Do the "Fewer than 10" transgender athletes out of half a million that Charlie Baker, president of the NCAA, is aware of represent a "serious fairness issue", Pete? Fucking pussy.

Damn. Labor really wants to lose that election to Farage. Good luck to Corbyn and Sultana, I guess.

Part of the 40 billion that they might* get from mostly SoftBank, who said they would give OpenAI substantially less if they don't restructure into a for profit by the end of 2025. 1

I suspect they're anticipating the 30 billion from SoftBank to partially fall through.

This kind of shit is pretty common for younger people. I work as a teacher, and I hear students talk about this all the time. I tell them how unhealthy it is blah, blah, blah. My SO tells the younger people at her work "If I had PumpkinSkink's location sharing on he couldn't surprise me with cake from the bakery". She has had more success than I getting people to stop.

Facism doesn't start when they start rounding people up. Facism starts when they lay the legal ground work and normalize facist sentiment within society. Those things have been going on since before Trump, but hey, better late than never.

I'm actually stealing this as an explanation next time I'm at a house party and someone whips out the uno cards.

I'm gonna take this chance to air my personal grievance with "Iodine", which is commonly pronounced (in the US at least) "aye-o-dine", but if we look at all of the other halogen, their "-ine" ending is pronounced "-een", and therefore iodine should clearly be pronounced "aye-o-deen".
