Not just a reduced sentence but this 26 year old MALE will be housed in a female Juvenile facility. He molested underage girls and now he will be in a facility with his targeted victims.

Just disgusting.

A pregnant MAN features among the 37 new emoji coming to iPhones in Apple's iOS 15.4 update

The pregnant man and pregnant person recognise that 'pregnancy is possible for some transgender men and non-binary people', says Emojipedia, which is part of the California-based Unicode Consortium, the central bank of all approved emoji.

I suppose Android is probably going to do the same thing. A couple weeks ago I wanted to send a text to a buddy with two emojis, a gun and a foot. We were watching a game and some team was choking it away. The only gun I could find was a green water gun.

The gun emoji was removed from phones several years ago for some stupid reason like not wanting to "promote" gun violence by letting people use that emoji.

I can't wait to send an emoji text with a pregnant man who loves gun control. I'm so woke.

Those two won't hurt but Dave Grohl is doing the same and that might. First that's a much larger audience and second it will likely spur even more artists. Eventually Rogan will go. Might be next week or next month but the pressure will be too big. Spotify lost 6.4B in market cap this week.

Anyone opposed to this change with rudimentary photoshop skills could easily rearrange the fingers on the new hand.

While I agree in principle, how is this different than the other "canceling" methods, ala Rogan?

The difference is that she was cancelled by her employer because they believe that her diametrically opposed position would affect their clientele and bottomline. They shouldn't have to die on the hill on which she planted her flag. Especially if they don't share her viewpoint.

Right. I hate cancel culture and I don't like boycotts. But this is an important distinction here. A company doesn't need to put up with this.

Rogan was boycotted. Guzman was canceled. Important distinction.
