And also calling for the study of puberty blocker use to be axed - not because it's unethical to make access to health treatment contingent on "volunteering" for research though.
No, because they think it's wrong to get kids hopes up that they'll ever be allowed to be trans some day.
B'stards!

I'm sure that I've missed it but has anyone ever done a deep dive into the inner workings and funding of Christian Concern and The Christian Legal Centre. They are always the ones popping up with anti-progressive court cases but there appears to be no proper scrutiny over who they are. . .

Here's another example for you. Germany just declared that Jewish Voice for a Just Peace (JS) are “foreign extremists”.
Tell me, is there some precedent of Germany categorizing Jews as foreigners? Just checking

There are a very small number of things that are actually distractions.
Imposing martial law is not one of them.

It’s pretty hard for me to parse why this news reporting on LA is so dramatically off the mark.
It’s kind of akin to a hurricane season ratings grab: “Look at this intensifying drama.”
But this results in news stories about LA that do not routinely describe the broader context of…relative peace.

Just saying this now so that if there is a Reichstag fire on Trump’s military parade we don’t play the “oh no senseless violence we all have to pull together and support the president” bullshit.

Seems like the IDF made the calculation that they can get away with daily massacres at aid distribution points if they only kill 30 or so at a time, which isn’t enough to make headlines in the west

It seems to take more time going through content generated by AI, hunting for and fixing mistakes, than it would to just read the original paper and look up references yourself, old skool style.
And it's bound to get worse as an increasing level of materials it "learns" from will be other AI slop.
