I really appreciate the folks at @privacyguides talking about trans people when discussing real-name policies.
For people like me who cannot legally change our names or genders at all (🇭🇺), a real-name policy is effectively a perma-ban from a platform.
I'd never wish upon anyone the pain of searching "Is "legal name" required for [service]" and finding out that you either have to choose between not using it or having an anxiety-inducing panic-ridden terror-show slowly infest it. What to many is a mild annoyance to us is an impassable wall.
And now with age verification it has gotten even worse. How can I prove my age when my ID doesn't match my name? How can I even prove the account is mine? It's either deadname, or deletion.
It's cost me friendships, mutuals, the fun of using the internet... All that's left are the strongholds like Mastodon, built to resist these very policies. Besides them, where else could we go?

"The richest man in the world wants to implant a chip in your brain. You wouldn’t be the first: as of last September, 12 people have already undergone the operation and 10,000 more are on the waiting list.
Elon Musk’s experimental brain chip company, Neuralink, is entering its second year of clinical trials with the PRIME study, which aims to “restore autonomy to people with paralysis” by enabling them to “operate their phones and computers with just their thoughts.” (PRIME stands for Precise Robotically IMplanted brain-computer interfacE; one can only hope that its researchers are better at neurology than they are acronyms.)
The program has had its successes, but the medical advancements have come at a cost—and Musk is no longer content with healing the sick and injured. In fact, the billionaire’s ambitions seem to be twice as vast as the regulatory hurdles he has sidestepped to get there. Elon Musk wants to transcend the human form. To do so, it’ll only take a few thousand experiments on us regular folk."

Analysis: "Trump’s 'Board of Peace' Grift: Con of the Century"
Trump's 'Board of Peace' is "composed of sycophants, global toadies & war criminals, with a failure to communicate."
"It’s a lame attempt to:
"a) supplant the UN as the governing umbrella; &
"b) raise cash for & stoke the ego for Trump.
"Palestinians see the BOP as an adjunct of the Israeli occupation."

Report: US-supplied prohibited thermal munitions evaporated 2,842 Palestinians "leaving behind [only] blood spray or small fragments of flesh".
"The intense heat is often generated by tritonal... used in US-made bombs like the MK-84."
Also found were fragments of American-made GBU-39s, bombs designed to keep buildings intact while killing everything inside by incinerating soft tissue.

For decades, Israel has illegally seized Palestinian land by declaring it “state land”.
Israel also steals Palestinian land as “seizure for military needs, declaration of land as ‘abandoned' assets & expropriation... for public needs”.
"In addition, Israel has assisted private citizens purchasing land on the ‘free market’.”
