Proud to have helped eliminate "excited delirium" in EM.
Aiming to correctly use the subjunctive in Spanish more often.
And I am never, ever sick at sea.

The evidence keeps accumulating that Brexit was an astonishing self-inflicted economic policy disaster. The fact that it is a slow-moving one bodes ill for those who think that populist economic mismanagement will translate into voters punishing populists. www.nber.org/system/files...

Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

There’s no reason to put gender markers on IDs.
Whether my ID says M or F or X on it doesn’t in any way impact whether my photo looks like me or whether I’m old enough to buy beer or cannabis. There is absolutely no purpose in having it there.

I don't think it's even right to say the voting public doesn't care. I think the truth is a lot of voters may generally find trans identity moderately confusing but also *none of their business*.
on the other hand, they find an obsession with harming trans people - say it with me - deeply weird.

Spanberger’s GOP foe spent 57% of her ad budget on anti-trans attacks. Spanberger focused on the economy. You see what won. trib.al/fkMmsR4
The simple truth told time and time again in the polls: The public doesn’t care about trans issues. Voters care deeply about the economy, inflation, & prices.
