Internationally, the World Chess Federation imposed a temporary ban in 2023, preventing trans women from women’s tournaments pending further review — a rule Germany opposes, pointing out that a trans woman had already claimed a national women’s title in the early 2000s, Apollo News reports.

I think this just completely took effect and was not temporary.

The whole thing is a shitshow, because if you are MTF , FIDE does not think you are a woman, thus can't have women's titles, but also, if you're FTM , you are ALSO not a woman, so you can't keep your women's titles (Womens' grandmaster, Womens' International Master,etc).

I assume Calendar Man had a mental illness

Pretty much every batman villain is mentally ill in someway or another, and it's probably easier to list the ones that aren't. That's why they end up in Arkham "Asylum".

The ones that aren't mentally ill are disfigured. And at this point, you can probably count out the only ones left.

Perhaps we can have some lifestyle programming showing them developing-world sweatshop workers who balance breastfeeding with working a 120-hour week as aspirational models?

After watching a "third world worker makes food really fast" video I thought about who that appeals to other than people that want to watch sensory experiences. It was asshole CEOs and bosses that want to actively hate on and work their staff into dust. I thought a possibly profitable venture would be just making a subscription service that would serve them up those videos with statistics about how productive x person is.

Of course, people profiteering off the videos of these literally poor people without giving anything back are doing something unethical, so doing it on a bigger scale is also unethical and not worth it in case it fails. (thus, bad for ethical AND pragmatic reasons)

I swear to god this song is fucking amazing and has absolutely everything.

The solo isn't even in this vid but Mike Lerner's fucking phrasing is out of this world, and barely anyone can come close to him. He doesn't just play fast, or melodically, he seamlessly goes between the two to create a masterwork of expression.

 

not sure how to crosspost 🤷‍♂️
