A special class of Silicon Valley tech guy apparently deserves to control the world, and we’ve been offending them by not handing over control.

Now they very nearly control the United States.

We have to understand them to fight back, and we do have to fight back.

Everyone in LA is sharing this story on insta, and I just want to make sure non-Angelenos know about this bear that crawled under a house during the fires. He had to be lured out with rotisserie chickens. Read it. You deserve a little treat.

Billionaires should not own social media platforms.

Billionaires should not run our newspapers.

Billionaires should not control our politics.

A free media is a democratic media - a public good that is owned and run by us all.

Infuriating. Please note that this decision only applies to trans kids— cis kids going through precocious puberty still get to have them. Because they’re only experimental and dangerous when used for a purpose some people find icky

Reposting this with alt text because I think it's a great graphic on the relationship between speed and pedestrian safety. This was developed by the Seattle DOT, although I can't find the original source page.

Every anti-trans-care argument falls apart when you ask why it doesn't apply to any other medical decision
this is an argument for banning both all plastic surgery and knee replacements
Kavanaugh obsessed over trans people "regretting" their decision to transition and that being a state interest.

Setting aside the fact that the rate of "regret" is very low, it's not the state's job to protect people from regret.

This is an argument for the ultimate nanny-state.

I can confirm. They decided that d6 were too likely to be choking hazards for the new target audience due to having flat sides, and so they switched to d20s. I know this because I was one of the toddlers Wizards Of The Coast did the safety testing with.
D&D was all six siders until 2004.
When was that? I've been playing D&D since 1976 and was introduced to the 20 siders then. And 4 siders, and 8 siders and 10 siders and 12 siders.
