transphobic research (+) 

Last August, PLoS One published an article by a would-be Andrew Wakefield, suggesting that the internet is turning cis kids trans.

Today, the journal published a lengthy correction notice [1], a revised version of the article [2] “in which the author has updated the Title, Abstract, Introduction, Discussion, and Conclusion sections,” and a formal comment [3] dissecting the original study’s methodology.

In addition, the editor in chief published a blog post [4] stating in part that “the issues with this article could and should have been addressed during the original peer review process. . . . In this case, as a journal we have failed in this responsibility when reviewing and publishing the original article.

“As Editor-in-Chief of PLOS ONE, I fully and sincerely apologize to the trans and gender variant community and others affected by those shortcomings. We should have handled this better.”

Don't often get to see this: a toaster approaching telophase in its mitotic process, about to pinch off its cell membrane. Nature is truly amazing

I'm really getting to grips with Baba is you.

So far it's introduced the concepts of "is", of course, but also "not" "and" "has". Has is particularly interesting. It means that X contains Y. Also, double negatives are not only possible and allowed, but... Sometimes necessary.

And yes "Not X" does mean everything that is NOT X

So, I guess it turns out that it’s “Illegal” and “blasphemous” to steal the Pope’s big hat and God sent me to hell.

As for why it's in that position, I genuinely don't know?? I'm not sure where I picked up that turn of phrase, but I'm like, fairly sure it's British English. It's possibly a Yorkshire dialect thing that I've picked up?

@Felthry
Oh right! Sorry, the phrase is meant to mean "the time has gone past 1am", as in its later than that time.

goddamn some of these puzzles are just harder versions of previous ones and some of them I'm completely stumped by but the solution is so simple it's bvaffling that I never figured i tout, and slightly frustrating., BUT, then sometimes I just... figure out really complicated ones and I'm just "...wait why could I not get the LAST one!?"

@MegaLobsterFace There are times when I'm like "Oh my GOD HOW DO YOU SOLVE THIS, THIS IS BULLCRAP" but then when I find out how to do it I feel like I'm just completely incapable of playing the game. when I DO figure it out myself I feel incredibly smart and clever and like a goddamn genius but...
