"Excuse me," the man at the bar said, "but I couldn't help overhearing. Are you really saying you refuse to pick one?"
"I don't see why I should have to."
"It's a core part of one's identity!"
"My gender and sexuality-"
"Oh!" He looked relieved. "I thought you were talking about football teams."

Mary Moriarty spent six months demanding evidence in the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The federal government stonewalled her the entire time.
This month it gave up.
She now has everything—and Minnesota has no time limit on charging a killing.

The Trump Regime Was Betting On Exhaustion. It Lost.
A prosecutor got the evidence. Seven thousand strangers killed a plan to dump wastewater into their lakes and rivers. Trump’s own lawsuit turned on him.

It's only been five months, and somehow this is relevant again.
This is only related in a sideways manner, but: the story of any small slice of humanity is the story of humanity, just boiled down and distilled. So:
In 2020, we had a lot of conversations about harassment at SF/F conventions, and Isaac Asimov came up several times.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.
A US-born woman born was confronted by sheriff deputies in Louisiana who were convinced her ID and social security card were fakes. They turned her over to ICE, who shackled her & took her an hour away. Even after a lawyer convinced ICE of the woman's citizenship the sheriff says they did no wrong

The U.S.-born young mother presented ICE and sheriff’s deputies with her ID and Social Security card. Agents took her anyway.

Remember when RFK Jr. unilaterally decided that COVID19 vaccines should no longer be recommended during pregnancy?
Well, COVID19 increases the risk of preeclampsia.
And it turns out that getting boosted, either before or during pregnancy, significantly reduces the risk of preeclampsia.
