I mean I recently went to the doctor and they said 'Oh, your blood pressure would have been fine before, but they've adjusted the guidelines and now it's a tad high.' Is this a scandal? Or is this the ordinary practice of medical science

It feels like a lot of critiques of trans care come down to 'It's not perfect and experts keep refining the best treatment practices,' which also describes ALL medical care, but since the people being treated aren't a deeply stigmatized social minority, no one freaks out about it

I have never been a supporter of Donald Trump, but if Joe Biden is unable to placate the New York Times' nepo baby publisher, I will have no choice but to vote for him for the third time.

Can't believe the well-known DNC member group known as 'the LAPD' is doing this. Next up, blaming the DNC for noted Lib, governor Greg Abbott.

TikTok’s 3 strategic comms mistakes with this video:

1) LITERALLY DOING THIS πŸ‘€

The TikTok team was so concerned with getting the words exactly right that they had the CEO read from a script. But trust is won or lost through body language β€” not words β€” and the script messed up

πŸ”Ή there's no official protocol about red carpet/no red carpet for official visits from cabinet secretaries.
πŸ”Ή Blinken's other trips globally rarely have them
πŸ”Ή whether China rolls one out or not is just their own petty little internal imaging game. No one else cares.

Both Hamas and Netanyahu opining on the Columbia protests is extremely funny. Proof if more was needed that the American Century isn’t quite over yet.
