A $400 billion company just sued scientists for their peer-reviewed research revealing a safety issue, but there's been total silence from all the prominent anti-vax and anti-cancel culture people.
Gosh, it's like they're all just fronts for right-wing billionaires.
Screenshot of tweet by Dr. Helen Webberley: "The regret rate of gender-affirming surgery is 0.3%. The regret rate for knee replacement surgery is 6-30%.

I feel the need to start a campaign to start quoting wifi *quality* at places, rather than just a binary yes or no, which is not very useful if you rely on the wifi to get any work done. Rocking up at a place and finding a dodgy 1.5Mbps connection amounts to a spell in utter purgatory.
I propose using the Network Quality Score at https://speed.cloudflare.com/.

It's essential in these days of #RemoteWork
Ship's cat on HMCS Sackville, WW2.
(At least I believe it's from Sackville. That's where I found the photo. It was in their random draw full of photos found onboard, which they let me rummage through last year) #history #histodons #cats
Another #RuralBroadband installation. The place is completely surrounded by trees, so we had to go very high up to get a connection that allows comfortable #RemoteWork
I'm on the picket line outside Amazon at Hudson Yards in NYC. I've been a member of IATSE Local 700 Editors Guild since I was 22 years old in 1985. Solidarity with writers, actors, and all workers.

Hungarian authorities have fined a bookseller for selling a British graphic novel without closed wrapping - saying it breached a controversial law on #lgbt literature for under-18s.
The retailer was fined 12m forints (£27,400) for selling a #Heartstopper book without wrapping it in plastic foil.
Officials said the book depicted homosexuality and was sold to minors.

Oh wow, this is a shitstorm. Have they really just broken everyone’s CGM in the UK? This is a medical device they have just remotely broken with no warning. There must be regulations of such things… (@neil any thoughts?).
