Dr. Jo’s long-term research was interrupted by the closure of Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles’ gender clinic. If you hear these people saying “we need more research,” know that they are the ones shutting down the research.
After being attacked for it by the NYT, one researcher has found yet more evidence in favor of puberty blockers. @veraeikon.bsky.social takes a look at this study in this month's Journal Club!
Journal Club: The Solid Evidence for the Use of Puberty Blockers — Assigned
In 2024, the NYT released a hit piece against a research paper that supported the use of puberty blockers. One year later, the very same researcher has found even more evidence supporting their use. A...

I don’t trust digitization. I trust medieval storerooms and Bedouin shepherds.
When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

Years ago, my colleagues at Business Insider and I tracked YouTuber “cancellation” arcs. What we found is that for many entertainers, “cancellation” actually sets the stage for a redemption arc, one that can raise their profile higher than ever. It wasn’t career-ending. It was fuel.

Brilliant news from the highest court in the EU, meaning same-sex marriages must now be legally recognised in places such as Poland where couples cannot yet marry
The EU Court of Justice just ruled all EU countries must recognise same-sex marriages, saying citizens have freedom of 'normal family life' in other member states
Two men who married in Germany in 2018 and now live in Poland brought the case
The couple's lawyer describes the ruling as 'historic'

It doesn't matter if you are a civilian on a boat or a civilian in the desert. Murder is murder, and due process is due process. There is no justifying crimes against humanity.

Your windshields should be absolutely covered in a sticky mess of bug splats/insect carcasses every time you drive across open country forcing you to stop periodically at gas stations to use their wet squeegees to try and clean up your view of the road at night
Thinking a lot about how poorly our brains recognize long term subtle changes, like climate change or biodiversity loss. We've lost something like 1 out of every 4 individual birds in the US since 1970, more for some species.
There should be at least 25% more birds around you right now.

Democrats caved on ACA subsidies in part to give SNAP benefits to people and instead, they will get neither.

virtue signalling is good actually
Performative decency is actually *so* important for this reason.
It tricks the 10% of ghouls into thinking that there are only 1% of ghouls.
And it makes the 30% of people that don't care one way or another follow the mostly decent crowd

Misogyny is the biggest red flag when identifying a likely terrorist, mass murderer, fascist or other regressiveness. A man who hates women will always hate society and try to control or destroy it. They are defective and hold back our civilization and species.

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

If US Mayors and Governors were actually serious about confronting ICE they’d call for the creation of a citizen’s self-defence force or order riot police to intervene to block the raids.
