Sometimes when I am pushing myself thru a hard workout, I remind myself that every rep I get done is mine forever. I have a total amount of effort put in over my life and it only goes up.

100 mph straight line winds in Chicago per WGN. Nuts. Got a tornado warning alert by me but nothing too bad.

@[email protected] has moved May 30

Although he subsequently apologised for the phrasing, Bill Winters (CEO, Standard Chartered), has introduced the phrase 'lower-value human capital' in to public discourse....

If you ever wanted an example of the contempt that our executive business class have for ordinary workers, this would be it... in just four words, Winters summed up the way the top table in most firms seem to see their workforce.

The inhumanity of the capitalist class is not new, but increasingly brazen!

Federal employees to be fully barred from gender affirming care coverage, starting next year https://theneedlenews.com/2026/05/federal-employees-to-be-fully-barred-from-gender-affirming-care-coverage-starting-next-year/

It’s not just kids: Trump’s crackdown on trans healthcare extends into adulthood https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/trump-transgender-healthcare-gender-veterans-federal-employees-rcna346425

DOJ's fight against trans medical care in prison is a fight to erase trans people in the law https://www.lawdork.com/p/dojs-fight-against-trans-medical

From that last one:

> In its briefing, DOJ went on to argue that “the 2026 Policy does not, in the words of Skrmetti, ‘prohibit conduct for one sex that it permits for the other’ but instead turns on ‘the underlying medical concern the treatment is intended to address,’ i.e., gender dysphoria.”
>
> Echoing, while expanding, Chief Justice John Roberts’s disingenuous majority opinion from Skrmetti, DOJ now has made clear that it views — and plans to use — Skrmetti as a free-for-all to go after trans people of all ages by denying that, so far as the law is concerned, trans people exist at all.

Any of these 11 million people seeking to transition (or merely to maintain the body they already have) would either have to pay out of their own pocket, or find employment elsewhere.
