Apparently all you needed to do to predict the NYC election results was read that one N.K. Jemisin novel.

1. Anti-trans outrage is losing its bite.
Last week, Elon Musk led a mass boycott campaign to get trans characters removed from shows on the platform.
Major conservatives joined in.
Now, we have the result: the boycott was a fizzle, and Netflix stock is up.

The anti-trans right heavily praised Gordon Guyatt as the “godfather” of evidence based medicine.
He worked for SEGM and was responsible for their GRADE reviews.
Now he disavows them, says evidence supports transgender youth care.
Great coverage from Henry carnell.

For years, medical professionals and transgender advocates have been saying the "Society for Evidence-based Gender Medicine" was not following the principles of evidenced-based medicine.
Now the "godfather" of evidence-based medicine is leveraging the same claim against them. (1/)

so the Economist article isn't attributed an author. but someone in the replies of this 🧵 tipped me off that it was Jəsse Singal. & it turns out that it was, which in retrospect isn't surprising (as he's one of the ppl who would never answer this question):
many ppl highlighting flaws in this article. but having fought in the "80% desistance" wars of the mid-2010s, I remember asking anti-trans activists if they'd be ok if 80% of youth were helped by gender-affirming care (flipping their argument). & they *never* answered. b/c they want *zero* trans ppl

Damn, we've reached the point where Shakespeare is illegal.
1. Oklahoma Central University has shut down a student play about Shakespeare performers performing in drag, which was extremely common in his plays.
The college asserts that the play could be illegal.

This is op/ed is a hot mess but let's focus on one specific false claim from Oren Cass. He wrote:
"the crops are not rotting in the fields"
But yes, Oren, they are. Crops are rotting in the fields.
"the crops are not rotting in the fields"
But yes, Oren, they are. Crops are rotting in the fields.
President Trump “has used the first phase of his second term to swing a wrecking ball through the American establishment with astonishing speed and force,” Oren Cass writes. But, as Congress is returning from its August recess, a question remains: What now?
