One of the reasons abortion is difficult to talk about is that it is the intersection of multiple rights. The principle of bodily autonomy you mention is foundational to our conception of liberty in the US. In this case, however, it intersects with the principle that human life should not be actively ended without extraordinary reason.

And China.

Still not uncontroversial: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31922622/

I and many others strongly disagree with the statement’s assumption that infants are not conscious, so it’s not a completely uncontroversial statement. Sure, they have very limited I/O, but I understand that as orthagonal to consciousness.

Can a possibility be possible?

Check out hollow-body holds- you can adjust them easily to adapt to your strength level.

Yes, the position is called scribe.

Excellent list, I’ll add a few:

- X will be greeted with hoots of derision

- Breathless reporting on conspiracy theories will make them grow in popularity

- Y will not taste nearly as good as it used to

- The multiverse marks the beginning of the end of Marvel’s cultural stranglehold

- Poverty, now called Z, will still exist

Azure DevOps is really underrated: https://www.thoughtworks.com/radar/platforms/azure-devops

Lot of great comments here, pointing that to really understand something, you need to invest in understanding the context. A moment that drove this home for me was hearing “I’m Waiting For The Day” for the first time, nodding along to some cliched lyrics with sentimental swelling strings, and then BAM you get hit with the change up. Suddenly there’s a maudlin, jangling arrangement over syncopated rhythm that staggers into Brian Wilson baring his teeth, all gloating and possessive, with direct physical imagery replacing the dewy euphemisms the song starts with. It’s physical, but there’s nothing romantic about it. Then you’re back in the gentle strings, with Brian Wilson whispering sweet reassurances and you can never hear this song, or perhaps any of the top 40 songs of the time it imitates in the same way again. It’s the kind of song that could change your world if you were a teenager in the 60s, or now.

A whiteboard in a shared space. Still haven’t found anything that can replicate the impact in a remote setting.

Auralnauts for consistently great Star Wars reimaginings: come for the humor, stay for the brilliant commentary and artistic skill.

Joe Pera if you’re willing to invest in slow-paced, deeply rewarding meditations on Americana, existence, and pancakes.

Minor note: a Shibboleth is some artifact that determines whether one belongs to a certain in-group, not a vilified concept.

I last researched this a few years ago, but the best resource I’ve found in this space is: https://getbible.net/api

They’ve taken a different approach to retrieving content - instead of a navigable resource hierarchy you send a citation that approximates the standard format: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible_citation

This matches one of the most common use cases for a Bible API: turning a citation into content.

It’s also worth scanning your content to find if there are characters that will break JSON serialization. For example, many translations distinguish supplied words by special characters: I’ve seen square and angle brackets used.

It’s not an easy domain to represent once you start handling special cases, but very worthwhile.
