The University of Pennsylvania did the right thing and changed its policy, but Newsom is stubborn as heck. With all the problems facing California (immigration, crime, drugs, homelessness, etc.) and a 12 billion budget deficit, Newsom and the Dems chose to pander to trans activists.

This didn't have to happen, and it's all on Newsom and the Democrats in Sacramento. They were given the chance to comply, but flat out refused to sign a resolution agreement.

"The suit comes just days after the California Interscholastic Federation and the state’s Department of Education declined to sign a resolution agreeing to comply with the U.S. Department of Education’s push to ban transgender athletes from women’s sports.

CIF and the state Department of Education sent letters to the U.S. Department of Education declining to sign a resolution agreement on Monday, saying that they disagreed with its Office of Civil Rights’ analysis. CIF and the state Education Department declined to comment, citing pending litigation."

Here is the lawsuit,

US Sues California Over Its Refusal to Ban Transgender Athletes From Girls’ Sports

The Trump administration’s lawsuit accuses California of Title IX discrimination by allowing trans high school athletes to participate on teams that match their gender identity.

Scott Adams: “what are the odds that you would be alive at the most interesting time in human history?”

This is one of the biggest blackpills out there and Scott doesn’t realize it.

If humanity ended tomorrow, and you randomly chose a person out of all humans ever alive, there’s a very high chance that that person was alive today. Maybe 30% - 50% odds, like a bell curve.

That implies to me that we are living at peak human, just from birth time probability

New boss eyes my golf shorts, #hawaiianshirt with a cat, #sandals, and jokes "say, do we _have_ a dress code?"

"Eh. Think we do - employee manual hasn't been updated in at least a decade though, and noone has ever given me any grief, and I dance all over it in the summer. In any case, not only do I know that there ARE bodies, I know where they're buried and in most case I buried them to begin with. So if quibbling over dress code is a priority for this company we have way bigger problems."

Oklahoma's Dept of Ed will use right-wing propaganda outlet PragerU to create a test for determining eligibility to teach, measuring applicants' belief in "American exceptionalism" & acceptance of transphobic gender ideology: foxnews.com/politics/exclusive…
Surely other GOP states & Trump's DOE (using funding as leverage) will follow, making acceptance of far-right beliefs a requirement for teaching, just as it's become for hiring federal workers & allowing people from other countries to visit the US.

Red state will require new teachers pass PragerU 'America First' test to keep license

Oklahoma partners with PragerU to implement new teacher assessment to ensure educators who have relocated to the state align with its America-first educational standards.

Steam sales are now over but i managed to snag a couple more games before the end of the sale.

Painkiller Black was awesome I heard the other games were ehh.. Doom Eternal I heard great things but you gotta block the the game from connecting to the internet because it forces you to setup a stupid bethesda account otherwise. I Remember chips challenge from the 1995 pack sold with Jezzball, pipe dream so I figured why not I'll get chips challenge 2 while it's cheap.

Why recycling solar panels is harder than you might think − an electrical engineer explains

Recycling solar panels seems like a smart idea, but it’s complicated. Built to withstand years of wind and weather, solar panels are designed for strength, not easy breakdown.

I have close family members who have been diagnosed with autism, and my full-time job is being a support worker for adults who have learning disabilities and autism.
This is beyond disgusting.

Gregg Wallace is attempting to downplay his behaviour as being the fault of the BBC and MasterChef production team failing to notice that he has autism.
His friends are backing up the autism claim by saying that it prevents him from wearing underwear.

That doesn't justify sexual assault.

Mi propuesta para #mastodon es que el numero de seguidores no sea publico pq si estamos en una red social no corporativa donde no se monetizan los contenidos ¿que utilidad tiene publicar el numero de seguidores mas alla del marketing personal como si fuera un escaparate de ventas para darle mas valor al contenido en funcion del numero de seguidores?

I promise, this is not AI.

This is the real Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem claiming that the Trump administration has to deport people, because the streets of America are filled with deranged cannibals who will even try to eat themselves.

You should know that this is the same Kristi Noem who wrote a book where she claimed to have met North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un — a claim which she later had to retract.

🔵 UN's Francesca Albanese says the #US sanctions are “mafia style intimidation techniques” and vows to continue her work to remind states of their obligations to stop and punish #genocide. And those who profit from it.

Mohamed Hassan sat down with Albanese to talk about what her explosive report exposes about the world's richest companies, and how the rest of us are implicated in a system that exploits the pain of Palestinians.

