Aren't law journals edited by law students mainly? (A very weird system to begin with)... If these people want to publish their third rate crap why not just set up a journal and have at it instead of harassing a bunch of students

The irony that how they carved out pregnancy as not sex discrimination was by saying that not all women can be or will be pregnant. Oh, so there's different ways to be a woman you say? These fucking spineless ghouls

It seems needlessly cruel to say "well you might have felt you had certain rights, but you were wrong, you never had those rights, why are you even upset over something you never had". Like people aren't allowed to feel grief or anger over this horrible, unjust ruling

If the ruling doesn't change anybody's rights as they are understood and interpreted in society, why... was there any need for a ruling at all?

I'm sure @notalawyer.bsky.social is appraised of this situation already but just in case

It's wild how people think their shitty views are some kind of protected characteristic

This happened to me. I called my insurance and they were actually helpful! They got in a 3 way call with the provider, gave them a telling off and the bill got paid by the insurer. YMMV of course, but I was amazed they were so nice. Seemed to make the insurance person's day.

Yes I understand. I came to this country to perform scientific research, I am still a practicing scientist. I am well aware of the blistering destruction being wreaked on what was previously a world-leading research funding structure.

I now understand why the recommended studies seem to be the sort undertaken by sociologists, which are not typically what NIH is for. Funding policy research to understand how to combat poverty and nutritional problems is, I guess, fine? Pretty sure we already know you just help people buy food tho

Shame his podcast is such a steaming pile of racist and transphobic shit. Dude should probably transfer responsibilities for moral compass operation over to his social media team

Lol yes, is there some way to describe a negative version of knowledge that's beyond ignorance? Willful bulshittery? Anti-knowledge?

Imagine being an American cis man living in America and knowing more about abortion and immigration than about COVID. Incurious to the point of catatonic.

@seattlesubway.org has launched an online letter campaign to reject CM Rivera’s amendment. You can send a letter to the city council with a few clicks here. 📧 actionnetwork.org/letters/oppo...

So their "defense" is that he remembers one basic fact about stars? Incredible stuff

This is such creepy right wing crap. Even if millions of adults are choosing to end relationships that don't serve them, why is that in any way bad, or a crisis? Oh, it's because the right loves power and dominance and hates consent, of course.

I read "London is officially the second-best city in the world, according to a pretentious new ranking" lol

How are they not getting that the answer is "hire a small army of pissed off 25 year olds, pay them decently with benefits, and let them do the posting"

Such a strategy means you have lost all claim on an ethically or morally cohesive approach to the outside world, I can only imagine how helplessly melted your inner self would be. Gross

Yes, I want that flu shot. HHS does not manufacture vaccines. He has no logistical way to perform "tampering". No vaccine producer would allow it for business reasons. Now, if the system is allowed to degrade for 20 years and all trust in medicine is lost, then maybe this is possible.

We can't even get @gavinnewsom.bsky.social to shut up and stop being so horrible and weird. Cancelled? In our dreams

Bought a print of the rooftops in Cornwall. I find it reminiscent of a lot of Welsh villages too. Thank you for the heads up!

Also everyone can get condoms! They're at your local gas station. I'm deep in this rabbit hole now aren't I

Unless they mean the women are also now sexually available to each other? Yes, same sex partners, notorious consumers of birth control 🙄

How does increasing supply cause more competition for that supply again? Not that women are any kind of supply. It's logically backwards and ideologically toxic. I've never really come across morally bankrupt people who are actually good at logic.

Reading the comments is always amusing. How many different ways are there to say "Get fucked, Chuck?" Turns out thousands

Pretty wild to do this kind of company and openly involve her and get any money at all. The rich really do look after their own.
