The worst part of the Assisted Dying debate is people assuming it’s black and white.
They think if you oppose the policy, you oppose giving people the choice.
I support the right to die.
What I don’t support is offering it to disabled people instead of medical treatment.

trump & co have hit the accelerator towards the end of the US as a superpower i think mainly because they believe in their own propaganda. you're meant to bluster about iran, but actually know your military couldn't take them if they stood up to you. trump is too one-dimensional for that sorta thing

only species in the galaxy good enough at throwing things to have invented something as insane as the appendage-thrown timed explosive device
Thinking of sci-fi niches for the human race that aren't "adaptable," which is the coward's choice. I feel like we'd be famous for being good physicists. Splitting the atom before sending a human into space feels like it would be a rare sequence of events.

I feel for the bluesky devs because internet moderation at any scale is a near impossible task, but if your rules create an environment where harassment is tolerated as long as you are sufficiently polite about it, you have done something wrong
Are they threatening trans users directly? No. Trans folks in the US have been targeted repeatedly. That's awful and you have my sympathy.
Within the context of a single post we wouldn't consider it a direct threat or targeting a protected category. Ie send trans folks to concentration camps.
