I really cannot stress enough how a decade ago private business rallied to prevent this from happening in North Carolina and now a well funded campaign against that situation means the federal government will now bar trans people from using bathrooms consistent with their identity.
Ok, no, turns out you can compact our entire culture into a few seconds.

Once I teach it to go and get the abstracts for tabs that are just arxiv papers, this might actually work…
If I go past 200, I normally have a culling ;P

Spending the evening on gov.uk trying to see if the UK government is going to wreck our holiday plans for this year (my daughter falls into a very odd loophole where she is not automatically a UK citizen, but could register as one…so does she need an ETA or not from the end of the month…)
