Neanderthals are Homo sapiens
https://whyevolutionistrue.com/2026/01/04/neanderthals-are-homo-sapiens/
> For a long time I’ve maintained that Neanderthals, which most anthropologists seem to think are a species different from Homo sapiens, in fact constituted a population that was H. sapiens. That, at least, is a reasonable conclusion if you use the Biological Species Concept, which defines populations as members of the same species if, when they meet under natural conditions in nature, can interbreed and produce fertile offspring. And we know that’s true of Neanderthals and “modern” H. sapiens, because we carry some Neanderthal genes (I have some), and that means the two groups hybridized and that the hybrids backcrossed to our ancestors—and were fertile.

> misgendering people, whether they're cis or trans, is likely to hurt them. making mistakes illegal usually involves very demanding requirements of negligence, but making willfully hurting others out of spite and prejudice illegal is a lot more reasonable
Misgendering a trans identified person hurts the same way as denying the existence of God to a believer. Misgendering is not out of spite or prejudice if done on the basis of respecting biological reality. Making it illegal is not just a violation of freedom of speech, but also of freedom of conscience

He spent 37 days in jail for a Facebook post — now FIRE has his back
https://www.thefire.org/news/he-spent-37-days-jail-facebook-post-now-fire-has-his-back
QUOTE
In September, after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Larry shared a meme on a Facebook thread about a vigil in Perry County, Tennessee. The meme quoted President Donald Trump saying, “We have to get over it” following a January 2024 school shooting at Perry High School in Iowa. The meme included the commentary, “This seems relevant today …”
Just after 11 p.m. on Sept. 21, four officers came to Larry’s home, handcuffed him, and took him to jail. He was locked up for “threatening mass violence at a school.” His bond — an astronomical $2 million!
Police justified the arrest by saying that people took the meme as a threat to their high school, which has a similar name to the one where the school shooting occurred 20 months earlier. However, police have been unable to produce any evidence that members of the public took the meme as a threat. As The Intercept noted: “There were no public signs of this hysteria. Nor was there much evidence of an investigation—or any efforts to warn county schools.”
Larry was jailed for more than five weeks. But that wasn’t the only thing he suffered. During that time, he lost his post-retirement job doing medical transportation and missed the birth of his granddaughter.

The Most Useless Piece of Parenting Advice
https://www.theatlantic.com/family/2025/11/it-takes-a-village/684835/
QUOTE
No one knows where the adage “It takes a village” came from exactly. Though it was popularized by Hillary Clinton’s 1996 book of the same name, an NPR investigation suggested that it might be “some sort of pseudo-African mix of Hallmark and folk sentiments.” But the proverb is now ubiquitous, along with its equally grating corollary, “Don’t be afraid to ask for help.” To name just one example, the American Academy of Pediatrics’ baby bible, Caring for Your Baby and Young Child, asserts “Family and friends can be helpful; don’t be bashful about asking for assistance” and “Try to create a ‘village’ around you.”
...
“It takes a village” is advice that sounds communitarian, but in fact, it pushes for an individualistic solution to a societal problem. And it can distract people from demanding the kinds of solutions that could truly help families: longer parental leave; more flexible remote-work policies; child-care support; a work culture that accepts the constancy of kids’ sicknesses. Instead, families are left to “ask for help” on their own: You find the village. You join the app. You move closer to your mom. You need to be friendlier, more active, more approachable, more involved.
Those who can cobble together a network—by virtue of luck or wealth or people skills—come out ahead. Everyone else, the “village” wisdom implies, isn’t asking hard enough.

Detransitioner Lawsuit Against Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy Is Dismissed
https://benryan.substack.com/p/detransitioner-lawsuit-against-dr
QUOTE
According to the suit, Dr. Olson-Kennedy, who is a pediatrician, prescribed Ms. Breen puberty blockers on her first visit when she was 12 years old, without ensuring that the youth first underwent a psychosocial assessment as recommended by WPATH. At the time, Ms. Breen had been wrestling with her gender for less than six months, the minimum period required for a diagnosis of gender dysphoria under the DSM-5.
Ms. Breen received care from Dr. Olson-Kennedy at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, where the physician was the head of the pediatric gender clinic.
Dr. Olson-Kennedy prescribed testosterone when Ms. Breen was 13 and then signed off on her mastectomy when the child was 14. She later encouraged Ms. Breen to undergo a hysterectomy, but by her late teens, the youth was harboring doubts about her gender-transition treatment and did not undergo the procedure.
During this period, Ms. Breen suffered from increasingly severe mental illness, contrasting with claims by leaders in pediatric gender medicine that gender-transition treatment helps mitigate psychiatric symptoms.

UN 216: Industrial land plan release ignores PT access
https://melbourneontransit.blogspot.com/2025/11/un-216-industrial-land-plan-release.html
QUOTE
Imagine a land use plan based on 100 000 new jobs by 2035 but no provision or mention of public transport.
Is this something out of California in 1965?
No, it's what passes for Victorian land use planning for jobs in 2025.
Last Sunday on the weekend before the Cup Day public holiday the Victorian state government released a 10 year plan for industrial land.
It proposed the release of 5800 hectares that would fit up to 100 000 jobs.
I looked at it to see what it said about public transport access to jobs.
I searched various relevant terms like buses.
Nothing.
Public transport access and services is not mentioned once as a consideration for industrial land.
The plan is apparently the work of the Department of Transport and Planning.
The amalgamated department has a name that implies there is some sort of coordination.
But it doesn't look like any of this happened.

That's fine. Wikipedia is free culture and it's good to take from them and adapt. The problem, as I understand from the article, is lack of transparency. What are the grokipedia changes from the the original wikipedia entries? What are the reasons for these changes? It's not really a wiki if there are no history edits for each entry. But this is all moot. The use of LLM means there's no accountability or transparency whatsoever and grokipedia is literally unusable.

