He could have also read credible, peer-reviewed studies to find out all.of the conditions that must be met before any AMAB athlete must meet before being allowed to compete with AFAB athletes. The combination of testosterone blockers and estrogen greatly reduces whatever advantage men may have. There is no place where someone AMAB can just show up and say he's a woman to compete with women. And through all of this debate no one gives any thought to the transmen who are competing with men. If someone so strenuous believes there are only two genders despite all the science to the contrary, then why are they not advocating for them to be competing with their assigned gender at birth. Or expecting them to use the women's restroom. If men are such predators, shouldn't they be protected just like all other AFAB individuals?

For me, it's not the gerbil but Stephanie targeting the janitor's kid who lost his mom.

It might have been Stephen Miller. Apparently, his wife worked with DOGE and Musk enough that she quit her White House job to work for Elon full-time. Talk about a throuple from hell (though the thought of Stephen getting cuckolded by a man with an alleged botched penile implant is rather amusing).

As much as I want term limits on all positions, there's a lot of stuff members of the house do for their constituents that require stability. Your representative is supposed to be your advocate when you have issues with various federal agencies and have dedicated staff for this purpose. Limiting the number of years a person can be in the House means limiting the number of years that person's staff can make the necessary connections within the federal government. People would suffer. And I don't know how to reconcile the work congressional staffers do with term limits because the person in charge is going to want their people handling things. I do agree with shortening the primary calendar and the time between primaries and November. A year is way too long.

With the way our current government is set up, there is very little incentive for judges to side with Trump once they have been appointed and confirmed in their positions. Judgeships are for life while presidents come and go. They can kiss his ass to get the nod, then do whatever they want. And they are not going to sit idly by while Trump takes away the powers granted to them by the Constitution nor allow Trump to trample the powers granted to Congress by the Constitution. It is in their best interest to uphold it, and not give into a wannabe tyrant who's about to turn 79. Amy Comey Barrett will be on the Supreme Court long after Trump dies. And I don't think Trump can ever grasp this concept. That other people can use him just like he uses people and he cannot do anything about it.

I would love some short videos dedicated to "where are they now" with these characters. Just spitballing, but one where the Rebels liberate Narkina and Dedra. Maybe Wil and Kleya make an appearance or even Bix as the Rebels decide what to do with the prison population. I know in The Mandalorian we see the amnesty program the new government set up for old Imperials, but how does that really go down when the Imperial in question actively harmed our heroes?

They are using AI here. Because, you know, it's the future. There's no need for scientists to run tests and write papers, AI will do it for you. /s

I do remember JKR's response to why Depp was cast in the Fantastic Beasts series and it boiled down to her remembering how hot he was in the 80s. I guess she was able to forget about "Wino Forever" Depp.

I am aware of Blake and some of the things she has done previously like her plantation wedding, and being totally delusional about her ability to sell a haircare line. But, I can still see her faults and believe her here. She's a bitch, but even bitches deserve to not be sexually harassed at work.

They did one better. Charles and Camilla came to open the Canadian parliament today. There's really no better way to tell Donald "thanks, but we'll stick to the Commonwealth" than a visit from the king.

Abolishing the minimum wage is a little bit further down on the agenda. The whole point of bringing in undocumented immigrants to work is that they will work for less pay in conditions US citizens would never. The next best thing to undocumented immigrants is prisoners, so the federal government will have to look for ways to increase prison populations to meet the demands of the 1%. Some state governments will also get into this. And one of the first things the feds will do is criminalize homelessness, and round up all the people who cannot afford rising housing costs.

Nah. Influencer is the new career choice for those who want money and fame without having to do any work. Twitch or whatever other platform streamer is also popular because those guys get paid to play videogames all day.

Yes.

Once I saw what Lauren looks like, I have ceased to give a shit about her opinions and rantings. I know this may come off as misogynistic, but that woman chose to get filler and actively chooses to apply her makeup each and everyday. I am judging her choices here, and they are highly questionable.

It would be very easy to tweak the electoral college to where each candidate gets a number of EC votes in proportion to the popular vote. So in a state like NC where Trump got 51% of the vote he would get 9 of the 16 electors and Kamala would get the other 7. But, a straight popular vote for a presidential election would still be fair. It's the only election where we don't do it. Elections get weird, and people are more than capable of voting for any and all political parties or not voting in a race. Again taking North Carolina, voters here are more than willing to vote for a candidate regardless of party affiliation. Currently, I am represented by both Republicans and Democrats in a heavily gerrymandered state. No one is going to suddenly become more disenfranchised by switching how we do a presidential election than how it happens now.
