One of the reasons public opinion on trans health care is where it is is because a lot of cis people will never ever believe just how corrupt the professional medical class running our health care really is.
Anine is one of the people who worked to expose the research misconduct against trans people at Oslo University Hospital.
Yesterday, she was told she is no longer on their waitlist to receive gender-affirming care.
This is so obviously retaliatory, it's hard to put into words!

Tesla is browbeating the EU to approve its ‘Full Self-Driving’ tech. The pressure is working.
Elon Musk’s EV company is running a social-media campaign blaming European traffic deaths on red tape. Its safety claims don’t hold up, experts say, but regulators are starting to buckle.

This was one of the more diabolical Trump admin moves on immigration; ordering ICE to stop taking biometrics for detained immigrants seeking immigration benefits from USCIS, which meant that the agency would deny their applications by default.

There are different ways govts can do branding. The Trump administration has largely cut human-centered design and the goal of uniformity. Instead, it's focusing on the tastes and imagery of Trump. Lots of gold!

My personal "woke" view is that I hold men to standards; those men knew what they were doing and knew it was wrong. Everyone coming up with excuses for it also knows it's wrong but they either (a) cowardly want to avoid dealing with it or (b) want it to be debatable so they can do it with impunity.
Is it woke to be horrified by what happened at Cornell--and by the "boys will be boys" excuse-making of so many then and now?
If so, perhaps we should all be a little more woke?

What is the IceCube neutrino observatory?
Neutrinos are elusive particles that rarely interact, but can create flashes of light when they do. Most neutrino detectors are giant water tanks surrounded by light detectors. IceCube is kilometer-long strings of detectors embedded in the Antarctic ice.
