Re: A thread ostensibly about [twitter] but where we talk about Joe Biden instead
https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2023/05/05/trans-poll-gop-politics-laws/
Clear majorities of Americans support restrictions affecting transgender children, a Washington Post-KFF poll finds, offering political jet fuel for Republicans in statehouses and Congress who are pushing measures restricting curriculum, sports participation and medical care.
"I don't oppose trans rights, I just think it's important to hear from all sides" is about to become "I don't oppose trans rights, I just think they're a political liability."
Centrists have pulled an incredible trick with this.
First, tell the public that medical treatments are being given to thousands of children without assessment. Then, cite public opinion polls expressing discomfort with those treatments as an excuse to let Republicans ban them.
Great way to spend years arguing against equal rights for a minority group while maintaining plausible deniability.
"I never *said* I wanted treatments to be banned!"

Desantis thinks he's found a way around Disney's earlier tactics.
Soooo Disney's suing him in the first place for using the government to harass them over their opinion on an earlier law and his retort is to not only use the government to make more laws to further harass them but (according to a related article linked in the one above) have the part of the government he just made to act as a choke-chain for Disney sue them right back.
I see this surely working out for him. Surely!

Re: [Honkai: Star Rail] Trash Can meta has arrived
My first standard banner 5* was Gepard's Light Cone, seems like a shoe-in for Fire Trailblazer, but I wonder if it would also be good for March...
If you go all out on DEF with her it should work fine for her as well. March's problem is that her counter and ultimate scale with ATK but her shield scales with DEF, one of the reasons I've quit using her for now. If you get her E4 that adds 30% of her DEF to her counter it's less of a problem.
