No, that is not the alternative
The alternative was treating like a normal news story, and not a trial by media - one that was so clearly turbocharged by Arday’s ethnic and social background and the growing resentment in the establishment in the UK of having more black people in high places

The alternative to this is people lying with impunity, with the media knowingly covering it up. It's an awful story. And the media will get a lot of the blame. But those who perpetuated the lies and shielded Arday from facing up to them deserve more of it.
I don’t think there’s ever been a clearer example of the British media bullying someone, who was so clearly vulnerable, to death so shamelessly in my lifetime for engagement and clicks
And now we’ll have to watch the people that did it claim they’re shocked, and horrified

the biggest piece of advice i can give wrt insurance letters is to find people who explicitly offer them for trans people and to avoid anyone who doesn't tell you upfront how many sessions to expect

a) there are, like, single digit trans girls in sports in most states (sometimes literally one!), this entire thing is made up so that one girl who wants to play sports with her friends can't do it
b) do not, under any circumstances, make policy based on angry sports parents

Gluesenkamp Perez: "At town halls, what I saw was the people who were the most upset had spent the last 12 years driving their girls to sports practice & they view their best shot of their student going to college as an athletic scholarship. So when we rush to moralize we miss some of the nuance."

What if instead of saying you earn x dollars an hour but are taxed at such and such percent, we said you're earning y dollars an hour with an income multiplier that decreases as your income level goes up. Like how WoW calls it a 'rested xp bonus' instead of a 'overleveling penalty'

No paywall on this one—read it for free
In Minneapolis, there are countless signs every day that the sanctity of our safe, loving places has been ruptured. The Trump administration has not just failed to protect children; it has seen, in their innocence and vulnerability, a fault line that ICE can exploit.
How do I talk to my kids about Minneapolis?
“All I want for my kid is joy, and so much of the world that surrounds her right now is confusion and fear and pain.”

Kristi Noem is telling ICE agents they can forcibly enter your home without a judicial warrant.
That is unconstitutional.
History will judge us if we do not stand up to the lawlessness and cruelty of this administration.
