Unfitforpurpose

UwwaAAAAAAAAA I never expected a writeup in Aftermath! Thank you!

it's not that I think this is the worst thing happening right now or the one that's genuinely causing me most psychic pain, but the profusion of gambling ads on streaming is really making me both very angry and very sad. the fuck are we doing

Anti-trans hate groups petitioning FDA for registry of trans women, crackdown on transition, newly revealed document shows In the short term, this is not as dangerous as an outright ban on estrogen. If implemented and then combined with other methods of suppressing trans people, it might be far more destructive in the lon...

An assortment of groups has submitted a set of awful proposals to the FDA concerning estrogen as HRT. theneedlenews.com/anti-trans-h...

Public comment is still open. If you comment opposing these proposals and send me a screenshot, I'll draw you a sketch in this thread (link+examples below).

This is the best lede I've seen in a tech story in...years? There should be an award just for ledes.

Nobody has cancelled Morrissey more than Morrissey has cancelled Morrissey

It's giving reeducation camps.

"there are hardly any excesses of the most crazed psychopath that cannot be easily duplicated by a normal, kindly family man who just comes into work every day and has a job to do." Is the line of his that's haunted me the most.

What’s your sign ?

I Watched 6 Hours of DOGE Bro Testimony. Here's What They Had to Say For Themselves The hours of videos provide fascinating, or perhaps horrifying, insight into the thinking of someone inside DOGE.

Astroturfing sales for books and events is a pretty mainstream play for far right money at this point. Never heard of this one in particular but it's how they roll.

Same for Palantir - they should not be offered contracts by govt departments or agencies in the UK which gives them leverage over critical state functions. It's an overtly evil organisation run by fascists.

I’ve received some incredible generosity on here lately and I would really like to pay it forward a little.

Can we work together to get this funded? They’re only asking for $3000 and they’re 2/3 of the way there

Grim stuff. If you want more babies born in this country you either support wide ranging IVF and fertility treatment for everyone, including 'non traditional' parents, or you're not serious

I’m sorry, the suffering is infinite and things are genuinely fucking dire, but it is truly hilarious that the nazis ran into the middle east while screaming “logistics and diplomacy are fake and gay” and now they’re trying to ask everyone else to fix the strait of hormuz because tfw no more THAADs

*takes a long drag from cigarette rolled using the ashes of a long dead twitter account*

Yup.

My gosh. The Israeli Defense Minister also openly says here that the role of the Israeli military's legal system is "to protect and safeguard" soldiers — not to hold them accountable, for instance, when they rape someone on camera:

(not least because the old school version is where he was the most fun running the place)

Aye, the stadium build is as good a shout as any for the timing. But wherever you put it (hell, go as far back as Comoli) he can see where the future of the game is going but can never nail the execution and keeps reverting to old school stuff before trying again.

You could put the butterfly point at a few places but in the end it's Levy's failure to transition to a consistent new model of recruitment/analysis. The current mess is just a side effect.

Israeli military drops charges against soldiers charged with abusing Palestinian prisoner The Israeli military says it is dropping charges against five soldiers who were accused of sexually abusing a Palestinian detainee in an encounter partially caught on camera.

BREAKING: The Israeli military says it is dropping charges against five soldiers who were accused of sexually abusing a Palestinian detainee.

Have Tottenham made a single successful signing in the last decade, Reno? Who can say.

By "vocationally trained, working class, often male voters" he means his drug dealers. The fact they all went to stanford can let this one slip by you.

Been a while since I read a Liew piece that was full of self indulgent crap but the latest was right up there with his best. Like a well aged Ronay.

I have a question though. Why didn’t anyone hit him with a steel chair?

Kessler Syndrome? I hardly knew her!

You would have to be insane to use this.

So I suppose that's one successful diagnosis

Just think of the history memes 50 years from now as our descendants try to comprehend how it came to this.

Performative gender studies memes.

Although, if I remember correctly, the increased amount of hugging goes hand in hand with an increase in terrible violence inflicted upon each other. Much to ponder.

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
