Gender affirming care should be available to everyone, not just cis folk
Aleksandra Vaca@transiticsnews.com · 16h ago1. Good news: a federal court has restored gender-affirming care access for many trans adults! The HHS rule, which cut coverage for trans adults on ACA plans, has been permanently struck down by George H.W. Bush appointee Nathaniel Gorton, who blasted the Trump administration's illegal actions.
First off, flock cameras should be outlawed. Second, this officer probably wouldn’t have done this if life in prison were the sentence for government officials betraying the public trust.
Haines City officer used Flock cameras to track estranged wife on 717 occasions: affidavit
A Haines City police officer has been arrested after authorities said they learned he was misusing Flock cameras to track his estranged wife’s location.

Travis D. Hill, Ph.D. ☕️@travisdhill.bsky.social · 20h agoThere was a Moby Dick game that came out a decade ago that was rough around the edges and a bit of an indie gem that I really wanted to like, but it never really landed. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/14...

Nina Marotta ☢️💙@mrschief7.bsky.social · yesterdayYou're offered $250,000,000 but to claim it you must enter the last video game you've played and stay there for a full year. How are y'all faring in this deal?
I got tired of waiting for the journalists at @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social to cover this (it IS summer), but this is to say that ALL the staff members in Women & Gender Studies here were laid off last week, on the top of the cutting of 5 lecturer positions in the program last year.+

404 Media@404media.co · 2d agoSCOOP: 404 Media placed a tracking device in a shipment of rare books to see which AI company was buying it. What did we find? It ended up at an Amazon facility where Amazon scans and destroys books. Yes. This is literally the logo outside the Amazon warehouse door. Read now:
Schools. For use on children. No contradiction here: "another use of force option… preventing use of force situations."
OPD says its school resource officers have shock gloves at 29 schools and they've been used twice on students

Conflicting orders make it easier to charge with resisting arrest
Kelly@broadwaybabyto.bsky.social · 4d agoICE agents give contradictory orders on purpose. “You f*cking move I’ll f*cking tase you! Get out of the f*cking car!” It’s a no win situation. The person being violently accosted in this video is a disabled veteran. Imagine if the agents had been wearing shock gloves? Abolish & prosecute ICE
Some day, scientists tugging at threads that make up the fabric of the universe are gonna undo a seam, and in ending our universe, will create the next.
Louisa Radice@louisaradice.bsky.social · 4d agoI want to read the rest of that story. I always worry about scientists trying to ‘mimic conditions present during the Big Bang’. That seems dangerous. Was it scientists mimicking conditions in their Big Bang that led to ours?

‘apparent’ suicide
Matthew Segal@segalmr.bsky.social · 5d agoAs law enforcement relies more heavily on technology to identify suspects, a key issue will be whether courts and legislatures make law enforcement — not the misidentified suspects — bear the costs of the inevitable mistakes. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/12/u...
I think a lot of opponents miss that there’s a need for those alternatives structures. They think “without cops, who will arrest the homeless people and get them off the streets?” The answer is ‘nobody’, but we will find ways to get them off the streets, housed and jobbed. Thats what needs to happen
Barely a blip in their budget that WE pay for.
Kyle Cheney@kyledcheney.bsky.social · 6d agoA federal judge in Washington state has sanctioned ICE $5,000 in compensatory damages and $11,000 in attorneys fees for illegally transfering a man twice in violation of her orders. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Patrick Chovanec@prchovanec.bsky.social · 6d agoThis is absolutely ridiculous. For all its potential pitfalls, the Ford aircraft carriers are built entirely around the EMALS system, and "replacing" it with steam catapults - which require large amounts of space and personnel - is simply not a realistic option. www.wsj.com/us-news/trum...

Chris Morran@themorrancave.bsky.social · 6d agoThe AAU promised to create a hotline for players and parents to report abuse. But calls to that number are redirected to the AAU’s general office line with no option to report abuse — though callers can press 5 to reach a department for “medal orders.” New @propublica.org

TJ Otter@tifotter.bsky.social · 7d ago🚨 UNSAFE & INHUMANE: This ICE flight on Friday, August 7th out of SLC had no air conditioning. It was 103°F here that day, and 104°F in Mesa, AZ where it went next. When it later arrived in Harlingen, TX, ICE/ERO went through passenger belongings & helped themselves to money and jewelry. #ICEflights

I just read the introduction and first chapter of the Last of The Mohicans. It’s definitely quite floral, but easily understood, vivid, and engaging. I would not enjoy having AI fuck that up for me
