Bike lanes are car infrastructure. We cyclists are perfectly within our rights to cycle in the middle of the lane at a speed comfortable for us. And it's safer for us to do that than hug the shoulder and risk getting clipped by an impatient driver. A bike lane gets us out of your way so you can drive the speed limit. It's for your benefit.

There are enough dogs in the world. Adopt.

Go play Metal Gear Rising Revengeance. You get to use a ninja sword to turn fascists into human confetti. Also the final boss is a US senator who wants to make America great again.

No, many people do sex work on the internet and depend on distribution rights to their own bodies to make an income. I'm not usually a fan of copyright, but I make a big exception for people's bodies. This also isn't just a matter of money, it's a matter of personal dignity and social integrity. Nobody should be coerced into giving up creative rights to their own body. It's sexual harassment at best. If my nudes are used to train an AI in some way with a profit motive, then I'm engaged in what is essentially prostitution without my own consent.

Fun fact: Reddit is claiming it has full rights to distribute and sell any content posted to Reddit. So if you've ever posted to r/gonewild, they're claiming to have a full licence to do whatever they want with pictures of your naked body.

Been doing some googling. Most stars are dwarf stars, and the habitable band of a red dwarf is so close the tidal forces are way stronger. It might turn out that most habitable planets are tidally locked.

There's a book called The City In The Middle Of The Night that takes place on a tidally locked planet. It has politics, science fiction, and lesbians.

Side note:

If marriage is between a man and a woman as Republicans claim, then Mrs is not only a gender identity but also a sexual identity, and is doubly prohibited.

(Arguments that Mrs entails allosexual identity are equally predicated on Republican misconception, in this case lack of understanding of the sex/romance distinction)

I've seen that story before, and it doesn't answer my question. I don't think this is an issue teachers can solve by malicious compliance doing the right thing. This is an issue that parents need to solve. Because the bill allows parents to sue (and therefore establish legal precedent), not teachers. If a teacher uses genderless language, as you say, they'll get fired. But if a parent sues a school for having the words he and she, and wins, it is now an incontrovertible part of the law that he and she are forbidden in Florida schools. This means teachers can no longer be punished for following the law, it means they have to follow the law, and this will have a much bigger impact on headlines due to its wider and firmer scope.

Why hasn't a parent done this?

I don't think it would be evil to ban gendered pronouns in Florida schools. I think it would provoke a great deal of careful thought in these schools and broaden students' horizons. And I also think the Republicans would immediately undo it to "save the kids" by repealing the Don't Say Gay bill inside of a month. So ultimately no harm done, and quite likely some good for the students. But on a broader level, it would do a lot of good by repealing the bill and making Republican policies look hostile to Republican voter interests, delegitimising the party's image in Florida and swinging the state left.

A risk averse culture would take the climate crisis seriously. We live in a YOLO culture.
