This comes two weeks after the Council of Europe banned conversion therapy.

The right wing and activist press like the nyt have worked hard to promote the false narrative that transphobic policies are sweeping Europe. They were pushing a lie. Europe speaks for itself
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.
European Parliament Votes Overwhelmingly For "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women"
The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.

for no reason whatsoever, I am bringing out my favorite 12th-century illumination today, which depicts

1) a Thracesian woman killing a Varangian Guard who tried to assault her

and

2) his comrades praising her and giving her all of his stuff for her very understandable and justifiable actions 🙏

games industry is definitely not the core audience of the article, but:
I really want to see (to make?) games interested in hierarchies of power that give people at the bottom and the top more agency than resist/collaborate and enforce/betray respectively.

let's see

isolated republican-governed city with military proximity & airfields

recent purchases of warehouses and empty land for the stated purpose of a massive detention center

announcement of closed airspace declared with no warning, while touting ability for "instant cities"

Hello! I'm looking to speak to anyone who works, or has worked in a diversity position at a major studio or publisher (or whatever it's been called at that company, inclusive growth, DEI, whatever!). Conversations can be 100% anon, of course, via DM here or email lukeATaftermathDOTsite. Thanks!

hard to think of a better example of "you may not believe in class war, but billionaires know they're in one" than this
This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.
