"My team will get to the bottom of how this clandestine network of clinics has subjected children to puberty blockers and irreversible surgery, often without parental consent,” he wrote in a statement.
Ffs, he makes it sound like toddlers are getting snatched off the streets to get "trans'ed".
Give me one fucking case anywhere in this state where a minor was given surgery without parental consent. Go ahead, I'll wait.
I'm in DC for a work thing and was shocked to see a TV ad extolling the virtues of TikTok. It basically followed the story of wounded purple heart Grandpa who needed a new scooter. The family tried everything but couldn't afford it and then... they took to tiktok. Holy shit! They were able to afford a scooter after donations rolled in! Isn't tiktok amazing?
It didn't specifically end with a call to congressman to stop the ban, but you could tell that's what they were going for.
Where an animal is camera trap shy or camera trap happy, detection probability is compromised and the assumptions of the method cannot be met. Even the study of animal behavior can be compromised if an animal exhibits atypical behavior (Gibeau and McTavish 2009). Attraction of certain species and individuals to our camera traps would confound assumptions of some other population estimators (Table S2) because the device effectively becomes a lure (Foster and Harmsen 2012).

I gotchu fam.
Granted I don't know if it's the same kind of trap happy, but at least it's a phrase in one research paper.
Cripes. Why did anyone think this was necessary.
What I don't get about the fundies that think IVF is against god's will - what about any other scientific breakthrough? What about antibiotics? Cars?
Hell, every time you fly you're effectively spitting in the face of the "Almighty".
Ah, but see, it is cruel. So in the conservative mind it's okay.
By all means, let's vote for the eloquent Trump instead. /S
At least Biden won't gaffe his way into outlawing BIPOC from existing or inspire domestic terrorism with his words.
As god intended! /s
By all means, let's force people through the trauma of knowing their kid will only live at most 16-18 months and will probably bankrupt the family with medical bills.
The cruelty here is off the charts (as the gop intended).
Almost all of my own padlocks have been picked, save for just two, the ABUS 64TI/40 and the Master lock LOTO. Still relatively new to the tubular lock game, so the yellow Urban bike disk brake lock as also eluded me.
I found getting the two cut away locks helped immensely - the American helped me really hone in on how over setting pins feel, and the Sparrow (after disassembling and putting in some of their advanced driver pins) showed how I was accidentally picking more than one pin with my older/bad technique.
If anyone has suggestions for the Titanium or LOTO locks, I'm all ears!

Teletubbies made of wet spaghetti, horror realistic night time Christmas holiday
I find pasta makes everything weird and fun.
Prompt: Santa eating cookies by the fireplace at Christmas, but the cookies are made of spaghetti
Not quite what I wanted, but that pasta beard tho.
I would be happy with just one loss that actually sticks.
I feel like all I read is, "Trump is really in trouble this time!" - but all I actually hear is Waylon Jennings saying, "Boy that Donald sure is in a heap ah trouble."
Unfortunately, AI is only as good as it's training data. If there are biases in the training data, those biases shine through later.
AI is interesting but not a silver bullet.

Of course my shit hole state would have not one, not two, but three horrible people vying for governor.
