We highlighted, earlier this year, the way police officers had targeted and arrested an independent legal observer wearing a face mask for health reasons, because of cancer treatment. We just heard about a similar incident a few months ago, again involving a legal observer netpol.org/2026/03/28/p...

NCOSE, one of the main groups pushing KOSA, has been caught citing fake cases in an attempt to shut down legal sex work. Why are Dems like @blumenthal.senate.gov still treating the faith-based, anti-porn group as respectable, reliable legislative partner?

As a general reminder, Ben Shapiro originally wanted to make "Lady Ballers" as a documentary but had to give up on the idea because no one in the cast would agree to undergo the medical requirements necessary for them to be eligible to participate in competitive Women's sporting events.

I could say, with greater justice, that the "certain frisson" you, Will Stancil, experience when frivolously accusing someone — or accusing a legitimate turn of phrase — of antisemitism, a frisson that doesn't attach to simply expressing your disagreement, is anti-Palestinian racism.

PlayStation is deleting 551 purchased movies from its customers' accounts, reminding us nothing digital is ever truly ours https://kotaku.com/playstation-store-movies-digital-studio-canal-terminator-2000711013

This is why they have been astroturfing extremely racist propaganda hate campaigns using the media platforms they bought. It doesn’t occur to them that this is a weird thing to do, because they think it’s what MeToo was, what BLM was. They think they’re under assault by master criminals.

If the left in almost every white people country was now all just obvious cranks demanding prison camps for wrong-thinkers and liquidating the wealthy and seizing their assets, we would probably be hearing a lot about there being something fundamentally wrong and bad about left wing politics.

It’s obvious beyond saying, but if Obama had pretended a golf caddy was a respected historian and used him to claim he was the greatest leader the world had ever seen, it would follow him forever. He would be a laughing stock. For Trump, it’s the footnote to one day’s similarly embarrassing things.

Immediately after the fall of the Assad government Israel began a project of turning southern Syria into a new version of the West Bank, with house confiscations and demolitions and a new network of military bases. The government yesterday indicated that their presence in Syria would be permanent:

Quite pointed that he will do this but won’t do anything about the incitement, hate and disinformation on X.

The "Only Moral Abortion Is My Abortion" observation may need generalizing to The Only Immoral Assault Is My Assault. Cf. Lyndsey Fifield (who's accused Graham Platner of intimate partner violence) having co-founded Ladies for [Brett] Kavanaugh and writing off Kavanaugh accusations as bogus.

Though I notice the directive pretty much forced Anthropic to block virtually everyone from Fable 5 regardless of location or nationality. Reads to me more as an attempt to punish Anthropic than to preserve US-specific competitive advantage.

Musk deserves more ire than he's gotten, not less. But there's plenty to go around, and much of it should be directed at the army of sensible, respectable suits who've nodded along while fascists flood the zone with racist bile, eagerly sanitising their talking points for as long as I've been alive.

"Playing footsie with conspiracy theories" is "dangerous", actually, decides guy who's repeatedly complained about political actors congregating in group chats to plot and to cook their brains.

A fascinating write-up. An aside that jumped out at me: European electricity users face "a few minutes of outages per year" whereas US users face 2-11 _hours_ per year. One of the hidden economic variables that may explain why US quality of life relative to Europe's is overstated by income stats?

One tidbit really stood out to me while reporting: SAIC put Prof Talwar on leave because assigning the case study threatens "immediate harm" to students The only time AAUP standards recommend removing a prof from class is if there's a threat of immediate harm www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

Seems like a worthy target for a divestment campaign by teachers' unions. Doesn't SpaceX's own filing say most of its future value comes from the robo-grooming chatbot?

Lest we'd forgotten that the Efficient Markets Hypothesis is false.

A former defense editor for The Economist, who wants more of the UK's public spending to be spent on doohickeys to turn people into pink mist clouds, has an opinion on how unpleasant we are compared to Nazis on X.

