   But this isn't a story about – let's say – Dr Upton's collection of garden gnomes; in such a case, we'd be happy to indulge his chosen pronouns. It is coverage of an employment tribunal, a specialist court held before a judge. People's livelihoods are at stake here.

   In court stories, accuracy matters above all else (as I and many other journalists before me have found out to our cost) and so we believe the most accurate way of describing Dr Upton is as a man, albeit one who is choosing to live as a woman.

   This has provoked a good deal of response from readers, mostly from people praising our stance. To quote from one email from the dozens we have received: "Other news outlets are confusing everyone into thinking Upton is a 'woman who thinks she's a man', or has had a sex change or something, when in reality he is a man who tells everyone he's a woman called Beth. Your accuracy and truthfulness is refreshing."

   Others are not happy, to put it mildly, and we have been told that at least one complaint will be lodged with the Independent Press Standards Organisation. We await to see what IPSO may or may not decide about our approach.

   After the election I thought I'd be spending some time trying to convince leftists not to get drawn into liberal actions that would treat them as disposable and be directed towards restoration of what got us here.

   In actuality, there's no need, because liberals aren't doing anything.

   when you read an excellent science-focussed interview on the COVID-19 pandemic, but it's by a Trotzkyist organisation :blobblocraccoon: But there are also a couple of really good texts by anarchists, and maybe I should help distributing them here.

   In this vain I make a shoutout to @MediaActivist, who wrote an excellent analysis, which I boost with much more delight than only subtooting Trotzkyists :molotov:

   @sim A guy I contracted for wrote an article about "outsourcing yourself", about his theory that it makes sense to move here.

   If you live small enough, living in HK is cheap compared to Stockholm, New York or San Francisco. Everything except the rent is cheaper. But those places are far easier places to find someone who has a programmer mindset and who knows a language other than Java, Python and JavaScript. So maybe find them there and move them here.

   In the end though, that guy moved to New York. For the kind of product he was building, I think he had an easier time finding investors there. Here it's pretty much all fintech, and he was more fin-adjacent.

   @tokyo_0 but that hasn’t at all been my experience watching SO MUCH debate around threads happening on my feeds here.

   In fact, I’ve see so many posts emphatically saying it was NOT about technological risk.

   You bring up an interesting point. I have been discussing this issue for about a year now, first on the DeadBirdSite, then here.

   In a nutshell: #AmericaFirst never was punished nor disbanded. They lost in the polls. People forgot. In 1971, Big Busines joined the bandwaggon with their strategy paper. #Reagonomics carried out the strategy agains the "left", i.e. students that increasingly voted Dem.
   Around the turn of the century (I used to know all the details, but all lost..
