  For all the left people I know, including myself, The reason we don’t want a line drawn is because sometimes special circumstances arise. There may be medical complications in the third trimester that would result in the mother’s death and it’s not feasible to exhaustively list every scenario that could land her in this situation so it’s better to just not a put a limit on it so she doesn’t have some bullshit hoop to jump through later while she’s dying.

  That said, I don’t think there’s anyone genuinely arguing that people should be allowed to get abortions super late into the pregnancy just for funsies. Third trimester is the logical cut off to me, and most of the people I know agree or want it slightly shorter. We just don’t want the law to specify that since it can cause legal complications. It’s better that it be considered a medical standard.

  I’m fine with just the security updates until 2025. I’m sure I’ll eventually be able to move on to Linux by then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zelenskiy pushes US for more aid, invites Trump to Ukraine⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Article was definitely written to appear that way. I remembered a different article that had this Zelensky comment as the headline, but they do technically call it out in their article. A lot of people only read the headline after all. ಠ_ಠ

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zelenskiy pushes US for more aid, invites Trump to Ukraine⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  From the article:

  “If he can come here, I will need … 24 minutes to explain to President Trump that he can’t manage this war,” Zelenskiy said. “He can’t bring peace because of Putin.”

  Sounds like he’s saying it’s out of Trump’s depth

  I really missed this too, until I discovered that with Sync, you can long press comments to close the chain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Musk refused to testify in Twitter stock probe — After being sued by SEC, says he wants US regulators to be punished⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a lot of Musk hate all over the Internet and irl, not just this site. For good reasons too, but I don’t think the issue is that he didn’t testify, it’s because he wants regulators to be punished for enforcing regulations. That kind of attitude screams “I am above the law, punish these people so no one tries to hold me accountable again.” to me.
