Right? At first I read it as $10k/month and even that seems pretty cushy, especially when you’re talking about just living on and not trying to save for the future.

In a newspaper column on Friday (16 December) comparing Meghan to serial killer Rose West, Clarkson said he lies awake at night dreaming of “the day when she is made to parade naked through the streets” while people “throw excrement at her”.

A lot of people feel the same way about him. Except the naked part.

In a complaint filed today in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, the government alleged that Epic Games designed and marketed Fortnite for use by children. The government further alleged that Epic Games possessed actual knowledge that it collected personal information from children, including their names, email addresses, and identifiers used to keep track of players’ progress, purchases, settings, and friends lists. Epic Games nonetheless failed to notify parents that it was collecting children’s personal information and to obtain verifiable parental consent for that collection, as required by the COPPA Rule. The government further alleged that Epic Games maintained default privacy settings that were unfair under Section 5 of the FTC Act, in that the default privacy settings publicly broadcast child and teen Fortnite players’ display names and put children and teens in direct, real-time communication with adult Fortnite players.

Oh dear. I’ve rather put my foot in it. In a column I wrote about Meghan, I made a clumsy reference to a scene in Game of Thrones and this has gone down badly with a great many people. I’m horrified to have caused so much hurt and I shall be more careful in future.
No, Jeremy, we saw exactly what you did there. There was no clumsiness at all: you expertly evoked a very specific image, even for people who haven’t watched Game of Thrones. It was the image which “has gone down badly”, not your “clumsy reference”.
I also note, Jeremy, that there’s regret expressed, but not even a hint of an apology. Again, you’re not a bad writer, so I am forced to assume that you did that deliberately too.

After a girl beat their daughters in sports, Utah parents triggered investigation into whether she was transgender
Nobody could have predicted!
“ Spatafore said the association has received other complaints, some that said “that female athlete doesn’t look feminine enough.”
The association took “every one of those complaints seriously. We followed up on all of those complaints with the school and the school system,” he said during an update on HB11, a ban on transgender girls from participating in female school sports, which was passed during the final hours of the 2022 General Session.
“We didn’t get to the parents or the student simply because if all of the questions about eligibility were answered by the school or the feeder system schools, there was no reason to make it a personal situation with a family or that athlete.”“
And a number of reports- but all false & based upon stereotypes. I’m sure that some also included racism, because America.

As always, it’s not about trans kids, it’s about limiting options for women and girls and punishing those who don’t fit their stereotype.

Oh, good thing for that student that this was nothing personal. 
Fuck.

I would disagree that it’s not about trans kids and adults. It certainly is.
It’s just not only about trans people. And harms a lot more people than just trans people.

truth.
no one should ever forget that this is only an interlude to a wider push (putsch?) on folk who just “don’t conform” to some rigid bullshit ideal of “gender norm” , “masculinity” or total binary subjugation. and i say that fully realizing that that same hate will even come for me, some family and many, many friends.
