"It's Official: Smartphones Will Need To Have Replaceable Batteries By 2027"

Good, now make it mandatory by 2025 instead. And make the battery the same on all smartphones, similar to the earlier USB-C decision.

I can hear the screams of the lobbyists, but I don't care. 4 years is way too long. The emergency is NOW.

NEW: Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch is demanding access to information about Mississippi residents who obtain abortions or gender-affirming care in other states.

She and 18 other Republican attorneys generals say investigators need access to the information to enforce their states' laws banning abortion and gender-affirming care.

The U.S. House approved an annual defense authorization bill loaded with GOP rollbacks of Pentagon policies on abortion and transgender health care, as well as efforts to boost racial equity - though it is highly unlikely the bill will pass the Democrat-controlled U.S. Senate.

5th Circuit pauses order restricting #Biden administration’s #tech contacts

The stay follows a request from the Justice Department, which warned the sweeping order could chill law enforcement activity #DOJ #legal

Let me propose a new variation on an old theme:

First they came for the #trans people.
They didn't come for anyone else because we beat their sorry asses.

Working from home is an act of reclamation. I shed not one single tear for the end of the abuse that going to an office enables (paying for each day's travel, constant interruptions, terrible work environments designed by executives who don't feel the pain of these environments, etc.)

Rezone that office space as residential and do something about housing affordability.
