The entire Democratic Party owes a massive debt of gratitude to Zohran Mamdani. Before his rapid rise, the party was largely rudderless, suffering from a loss of direction, momentum, and self-confidence. By drifting away from the working class, the party naturally saw voters walk away in response. Mamdani single-handedly corrected the course, bringing vital energy, ideological clarity, and an authentic connection back to the very people who had been left behind. Without his influence, the party’s current standing would look very different.

I've been seeing a lot of genAI integrations in Minecraft recently... Especially for building. Not to be that guy but even if you dont want to build, theres a 15+ year backlog of FREE PUBLIC builds that people have made, this is just so obsolete and counter-active to the game

PiS entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to purge the judiciary, and nobody was going to purge them. - Bomber Tusk

Ian McKellen reciting Shakespeare's writing on racist anti-immigration riots in London during his time. It is excellent. They have been banging the same drum for 400 years.

NON, il n’y a pas de « coup d’État » en Pologne. Depuis quelques heures, des comptes militants diffusent des images de policiers devant le Tribunal constitutionnel polonais en prĂ©tendant que Donald Tusk aurait fait prendre la Cour par la force. C’est faux. Voici ce qui s’est rĂ©ellement passĂ©. Le conflit remonte aux annĂ©es de gouvernement du PiS, entre 2015 et 2023. Le parti avait placĂ© ses proches au Tribunal constitutionnel au terme de procĂ©dures gravement irrĂ©guliĂšres, transformant progressivement cette institution en instrument politique. Ce constat ne vient pas seulement du gouvernement Tusk. La Cour europĂ©enne des droits de l’homme a jugĂ© que certaines nominations avaient rendu des formations du Tribunal illĂ©gales. La Cour de justice de l’Union europĂ©enne a Ă©galement conclu que les nominations de plusieurs juges et de l’ancienne prĂ©sidente avaient violĂ© des rĂšgles fondamentales et que le Tribunal ne rĂ©pondait plus aux exigences d’indĂ©pendance et d’impartialitĂ©. Depuis son retour au pouvoir, la coalition de Donald Tusk tente donc de remettre cette institution en Ă©tat. Le Parlement actuel a Ă©lu de nouveaux juges, mais le prĂ©sident Karol Nawrocki, soutenu par le PiS, refuse de recevoir leur serment. Ces juges ont effectuĂ© une prestation de serment de substitution, dont la validitĂ© est elle-mĂȘme contestĂ©e. Le 30 octobre, plusieurs de ces juges sont entrĂ©s dans le Tribunal. Anna Korwin-Piotrowska, qui se considĂšre comme la juge possĂ©dant la plus grande anciennetĂ©, a suspendu pour un mois le prĂ©sident Bogdan Úwięczkowski et son vice-prĂ©sident. Elle leur reproche notamment d’empĂȘcher les nouveaux juges de siĂ©ger, de refuser de rĂ©unir l’assemblĂ©e gĂ©nĂ©rale complĂšte du Tribunal et de composer certaines formations de jugement en violation de la loi. La direction liĂ©e au PiS refuse cette dĂ©cision, affirme rester en fonction et accuse les nouveaux juges de commettre un « coup d’État ». Concernant les images de policiers : la police polonaise affirme ne pas ĂȘtre entrĂ©e dans le bĂątiment et ne pas avoir pris le contrĂŽle du Tribunal. Elle a sĂ©curisĂ© les abords Ă  la demande d’une juge et du procureur gĂ©nĂ©ral en raison des manifestations, des risques de violences et des menaces pesant sur le personnel. Trois personnes ont Ă©tĂ© interpellĂ©es aprĂšs avoir franchi la clĂŽture. Des objets ont Ă©galement Ă©tĂ© lancĂ©s sur les forces de l’ordre. Il n’y a donc : Aucun dĂ©ploiement de l’armĂ©e. Aucun renversement du gouvernement. Aucune arrestation du prĂ©sident. Aucune suspension du Parlement ou de la Constitution. Aucune prise militaire du Tribunal. Il existe en revanche un conflit constitutionnel majeur entre deux directions qui revendiquent simultanĂ©ment la lĂ©gitimitĂ©. La mĂ©thode employĂ©e par le camp Tusk est juridiquement contestable. Pour suspendre les dirigeants du Tribunal, Anna Korwin-Piotrowska s’appuie sur plusieurs textes combinĂ©s et invoque un « Ă©tat de nĂ©cessitĂ© constitutionnelle ». Cette interprĂ©tation devra ĂȘtre tranchĂ©e par les juridictions compĂ©tentes. On peut donc parfaitement considĂ©rer que Tusk prend un risque en voulant rĂ©parer l’État de droit Ă  l’aide d’une procĂ©dure juridiquement fragile. Mais appeler cela un « coup d’État » reste une manipulation grossiĂšre. Le PiS a largement créé cette situation en capturant auparavant le Tribunal. Le gouvernement actuel tente maintenant de reprendre le contrĂŽle d’une institution discrĂ©ditĂ©e, avec une mĂ©thode qui soulĂšve elle aussi de sĂ©rieuses questions juridiques. La rĂ©alitĂ© est donc plus complexe que les vidĂ©os anxiogĂšnes diffusĂ©es sur X : Ce n’est pas un coup d’État. C’est une crise constitutionnelle trĂšs grave, nĂ©e de plusieurs annĂ©es de politisation de la justice polonaise et dĂ©sormais aggravĂ©e par une bataille de lĂ©gitimitĂ© entre deux camps.