> On Monday, the future glitched. Eight Sleep’s features run on the AWS Cloud, so when one of Amazon Web Services’ data centers went offline at about 3 a.m. ET, the sleep system went haywire. Eight Sleep generally warms when the user is drifting off, then gets cooler as they enter deeper sleep. Santiago Lisa, a software engineer in Pittsburgh, told me he woke up because his bed was stuck in deep-sleep frigidity. He tried to warm it up using the Eight Sleep app, but no dice—the app was down. Then he tried the system’s manual buttons. No dice there, either—they also require the Cloud to function. Jordan Arnold, who works in the video-game industry in Washington State, told me that his girlfriend couldn’t sleep because her side of the bed was stuck at its highest temperature, 110 degrees Fahrenheit. She slept on the couch. Other poor souls, who had put their bed in a sitting position to read and were now stuck there, spent the night in the world’s most high-tech Barcalounger.

One of the best rants from Gareth Roberts' book "Gay Shame":
> One last thing before we dive in on genderism. The actual mechanics of human biology are a distraction in this debate, albeit one you will see sex realists sidelined into discussing by energy vampires. It is a pointless waste of time, as productive as having an argument about the Yeti or the Loch Ness Monster. Suffice it to say, humans are a sexually dimorphic (existing or occurring in two distinct forms) species. Other species are sometimes sequential hermaphrodites, humans are not. The existence of male and female humans with developmental sexual disorders does not change that. As the commentator Ben Sixsmith has noted, ‘This kind of argument is absolutely infuriating. It’s like saying that because it’s hard to precisely define “table” – does it need four legs, a flat surface etcetera – you might as well call a fish a table.’ Neither does the fact that some men enjoy dressing in (culturally specific) women’s clothing or wearing cosmetics mean that sex is fluid and a ‘spectrum’. The existence of men adorned in ‘feminine’ garb, from Heliogabalus to Harry Styles, does not mean that humans are hermaphroditic. That would be like saying that because some humans have always occasionally dressed up as horses that humans are somehow on a spectrum of human and horse. It’s quite telling that genderists often talk about ‘transgender’ people existing throughout history. Since ‘the dawn of time’ is regularly said, as for example by Eddie Izzard in an interview in The Guardian. No sentient life, no planets, gravity still weak, the universe still expanding, stars coalescing, elements just beginning to arise from primordial chaos … and a purple-fringed person tweeting that they’re finding this whole creation thing really very transphobic.

> We present a case of peripheral precocious puberty in a 3-year-old girl due to inadvertent exposure to an estradiol gel used by her father as gender affirming hormone therapy (GAHT).
> Case description: A 3-year-old girl was referred to our pediatric outpatient clinic with breast development and vaginal discharge over a period of 6 months. The GAHT of her transgender father was estradiol spray 6.12 mg applied to both forearms daily. After 6 months this was changed to estradiol gel 3.75 mg daily for 7 months. The gel was manually applied to the chest, abdomen, shoulders, and thighs. The father reported skin to skin contact on a daily basis. A physical examination of the girl revealed a Tanner stage III for breast and Tanner stage I for pubic hair development. Height was 108.1 cm (+3,2 SD), weight 19.7 kg (+0,54 SD) and bone age advanced to 6.9 years (Greulich and Pyle). Pelvic ultrasound demonstrated increased size for age of both uterus and endometrium corresponding to Tanner stage III-IV. Estradiol was 0.04 nmol/l and GnRH stimulation test revealed a peak LH of 2.0 IU/l with a LH/FSH ratio of 0.77. MRI of the pituitary gland was normal. These clinical, radiologic and laboratory findings were consistent with a diagnosis of peripheral precocious puberty due to exogenous estradiol. The hormone therapy of the father was changed from a gel to a transdermal patch, and the girl experienced regression of breast development, normalization of growth velocity, pelvic ultrasound and GnRH stimulation test.

Kara Dansky - The Reckoning:
> But please understand that the Democrats cannot be counted on to protect abortion rights. President Barack Obama is on record in 2009 saying that protecting abortion rights was not a legislative priority for his administration. The Democrats in Congress had fifty years to codify Roe v. Wade into law and they didn’t do it.
> What’s more, abortion rights supporters on the left (including some women) are handing Republicans the talking point that “abortion is not a women’s rights issue.” Feminists have always maintained that abortion is a women’s rights issue. Yet, in 2022, anti-abortion Republican Senator Josh Hawley sparred with University of California at Berkeley law professor Khiara M. Bridges over whether it is. During a hearing on a proposal to codify Roe into law, Bridges had referred to “people with a capacity for pregnancy.” Hawley asked, “Would that be women?” Her response was that “many cis women have the capacity for pregnancy. Many cis women do not have the capacity for pregnancy. There are also trans men who are capable of pregnancy as well as nonbinary people who are capable of pregnancy.”2 This presented the perfect opportunity for Hawley to retort, “So this isn’t really a women’s rights issue?” She had no answer other than to accuse him of “transphobia.”

Stone the Crone recording: part 1 is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auM5VmF9-pY, and part 2 is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AozeRL2qx9w and together they only miss the song at the beginning.
Rukshan's stream on xitter is divided into four parts and it covers the complete event from ~20min before to ~30min after the rally and captured the faceoff of TRAs and Women's rally participants after the rally at Macarthur Street. However he got distracted by the police/TRA during the event so some speeches were in the background as he went to capture the police line.
Not necessarily in order:

So women managed to have a peaceful rally with no dramas thanks to the police keeping the TRAs away. But after women's rally ended the TRAs did their own march and all hell broke loose...
