That is, in all seriousness, the correct pronunciation for the British title. That would be the same country where Lord Byron wrote a poem called (phonetically) "Don Jewan."

She’d Never Changed Her Gender Marker. Kansas Invalidated Her License Anyway. β€” Assigned A trans Kansas resident recently changed her name but not her gender marker on her license, fearing what Kansas may do if she did. The Kansas DMV still flagged her ID.

This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker.

I have a modest request. When Iran responds with a major terrorist attack inside the U.S., could we please remember why they chose to do that?

War is not a morality play.

The relevant question isn’t: Are the targets bad people who have done bad things?

The relevant question is: Will going to war make things better, achieving something that’s worth the death and suffering it causes?

I thought my office was the Slough of Despond, and now you tell me that is actually in Michigan? I guess I have been working in the Pit of Despair for 3 years.

Fortumately we found a better vendor solution. But the "syllabi" required by law are useless for students, so still a bunch of extra work will have to happen every term.
