Thread detailing Mark Carney’s war on libraries, knowledge, and culture throughout so many parts of society.
His deep cuts to the public service are not in line with the vision he presents of a bold and more independent Canada.
94% of votes counted, with a clear 2/3 majority for Magyar's Tisza projected.
And not to spoil the mood, but the new parliament will be composed solely of right- to far-right parties. Next to the right-wing Tisza and far-right Fidesz, extreme-right Mi Hazánk also seems to have won 7 seats. #Hungary

REVIEW AND DEVELOPMENTS Review of and Developments in Science The Working Group reviewed the state of the science, including developments since 2021, and reached consensus that: i. Male sex (as defined in Schedule 1) confers performance advantage in all sports and events that rely on strength, power, and/or endurance; ii. To protect fairness in such sports and events, as well as safety particularly in contact sports (e.g. combat, collision, projectile sports), it is necessary and adequate to base eligibility for competition on biological sex; and iii. The most accurate and least intrusive way currently available to screen for biological sex is by screening for the SRY Gene, which is a segment of DNA that is almost always on the Ychromosome, initiates Male sex development in utero, and signals the presence of testes/testicles.
The (heinous) International Olympic Committee has just (fucking) formally banned trans participation in sport.
