Nobel peace prize has been a joke for a long time. Nominations don't mean much though. Trump was just nominated as well

I imagine (or at least hope) this gets thrown out before it ever sees trial.

e/ Oh god it already happened. God I hate our justice system... more times than not.


The irony? Age of consent is 16 in NC. So he's guilty of being a sex offender for having a nude photo of his adult self as an adult.

...or something.

Self-ownership is no longer a thing. Unless you want to kill a baby.

Couple weeks old, but a good read: https://www.newsweek.com/why-i-decided-regulate-big-tech-poland-opinion-1562819

To summarize: If big tech can prevent the speech of the sitting President of the USA, who can't they prevent the speech of?

Numerous articles elsewhere about the EU looking at regulating not what can be posted, but instead regulating what can be removed, and who should be in charge of the removal, in order to protect legal free speech.

Interesting scenario. For all that most European government officials despised Trump, even they're pretty upset that he could be deplatformed while still in office.

Scientific study proves men taking drugs are still faster than women

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/dec/07/study-suggests-ioc-adjustment-period-for-trans-women-may-be-too-short
A groundbreaking new study on transgender athletes has found trans women retain a 12% advantage in running tests even after taking hormones for two years to suppress their testosterone. The results, researchers suggest, indicate the current International Olympic Committee guidelines may give trans women an “unfair competitive advantage” over biological women.

World Rugby recently became the first sports federation to ban trans women from women’s rugby, citing “significant” safety risks and fairness concerns. But most sports still follow IOC guidelines from 2015, which permit trans women to play against biological women providing their testosterone remains below 10 nanomoles per litre – a figure higher than average biological female levels, which range from 0.12 to 1.79nmol/L.
