For anyone who doesn't want to click through, she had two very dangerous cancers detected through regular endocrinology lab screenings and during FFS, respectively.
Personally I wish the US was a country that prioritized regular in depth health screenings for everyone, but I'm really glad she was able to get the treatment she needed to survive through transitioning!
Legitimately I expect to see the McRib back within the month with this news
This is really really significant, especially with the other news of arresting Judge Hannah Dugan for opposing an ICE kidnapping in her courtroom. The legal system is forcing them to at least slow their destructive policy implementation and they don't like that.
Every new step is testing the waters of what the people will accept. They've already backtracked on things that were sufficiently unpopular. We need to push back hard, now. Call your reps, get in the streets, say Judge Hannah Dugan's name.
Protip: if you're going to vandalize Nazi shit, write out "Nazi" instead of a swastika to differentiate from pro-Nazi graffiti
Do they think trans people stop being nerds upon coming out? Lmao someone needs to go to MTG draft night at the local card shop

It is a useful reminder that people with autism are in danger with this regime in power. And anyone who needs vaccinations (everyone).
AI trash
The R^2 is trash, this is just a very squished cloud
Bad news, TYT are also transphobic 🙃
Last I'd heard his lawyers can't even find which facility he's in, so, yeah, this is not unlikely
Look up v-coding if you want your day ruined. This is an act of violence.
Fields of Mystria is a Stardew-like that plays excellently on the steam deck!
Just so you know, someone isn't "really nice" if they make jokes like that. Maybe she used to be nice, but she isn't acting that way now.
I'm not sure how old you are, but it sounds like you're both still teenagers or maybe young adults. People are trying to figure themselves out at that time, and sometimes what they try out is edgelord (especially when the edgelords are gaining political power). She may be testing boundaries of what is socially acceptable, in which case it's in her best interests as well as yours to gently push back against this kind of behavior (or more forcefully later if she doesn't take a hint).
Something like, "hey, it makes me uncomfortable when you make those 'identify as' jokes. You know I'm nonbinary and that sort of humor makes me feel like you don't respect me. I fully support your identity, including your faith, and as your friend I hope you would do the same for me."
Even if you are 1-on-1 for that chat, she is almost certainly going to respond negatively to that, so I would drop it there, but be prepared to remind her that you don't like it later. Ideally after some reflection she wakes up and realizes she's causing harm to your friendship, but be prepared to break it off entirely with her if she doesn't want to treat you with respect.
This post is less than half an hour old, can you let people see it first before complaining of silence?
It shows up as "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)" outside of the US apparently. That seems like enough to make a fuss to me; bodies of international water have specific rules around name changes and the US can't unilaterally decide differently.
On your last point, I'm surprised that Musk isn't more visibly worried about assassination attempts. He's really not making friends with anyone in government or otherwise, and the one guy backing him is a bad mood away from testing his full immunity powers and seizing several billions for himself. Like, if I had that kind of fuck off money, I sure wouldn't be putting my neck on the line for this.
