Elan.school is a webcomic of the author's experience at Elan. Well worth a read and the author is currently in the process of making it into a physical comic

Even better. The countdown resets if you look away

This case is being heard in Sydney, Australia not the US so a case from the US is not relevant in determining the outcome

Discrimination based on gender identity is basically saying I have been treated differently due to being transgender. She is saying that she as a transgender woman is being treated differently to a cisgender woman. Or that is at least how it works in the UK. I would presume Australia is similar

I feel like there are 2 related arguments against this. One is that it could motivate political prosecution to disenfranchise people. The second is that it kind of creates a slippery slope, if treason disenfranchises you why not murder, or rape, or election fraud or whatever other crime someone considers serious enough

Can someone please explain why a railroad commissioner is an elected position?

I wouldn't really call the Labour party progressive

Is impeachment actually limited to those in office?

For espresso machines I would recommend Gaggia. I bought one that was at least third hand and from 2000. It still works great and if anything breaks all the parts can be bought online

Tim Eicke, the UK judge at the ECtHR. He gave a talk at my university and I briefly spoke to him afterwards
