ABOUT TIME: The reckoning over puberty blockers has arrived. “In gender dysphoria, a ‘successful’ prescription is where puberty is bypassed altogether. The assumption about reversibility, never tested and highly questionable from the start, proved to be the ethical foundation for the entire Dutch experiment, and it quickly crumbled. Over 93 percent of adolescents who are put on puberty blockers for gender issues continue down the medical pathway to cross-sex hormones. Some go on to surgeries.”

CHRISTIAN TOTO: No, ‘Civil War’s’ Fascist President Isn’t Donald Trump.

Kirsten Dunst leads an ensemble cast including “Parks and Recreation” standout Nick Offerman as the U.S. president. Much of the film’s story has been kept under wraps. The film’s SXSW Film and TV Festival debut let some light shine on the narrative.

Offerman’s president, for example, has fascistic tendencies and is currently serving his third term.

It must be Trump. Of course.

if Hollywood has taught us anything over the past seven-plus years it’s that it can’t stop referencing the 45th president. And, almost every time said commentary is unflattering.

To be kind.

That’s exactly what journalists were hoping from “Civil War.” It’s why they’re trying to get the film’s stars to admit it. So far, they’re striking out.

I watched the trailer a couple of months ago and was pleasantly surprised at how politicized it wasn’t. Maybe that will prove true of the whole movie.

UNEXPECTEDLY: Calif. fast food minimum wage law will cost you $200 more a year for your Starbucks habit.

Comparing previous receipts to current prices, items at Starbucks, where each store is corporately owned, have been jacked up by $0.50 to as much as $1.00, BI found.

A spokesperson for the coffee chain confirmed to the outlet that the rising prices in California stores are a response to the higher minimum wage — but declined to reveal the average item increase.

The menu price increase was implemented as a way to offset the higher labor costs, but loyal customers who visit Starbucks regularly might not be able to dish out the extra change, regardless of whether or not they agree their baristas should get paid more.

How long before some sharp Sacramento lawmaker proposes a coffee subsidy?

A MODERN MIRACLE: Let’s Talk About All the Ways People Didn’t Die in That Taiwan Earthquake.

WOULD YOU TAKE IN AN ILLEGAL ALIEN FOR $125 A DAY? New York, New York Is a Helluva Mess.

It’s interesting that hizzoner piped up about the idea just as Gov Kathy Hochul and the legislature’s Plus One ADU (Additional Dwelling Unit) legislation started humming along. That’s where the state gives a low or moderate-income homeowner up to $125,000 (plus all sorts of bennies like expedited permitting help, etc.) for upgrading an existing structure, converting a garage or attic, or just plain building a tiny house in the backyard into a habitable abode. For…gosh, whoever might need to live there. And if the homeowner wants to rent it out after the state foots part – or all – of the bill, why, that’s okay, too.

Neat how that works. The state is enticing and financing the middle and lower classes to make their lives more “affordable” by becoming basically migrant housing.

I’d be very careful what I wished for when a government as prone to Big Brotherism as New York starts waving cash for a piece of my property, though. Admittedly not being completely up on the niceties of rental law in New York still doesn’t stop my jaundiced eye from squinting at the “deal.” Particularly when you realize that these “migrants” are incredibly well-versed in whatever “rights” and handouts are to be awarded to them wherever they land. And that New York is one of the ground zeros for squatting battles.

The “unexpectedlies” are writing themselves well in advance.

THERE IS LITERALLY NOTHING NANNYSTATERS CAN’T MAKE WORSE: Dating apps are awful; a Colorado bill will make them worse.

On the Hinge dating app, the basic text prompts where users share information about themselves are an unmitigated hellscape.

“All sex is choke sex when you’re being strangled by the invisible hand of capitalism,” read one profile I came across. The app offers a surprisingly large number of men who like to do yoga in the nude. A different man holds up a picture of himself with a “world’s smallest cock” mug and yet didn’t bother to post a picture of the adorable rooster. Things aren’t much better once you open a chat: I recently asked a man in his 40s what he liked about Spain and he replied simply, “Chicas.”

These are relatively tame examples. Unfortunately, some people deal with dangerous and aggressive users on dating apps, and lawmakers are taking note. But however terrible online dating may be, government intervention isn’t the answer: The problem is the users, not the apps.

A bill recently introduced in Colorado aims to make dating apps such as Hinge and Bumble safer for users. The first section of Senate Bill 24-011 would force all dating services with any users in Colorado to submit an annual report to Colorado’s attorney general about misconduct reports from users in the state or about users in the state. If that isn’t available, the app must report all misconduct reports from the entire United States. These reports would all become public.

While the bill leaves some of the details up to the state’s attorney general, this would probably mean that when people file false reports about each other on dating apps, the reports would all become public record.

On the plus side, maybe people will go back to picking up one another in bars.