My patient Ahmed, 16, arrived at Al-Shifa Hospital with a liver injury. I removed a bullet from his chest and thank God, we saved him. But he's the only survivor* from his entire family. I've been volunteering for 2 years, doing my best, even though our daily meal isn't enough for a child.

How are we in the 21st century, with human rights, child rights, and even animal rights yet we still suffer from hunger and thirst?

Illustrating every legendary creature in Wisconsin folklore: The Fish-Fox and the Fish Hound.

Both are of the "fearsome critters" from lumberjack legends, and both are domesticated critters that can help you to catch ludicrous amounts of fish!

The Fish-Fox is, as the name would imply, a combination of fox and fish. It could imitate "the sound of an angleworm" and thus lure vast quantities of fish ashore for its master.

The Fish Hound, by contrast, was neither fish or hound, but rather was a crossbreed between a mink and a helldiver grebe, and this bird-mustelid hybrid just happened to resemble a doggo by shear coincidence (but with mink fur on half its body, and helldiver feathers on the other). The Fish Hound was an expert fisher, and was extremely intelligent. You could tell it the amount of fish you wanted, the type of fish, and even the size, and within moments it would retrieve exactly what you had asked for.

Pour donner une idée du salaire annuel de base d’Anne Lafond, on s’est référé aux données les plus récentes de la SAAQ, publiées en mai dernier.

À ce moment-là, le poste de PDG de la société d’État venait avec une rémunération annuelle de 310 063 $, à laquelle peuvent s’ajouter des bonis, des primes, des frais de fonction ainsi qu’une indemnité mensuelle pour une voiture.

C’est près de cinq fois le salaire moyen au Québec, établi à 65 214 $ selon Statistique Canada.

À titre de vice-présidente aux services aux assurés et assurées, Mme Lafond touchait 242 500 $. Sa nouvelle rémunération représente donc une augmentation de quelque 67 563 $.

Anne Lafond rejoint maintenant le cercle des PDG les mieux payés à la tête d’une société d’État québécoise.

#JeanetteJara just won #Chile’s left-wing presidential primary with 60% of the vote, making her the first communist with a real shot at the presidency. If the right splits their vote in November, she could make history.

But the road ahead won’t be easy—she’s up against deep-rooted anti-communist bias and two right-wing candidates with shady family legacies.

Here's my probably unpopular opinion about a lot of recent US social media activism. If you're not willing to condemn all political parties doing a bad thing, then your complaint about only one group doing a bad thing that others also do, may actually be hollow and performative.

It probably even takes less characters to post condemning the thing itself and the institutions that allow it, then targeting only one subgroup of people doing the overall thing.

¡Abbie!

without assigning blame to a primary actor it’s hard to mobilize against it.
Ice is bad is less effective in this sense than trump is using ice to do significantly more bad even if the democrats helped along the way.

Ultimately, I’m currently in various intersections of specific people want to murder me, & almost none of them are democrats, and they certainly aren’t leading the charge. It takes way less spoons to say the GOP wants me dead than to explain politics.

This is kind of what I'm saying though

You could say: the US systemically engages in fascist policing and using state violence against poor and non-white groups, and it needs to stop

Instead of saying one political party, in this current moment is doing this bad stuff, and other sides are less bad even if they do it too, so we need to stop the thing we're seeing on news right now, but it would harm us to discuss how other groups do this or how the US has done this for centuries

I spent too much time thinking being a #kernel #dev for a #bsd project was like paramount or opus for coding in the *nix world.

Glad to be free of that idea in my brain only I planted there as a teen. Sure, I *could* move forward with being a kernel programmer if I pushed for it, but just a source of #joy

I do appreciate the OpenBSD, NetBSD, and even FreeBSD (I say even because I never really used FreeBSD in a serious context like OpenBSD and NetBSD), but I can do that without having an active part in it and still be happy letting that unhealthy bucket-list item expire.

I don't need to prove myself to anyone, I've done enough in my life so far.

At this point in life, I've definitely honed in on what brings me joy and what doesn't with technology. My career is stable and in-demand, I don't need to always be improving it.

#Retrocomputing is where it is at for me now. It's still flexing the same muscles but with greater challenges for near zero functional purpose.

Why would anyone purposefully code 8-bit computers with 64-bit ones exist now with more capabilities with hardware found everywhere for next to nothing?! 😀
