♲ @psychmesu@diaspora.glasswings.com:beige.party/@Tattooed_Mummy/11… Tattooed_Mummy@beige.party - Morning-after pill now available for free in pharmacies across England #News ##GoodNews
Women across #England will be able to get the morning-after pill free of charge in pharmacies from today.The move – hailed by officials as the biggest change to sexual health services since the 1960s – is expected to be innovative in making care more accessible.
Emergency #contraception is free from most GPs and sexual health clinics, but can cost up to £30 from pharmacies.
From Wednesday, however, the pill will be available for free from almost 10,000 community pharmacies without the need for an appointment with a family doctor or clinic.

Reminiscent of former Soviet bloc practices aggressively sniffing on, intimidating & maltreating civilian populations eg
"...
The Ministry for State Security (German: Ministerium für Staatssicherheit, pronounced [minɪsˈteːʁiʊm fyːɐ̯ ˈʃtaːtsˌzɪçɐhaɪ̯t]; abbreviated MfS), commonly known as the Stasi (pronounced [ˈʃtaːziː] ⓘ, an abbreviation of Staatssicherheit), was the state security service and secret police of East Germany from 1950 to 1990.
It was one of the most repressive police organisations in the world, infiltrating almost every aspect of life in East Germany, using torture, intimidation and a vast network of informants to crush dissent.
The function of the Stasi in East Germany (the GDR) resembled that of the KGB in the Soviet Union, in that it served to maintain state authority and the position of the ruling party, in this case the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED).
This was accomplished primarily through the use of a network of civilian informants (called unofficial collaborators) who contributed to the arrest of approximately 250,000 people in East Germany.
It also had a large elite paramilitary force, the Felix Dzerzhinsky Guards Regiment, that served as its armed wing.
Known as "the shield and the sword of the party", the Stasi locked up opponents of the regime. Officers tortured prisoners by isolating them, depriving them of sleep and using psychological tricks such as threatening to arrest relatives.

Hey, Anthropic owes me $9000! They illegally used at least 3 of my books on LibGen to create Claude. Now they're paying a $1.5 billion settlement, at $3000 per book. See if *your* books are on the list:
anthropiccopyrightsettlement.c…
If so, you have until March 23, 2026 to file a claim. The above website lets you file a claim, but this one explains everything more clearly:
authorsguild.org/advocacy/arti…
Actually I exaggerated: the payment will be split between authors and publishers, but I have to make the claim - so the settlement is making me do some work my publisher should be doing for me. My coauthors and I will just get half, $4500. One of these books has 2 coauthors, one has 3, and one is a book I edited, with essays by lots of authors. So $1000 is a more realistic estimate of what I get. Oh well.
Bizarrely, my most popular book, Gauge Fields, Knots and Gravity, is not on the list. But I guess it's not surprising:
"The settlement agreement discloses that approximately 500,000 titles out of the 7 million copies of books that Anthropic reportedly downloaded from LibGen and PiLiMi meet the definition required to be part of the class."
Only books whose copyright is registered with the US Library of Congress meet that defiinition!
If you have a book on the list, you can opt out of the current settlement and join future lawsuits. But you have to take action to do that!!! For more information on that, see item 40 here:

Even if the House was fully functional, they're in session for an avg of 147 days and out for 218. But under Speaker Johnson, Congress has been in session only 12 of the last 97 days, and he still won't swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva.
Meanwhile, these are the people who demand Work Requirements for ordinary Americans.😐

I am puzzled that the D doesn't play this as a labour grievance: she doesn't get paid until she is sworn in. Most people of any political stripe can connect with the concept that if you were hired to do a job then you should get paid.
"After five weeks, Grijalva has forfeited $17,000 of the $174,000 annual congressional salary, since she won’t go on the payroll until she formally joins the House."

It is the moral, ethical, and yes legally right for Democratic States and Cities to engage in Soft Secession by withholding federal taxes—and instead spend those funds on their own residents.
This would not violate the Supremacy Clause, has immense precedent in American history, and the time to act is NOW. The real question is given the Federal government's complete failure—what are Democratic leaders waiting for?

I really hope you can pull this off. However, having worked with distributed, decentralized systems, I think the difference between a centralized system and yours will always be a limitation to adoption.
But I hope you'll write lots of blog posts for others to build upon :)
The most annoying thing about donating to a #charity is the follow-up messages that usually start within a week asking for more money. For Chrissake! I gave you the money I can give you now; what makes you think I can give you more money a week later?
If you run a charity, don't fucking do this. Wait at least a month or two. A reminder once a year would be ideal for me because I only give to each charity once a year.
I totally unsubscribed so now I'll never hear from them again. Hopefully.
