Two of Wall Street’s biggest firms say the AI boom isn’t a bubble, arguing real spending and earnings support the stock market rally even as near-term risks emerge.

Your reminder that the US Govt finally got Capone because he didn't pay his taxes.
Sometimes, when I am at home without my dog, I eat some cheese - purely because I know I can do so without having to pay the "cheese tax".

Hey folks, I've got a new person in my life. They showed up late on Tuesday evening, they came back again for more yesterday evening, too. I know it's early days, and while it is quite intimate, I dont think it's going to be forever. It'll be fun while it lasts, though.

I work from home and have found a way of appearing to be online and look busy. No one can send a Teams message as it looks like I'm presenting a meeting, I'm presenting to no one and use this time to catch up on sleep. I'm too addicted to online games to sleep at night.

Nope.
I'm just livid at the abject moral cowardice of the WI and the Guides.
I mean, FFS, the law is an ass and you DO NOT comply in advance.
They'll be coming after cis women too - that's what these cowards don't seem to understand. It's not just us trans folx who're the targets.

Setting aside the whys of Guiding and WI doing this and to what extent they're forced, it's now pretty beyond doubt that this is a campaign to deliberately render trans life in the UK impossible.
The article explicitly notes WI had had a trans-inclusive policy *since the 1970s*!

Really great that one billionaire bankrolling nuisance lawsuits by cranks can force a restructure of our entire society in order to impose discrimination against a marginalised minority. Real fucking triumph of democracy there.
The Women's Institute has been forced into excluding trans women too
"Not doing so would leave us at risk of costly legal challenge and potential regulatory action from the Charity Commission. We have a public duty to ensure our charity is not in breach of the law."
