Paul Maidment, the new owner, expressly forbid any acknowledgement or obituary pieces from being written. Bastard.

Wow, Paul Maidment's an extra special piece of shit today

Nobody fought for sex segregated spaces, dummy. There’d have to be dna checks to filter out intersex and more specifically XY women. Sex based on genotype is a remarkably unhelpful metric, and as for sex based on phenotype... phenotype is both pretty wide ranging and malleable. The only person your sex matters to is…

Same rights as anybody else my trans ass. The Equality Act’ll fix that up and these chodes are terrified of it. This is an “all lives” argument with the same subtext that *all* rights are problematic and should be as restricted as possible.

Blackout. Drunk. The "oOoO gay" stuff is context for why it wasn't looked at properly, but the core of the story is a clear rape. There's no point in trying to diminish that.

Sure, but also counterpoint: The Boys is an extraordinarily distressing show which ruined my week when I tried to watch it. I normally have a strong stomach for violence etc, but this show... I’ve never actively recommended people avoid watching something like this before. Don’t watch it.

His name in japanese is Onion! Allister also looks super nonbinary to me to the point that watching the trailer I thought to myself “wow, nintendo really put a nonbinary character in sword&shield". Even if he's not, I love his style sooo much!

I have to admit, all the tweets are [header overflow] and I can’t complain all that much

My sibling and I played a metroidvania named Lost Winds on the Wii like that! Character control was on the nunchuk, and wind control was a pointer on the screen with the remote proper, and we had to work together to handle the puzzles and combat. Splitting controllers is really fun sometimes

Fixing the housing shortage has to be done, regardless. Both providing much needed housing and reparations are the bare minimum of what the government is obligated to do to treat its citizens with respect, and I wouldn’t want to overlap them such that fresh housing is black only (seems... awfully like creating…

They already have the balls, too. They're putting english books and soccer balls in storage to avoid anyone being able to use them!

In the case of food deserts, telling the corner stores to stock real food would still be necessary. This rule change will hit people hardest where no amount of cash would be able to find a vegetable to buy.

I mean... if it works, great. I don’t see any way it could be worse than mass incarceration. If he’s cool with similar plans sending people to his city, then I don’t have a problem with the concept.

Yeah. When you "can't atone" for something, that's no excuse to do nothing. It means you never *stop* atoning. Those idiots may well be right that there's no atoning for the past of the USA, but it's about damn time to start working on it.

This story made me feel nice inside. Trans rights are human rights. I really hope Gavin wins his case, we're going to need all the precedent we can get.

Thanks for the detail. I know the situation isn’t a lawless hellscape, I just got in a ranty mood. I’m glad to hear affordable housing usually works alright.

If this is how it’s going to go, replacing housing space 1:1 with larger buildings to hold the market rate units, NYCHA had better keep a close fucking eye on the companies running them. I do not trust private companies with any manner of monopoly, and the threat of losing your home when you can’t afford to pack up…

Also a reminder that the owners of Carl’s Jr want to abolish the minimum wage or replace the entire store staff with robots. Their politics are abhorrent to the point I can’t make myself eat a Carl’s Jr burger even if someone else already bought and paid for it.

Can we get a followup article on this once the public comment period has begun? I’ll submit my complaint either way but it’s public knowledge from the Net Neutrality comment periods that they don’t have to read layperson submissions, only legal arguments. Bulk is all we’ve got, unfortunately.

You dumbass, you just told all binary and nonbinary people to seek mental help. That’s every single person on the planet. Therapy’s great and all, but the offices will get a bit busy with those kind of numbers.
