her life existing as a trans person in the UK.

I like the government pivot to reminding voters that Farage is an avowed enemy of NATO & Europe & an ardent admirer of Vladimir Putin, who routinely orders the murders of critics & opponents. It is politically effective & morally essential.

I'm retired on Wednesdays. Without that wee break, I'd struggle to make it through the week. Life lurches along in two day fits of work. But this Wednesday is also my birthday. Really not sure what to spend it on.

The Doctor’s immediate instinct? Assume they’re a person, then make an introduction.
I grew up reading the book, and that instilled in me the instinct that green scaly rubber people are people too.

Free TV series idea. In mid-twentieth-century England, a somewhat patrician and charismatic private detective successfully bullies the police and the public into finding guilty people who, in later episodes, turn out to be innocent. The longer story arc asks whether they are more than incompetent.

there is a widespread belief among people with even a little technical and scientific savvy that Alchemy was a bunch of hooey, that they never published their experiments, that alchemists had to each discover on their own not to drink mercury, etc
but this is urban legend!

This framing from The Times – focusing exclusively on employers – I think means that even they have realised just how significant the High Court decision is when it comes to trans inclusion by service providers. Time for the Code of Practice to be sent back.

Brexit means Brexit. Or something.
In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."
Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.
It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.
Our latest.

The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.
