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 โ€˜sexโ€™ 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

The Macbook Neo seems cool and all but the thing I'm worried about is long term support. One of Apple's biggest strengths is it's software support. By limiting the RAM and stuff, I worry that customers will get a much shorter length of support.

No way to predict this, says Government of nation whose media outlined exactly this scenario 16 months ago.

Ditto makes a lovely perfect path directly to the pokemon center
Zoom out and Torkoal is climbing a big pile of rocks slightly to the right of the path: "oh no this is far too bumpy"

Govt looks to market to reach 10,000 EV charger goal Transport officials warn without more government money the country wonโ€™t reach its 2030 goal for EV chargers

Guess what? The Govs promise of 10,00 EV chargers was a LIE!?

The pokemon in pokopia only use the name your trainer gave you when you're friends. Does that make the pokemon name like a family surname?

Hipkins: On balance, NZ's Covid response one of the world's best

This headline also from Stuff: Hipkins said this, yes.
However, he's saying it because it's a direct quote from the Royal Commission report, it's not just like, his opinion man.

so the third episode of oreimo is titled There's No Way My Little Sister Can Be This Cute and the series title translates to basically the same thing but after the third episode kyosuke never seems to think kirino is cute ever again. what happened? is there really no way his little sister is that cute? did he give up on her cuteness? every episode after is titled something like There's No Way My Little Sister Can Do XYZ and every episode she does XYZ suggesting that there is a way his little sister can be that cute. but what's the point in that? where's the conflict? either kyosuke has accepted that his little sister can be that cute, in which case, end the series. there's nothing more to be discovered. the sky is blue, microplastics pollute my bloodstream and kirino kosaka is cute. it's just a fact we have to accept at that point. but what if there really is no way his little sister is that cute? what if it's impossible for his little sister to be as cute as he seems to try to deny she really is? in that case, i'd have to ask, why is he lying to himself? what's wrong with his little sister being that cute? why is kyosuke kosaka incapable of accepting that kirino kosaka might in fact (yes, in fact) be cute? what happens after that acceptance that he's so afraid of? is it worth lying to yourself for the rest of your life like that?

Well with Zeztz getting a second OP hopefully they fix the long awkward shot where he walks up to the camera with nothing happening for like ten seconds. They'll fix that, right? ... Right?
