In years to come, the people who did this will be the ones who will go to jail.

That research is important and helps us understand the world better. Calling it "making transgender mice" is stupid and comes from a place of wanting a society that does not contain trans people. I'm not sure that being wrong about the "transgenic/transgender" thing helps, though.

I'm sorry for raining on this parade, but the "transgender mice" talking point is bullshit, but not because someone mistook "transgenic" for "transgender." The blog post that kicked it off (from a partisan bullshit website) listed a number of papers testing the effects of sex hormones on animals.

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid. So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

Elon Musk instructed federal workers to summarize their weekly accomplishments in an email, a tactic he previously used to downsize staff at X. โ€œPlease reply to this email with approximately five bullet points of what you accomplished this week and CC your manager.โ€ You know what to do...

Iโ€™m in public in the year 2025 and this old lady is just sneezing openly. She *did* say โ€œexcuse meโ€, so all good? What the fuck?!

Most people probably arenโ€™t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?
