99.9 percent of the people saying "The law is the law" have never read the FWS decision, or the applicable laws.

We tried to place this story - very expensive polling, the first of its kind, strong quantitative data about what trans people feel about Britain: bluntly there is no better way to tell the story - with the BBC but it said it was "too weak".
But it will pick up any old piece of transhating garbage.

In @yougov.co.uk polling of the trans community, to the best of our knowledge the first of its kind ever conducted, an astonishing 84% said Britain is “fairly unsafe” or “very unsafe” for trans people.

Only one AWS region went out? Seems like there will be a big uptick in demand for AWS Architects as that's poor design. Our demo k8s clusters are in two GCP zones in one region, but anything prod I'd be concerned if it was in one region only!

MAGAs are apparently trying to make out Stephen King is a pedo because of a scene in IT. I don't remember the bit with Beverley they are referencing, but this one really disturbed me as a 16-17yr old when I read it! (CW for c-word and, well...)

this is the most miserable woman alive. she’s alienated herself from everyone who ever loved, respected, or trusted her and sees any attempt at conciliation as an underhanded attack. she is in a mind jail of her own creation that will just grow more and more isolated as she marches to the grave
