David Attenborough [whispering]:
“As the predators close in on their helpless prey, we can only watch in silent horror, for it is not man’s role to interfere in the hierarchy of nature.”
Today is shaping up to be a real peach!
Whatever you’re up to, wherever you are, I hope your day blossoms beautifully!

Americans: we live in a fallen state—embroiled by sin, cheating, lying, and evil. You cannot trust anyone, not even those who claim to know you best

if you think the greatest threat to effeminate gay boys is the trans movement and not the cis straight men who overwhelmingly exclude and brutalize them then you should walk into the ocean immediately

Quite rare to see a chart that says quite so overtly that no one involved has the slightest clue what’s happening here
Watching dystopian sci-fi movies as a kid: Uh, major plot hole here. Are we supposed to believe the human race would be dumb enough to allow robots to become its master?
Watching the world today: Oh.
We're fucked.

This one hits hard.
If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle.
It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get.

One of the most toxic ideas is so-called ‘Gender Critical Ideology’. This false conspiracy theory believes that trans ppl are not real & should not have human rights*. To get an idea of how extreme this is, read the link in Lee’s post & replace the word trans with Jew. It’s disturbing.

Gender-affirming surgeries were associated with a reduction in mental health treatment.

Mental health prescription utilization also decreased for chest surgery recipients [1.26 (95% C| 0.42; 2.10) fewer prescriptions at five years] but were not significantly different to the reference period for genital surgery recipients [0.01 (95% CI -1.03; 1.06) at five years].

Gender-affirming healthcare doesn’t just save lives, it saves money, and on a much shorter timescale than you might think. New peer-reviewed research…

Alcohol is legal. Kids are not drinking in playgrounds. Tramodol and other prescription painkillers are legal. There aren't gangs of kids getting smashed on tramodol under fly overs.
The point is regulation.
Just to be clear, I'm not worried that you'll make a bad thing. Just that whatever comes out is going to be awesome in the shock and awe "Look on my works, ye Mighty!" sense.
