@Ruined_Yuki @sophiekeen @riotgames Yet that is transphobic. You saying they can't be there cause they aren't women is transphobic no matter how you want to believe it.

Hi @riotgames, I can't see anything that clearly states that this competition is not affiliated with you so I can only presume it's official. This confuses me as a consumer because I didn't think Valorant would be transphobic in this way :(

First, you can't really ban gerrymandering, you can only cabin it. And that only works if you have precise, quantifiable measures with crisp cutoffs. No weighing, no multi-factor tests, etc. Just something like "no splitting counties or municipalities more than necessary." 1/
Andrew Fleischman@ASFleischman

Both parties gerrymander whenever possible. This is bad. Neither party will ever unilaterally disarm. That is predictable. So why not just call a truce and pass a law to restrict it everywhere?

Sam Peak@SpeakSamuel·
This H-1B worker has lived in the US for nearly 20 years and built a family here. His mom was dying in India. To visit her, he would need to wait months to book a consular appointment--with the soonest one available likely being scheduled one year out. He made the difficult choice of not visiting his dying mom because leaving without an appointment would mean separation from his children, job, and his other obligations. Much of the commentary around immigration focuses on how such bureaucratic burdens undermine immigrants’ ability to contribute and innovate. But we must remember that this red tape also prevents these people from being fully engaged with their own lives and meaningfully present in the lives of others. This matters too, and these seemingly non-economic problems will eventually translate into economic costs. If America is no longer a place where people feel empowered to be the best versions of themselves as they celebrate, struggle, and grieve, it ceases not just being the land of opportunity, but also the land of dignity and purpose. linkedin.com/posts/gautam-d…

Elon Musk's SpaceX is gearing up to launch the biggest IPO in stock market history, which could value the business at $1.75 trillion. But as Elena Casas explains, when Reuters had a look at the filing documents, it turned out that valuation is riding on technology that hasn't been proven to work.

@_Darthsoldier_ Prohibition resulted in a wider variety of people drinking, it became more acceptable for women to publically drink, and it attracted those seeking a thrill who did not otherwise drink.

The so-called indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center announced by Todd Blanche and Kash Patel is baseless and illegitimate. These partisan hacks who continue to weaponize the criminal justice system against perceived opponents will never intimidate us. And all of them will be held accountable for their corrupt behavior no matter what it takes. newsweek.com/doj-southern-p…
