  • The Department of Defense will resume providing gender-affirming care for transgender service members, according to a leaked memo obtained by Politico.

    It’s “an embarrassing setback to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s efforts to restrict their participation,” the outlet reports.

    The Defense Department is complying with a court order that found the restrictions on trans service members unconstitutional. Federal judges have blocked the ban in two separate lawsuits, and one appeals court has denied the department’s request to lift the block while legal challenges proceed. Donald Trump’s administration has now appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

    “Service members and all other covered beneficiaries 19 years of age or older may receive appropriate care for their diagnosis of [gender dysphoria], including mental health care and counseling and newly initiated or ongoing cross-sex hormone therapy,” Dr. Stephen Ferrara, the acting assistant secretary of Defense for health affairs, said in the memo obtained by Politico. It was dated Monday. This returns the department to its trans-inclusive policy implemented during Joe Biden’s presidency.






  • Tonight’s the night that we got the truck
    We’re going downtown, gonna beat up drunks
    Your turn to drive, I’ll bring the beer
    It’s the late, late shift, no one to fear

    And ride, ride, how we ride
    And ride, low ride

    It’s a roundup time where the good whores meet
    We’re gonna drag one screaming off the street

    And ride, ride, how we ride

    Got a black uniform and a silver badge
    We’re playin’ cops for real, we’re playin’ cops for pay

    Let’s ride, low-ride

    Pull down your dress, here’s a kick in the ass
    Let’s beat you blue till you shit in your pants
    Don’t move, child, got a big black stick
    There’s six of us, babe. So, suck on my dick!

    And ride, ride, how we ride
    Let’s ride, low ride

    The left newspapers might whine a bit
    But the guys at the station, they don’t give a shit
    Dispatch calls, “Are you doing something wicked?”
    “No, siree. Jack, we’re just givin’ tickets!”

    Let’s ride, ride, how we ride
    And ride, ride, how we ride
    And ride, ride, how we ride
    Let’s ride, low ride




  • Are you able to get an opinion from someone else (like a teacher) about the people your friends are warning you about?

    I’m not sure how your friends are able to make such a blanket judgement.

    Even if they have good intentions, and even if those people could end up mistreating you, it’s rarely a waste to try to make connections. Even if the connection is just a flop. You really can’t know people unless you spend a lot of time with them.

    If you want to try to make connections with the people your friends are warning you about, just tell them, “Thank you, but I’ll give them a chance and make up my own mind about them.”




  • Die Berliner steigen immer seltener ins Auto, zeigt eine umfangreiche Studie. Aber Radverkehr und ÖPNV nehmen nicht weiter zu. Ein Experte fordert daher ein Ende des bisherigen Nahverkehrsausbaus.

    Der Autoverkehr verliert in Berlin immer weiter an Bedeutung. Zugleich gehen die Berliner so viel zu Fuß wie lange nicht. Das geht aus den neuen Daten der Studie „Mobilität in Städten“ hervor, die die Senatsverkehrsverwaltung auf ihrer Internetseite veröffentlicht hat.

    Die Großstudie der Technischen Universität Dresden untersucht bundesweit, wie sich die Menschen in deutschen Großstädten fortbewegen. Für die aktuelle Untersuchung wurden von Anfang 2023 bis 2024 bundesweit mehr als 280.000 Menschen zu ihren täglichen Wegen befragt.
