Imagine the body horror that would be having a nearly perfect wolverine style immune system You step on a nail. Your foot swells to twice its size in under an hour, then erupts a jet of pressurized pus. Half an hour later it is back to normal.

Last month, 19 other EV models sold more than Tesla. Of a total of 8731 cars sold, 1343 were EV. Tesla sold 30. How do you frame that story? www.irishexaminer.com/business/com...

Vampires would experience time differently than a mortal, years passing in the blink of an eye. For a vampire, time is infinite and free. It is worthless. So why don't they ever show vampires using linux?

You know how time perception speeds up as one ages simply due to the fact that one month or year is much larger percent of someone's life at 10 years old than at 60 years old. But also, consider how fast an infant learns versus and adult. How much new, unknown stuff a child encounters each day.

It is deeply weird that only after a sustained years-long campaign to deprive trans people of every right enjoyed by cis people did the Guardian ask someone from a womens' refuge if they had ever had problems resulting from trans women using their services & got the reply 'Never, in fifteen years"

Literally the most predictable possible outcome of Labour’s hard turn to right wing posturing. They gain exactly no votes from the right. They lose their votes from the left. Also predictable: they will try to go further right, intensifying the pattern.

Therapists have to follow certain codes of conduct and ethical standards. AI does not. You can’t sue or reprimand AI. It’s wildly dangerous to let AI replace trained mental health professionals.

Transgender people have been asked about pornography and their sex lives when accessing healthcare from the National Gender Service. They said this experience was traumatic and upsetting. Experts said questions like these are “completely inappropriate”. jrnl.ie/6690859

In 1964 the Civil Rights Act had 60/30 approval. 1964 was also the year the GOP nominated staunch conservative Barry Goldwater. One of BG's marquee positions was that he voted AGAINST the CRA. This earned him many votes from the traditionally Democratic South, but he got shellacked nationwide.

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

if they did this heavy-handed manipulation of how the platform worked in order to hurt Musk's critics, do you think they might have manipulated the platform in the run-up to the 2024 election, the election that Elon Musk said carried existential risk for him?

GDPR, gender identity & why the UKSC decision doesn’t apply to Ireland... “… without coming undone from the principles of data protection, the UK state can't lawfully take actions to process people's gender data in a way that ignores their lived experience in favour of their gender status at birth.”

Excellent summation of the recent case, why it doesn't have anything to do with Ireland and what EU law has to say about the matter. Strict gender binaries oppress us all. "It looks like we've constructed models of oppression based on strict versions of gender behaviour between men and women."
