"The U.S. is squarely within the early to middle stages of a genocidal process against trans people, the goal of which is to completely erase transgender people not only from public life but also from existence." - The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention, 3/11/26
The Lemkin Institute has issued a *THIRD* trans genocide warning, noting the next stage is widespread containment - and this was before the 4th Circuit ruled today that states can essentially do whatever they want to make trans people "appreciate their sex".

Within just a few hours of this morning's genocide warning from the Lemkin Institute, the 4th Circuit ruled that trans adults can have our care banned and be forced by any means to "appreciate our sex", and Iowa made it ILLEGAL to protect trans people.

Exciting! This gizmo will *fly around on Saturn's planet-sized moon Titan*!
Jake Paul gets on stage at the Trump rally and has the nastiest pit stains I've ever seen
(it also appears the crowd doesn't know who he is)
I have literally never seen someone sweat through a suit like that and it makes me think he needs to see a doctor immediately
"Your own Attorney General said it!"
I am so very enraged at how Trump et al have done, & been enabled to do, such wide-ranging, impulsive, & irrational things of enormous & damaging disruption & violence.
We must build something better, no return to status quo (also not possible), & boy these chucklefucks are making that harder.
I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.
State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

I may be wrong, but it feels to me like reporters are giving Trump a lot more "Yeah, no, that's bullshit" responses now than they did just a few months ago.

Holy smoke. What ultimately happened???
This recently happened to us, with similar tells… infuriating.. you can see how it unfolded in the public peer review file: static-content.springer.com/esm/art%3A10...
<sigh>
One reviewer used AI to review our manuscript.
How do we know?
Suggested papers to cite that do not exist. Some titles correct, but everything else is wrong or just fabricated out of whole cloth.
Requested citations for things I’ve said in review papers that were citing other papers.
This week Donald Trump threatened more war crimes on the people of Iran. We're in the most dangerous phase of this crisis and pretending otherwise is reckless.
As a human rights lawyer, I break down the four plausible scenarios from here. Three are catastrophic. Only one protects humanity.
I'm using Google Translate a lot to work out how to say certain things in French and sometimes when a sentence involves the second person it chooses the wrong form for what I need (tu vs vous) but it turns out I can get it to use the desired form by ending the sentence with either "buddy" or "sir" 🙃
LANDERS: Why did the FBI seize election records in AZ?
TRUMP: They probably thought the election was rigged
LANDERS: It wasn't though
TRUMP: Oh really? How do you know?
LANDERS: Your own AG said it
TRUMP: If you say it wasn't rigged, you're a rotten reporter
LANDERS: Where's the evidence?

Billion
By Catie Edmondson
(New York Times) -- In a Capitol Hill briefing, officials gave their most
comprehensive assessment of the cost of the first six days of the war, but the
number omitted several aspects of the operation.
Pentagon officials told lawmakers in a closed-door briefing on Capitol Hill on
Tuesday that they estimated the cost of the war against Iran had exceeded
$11.3 billion in the first six days alone, according to three people familiar with
the briefing.
The estimate did not include many of the costs associated with the operation,
such as the buildup of military hardware and personnel ahead of the first
strikes. For that reason, lawmakers expect the number to grow considerably as
the Pentagon continues to calculate the costs that accumulated just in the first
week.
Still, it appeared to be the most comprehensive assessment Congress had
received so far amid mounting questions about the objectives, scope and time
frame for the war. The New York Times and The Washington Post reported
earlier that defense officials had said in recent congressional briefings that the
military used up $5.6 billion of munitions in the first two days of the war.
That is a far larger amount and munitions burn rate than had been publicly
disclosed. The Center for Strategic and International Studies had estimated that
the first 100 hours of the operation cost $3.7 billion, or $891.4 million each
day.
The first wave of the bombardment used weapons including the AGM-154 glide
bomb, which can cost from $578,000 to $836,000. The Navy …](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pnx2fjuannbdpy3337ggthpp/bafkreihcsjdum2q7hdoyqqbb5x6nhtiw3ldqmxfeuf6dutasyn2xyeecni)

$2bn/day, with $2.8bn/day in munitions alone over the first two days. I tend to think of myself as a Large Number Scale Understander but this is just mind-boggling amounts of money.
The New York Times coverage of trans issues has repeatedly resulted in experts and others complaining that their words were twisted and misrepresented... but only those quoted from on trans supportive side have that complaint.
Coincidence or eliminationism? @billiejsweeney.bsky.social dives in.
In more than half of US states, Republican and Democratic lawmakers have introduced legislation that would boost adoption of small plug-in solar panels that sit on apartment balconies and plug directly into household outlets. Canary Media buff.ly/5B79fOA #ShareGoodNewsToo
This escalated fast, in a good way.
The mayor hates his constituents that are most at risk.
"Trump gets donations, you get massive Ticketmaster surcharges — service fees, platinum fees, per-order fees, payment processing fees, facility fees, magical money-sh*tting unicorn fees — on top of already sky-high ticket prices." — @lizdye.bsky.social
Seems like a new boycott just dropped. Let's see who ends up being the CostCo to their Target.
This happend in Illinois a state that has strong legal protections for trans people, they fucked up, I hope the victom also contacted the Illinois humans right department and filed a complaint also.
