The decision comes despite a review by Victoria’s former chief psychiatrist, Prof Ruth Vine, now made public, finding that treatment decisions “must be informed by each individual’s presentation and circumstances”. Continue reading...

Hint: It’s men who would strangle a woman

The fear of someone's life being made moderately easier by accident has prevented us from making a lot of peoples lives livable on purpose.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

Anyone expecting Labor to change by accommodating ecological science into its basic framework of understanding? How even would that happen?

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

Reposting this not just to be smugly cynical, but because it's a vital part of our analysis.
The Democrats, and other "left" social-democrat parties are controlled oppositions. Their job is to stop any genuinely left movement getting power.

It’s not just Schumer.
The Dems job is to cave,
come up one vote short,
get blocked by the parlementarian,
mired in committee, etc
It’s why large Corps, billionaires & foreign countries fund thrm.
If they didn’t cave, lose, come up short
the Corps/billionaires wouldn’t give them a dime.

Democrats when they have a supermajority: I mean, we don't really NEED to ban orphan crushing. Everyone understands it's bad.
Republicans: congrats, we did it. Took 2,000 tries over 10 years but orphan crushing is now legal.
Democrats: we just don't have the votes to ban orphan crushing and anyway the parliamentarian wouldn't allow it even if we did. Next year we'll do it IF we gain a supermajority and the stars align

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.
They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.