The Science They Don’t Want You to Know About Transgender People The genitals and the brain develop at different times in the womb. The genitals form between weeks six and twelve of pregnancy. The brain develops its sex characteristics separately, in the second half of pregnancy, under a different hormonal environment. Two separate processes. Two different timelines. When they produce different outcomes in the same person, you get a transgender person. This is not opinion. It is published embryology. It has been in peer reviewed scientific journals since 1995, including Nature, one of the most respected scientific journals on earth. Over 100 genetic associations with transgender identity have been documented. Brain structure differences are present before any medical treatment begins, which means they are developmental, not caused by transition. Twin studies confirm a genetic contribution. Girls exposed to higher androgens in the womb show significantly higher rates of gender nonconformity. Every major medical institution on earth, the WHO, the American Medical Association, the Royal College of Psychiatrists, recognises this as naturally occurring biological variation. Over 40 intersex variations exist. People born with XY chromosomes and fully female anatomy. People born with both genitalia. People whose chromosomes are neither XX nor XY. The binary is not a biological fact. It is a simplification that nature routinely ignores. The Hijra community of South Asia has been documented for over four thousand years. Two-Spirit people held recognised roles across hundreds of Indigenous nations. Gender diversity is recorded in ancient Sumer, Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, Rome and every continent on earth. Transgender people are not new. The science explaining why they exist is not new either. It just does not get reported the same way as the arguments about bathrooms. Now you know why trans people exist

An all-transmasc Ironman trio just won 3rd place in a major men's triathlon, beating over 200 other men's teams. đŸŠâ€â™‚ïžđŸƒâ€đŸšŽâ€â™‚ïž Trans men win men's competitions all the time, but media doesn't pays attention because it doesn't fit their narrative. I think we should celebrate trans men's victories, too! 🏆

Misgendering a trans person because they did/said something you disagree with is still transphobia btw.

The absolute COOLEST shit I've ever seen. This is why I get so jazzed about that "Minecraft is a medium" stuff, this is what I think the artistic potentialities of the game can lead to at their absolute best

Id like to take this time to clarify that I am normal. I dont think theres a secret “ending” that will make the Whitepine finale good; it already is good. I just think theres a little teeeeny tiiiny bit of paratext missing based on the pattern by which its usually transmitted

Wow that was a great episode of television. What a sublime and fitting finale for Whitepine. I'm sure everyone will have measured and reasonable takes on this!
