congrats to everyone for thinking this through before signing very big contracts to put it on every student’s device at the school or university you run

I am older than gender markers on passports! How do you regulate gender? By making it a form of government ID. It has nothing to do with state security, only regulation

when will a frankenstein movie be brave enough to let us see the doctor choosing the dick

I am very desperate. My daughter is dying in front of my eyes. No one is helping me. I lost my husband, my job, my home and everything. I cannot lose her too. I am begging you. My foot was injured by a quadcopter. I need to buy medicine and food for her as well plz help🙏🙏 gofund.me/bec64b33

Today I tried to explain to my hysterical toddler why his hair is falling out in clumps. It went about as well as you could expect (awfully). Later, after his midday nap, we had a head-shaving party where I let him shave my head, and his uncle and cousin did theirs on FaceTime.

"SLOPPER" I'm losing my mind

I could try to make moral arguments about spending your Spotify fee on one Bandcamp album a month. But let's go simpler. It is *so easy* to just switch from Spotify to Tidal, Apple, or Qobuz! You won't barely notice the difference! You can move your playlists! The audio quality is better!

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

In an analysis of OpenAI's costs, revenues and funding from 2023 to 1H 2025, it raised $28.6bn in cash ($10bn rev included), and had $13.7bn in cash losses. Reports say OpenAI ended 1H 2025 with $9.6bn. It should have $14.9bn in cash. There's a $4.1bn+ hole. www.wheresyoured.at/where-is-ope...

Easily the most transparent scam in history. Credit where credit is due, they are indeed Openly stealing as much money as possible.

We analysed every line of X’s algorithm we could get our hands on. Here’s what we found. Read on: www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Not now, carnivorous death ball

Protests on an outback road in the Northern Territory have refocused attention on Pine Gap, the secretive US satellite base near Alice Springs. The protesters have tried to block workers from accessing the facility, which they claim is aiding Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Nour Haydar speaks with seni…

I'm begging journalists to look into this. I know first hand how many schools/religious institutions/restaurants/sport clubs etc. had fundraisers over the past 2 years for Gaza and handed big checks to multiple organizations. Millions and millions of dollars meant for the people of Gaza...

THEY FUCKING KNEW AND DID NOT CARE!!! absolutely evil

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

Why are we treating a consumer product that can cause psychosis or even kill people as something like a microwave that needs a firmware update instead of being classified as the most dangerous hallucinogen on the planet?

Dear @rweingarten.bsky.social and @aft.org: Please cancel your partnership with this evil company and stop pushing “A.i.” on teachers and students.

Probably because the ban has absolutely nothing to do with child safety whatsoever, it is about limiting and controlling access to information for young people, as well as slowly forcing everyone to adopt a digital ID. The whole thing is an absurd farce that’s going to fail in spectacular fashion.

BREAKING: The Philippines declares a state of emergency after Typhoon Kalmaegi leaves at least 114 dead and hundreds missing in central provinces.

oh my god they actually did it lmao

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

Something most people don’t know about this cancer journey: the steroids they put the kids on at the start of treatment make them incredibly hungry. It’s unreal how much my son’s been eating. He’s 3, and I’ve seen him eat a whole large pizza then turn to me and say, “Dad, I’m hungry.”

I like a lot of the left/anti-Zionism podcasters in the U.S. but the one thing y'all don't do enough is invite Palestinians on your show & let them talk. Another thing Irish folks do without having to pressure them into it. Go listen to @tonygroves.bsky.social's podcast and check out his guest list

Every single time Dems have a big win, there's a contingent of the party ready to explain how it's a loss. But it's a loss for that contingent whose main goal is to lick Repub boots. They'll be on their deathbeds with tongues lolling out wanting one more taste of Repub boot pleather.

3 killed and at least 7 wounded in new Israeli attacks across Gaza on Monday ▪️Israeli strikes north of Rafah in southern Gaza killed three people this morning. ▪️Three Palestinians, including a child, were wounded by Israeli fire east of Gaza City, al-Ahli Hospital told Al Jazeera. ▪️An Israeli...

Folks, Israel is not letting aid in which means Palestinians continue to have to buy food on the black market from Israel sponsored gangs. If you can donate a little money to the fundraisers we're posting, you can keep someone alive. Palestinians wouldn't beg if they didn't have to.

meanwhile the words: "Every time one of these murderers dies w/o having faced consequences for the massacres they ordered, the lives they destroyed, the societies they razed to the ground I realize how far we are from a world with justice. Rest in hell Dick Cheney. Your legacy is death." 🔥🔥🔥

Just 35 days to the 10 December social media ban deadline and Labor announces 2 more platforms being roped in - they’re making it up on the fly - 2.5 million young people are being disrespected and everyone’s privacy treated like a joke

Palestinians desperate to return to homes in the nearly 60% of Gaza that Israel still occupies are being shot dead by Israeli soldiers. 1 more were killed today. In many areas there are no visible markings for the so-called “yellow line,” and BBC News found Israeli forces firing on and wiping out...

I'm not sure this can be read without tears. Stunning poem.

A poem I wrote some months ago showed up at my door today in the first issue of the relaunched Southerly magazine.

they all write/talk like this now and it feels like a new genre: hate smut; manic, agitated vitriol that reads like it was written while feverishly masturbating to revenge fantasies

I really hope Americans understand that the forced famine in Gaza and this are intrinsically connected

“Love is productive” is a Word, a Sentence, a whole damn lesson. Whew. I needed that!

Our friend Omar's son has Leukemia and just started treatment. If you can support this GFM it would be fantastic

I keep optimistically taking my laptop with me to the hospital as if I’m going to be able to work while my toddler gets chemo but even though, for the most part, he watches movies and TV shows on his iPad, I can’t do anything other than sit next to him in a sort of alarmed fugue state.

British police said 10 people have been hospitalized, nine with life-threatening injuries, following a mass stabbing attack on a London-bound train Saturday evening, and that counter-terrorism police are supporting the investigation. n.pr/49yyTqb

This story, published in July, becomes more relevant with every passing day as lawmakers and activists work to shutter clinics and restrict access to abortion pills. We are careening toward a not-so-distant future where abortion is just a right on paper, even in the states where it's still legal:

Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it. Join us and let's make hope normal again. join.greenparty.org.uk

Astonishing advance by the Greens, astonishing implosion of Labour. When will Starmer's government get the message that it is destroying its base with deeply unpopular, rightwing policies? By chasing Reform, it legitimises the far right while delegitimising itself.

We're now finding out that as many as 70,000 people had their government IDs provided to prove their ages leaked by Discord. Like I wrote last week, this is an inherent risk (and made greater by a rushed process) of getting platforms to do age checks
