For @nytimes.com, I wrote about Elon Musk’s obsession with the UK, where he has trolled his way into dominating the news cycle

For months, Musk has been deriding Britain and testing which of its right-wing leaders are willing to be his mouthpiece. What does he want?

NEW: Trans women in federal custody were placed in solitary and told they were going to be moved to men's facilities days after Trump's exec order. Other trans folks have issues accessing HRT.

Advocates fear this is just the beginning.

Trans Woman Sues After Being Notified Of Transfer To Men’s Prison
One of the women sued the Trump administration, alleging the order violates her constitutional rights and puts her “at an extremely high risk of harassment, abuse, violence, and sexual assault.”

A lot of posts with misinformation celebrating the latest development in the Tate case on the cursed app as a win. It’s not…yet. Prosecutors have to repeat 2 victims statements as their old ones have been thrown out. The case has not ended and will resume 10 December. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!
