The Trump Administration Admits to Medically Experimenting on Trans People in Prisons

The Trump administration admits to testing conversion therapy on trans prisoners and implies its policy of forcibly detransitioning trans men in prisons has the aim of preserving their fertility.

Taking away women's rights & reproductive choices isn't just about abortion. It's about things like this. Removing choices about how to give birth. The state enforcing its will on our bodies. Predictably, they're running the play on Southern BW first bc they know no one will care til it's too late.

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

I've started to play with lazy imports thanks to my WASI build script being in CPython's repo, and so I wrote a post about how to adapt your code for running subcommands with argparse to play nicely with lazy imports. snarky.ca/subcommands-...

Subcommands with lazy imports

In case you didn't hear, PEP 810 got accepted which means Python 3.15 is going to support lazy imports! One of the selling points of lazy imports is with code that has a CLI so that you only import co...

my Jeol JSM-5600LV SEM used to at least try to *start* to pump down, now it opens V5 and V8 and bails out just seconds after 😢

FWIW, it seems like the car doesn't need the ECU at all 🙃. it starts and runs without it, since it's a diesel and the injection pump is mechanical, from what I can tell the ECU basically only reads the speedometer and revolution sensors and sends that data to the dash

Laíns ⚡🌈🇵🇸@missingclara.bsky.social · last yr.

the only manual I was able to find was for the 2002 TDi version, whose wiring is slightly different, and uses a different ECU, which from what I can tell is very basic and does not provide any sort of diagnostics (P/N 23710-0F003, which is a Zexel 479651-9502 under the hood, see pics.)
