Conservatives think the state should protect them from the traumatizing experience of encountering people unlike them. For some reason this never came up in the heyday of “snowflake,” “trigger warning” or “safe space” discourse bsky.app/profile/kiss...

Hey all, it’s publishing day for my book “How to Sell a Genocide,” which is a data-driven account of centrist and liberal media’s role in creating the conditions of mass death in Gaza. 100% of royalties go to @mecaforpeace.bsky.social. > www.plutobooks.com/product/how-... > a.co/d/00CQcElr

@sianberry.bsky.social and @zoegarbett.bsky.social joined the National Housing Demo to demand rent controls and outline why voting Green on 7th May is a vote for affordable housing.

How To Live A Good Life #oldknees

seeing trans joy and gender euphoria literally helped me access Cis+, and become way more comfortable expressing my femininity. Words can't express how grateful I am to the trans community for that!!!

every outlet should do montages, montages are the best, if you're not doing montages you're a bad news outlet

in the early days of the net websites used to have messages like "welcome to my amazing webzone, i hope you enjoy the things i've collected that represent my strange mind." now they're just like "by clicking this box you agree to recieve targeted advertisements in your dreams"

in general, & across the world, the political gender divide really opens up around 2016 wonder if something happened then?

The full illustration I did for @taplingzines.bsky.social "We've Always Been Here" The zine depicts queer couples throughout cultures and history and I had the honours of portraying a Japanese lesbian couple in an underground bar during the 80s✨ #queer #lesbians #illustration

<editing the Palantir manifesto> So… you’re PayPal guys, right? You sold a wire transaction service for the internet? And now you… want to reform western society? Sorry, was it JUST PayPal? Do you have other work you can point to? Cultural? Societal? You invested in Facebook? OK I’d leave that out.

One year ago today. Our small, skilled, volunteer team hasn’t stopped since the FWS judgment, and we need your help. Will you support our work? www.zeffy.com/en-GB/donati... Most of what we do is behind the scenes, but here’s how we have used your funding so far:

Israel continues to break new ground in the depths of depravity. Truly the most heinous government supported by the most immoral and rotten society.

Inconvenience? I just had to dig seven pages deep to find the unsubscribe for one of the four TV subscriptions I need, I'm measured & optimized against in my supermarket, lamps, music, games, and travel. Every service I love gets enshittified to buy billionaires yachts worth 100 times my house.

This seems like it has been handled exceptionally poorly by BAFTA. They would have had these assets for plenty of time to be able to create a CW to run before the trailer, but moreover they were the ones putting together this showcase and surely must have known the premise of the game, right?

Tomorrow, we join 40+ housing organisations in London demanding rent controls and investment in council homes. Join us from 1pm, and hear @sianberry.bsky.social and @zoegarbett.bsky.social set out Green plans for housing that puts community needs before developer profits.

It's hard to articulate the level of anger & rage I have about watching this happen. I first saw weev doxx people I love *TWENTY* years ago. I spoke to founders of multiple social networks about the risk of these people over 15 years ago. I wrote about it all a dozen+ years ago. They let it happen.

The problem nowadays is that CEOs don't want to work. They just want money for laying people off and blathering about AI, not for producing any positive or concrete improvement to the business. They expect hundreds of millions for thousands of job loses and it's weak sauce, snowflake behaviour.

With regards to that last repost, reviews can mean a lot to smaller developers, so I'm gonna put out a little call to action. Everyone following me? DO THIS NOW! I'm asking for replies so more folks pick this up, and continue it. Please take this graphic and ask your followers to do the same!

The thing that gets me about these celebrities and public figures who have become morbidly fixated on trans people over the last decade, is how the media treats their unhealthy obsession like it’s simply a casual opinion.

A new poster for Coyote Vs. Acme has been revealed at CinemaCon as well as confirmation that the first trailer will be dropping next week. It is so surreal this is finally coming out, but I am more than hyped given all it went through! I cannot wait to see this!

"I want to support the artists" isn't even a valid reason to go to so-called blockbusters at the theater anymore. The studios don't even want to support the artists. The artists are just another roadblock between them and an optional fifth bathroom on the CEO's brand new yacht.

Alright I’ll try and be professional. Let’s see how this goes. Your move @bsky.app moderation team. Also it’s hilarious I have to explain First Contact Day in an email.

Life in the UK is unaffordable. Today, the Green Party announces our plan to fix it: 💡 No energy bill rise in July. 🏘️ Rent controls to protect households. 📉 Re-join the customs union to lower costs. End the affordability crisis. Vote Green in May.💚

Just learned from this - apparently this is your last chance to grab the choice-based Star Trek game before it gets delisted!

AI is profoundly unpopular. A recent NBC News poll found that among 18-34 year-olds, AI's net favorability rating is -44. *Negative 44*. Those are basically serial killer numbers. It's not much better among women 18-49. (Men over 50 and upper class are the only ones who like AI, and just barely.)

This passage is specifically about the Iran war but it's remarkable how well this characterizes their attitude toward everything, the arrogance behind their assault on expertise and competence at all levels in every endeavor.

I just don't understand how we've managed to get ourselves into a place where having a home - something I would have as a child seen as a baseline - is felt as an enormous position of privilege, something you spend half your life working for and still can only achieve with help or luck.

I regret to inform y'all that Hans Zimmer fuckin sucks.

The ADL has gone from a civil rights organization to a pro-Israel antisemitism tollbooth

I suspect the Pope sounds "woke" to many Christian conservatives because the US is steeped in prosperity theology, where the point of worship is to deliver health and wealth to believers. Thus, "feed the hungry" and "show mercy for the poor" sounds needlessly political and "woke."

The greatest lie I ever believed was that local newspapers died because the internet made them irrelevant. Newspapers were wounded by the internet, they DIED because of private equity vulture owners, full stop. One of the first industries targeted. (Read “Bad Company.”)
