I tend to word things really strongly because I'm a journalist in training. Please do try not to take things personally, but also, I am sorry in advance if I fuck up my wording or something and trip a wire in your head. That is genuinely my bad, and as someone with CPTSD, I do understand. I'm sorry.

Who wants to bet the parents never even asked those kids if they want these hormones
Or told them what they do.
Or had them talk to a doctor about it.

So a thing quietly happening in the background for awhile now is rich parents dosing their kids with growth hormone.
I think it's hilarious we're gonna have a generation of seven foot three ogres who claim a working class background and get mad when you ask how they paid for that trip to Europe.

I hope other people smarter than me see what the two parties of america are converging on.
eventually, the american right will say to the american "left" (nonexistent) that they must work together else be declared socialists.
the american left hates socialism enough that they will surrender.

This whole thread has gotten me thinking about how I'd write a TTRPG system if kids were part of the target audience.
The problem with this is that, as great an effort as highlighting the work of Jennifer Masters is in terms of facilitating a bespoke game informed both by design *and* child education, the question is likely to be reframed by many people as "At what age can kids play D&D unsupervised?" and...

My opinion is that if you get sent home, don't come back until you have demands and they are met. It's their fault for forcing everyone into basically strike conditions.
Folks… deep breath…
We need to General Strike.

Man come on Italy
New — Italy just reportedly informed Global Sumud Flotilla the Italian ship will offer flotilla members the "opportunity" to abandon ship.
Organizers call this "sabotage."
Says if Italy wants to save lives, it wouldn't act as "Israel's enabler," it would ensure the flotilla safely reaches Gaza.
