Imagine a study that found kids with ADHD have more visits to doctors than kids without ADHD — and used that finding to suggest ADHD treatment doesn't work. That's the standard of evidence the anti-trans braintrust is willing to accept.
Congress? An elegant weapon for a more civilized age
A friend described doing an exercise w/ a group of students from around the world, asking them to write down the best & worst thing about a bunch of different countries. Answers varied a lot for all countries except for one: every single person said the best thing about the USA is NASA.
Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.
Someone with the handle @velocity69.bsky.social is sharing a video with the caption:
"The highest quality video of the moon was just released…
so beautiful
* Artemis II"
It's gone viral, but it's not from Artemis II. If you've shared it, you might want to un-share.
It's. Not. Complicated.
(but if you want more (trans, intersex and gnc) Torah Values, there are a lot here):

Real patrotism is loving your neighbor, showing compassion to strangers - and not staying silent whilst other politicians sell our country out.

The layoffs are economic. The AI disruption is technological. The political targeting of people who think deeply about humanity in systems is ideological. And all three are happening at the same time, which means you are being squeezed from three directions simultaneously while being told to upskill and stay positive. They are asking you to optimize your performance inside a system that is collapsing in real time.
Yes, it's normal and correct to feel legitimately unhinged right now.
Every time I think I'm crazy, I have to take a deep breath and remember the moment we're in.
And we're all in it together

Incredible
<pinches self>, it is Easter Sunday right? The 2nd most closed day of the year in the UK after Christmas Day?
Then how come I just received a Royal Mail parcel delivery???
- Should "newly created" be hyphenated? - Yes — "newly-created role" should be hyphenated since it's a compound modifier before a noun. Good catch. - I thought compound modifiers ending in -ly aren't hyphenated? - You're right, I was wrong. Adverbs ending in -ly don't take a hyphen because the -ly already signals that it's modifying the next word. So "newly created role" without the hyphen is correct.
My corporate job has a policy where we have to send them proof that we're using the enterprise AI solution they've forced on us. I just sent in this as my proof for the week.
Glad this one is making the rounds again

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes
If you are not impressed by the picture of a Black Hole, clearly you do not understand the gravity of the situation…
Saw this and thought of you. Family, mobility, joy, learning. So much good. Plus, the little handlebars!
It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.
‼️Very important‼️

How can they be sure they were alive and not just zombees?
Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.
A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”
This is from 1975.
When an illegal war, likely to cause mass murder, is launched, we have a choice of 2 positions:
1. It's wrong and has to stop.
2. Hurray! Let's join in.
Much of the UK Establishment - Conservatives, Reform, the billionaire media - went straight for Option 2.
Which tells you all you need to know.
Achieving the UK’s net zero target by 2050 will cost less than a *single* oil price shock
& will insulate UK against future shocks
Meanwhile Reform UK & Tories want to scrap net zero targets on the grounds of 'cost' - so either foolish or doing donors' bidding

A trans person drawing on a statue with chalk got comment from the Home Secretary and coverage on TV and in all the main papers.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
