Salisbury was rebuilt for aesthetic reasons, but they decided to build the new one on top of a gravel waterbed for insane reasons and it immediately began sinking, so they engineered more water underneath and now they check the water level twice a day with a Holy Dipstick. I dunno

Remember how I said I have it written into my foreign-language contracts that my work has to be translated by an actual human? This shit is why.
Those book translations are gonna suck. They'll save money putting out books that are going to be painful to read. That's not a great long-term strategy.

French publishing house Harlequin decided to use AI translation instead of human translations.
All their freelance translators (some of whom had been working with Harlequin for +30y!!!) were told they would no longer receive work from Harlequin

And the majority of penis surgeries are requested by cis men unhappy with size, or unhappy with their erections or inability to have them.

Weird that this article refers to the NDAA as "an annual must-pass piece of legislation."
Is it regarded that way by many legislators? Sure. Is that some kind of objective fact? Absolutely not. www.cbsnews.com/news/senate-...

Pediatric phalloplasty is something that takes place when there is severe genital injury or a congenital condition. I have not been able to find a single report of phalloplasty performed on a transgender minor.
This is grotesque fear-mongering.

This "person" - likely a bot - is completely inauthentic. The post below is stolen word for word from someone else. Be warned.
This is in no way meant to center myself, but to illustrate the moment we are in.
I run a gun violence prevention organization. We can barely finish one statement before we need to start another one.
And yes, we must issue statements. Violence thrives in silence, and silence isn’t an option.

I'm increasingly convinced Trump's inner circle is giving him busy work (the White House ballroom, Kennedy Center, presidential plaques, gold decorations, etc.) while they essentially run the government. He admits that he doesn't even know who he is pardoning anymore.

The next time you’re tempted to beat yourself up over a silly mistake at work, think of the poor guy who pulled a real-life “Sorry, I’m sorry, I’m trying to remove it” after publicly hearting a photo of Jeffrey Epstein.