We’ve identified the culprits for the racist riots, folks. You won’t believe

Eddington (Aster, 2025)

Some really crazy cases in here - cop looked up ex-girlfriend and family in Flock 100+ times - cop stalked wife giving "test" as reason - cop searched one plate 395 times in 10 months; was later fired Cops keep getting arrested for using Flock to stalk people www.404media.co/cops-keep-ge...

Gonna be reeeeeeaal fuckin' interesting to see how this randos-can-harass-suspected-trans-people-in-sex-segregated-public-facilities proposal interacts with the UK's shiny new law against [checks notes] "sex-based harassment".

Also less than ideal that the former head of the CIA is saying the head of the British intelligence service was never anything less than instantly and totally cooperative, when asked for anything. Unless you think the CIA always have good intentions, of course.

Call me paranoid if you will, but I do think it’s less than ideal, if the country’s most prominent lobby journalists line up one after another to say they were all great friends of the head of the secret intelligence service, myself. I think it should be clear why that’s not so great.

#OtD 7 Jun 2016 African-American lesbian Black Lives Matter activist Jasmine Abdullah was sentenced to prison in California for a crime which was called "felony lynching" for attempting to de-arrest a fellow protester stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1072...

Anthropic keeps claiming it opposes authoritarian governments. Anthropic also keeps taking money from an Authoritarian government. It's a glaring contradiction the company refuses to discuss. theintercept.com/2026/06/06/a...

Every single refugee we've let in since December is supposedly fleeing white genocide.

Looks like a sheer fabric when it's shaved that thin.

A new Israeli report confirms what Palestinians, the UN, aid workers, & experts have said for years--not to mention anyone vaguely conscious who isn’t racist--apartheid Israeli has pursued a relentless policy of deliberate starvation as part of its genocide. www.middleeasteye.net/news/israeli...

Last month this Liberal Currents editor put out a piece with 10 paragraphs about Will Stancil and Stancil's critics, analogizing critiques of Stancil's conduct to "the Synanon Game"; then he denied that Stancil "engaged in harassment". Now same editor is telling us Bill Kristol's a good man...

One of the reasons I think I do not click w/ much Directly Queer Work written by queer authors and lick up crumbs from stuff that flirts with or fetishizes queerness is that on some level I, as an insane, perverted otaku, struggle to connect w/ work that is not also by Insane Perverted Otaku

Literal social death

Interesting to see not just actual numbers, not just a comparison of engagement between Bluesky and X/Twitter, but a comparison that also includes Threads, Instagram, Tiktok, & Facebook. In this very specific case Bluesky apparently outperformed them all.

Democratic complicity in disastrous neoliberalism, helium edition:

Just catching up with a billionaire’s MAGA son who owns the private jet used to send shackled SE Asian and Caribbean immigrants to a maximum security prison in an African kingdom they’d never been to …

New: immigrant rights lawyers have filed a lawsuit against ICE for more information about the tech Palantir provides. Specifically cites our investigation revealing ELITE, a Palantir tool ICE uses to find which neighborhoods to target www.404media.co/immigrant-ri...

Illiberalism is when anti-capitalist, freezing rent, opposing AI, and supporting Palestine? 🤨

This reminds me of the medic tent outside of @moonpalacebooks.bsky.social during the uprising in 2020. The cops slashed open all the water bottles! They wrecked the bandages! The way they celebrated while destroying medical supplies because they pushed us back shooting pepper balls at us.

Lots of replies to Wyman about hobbies as potential (or failed) radicalization-preventers. Where my mind goes: William Shockley was an accomplished rock-climber and magician who won a Nobel Prize for co-developing the transistor...then spent decades campaigning strenuously for racist eugenics.

"KEEP SEATTLE HOSTILE" wasn't the one I saw first, but it was the one I enjoyed the most.

Labour's "dignity" for trans people is like Jimmy Saville's "charity."

Yep. It's not lost on me that Ossoff looks likely to clear his obvious next electoral hurdle. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Un...

105 yrs ago tonight and tomorrow, an organized and resentful White mob raged through the African-American neighborhood of Greenwood in Tulsa, Oklahoma—known as “Black Wall Street” for its wealth—burning and looting 35 city blocks, massacring up to 300 African-Americans, and leaving 10,000 homeless.
