A groundbreaking new study was just released on transition regret, the largest study ever of people who transitioned as youth.
They found out of hundreds of people, only 9 experienced "regret."
Even up to 10 years later for some respondents.

We got our fingers all over Apple's new touchscreen MacBook PROLED XDR and we have some thoughts.
The good news is that there’s no separate lid-angle sensor to worry about. We're also happy to report no software issues after swapping the logic board. The bad news is that getting to the fan and USB-C ports is quite a trek. Even worse is the soldered-on storage. It's an improvement over the M5 MacBook Pro, but a step down compared to the MacBook Neo.

The fuck in the thinly veiled threat or spectacular poor taste are they implying?
@hacks4pancakes The US Embassy is lying when it asserts that it will protect Australia from Sea-floor cable sabotage.
The only thing AUKUS will succeed in achieving is a military conflict with our largest trading partner, China, and the more enmeshed we are with the USA and its military and intelligence infrastructure on our territory, the more likely the Chinese will feel both obliged, even invited, to interfere with our interest even more than they do now.

@majorlinux Because Nintendo is famously good with it's online service offerings.
Holy shit, they called it for Scott Colom in fucking Mississippi! The state that Nina Simone famously sang about, the state of Emmett Till, now has a black senator for the first time since back when the Democrats were the bad guys.

I expected the "AI" bubble to pop because either one of the IPOs unexpectedly flopped or maybe a debt crisis cascading. It would be very funny if the actual trigger turns out to be a CEO's infidelities leading to an internal investigation discovering fireable shenanigans
This makes me teary-eyed.
A qualified Black man finally being elected as a U.S. Senator in Mississippi isn't just a normal midterm election. It is a historical, healing moment.
Congratulations, Senator-elect Scott Colom!

Know what, fuck it, adding alt text because I do love this post lmao
Why is it that so many gentile progressives either seem to explicitly attack Jewish identity in those they hate, or simply erase it in those they love.
🤔 🤔 🤔
I guess I'll never know.
This seems like a random comment, so let me offer the context.
I watch Steve Shives, an explicitly progressive Star Trek Youtuber. He did an obituary for Walter Koenig, the actor who played Chekov on Star Trek.
Walter Koenig was Jewish, and was open about his Jewishness, even going so far as to talk about it in conspicious ways to measure his safety, as he explained once in an interview.
But Steve didn't mention his Jewishness, even though he goes to great lengths to mention gender, sexual and gender diversity.
Similarly, several years ago Jose, another progressive Youtuber made a video about comic books and mentioned the struggles of women and POC, but didn't mention that the people who made most of the original comic book heroes was Jewish.
Then about two years ago he made a video about Larry David's Jewishness and in doing so, explicitly and directly mentioned his Palestinian episode of Curbed, but not much else. It was "odd" and when I confronted him on it, he became defensive.

@grishka On the other hand, your proficiency with English never ceases to amaze me. I'm always amazed when people whose native language is very different from English can have such great fluency. A Polish acquaintance told me that it's because English has a much easier grammar structure than Polish. And I'm here wishing I could speak Polish, or Hungarian, or Russian with the same proficiency! (I started a self-challenge with Korean this year, but I've been so busy I'm still learning Hangul...)
@morrick thanks! Yeah, English is indeed much simpler than Russian, but I don't have a life (yet) and people keep telling me that I've got a talent for languages, so... :)
English doesn't have cases, has a much more rigid sentence structure, but, the pronunciation is quite arbitrary at times.
