Limitados por políticas de Trump, los registros de cáncer solo reconocerán a pacientes como “hombre” o “mujer”

Las máximas autoridades en estadísticas del cáncer de Estados Unidos pronto deberán clasificar el sexo de los pacientes estrictamente como hombre, mujer o desconocido, un cambio que, según científicos y defensores de pacientes, afectará negativamente la salud de la población transgénero, una de las más marginadas del país. Médicos y activistas por los derechos de las personas trans aseguran que esta modificación dificultará enormemente la comprensión de los diagnósticos y las tendencias del cáncer en esta población. Algunos estudios han demostrado que entre las personas transgénero es más frecuente el consumo de tabaco y menos habitual los controles de…

An indie studio says it's at risk of closure after Valve banned its game from Steam

Indie studio Santa Ragione said it is at risk of shutting down as its latest project won't be available on Steam, which is by far the biggest storefront for PC games and a key point of sale for many developers. Horses, a first-person horror game that blends gameplay and live-action sequences, is about a college student who spends a summer working on a farm. However, the farm’s “horses” are actually naked human adults who are wearing horse masks. It’s clear from the trailer that this is a game for grownups. The studio plans to release Horses on the Epic Games…

The Guardian view on the peers lobbying scandal: Lords reform is a vital step for restoring trust in democracy | Editorial

Although some appointees make valuable contributions, the absurd archaism of the second chamber of parliament has to be addressed Not much about the House of Lords is defensible on principles of democratic representation. One plausible merit of an appointed chamber is that specialists might be recruited to apply non-political expertise in legislative scrutiny. Appointees are certainly not supposed to use their privileged position to advance the interests of paying clients. After a Guardian investigation, two peers were disciplined this week for breaking lobbying rules. Lord Dannatt, a former head of the British army who served as a crossbencher, and…

Scrapping the two‑child benefit cap, putting up gambling taxes, freezing rail fares and implementing a mansion tax are not just sensible moves – they are long overdue. As is a “managed transition” for the North Sea that supports workers while pivoting to clean energy, without abruptly ditching oil and gas. The country will be a better, fairer place for these measures. They should also assuage backbench anger…

Solar’s growth in US almost enough to offset rising energy use

Worries about the US grid’s ability to handle the surge in demand due to data center growth have made headlines repeatedly over the course of 2025. And, early in the year, demand for electricity had surged by nearly 5 percent compared to the year prior, suggesting the grid might truly be facing a data center apocalypse. And that rise in demand had a very unfortunate effect: Coal use rose for the first time since its recent collapse began. But since the first-quarter data was released, demand has steadily eroded. As of yesterday’s data release by the Energy Information Administration…
