  • Fantastic!

  • Ampel plant schärfere Regeln für Bürgergeldempfänger
  • So soll [...] das Ablehnen einer zumutbaren Arbeit mit erhöhten Leistungskürzungen geahndet werden

    Das Bundesverfassungsgericht hatte entschieden, dass Sanktionen verfassungswidrig sind, wenn die Bezüge unter das Existenzminimum fallen. Aber wie üblich scheint unseren Regierenden aller Parteien egal zu sein, was in Deutschland Recht ist, wenn es die Möglichkeit gibt Menschen zu schaden, die sich nicht wehren können.

  • TIL about de la Chapelle syndrome where people with XX chromosomes are born with traditionally masculine organs & presentation. Usually those with the trait are unaware they have XX chromosomes at all
  • Also interesting in that regard Androgen insensitivity syndrome: Despite different root causes, it is something of the opposite of Chapelle syndrome. People who possess XY chromosomes, but possess female genitalia.

  • All 64 of the countries where it’s illegal to be LGBTQ+ – and yes, it’s all colonialism’s fault
  • Yes. From the article:

    Ethiopia: [...] It is one of the few African countries that enacted its own anti-gay laws – most others inherited those laws from Britain.

  • The Bittersweet Feeling Of Seeing Your Game Revealed After Getting Laid Off
