"The beatings will continue until morale improves." We're all used to it, but I'm not sure I've ever seen it stated quite so explicitly by authority.
Duffy: "Trump talks about the golden age of transportation. But the golden age in transportation truly begins with you ... People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly ... so we want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season: Help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.

I'm not saying you can easily find Larry Summers email by googling his name and workplace and I am 100% NOT suggesting you bother him. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS! It might distract him from covering up underaged sex crimes or sexpesting. Behave. This is a warning! Respect the guy.

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!

'Additionally, certain risk loci overlapped with long covid (BPTF) and ME/CFS (OLFM4, RABGAP1L/GPR52), two poorly characterised disorders, albeit with different lead variants.'

If you refuse to help kids in situations like this, you can't punish them when they resort to proportionate self-help. That's how the Playground Rules are supposed to work.
If you don't think the tacit rules of engagement should apply the same way to girls as to boys, you're part of the problem.

This is rape culture.
This is why so many people don’t come forward.
A young girl was being bullied at school by a boy who made AI generated nudes of her.
She told the principal. She told the guidance counsellor. They didn’t stop it.
Finally she hit the boy responsible, and SHE got expelled:

A Louisiana girl hit a boy who was sharing deepfake nude photos of her. She was expelled.
“This girl was abused,” one of the family’s attorneys said, noting that she endured sexual exploitation and harassment. And the expulsion “was like pouring salt in the wound.”
