You have been sentenced to death in a magical court. The court allows all prisoners to pick how they die and they will carry it out immediately. You have it all figured out until the prisoner before you picks old age and is instantly transformed into a dying old man. Your turn approaches.

Former Minnesota Vikings punter, Chris Kluwe, who was blacklisted from the league for standing up for marriage equality, speaks at a city council meeting where he calls Trump a Nazi. He is subsequently arrested and carried out by police.

"The trannies should be able to piss in whatever toilet they want and change their bodies however they want. Why is it my business if some chick has a dick or a guy has a pie? I'm not a trannie or a fag so I don't care, just give 'em the medicine they need."

"This is an LGBT safe space. Of COURSE I fully support individuals who identify as transgender and their right to self-determination! I just think that transitioning is a very serious choice and should be heavily regulated. And there could be a lot of harm in exposing cis children to such topics, so we should be really careful about when it is appropriate to mention trans issues or have too much trans visibility."

One of the above statements is Problematic and the other is slightly annoying. If we disagree on which is which then working together for a better future is going to get really fucking difficult.

Think of the most bicyclist unfriendly urban section of road you can. Somewhere that even your most enthusiastic bicycling friends are careful on. Now imagine that road if you just removed every car. Keep the delivery vans, the trams, buses, motorcycles, scooters, crazy pedestrians and bicyclists, just remove the cars. No parked cars, no moving cars, no cars waiting at traffic lights. In such a circumstance, would that road still be "too dangerous" to cycle on?

We're so used to assuming that cars belong on streets, and that everything else is essentially borrowing space. But that's a category error.

I know it's not cool to remind folk that we're in an ongoing pandemic, but while COVID doesn't reset the immune system like measles, it can turn on and off certain genes in stem cells, altering how your immune system behaves in future.

The late 2000s to mid 2010s had at least these achievements:

- the internet became less hostile to queer people existing

- the internet and society became more aware of (and less hostile to) trans people existing

- countries were at least discussing legalising same sex marriage

- tech and many hobbiest conferences and online communities started to embrace codes of conduct

- income and wealth inequality was a mainstream conversation

- racism and its harms was a mainstream conversation

- it still felt possible that we could avoid the worst of climate change

- there was movement against sexual harassment and assault in workplaces, there were cases against the churches and other institutions for the sexual abuse of children and other vulnerable people

- it felt like there was reason to be hopeful

None of these things were perfect. Homophobia, biphobia, transphobia and racism were still big problems, but the bigots were beginning to be careful about who heard them spout off.

Codes of conduct weren't (and aren't) always enforced and when they're enforced it isn't always to protect the vulnerable.

Then the wealthy fought back with Brexit, Trump's first term and the rise of authoritarianism across the globe. They forced inaction on climate change and suppressed worker wages. This took away a lot of the gains we had made. Now wealth inequality is even worse, and the richest man in the planet has bought the USA government.

am taking perverse pleasure in reminding people it's 2025. that's a star trek year. silly little science fiction number. except it's happening, and DANG ain't it underwhelming!

I cannot express how important it is to brush your teeth and floss regularly. It's especially important as so many people don't have dental coverage and that preventative work saves you so much pain and money in the long run. I know it sucks and it is so hard, but you'll also feel so good after doing it. And when you start doing it regularly, you'll find your mouth and gums feel so much better. If you've already done it today, good job! I'm so proud of you and so happy for you!
