Federal judge unloads on ‘unserious’ RFK Jr., says anti-trans policy showed his ‘cruelty’ Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai vacated the “Kennedy Declaration,” finding it unlawfully attempted to override medical standards and restrict care for transgender youth.

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

“This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.”

"I'm seeing warnings about scammers trying to commission artists but the "reference sheet" for their character they want commissioned isn't an image but a .vbs file ("visual basic script"), and will run a script when you open it, probably to yoink your account(s), but I haven't seen this from anyone who's actually clicked it yet.  Just be careful and never open a file like that, 'cause people suck."

Reply from the same user:

"For reference (heh)"

Screenshots of messages.

Sender: "Okay, I've sent it now."

There's a file attachment called "Shork_YCH_MyReference_v1.vbs". The vbs extension is circled.

Sender: "If everything is in order, I can send the overpayment."

Sender, in reply to the file attachment (again with the vbs extension circled): "How much would the full piece cost?"

thereisselfpreservation:

"At a glance, the file name checks out. But!! do not open a .vbs file!!!

You should know that the infamous I Love You virus uses the same trick - Always make sure to turn on 'show file extensions' in your windows/browser settings.

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

Men are so fucking fragile. Non-"girly jobs" are aggressively pushing out anyone that's not a white cis man, but sure, let's run PR campaigns so the poor boys will be willing to *checks notes* work for a living.

A lot of discourse is about telling us how we are doing it wrong when, politically, you ain’t got the answer either, bro.

Republicans terrified of crossing Trump due to physical threats, Democrat says Eric Swalwell says threats to them and their families are stopping GOP officials from criticizing president

I think it's important to remember that many people in power will not stand up against Trump because they are afraid for the physical safety of themselves and their families. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I think if they acknowledged that the vaccine would have saved their child, they'd have had to accept partial blame for her death, which I imagine would be incredibly difficult to process. Easier to think that it was just meant to happen that way.
