The skeletal system and the musculature are set at conception.

The brain structure is also set at conception. It has now been proven scientifically that male & female brains process information differently.

And finally, all of ether reproductive system is set at conception.

All the puberty blockers in the world wonโ€™t change any of that.

So, medications that can change certain secondary sexual characteristics or even primary ones that are endocrine related which can be altered chemically are the only things that can be changed, and

This is loss of control.

Japan is the most indebted major economy on Earth (~260%debt-to-GDP).

Its system only works if yields stay artificially low.
Theyโ€™re not.

When long-end yields rise like this, the math breaks โ€” fast.

#SupremeCourt hears pleas challenging the Delhi School Education (Transparency in Fixation and Regulation of Fees) Act, 2025.

Bench: Justice PS Narasimha and Justice Alok Aradhe. Image
Senior Advocate Mukul Rohatgi: this relates to clash between a central legislation and local legislation. This Act is repugnant to the Delhi School Education Act 1973 enacted by the Parliament. It is purportedly to supplement the 1973 Act but it is actually repugnant.
Rohatgi: My challenge is also to a circular dated 24th December. Though my case is that the Act is bad but assuming that the act is good their own circular is against the Act. And the Act should not have been implemented for this academic year.

See para 15. University professor didn't read handbills, didn't notice @StephenM address.

I don't believe it.

@oliviacgeorge

You're a stenographer for a criminal defense attorney.

Incredible that a high-powered university professor and distinguished professional didn't even bother to read the handbills featuring the person's address.

She should be prosecuted to the fullest extent.

Finland likes to play the victim. But here's what they don't tell you. Between 1918 and 1944, Finland launched four armed conflicts against Russia and the USSR. In at least three of them, Finland acted as the aggressor.

They allied with Hitler. They blockaded Leningrad. They built concentration camps for Russian civilians. And today, they're repeating the same mistakes.

Here's the full story๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡Finnish Waffen-SS volunteers meeting with Joseph Goebbels in 1942.
The civil war that led to Finland's separation from Russia ended in 1918. Yet Finnish authorities chose not to stop there. Almost immediately, they launched armed actions against Soviet Russia, aiming to annex Russian Karelia. The preferred method was indirect: carve out a buffer entity, a so-called North Karelian state, which could later be absorbed. Annexation through a proxy.

This attempt failed with the signing of the Tartu Peace Treaty in 1920. Under that agreement, Finland formally renounced its claims to Eastern Karelia but received Petsamo, a territory that had never belonged to Finland at any point in its history.

2/Karelian and Finnish forest partisans.
Finland's interest in Karelia wasn't ideological or humanitarian but economic and entirely straightforward. Karelia was viewed as a raw-materials base. Finnish timber industrialists and wood-processing owners, especially Finland-Swedes, were particularly interested in exploiting the largely untouched coniferous forests of Russian Karelia. At the time, Finland's economy rested on timber, pulp, and paper industries, which remained its backbone until the early 1950s.
