I wrote about the irony of Platner and his campaign trying to convince journalists, commentators and voters that they had outsmarted the trappings of traditional masculinity, only to come crashing down as a result of it:

In rape culture, everything a woman says means yes and nothing she says means no. This seems to assert that though she said not to come over, said no repeatedly, struggled against Platner, an ambiguous prior comment constituted irrevocable consent. Not a shocking breach not to include it.

Hmmm, I wonder why that is, Jillian?

2/ 'The commission has called Ms Segal to speak to concerns about ABC and SBS coverage. She is due to testify before the broadcasters when proceedings get underway at 10am AEST on Thursday.' I'd bet $50,000 that this will mos def Advance the discourse.

America’s Independence Day Parade in downtown DC (July 4, 10:30AM) has been CANCELED by organizers due to Extreme Heat Warning. Heat index 110-115F. #Climate

Pretty sad yeah, and as usual makes it easier for "liberal Zionists" to ignore any factual pro-Palestinian sources. Fuck this guy and never forget: Anti-Zionism ain't antisemitism even though some anti-Zionists are antisemites.

welp there is no longer a single ounce of plausible deniability left that roger waters is a deranged antisemite. just awful as a floyd fan.

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

Ur welcome to seize all of my empty homes actually Vanessa, hope that helps x

Um HELLO I have three WILDLY amazing blurbs from three even more incredible authors! This is what @pdjeliclark.bsky.social, @scumbelievable.bsky.social, and @indrapramitdas.bsky.social have to say about my book - a horror about a Palestinian haunted house 😭🩷 Preorders here :) linktr.ee/deenahelm

this doesn't even have the full context which makes it funnier

MEL BROOKS IS ALIVE PLEASE BEAR THAT IN MIND WHEN YOU SEE BIRTHDAY POSTS ABOUT HIM TODAY I REPEAT MEL BROOKS IS VERY MUCH ALIVE

Climate fatalism is exactly what the fossil fuel industry wants us to feel. Don't give in. Ketan's one of our best climate science communicators, and he puts it very clearly here.

YT link www.youtube.com/shorts/NGM1X...

So here are some thoughts on this heatwave: against fatalism, against inevitability, and against the fossil fuel industry's ongoing efforts to ensure they do as much damage as they can over the coming decades. These fossil-fuelled extremes emerge from decisions we can identify in recent history

The ABC has been doing a lot of very good reporting on data centres, but this is absolute garbage. Bryce is a long-time anti-renewable campaigner and fossil fuel advocate trying to cynically cash in on this. Aly and Mackenzie are lazy and perpetually underprepared. What an embarrassment.

You've got to respect a ratio like this. The most perfectly-formed dumb shit aimed squarely at the bsky readership.

A Megaphone investigation shows that Israel deliberately tracked journalist Amal Khalil, targeted her, and obstructed efforts to rescue her.

Starmer saying the next PM will inherit a country that is 'fairer' than the one he inherited 2 years ago. In the one Starmer inherited, trans people could use public toilets.

Also known as Hollo

I, too, have decided to step down as Prime Minister of the UK. It's time for new blood (my cat, Lola). (Picture of new PM provided for full transparency)

We have to stop this immediately. The entire purpose of this LLM farce is to totally invalidate knowledge itself, to destroy information once and for all as a tool to hold power to account: when truth can’t be validated because any image or story might be generated by a bot.

AI models on Peter Hollo. I'm in the top 8%. 530 strength? Most of the models have something a bit weird to say. Claude Haiku 4.5 and Gemini 3.1 Lite are the least incorrect I guess. https://intheweights.com/p/peter-hollo

A war criminal and... three other war criminals 🤔

Alright, I've put all my music up on @subvert.fm now. Still love @bandcamp.com but it's nice to have somewhere else, and Subvert is a co-op! Pricing a bit wonky as it's in USD for the moment. https://www.subvert.fm/raven

one anecdote: I was searching for a link to one of my old papers on Google, and the automated Gemini summary attributed all of my lab's work to my husband

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

people clowning on this take, but almost everyone I know who voted to repeal the eighth did so because they thought abortions built houses

The entire US middle class - about 20% of the population - has a collective net worth of $13 trillion. The bottom 50% of the US population COMBINED has a net worth of $4 trillion. Elon Musk has a net worth of a trillion dollars by himself.

I hope Amal doesn't mind that I share this portion of her Nebula speech here. I think it's important. And not just for authors. For everyone.

Liberals lie and trans kids die

I started riding a bike full time when I moved to Oslo and quickly switched to walking / PT full-time because the danger you face is pretty significant and I can't put my kid in harm's way My conclusion was that *car lanes are bad*, and I am against car lanes and car culture in general

You can tell Mamdani what you think about this here: www.nyc.gov/mayors-offic...

It's a wretched outlook, and a betrayal of the scheme's basic ethos. As an aside, it won't save money. Not in the long run. The financial costs of nation-wide unmet needs will be *vast*.

The proposed changes to the NDIS are frightening. Among other things, there'd be more emphasis on "financial sustainability", and more vital decisions automated. theconversation.com/the-governme...

A lot of good commentary on how the police's messaging on Belfast is so much better than the media - depressingly true! - but it's also not new. Police Federation chair Liam Kelly described last year's violence in Ballymena as “mindless, unacceptable and feral” and “a pogrom” *at the time*.

Today, the most stagnant fund I host is: • Maram: chuffed.org/project/maram • Last donation: June 3 • Maram has lost her source of income, and is now solely responsible for her family's survival. Help them cope with complex medical needs and secure food.

It's pretty gracious of him to show up at all, given that his side lost.

As much as I definitely enjoy solitude I wouldn't mind perhaps Spending little time with you Sometimes, sometimes Björk is a genius. The two times the strings do their little wobbly glissando and then the tonal centre slides from the tonic - Bmaj7 - up to chord II - C#m - is spine-tingling. 1/

"The first movie ever made was released in 1887. That movie is called 'Air Bud,' and it is about a dog who is good at passing a three-dimensional sphere through a two-dimensional hoop, which is illegal."

After ICE deported Wendy Hernandez Reyes, it turned her 3-year-old son Orlin over to her sister’s estranged partner, who tortured Orlin and beat him to death. I can’t say what I think should happen to those responsible without violating this website’s TOS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Governments around the world have largely forsaken the people of Gaza. Chartities struggle to get aid through to them. With their agriculture and infrastructure destroyed, they can't save themselves. It's now up to ordinary people to keep families like Samaa's alive. #Gaza 🍉

“Israeli forces systematically employ rape and sexual torture to humiliate Palestinian female detainees”: one woman was "shackled naked to a metal table as Israeli soldiers forcibly had sex with her over two days while other soldiers filmed the attacks." @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/o...

"IT ABSOLUTELY WILL STOP!!!"

Isn't this the bit in the film where you get it back into its coffin and really hammer the thing shut this time?

Adham is the first Palestinian I quote-tweeted to help share his fundraiser, years ago. Everyone knows he's real, including the people and admins who kick him off this platform for being Palestinian & a survivor of Israel's genocide. He's struggling. You can help him keep surviving:
