Same. I only lived to my 2nd birthday because of antibiotics, probably only made it to 5 because of vaccines, would have been blind by 25 and dead by 40 for different reasons (survived both crises because of modern medical interventions). Fuck that RFK Jr. shitheel. I hope he dies of cysticercosis.

Hey everyone. Potentially the biggest story in the country, right here. substack.com/home/post/p-...

This is just blatant self soothing, it refers to global events like covid or the war in Ukraine as explanations for Britain's malaise, but then ignores them for other countries, the reality is the UK was hit worse and has recovered worse, in part due to brexit, in part because you were in government

Heard an interview today where a guy said (and I'm paraphrasing) "LLMs have had years to train on every aspect of chess, read every book and article about it, review every match, but when they play, they STILL makes illegal moves. That tells you everything." And. Yup.

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison. Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water. Our priorities are so fucked.

This is what a rigged economy looks like.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

A local animal rescue centre, Severn Valley Rescue, was badly battered by the winter weather and needs help to continue operations. Please consider donating. #shropshire gofund.me/1b670fe50

This is genuinely insane, I clicked to see the years expecting the low part to be 70s or maybe 90s but its 2015!!!!! The entire anti trans panic is a decade old

These are the assholes responsible for getting a bunch of writers almost completely chased of the internet and me chased out of my apartment back in the Skepchick blog days a decade ago. We thought it was just misogynists. Turned out it was *highly funded* misogynists. These guys are the worst.

I expect the extreme right to lie. But I'm exhausted when I see the left editing images, using AI and misrepresenting things. The truth is enough, we don't need to stoop to the level of liars and tyrants.

It’s happening again.

Buying Harry Potter anything directly funds transphobic policy in the UK, and implies support of it according to the author. An author who was in contact with Epstein after his conviction, getting advice about spreading bigotry. I grew up obsessed with the books but I won't touch any of it now.

Starmer is a vicious transphobe, Sarwar is a vicious transphobe, if their idiot political wranglings happen to simultaneously undermine one another, I'll be shedding no tears for either. It'd be nice if their main focus was helping people though, eh?

I now have an app to help me track housework. Let's see how this goes...

I’m not too worried about having to compete with AI comics. What I worry most about is the kids coming up who will think they have to give their comics the same level of polish as an AI comic. You for sure do not!! There is a reason almost no one draws every background and spots every highlight.

This is true. But this whole zero-sum thing, it infects everything. The true winners in life, they win at everything - because our whole society is set up to facilitate that. And when you’re in the 1%, and life is an unending stream of wins, what is left but knowing that others are losing? (1)

It's called being an "ambulatory wheelchair user"

In an effort to fight back against AI, I will be giving away a free copy of @aseprite.org to help support artwork made by humans💜 How to participate: -Like this post -Comment "pixel" -Follow me Please repost to spread the word! 🙏 Winner randomly chosen on 2/15/26!

"I need AI to make art, human art is only for the rich and privileged-"

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

its #RuinedPrioryFriday & there's this curious quartet of monastic sites in a crescent around Shrewsbury which deserves a bit of a thread 🧵👇

It's not just the decision to give public money and public data to a sworn enemy of everything we stand for, appalling though that is. It's also the secrecy and illegal shutting out of any competition. What does Palantir have on Streeting and Starmer - and did Mandelson give it to them?

The word don't is censored. Don't, or Don T. If you're looking for just some fun proof they're doing control+f censoring

when i was a 16yo girl i thought i was an adult. coaching 12-17yo girls as a 28yo really hammered home how much i was wrong about being an adult at 16 and how obvious it is to actual adults that a 16yo is not an adult. if they say they cannot tell they are lying because they are a creep.

Imagine living in a world where people become billionaires by causing human suffering... writing books so popular you become the rare billionaire who gets rich without causing human suffering... and then deciding to use those billions to cause human suffering anyway just for the love of the game.

Also: bsky.app/profile/kris... "It was pitiful. It was like watching some TV gourmet chef eat a piece of buttered toast and squeal, "But this is delicious! Unheard of! Where has it been all my life?" (Source: www.ala.org/sites/defaul..., pg 22.)

What do we reckon then? Linehan in the Epstein files or not important enough to be worth connecting to? I could go either way. But it certainly seems like all the high profile transphobes are in it. Btw arrest Rowling for wiping her yacht's records. She's hiding something.

The UK Mainstream media is heavily scrutinising (and rightfully so) the links that both AMW and PM had with JE; but what I would like to see also is an explanation of this particular image. Where is the scrutiny? Why focus just on an irrelevant ex-royal and a former ambassador?

xbox live took stronger action against jeffrey epstein than the entire us government

Everything is particularly terrible today, but...

Hedge is a cool guy and very funny. If you work in games and know of vacancies in your company please think of him.

Monetisation The advert said MONETISE YOUR FOLLOWERS so he thought he would respond by painting them in the changing light, like waterlilies in a pond.

Today is "Large boulder the size of a small boulder" day!

I do not say this lightly when I tell you, as a proud Scot, that this is the funniest thing Keir Starmer has ever done.

JUST IN: In a new lawsuit, Minnesota officials say DHS mishandled evidence from today's crime scene and made "astonishing" law enforcement decisions. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

100%. If you want an alternative slogan you can go with "Abolish ICE before they kill again."

ICE agents killed a man and are disappearing the witnesses.

ICE is a violent terrorist gang and every single person in it should be jailed. Those in leadership positions should be tried in the Hague.

Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

There is no level to which these heartless shit-for-brains won’t stoop to inflict cruelty and suffering.
