Michigan Hair Salon That Told Trans Customers to Go to Pet Groomer Charged with Discrimination (msn.com)
The Michigan Department of Civil Rights (MDCR) has issued a charge of discrimination against a local hair salon owner for discriminating against transgender people.
According to the state agency, Traverse City hairstylist Christine Geiger is facing a discrimination charge after telling transgender people to seek services at a “pet groomer” rather than at her salon.
She must have been barking mad.

Quote:A so-called "internet apocalypse" could be on the horizon as a result of an impending solar superstorm, a scientist warns. Professor Peter Becker, a lead researcher at George Mason University, recently told FOX Weather that the sun has been relatively quiet as the internet came of age, but there's a 10 percent chance that in the next decade, "something really large is going to happen that could potentially wipe out the internet."
