A drawing of a chonky male saiga antelope donned with a richly decorated saddle and bitless bridle, walking behind a white-haired, brown skinned elf woman.
A friend recently remarked that the saiga antelope looks like something from a fantasy tale. And yeah, it does.
A little feel good doodle of an elf and her steed heading out on an adventure, I think.

It is very easy to read statements like this as a joke.
This is not a joke.
We have proven with AI, completely by accident, what knowledgeable people have been saying for decades: the environment that rich people live in gives them a very specific personality disorder.
Rentierism is a plague.

Go on. Tell me why creatives have less value than, say bankers? I'm itching for a (respectful) argument on this one :D In the new AI world we need to find a way of keeping all on a dignified income. and guess who provides the food for AI? Clue: It's not programmers.
Honestly, it would be a terrible economic stimulus, but better than nothing.
And anything that increases the odds of the lovely fash gentlemen hitting themselves in the face is to be encouraged.

Yesterday the NHS banned all under 18 prescriptions of HRT for trans young people.
This ban was justified by 10 new studies that largely stated NO EVIDENCE for under 18s HRT exists.
The study underpinning this played one particular trick.
Let's briefly look at how the NHS rigged the game 1/5
Bats have been mentioned, which signals that it is the time of year where I regale you with the story of the time I contracted rabies in Milton Keynes...

A google maps view of the area around the Strait of Hormuz, with crude markup showing the 4 steps to successfully clearing the strait: 1. Build up speed 2. Hit Trampoline 3. Cool backflip 4. Nail the landing The boat is illustrated using a clip art yacht, and the trampoline is also just kind of floating there.
wait. wait. everyone hold on. i've solved it
(smug look) Ah, *now* who's sorry they didn't invest in my zeppelins idea? Huh? Huh?
Could have had a fleet of war zeppelins ready to carry the oil, but oooohhhh nooooooo they're (makes air quotes gesture) "explosive" and "easy to shoot down" and "a boondoggle" and "go away nerd".
Have you all heard about the time that construction on a dam in Czechia stalled and a group of 8 beavers basically finished it overnight, saving the government $1.2 million? They are literally the coolest animal on earth. www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/arti...

'claude can now research like a phd student!'
bullshit, pour a bottle of department reception red and 6 pints into that motherfucker and it ain't gonna go home and finish its chapter for tomorrow morning
Obviously yes.
And take Streeting with him.
OK but what if we got millions and millions of bats to carry the oil in tiny buckets.
I'm not sure 'millions' will actually be enough, even millions and millions. It's 3.2 billion litres! Fuck it I'm gonna calculate it.
Lets use a large bat for starters, specifically the 'great flying fox', though I will note that I think all flying foxes are pretty great. The great flying fox, or
Just some quick math, by the by.
A VLCC carries about 2 million barrels of oil per shipment. That's 84 million gallons.
The largest tanker trucks have a capacity of 11,600 gallons.
Each VLCC supertanker would need 7,241 trucks. 30+ VLCC tankers pass through the straights daily, in peacetime.
CJEU press release: Member State legislation which does not permit the amendment of the gender data of one of its nationals who has exercised his or her right to freedom of movement is contrary to EU law A Bulgarian national was registered at birth as being male, with a name, personal identification number and identity documents corresponding to that sex. She currently lives in Italy, where she has begun hormone therapy, and now presents herself as a woman. She instituted proceedings before the Bulgarian courts seeking a declaration that she is a female person and to have her civil status data amended on her birth certificate. Despite the medical opinions and legal assessments confirming the gender identity claimed, her request was rejected. According to national legislation, as interpreted by the plenary assembly of civil chambers of the Bulgarian Supreme Court of Cassation, the term ‘sex’ must be understood in its biological sense, excluding any amendment of the particulars relating to sex, name and identification number. The public interest, based on the moral and/or religious values of Bulgarian society, thus prevails over the interests of transgender persons. Hearing the dispute, the Bulgarian Supreme Court of Cassation has doubts as to the compatibility of that legislation with EU law and has referred the matter to the Court of Justice. In its judgment, the Court holds that EU law precludes legislation of a Member State which does not permit the amendment of the gender data in the civil status registers of one of its nationals who has exercised his or her right to move and reside freely in another Member State. The Court emphasises first of all that, while the issue of identity documents falls within the competence of the Member States, they must exercise that competence in compliance with EU law...
Huge trans rights ruling from the EU's top court - if someone moves to another EU country and transitions, their home country can't refuse to amend their registration details to match their lived gender identity
Like, none of the transphobes on the Nazi site seem to have realised this, but “Agent Forstater” has just completely shat on every single argument that her side make, relating to personal safety, to the threat they claim trans people present to them, and to which side is encroaching on whose spaces.
"The plans are part of a package of measures that the government wants to pass to ease the fears of police officers that they will be prosecuted after using force."
Police officers who use excessive force *should be prosecuted*.
