"One rule for thee, and another for me"

Does Jon know that a lot of people don't have Nazi tattoos, actually?

!!

We already tested this extensively during Covid and BLM and found that police refused to enforce masking requirements or business closures for ideological reasons and brutalized protesters despite orders not to. What's left to test? bsky.app/profile/book...

My point is that it's not just about Kirk's ideology. If he had been some random on 4chan or Reddit nobody would know who he was.

It's about how he chose to monetize and spread his ideology.

That doesn't mean he should have been murdered. But it's about more than his beliefs.

I lived in Europe, and kids were wearing Jordan merch!

Of course, COVID is actually quite bad for kids, and a whole whack of kids now have permanent health struggles they wouldn't have had if we'd protected them better.

We didn't know the full extent of the damage COVID could do to the body, but we knew it was potentially serious.

I still see people spreading the narrative that those early school closures are responsible for the uptick in diseases generally, and for them being more likely to result in serious outcomes.

STILL, this "immunity debt" bs keeps on going.

Anecdotally, we visited family in the US every year, and had two trips planned for 2025. We fully cancelled on, and moved the other north of the border.

Everyone in RL I talk to about this here in Canada agrees, and many share similar change of plans.

"It's just not worth the risk"

I do not have the biological profile of a cis woman nor a cis man. I am trans and my trans biology needs to be recognised by the health service for the benefit of my safety.

But for ideological reasons the government have pushed the NHS to prioritise my anatomy as an infant to my anatomy as a adult

And no intersex option, either.

Just no medical reasoning whatsoever.

Here’s better reporting about that which seems to be missing from most U.S. reporting

Generative AI products like ChatGPT work by scanning data, and then concocting a response which sounds like the data. In other words, it's always making something up, and giving an answer that sounds right based on what it has "learned". This is how we got to this bizarre illustration of pregnancy.

My way was being there for Pride. That didn't change!

As a parent who had a child with me that day, I wouldn't let my kid just stand next to someone I felt was unsafe. Just, like, take your kid by the hand and walk a few steps in another direction.

It's fine, I promise.

They were there, but it was also Pride. In the same way that the normal parade has different orgs all promoting their own thing.

Dismissing everyone and telling them that it's all cancelled came from Capital Pride. For everyone else, just keep walking.

No one was left behind. Anyone was welcome to keep marching.
