Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded.

I don't want to shoot videos
I don't want to post tutorials
I don't want to show my process
I don't want to pour varnish

First flowers of the year!

This is a valid point: whenever you see this sort of high-pressure sales tactic turned on a technology, you can be CERTAIN that it's a fake—actually useful new tech sells itself!
