The number of trans women attacks on cis women in toilet settings is actually well known - it's zero, as per police FOI request.

Because demographically there is a sufficient pool of cons women who want to date a cons man, get married, have children, and be a wife. There is also a pool of non-cons women who want to date non-cons men but are not interested in marriage, kids, or being a wife. And LOTS of other pools of people.

I would have thought that alerting law enforcement would be the last thing on earth they would want to do. In fact it might literally be the last thing on earth they do.

A lot of people affected may have been able to zip up and archive their work offsite, but in the meantime, institutions and individuals outside the USA will be able to pick up and continue the work, if they can get funding, with or without the original individuals.

Good example of a modern shibboleth. It's "bacon, egg, and cheese".

The error was putting carrot in a cake in the first place.
Carrots are a vegetable, ladies and gentlemen, and have no place in a cake.
In other news, kale is a fodder crop for cattle, not for humans.
Late-breaking: same applies to sprouts. News at eleven.

Interesting. Here it's pronounced like "aren't".

Yep. Long family tradition of deliberately misusing "fewer" and "less", and of adding an insult to any question ending in a preposition 😃 but only at home in jest, not in public. Grammar "errors" are a valuable social marker and should not be used to mock those who didn't acquire grammatical skills.

For years I called out the fake christians — those who pretend to be christian so they can shelter under that label — and was told they didn't exist because in America you cannot criticize anyone's claimed belief. But they do exist, and Pavlovitz exposes them far more eloquently than I ever could.

My first editor was wonderful, competent and thoughtful. My second was, quite frankly, useless, with zero clue about marketing, and who changed the cover design without consultation. If I look for a third, at least I know what to look for.

Not just a vicious right-wing extremist but stupid as well.

I was running dashed late, so I came home from the haberdasher's — in a mad dash — and caught him on my dashcam fixing my pebbledash — but it's all balderdash really.

celebrity /sə-lĕb′rĭ-tē/ n. A person you've never heard of from a tv show you've never watched.

You are correct, it's "souped up". I've never come across "suped up".

I think we need a concerted effort to change the name AI to AS (Artificial Stupidity).

The only valid justification for homework is to measure the extent to which what was taught so far has been understood (or in some cases memorised), or to encourage the learning by rote of basic concepts. I can't see any reason for it otherwise.
