Aaahh!!! Real Housewives

... i love that when it's about autonomy you're a child until 25 but when it's prison sentences and work contracts suddenly you're an adult at 14 (in terms of hours, not pay of course) 🙂🙂🙂

As a Black man with Tourette Syndrome, the Public Advocate has some thoughts on BAFTA, Pt. 1: Hear about his experience with Coprolalia, his thoughts on how BAFTA mishandled the moment, and the need for care for all who are harmed: Full video: youtu.be/FgaqKIxS4Hs

Here’s the thing about folks speedrunning the creative process with AI: I could go to the beach every morning and put a grain of sand in a cup. They’d take their cup to the beach and fill it one day; but the point isn’t to have a cup of sand. It’s to fill my life with a thousand trips to the beach.

also if this were real - it is not! - we'd have to tackle the ethical concerns about our army of SENTIENT ROBOT SLAVES

I think people still underestimate the extent to which the panic over an increase in trans boys transitioning is about the belief that AFAB bodies are rightfully for breeding and should be preserved as property belonging to their future husbands.

I think this article (from a black man and a father to a child with similar disabilities) is a good take on the incident. variety.com/2026/film/aw...

The Epstein files document what many women researchers have long experienced but rarely seen laid bare so starkly: exclusion operating behind closed doors, shaping who gets funded, invited, mentored, and taken seriously. How many of these networks, norms, and gatekeepers remain in place?

The European commissioner for human rights urges countries planning to exercise authoritarian restrictions on children's access to online connection to instead focus on creating safer online platforms that protect children's rights.

"Why does BlueSky hate journalists so much?" This shit, right here, in a story that had absolutely nothing to do with trans people: "narcissistic lawyers forcing puberty blockers on pre-teens to advance their political ambitions"

these people treat being called racist like it is a slur, and treat slurs like they're mere differences of opinion

my point is the BBC did not need to broadcast the hard r and open John Davidson up to wider humiliation and given the far right a broadcast quality clip of Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo being called the n-word but they made that choice.

Hey so the way we stop people with this specific kind of Tourette's from yelling slurs is to end the systems that form the associations between slurs and the people they harm in the first place. But people wanna be either anti-Black or ableist instead of seeing the forest for the trees. Funny that.

Well this story blew up. Went to the front page of reddit, hacker news, Gizmodo. People donated thousands of dollars to the legal fund of Jeff Sovern, who dismantled 13 Flock surveillance cameras. The response was near-universal enthusiasm for the project of smashing invasive, exploitative tech.

ripped the fucking ground right out from under me. how the fuck is it 2026 and @jacobgeller.com found something new to say about BIOSHOCK, of all the over-discussed games, and not only something new but *profound*, and quietly a little devastating (a jacob geller video-essay trademark, to be fair).

It’s a different bloke in the Blobby costume every year, as the old one is sacrificed to guarantee a bountiful harvest

Any type of melon except watermelon

Taken me a minute to figure out how to react to this, but especially with Yoko Taro at the helm it’s a “thanks, I hate it” from me

To all of the artists in the TTRPG space or any looking to do TTRPG art, we are looking to bring another artist on to help with some magic items. If you're interested, please email us at [email protected] with any questions and where we can see your work! This is a paid opportunity!

Pidj has shared it publicly on the kickstarter so I can preen a little about the illuminated border I did for what is going to be a sumptuous zine of mini-games: www.kickstarter.com/projects/sun... Invest in creatives! The call is open for marginalia creature suggestions in the updates section.

if you like (or love) - the sea - the idea of a game where you can play AS the sea - intertextuality - strange imagery to spark the imagination then have a look <3

the Irish Department of Social Protection has a Public Consultation on the Cost of Disability and anyone interested can make a written submission, a video submission, or a submission by phone. the deadline is 7 April 2026. www.gov.ie/en/departmen...

Make the AI bros explain, in every interview, every medium, every time, how many deaths is their ability to not write their own emails worth.

This incredibly creepy project is located between two pubs and surrounded by several more, and I have to wonder about the intent behind that choice of location.

So, @ketanjoshi.co who has been on the beat for a long time, actually looked into the story of if "AI" can "solve climate change". Conceptually as well as evidence based. Super worth reading and sharing around.

I’m going to keep sharing this PSA: although the MMR is usually given at 12 and 18 months, your baby can get a first dose as early as 6 months. They will still need the other two doses, because immunity doesn’t stick at that age, and insurance may not cover it. But it’s protection.

Another example of how disabled rights and trans rights are linked; this issue with shared care happens to many groups and we need to fight it as a systemic issue

vote labour: because you're probably faking it for attention

HELLO I WAS A QUEER TEEN IN THE 1990s AND THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST SOCIAL TRANSITION NOW ARE INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST "LETTING" US BE (at the time, for me) GAY OR LESBIAN THEN. They all rest on the belief that it's inherently better to be straight (then)/cis (now) and that's BS.

FWIW, I just emailed NYT's standards editor to ask about the paper's policy on this. Will update if I get a response.

This is a weird old time to have studied Classics in any great depth

UK Discord users have raised concerns about the company's new age verification processes. https://bit.ly/4kBCxTD

Fundamental category error: there's no reason to forgive information dispensers for dispensing incorrect information, any more than I'd "forgive" a ticket machine dispensing the wrong ticket & charging me a million quid. We forgive humans on an ethical and emotional basis, not informational.

it keeps going back and forth between being infuriating and funny how much we study this when the answer is always the same and it never matters

genuinely pisses me off how many people will never get to live their creative dreams and bring true art into the world because they were born poor but fennell will get as many chances as she wants, forever, despite being a black hole of talent, because she was born wealthy

In a recent interview, I was asked about the British Museum as a site of public history. I replied that I'm not sure that that's what the BM is engaged in. The British Museum is about power, and power frequently seeks to obscure history.

I get it but also I need me or someone else to be able to call my partner and/or a cab if I have a seizure at a concert, so we as a collective are going to need to need to come up with an alternative to locking everyone’s phones away

if you want to actually like any of the protagonists Wuthering Heights is not the book for you if you are just here for Mess it is an incredible time

I really don't think employers should be allowed to ask people about gaps in their employment. That's my hot take for today. If you need to know about unspent convictions you're getting that information anyway, and otherwise it's none of your business.

‘As with Section 28, young people are presented with a choice between state-mandated abuse, or staying in the closet. The overall aim is to stop trans children from existing altogether’

I really feel like in the year 2026, anything declaring a “new world order” should get an instant and definitive no

At least 12 WI groups are closing or considering closure after the organisation barred transgender women from membership. Members say more groups are likely to close, and that the federation’s decision has opened up a toxic, traditionalist culture that will deter younger women from joining.

Minneapolis residents are facing a growing food crisis. Fear from ICE is keeping families—especially elders, parents, and the homebound from groceries. Feed Minneapolis funds trusted local food shelves and kitchens, with a goal of feeding 10,000 people in 2 weeks. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fe...

i'm often guilty of taking transphobes too credulously. i take so much pleasure in pointing out the absurdity of their arguments - they are so fucking stupid - that i forget to consider whether literally a single one of their foundational premises is not just made up. and now look.
