Judge Reyes demanded #DOJ offer ANY evidence that the #transgender ban is addressing an actual problem as opposed to a pretext to #discriminate against transgender people.
Reyes noted that #DOD policies already require the #military to identify people w/debilitating medical conditions & that would cover people w/ gender *dysphoria* who are unable to serve.
"Everything in the record is that it’s a pretext. There is nothing in the record that this was a deliberative process."

CW: USPol, economics
Dear Mr. #Trump,
The #tariffs you levied on Canada and Mexico, igniting an illegal trade war on a transparently thin #pretext, are stupid, but many people, including the Prime Minister of Canada, have already explained this, so I won't belabour the point.
However, your insistence that the USA's trade deficit with #Canada constitutes an unfair imposition or an economic attack on the USA is, to put it bluntly, particularly #dumb. A brief analogy will suffice to demonstrate this, even to a decrepit, declining midwit such as yourself.
Where do you buy your groceries? I realize you probably don't know, having never done it yourself. But ask your staff to tell you where they buy your groceries for you. While you're at it, ask them how much they cost, given that you have no idea what food costs the average person.
Figure that amount out for a full year. Your Iphone contains a #calculator app.
For example, let's say it comes out to $12,000.
At the end of the year, you have purchased $12,000 worth of #groceries from <store>. How much "stuff" have they purchased from you?
The answer there is probably $0.
So you've sent them $12k, and received $12k of goods. They've sent you no money, and received no goods from you.
This is a "#trade #deficit". Has the grocery store thus "attacked" you economically? Of course not. You both benefited, although I realize you think #economics - everything, really - is a zero-sum game.
See how #stupid you are?

Message de service aux enseignants: Blanquer fait son retour médiatique avec un bouquin (que personne ne lira mais qui lui sert de prétexte pour squatter les médias) et l’université d’été de son think tank. Sont invités: Valls, Bruckner, Enthoven, Rachel Khan et Philippe Val, fait savoir Le Parisien… Bref, les copains du Printemps républicain. Ce matin, l’ex-chouchou du président étrille la dissolution sur Inter.

...for #Germany's) to hit targets outside of #Ukraine as a pretext, he now has no moved all pawns into place and can wait until his #MAGA (#MoscowAgentGriftingAmerica) is inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2025.
The only hope left for many ist that the #OrangePeril's perilous diet and life style will let him perish before that.

Belle comparaison entre le suppresseur d'appétit Ozempic et l'IA, le dernier prétexte pour virer des gens. J'irais même plus loin : Ozempic est inutile (en tant que produit minceur) car les gens reprennent tout le poids perdu ; l'IA est également inutile, car les entreprises doivent réembaucher tous les licenciés en tant que sous-traitants plateformisés..https://medium.com/@profgalloway/corporate-ozempic-da829480c878

The next frontier of "#fingerprinting" is #biometrics, and the pretexts to establish it are "secure authentication", convenience, and "fighting bots".
Biometrics come in handy when interested parties feel annoyed by people striving to use, e.g., more #privacy preserving hardware and software: why not directly "fingerprint" users, the real people? You can switch to a different browser, but not so much to a different body.
It's not just about established technologies like literal fingerprint readers; #face recognition; #iris recognition; or measuring the timing of keystrokes, mouse movements, or touchpad swipes.
Seven years ago, there was already a paper on using an Electroencephalogram (EEG) to measure your reaction to (un)familiar visual stimuli, for "authentication" purposes.
Following up on such ideas, there are now #EU #tenders for exploring "#stimulus-induced biometrics", that is, measuring your body's reactions to specific stimuli, with the goal of identifying you. Because you just can't stop your reactions.
As always, "fingerprinting" you will be sold to you as a "convenience" (control your computer only with your mind!) and "security enhancement".
BTW, if you already own smart vacuuming robots, indoor cameras and Alexa that have charted your home and habits: have you ever wondered why some "entrepreneurs" are so excited about brain implants that will "enhance" everybody's "capabilities"…?

BBC Row: UK report states VHP planned Gujarat violence in advance, Godhra a “pretext”
The report states that the violence was “planned, possibly months in advance” by Vishva Hindu Parishad, a Hindu nationalist organisation. The report notes: “The attack on the train at Godhra on 27 February provided the pretext. If it had not occurred, another one would have been found.

You'd think they'd be required to at least pretend to be serious about the issues they employ as a pretext to advance their agenda (neoprohibitionism in this case). But as a society we let the nanny-statists get away with literally anything, so they need not even bother.

#wagnerTonight #AlexWagner #msnbc — here, report on this: “But whatever official pretext Mr. McGonigal might have for those trips [to Albania & other Intl. travel] and associations could also have served as a cover for more questionable activities, others said.”
How Prosecutors Say a Top F.B.I. Agent Sold His Services Overseas
As the counterintelligence chief in New York, Charles McGonigal had access to sensitive American secrets. His arrest has touched off a scramble to assess the damage. -

"👉X suffers outages...

"...many of social media were noting it in the same context as the #Tesla demonstrations, implying a political motivation.
#Musk...on X: "We get attacked every day, 👉but this was done with a lot of resources. Either a large, coordinated group and/or a country is involved."👈

[Vidéo] Denis Robert convoqué au poste
Il était temps de convoquer le redoutable Denis Robert. Prétexte tout trouvé avec la publication de son « Travailleur médiatique - Résister à la fabrication du consentement » (F. Massot), entre souvenirs et éditos, introspections et spéculations, passé et présent, corruption et fake news.
Avec lui, on a causé de Clearstream,…

Je signe à mon tour la pétition proposée aux élu·es par @LaQuadrature contre la vidéosurveillance algorithmique mise en place au prétexte des Jeux Olympiques de 2024 à Paris.
Citoyens et citoyennes ne doivent être ni victimes ni cobayes de projets d'algorithmes sécuritaires aussi coûteux pour l'État que dangereux pour les libertés fondamentales !
