Worried about this MAGA style book censorship happening in our schools. “some librarians told The Ferret they are “thinking twice” about putting potentially controversial books on display, concerned that they could face organised online campaigns and doxxing.” www.theferret.scot/books-scotti...

Good Q @SarahKSilvermam

Going to be bleak when we find his name in the files

Why are there so many dead canaries lying around this coal mine???

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota. This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats. They hate the helpers. Which is why must keep helping.

This amused me greatly 😂 especially the fox painting 😂 Thank yoooo @cheekybudgie.bsky.social

What a useful resource for organizing.

This is an immensely significant document that continues to get virtually no attention in US media—but lots abroad. In Jul 2015, Epstein arranged a meeting between a known highest-level Russian intel operative, Sergey Belyakov and Peter Thiel,

We have sent out almost 475,000 whistles for free, and our spreadsheet crew just told me that 80% of them are going out within 4 days of the request being made. 7% go out the same day. 98% within a week from this team of entirely volunteers who are just big fuckin' mad & want to help. 💓

What's hilarious is that the fence operation was inside a boba shop. The Yelp reviews for that boba shop for years were like "Service was meh. Probably because of the clearly obvious stolen goods fencing operation that they were more focused on than making my drink!🤡"

In one of our signal chats, a neighbor calls these “fuckaroundabouts”

I'm thinking around a magic system in terms of a game design, rather than a story ... but these are a great set of questions to build or refine such an idea for any context:

So as I struggled with miscarriage after miscarriage before having my 🌈 baby, Reform would seriously think I should pay more tax during that agony. This policy isn’t just a slippery slope to a handmaids tale dystopian future - it’s a deliberate step towards it www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Its not a new sentiment but: Fuck Matt Goodwin. I have family members who'd dearly like to have kids, but can't due to medical stuff. Friends who have spent years trying but it hadnt happened. Multiple miscarriages. Fuck Goodwin and everyone who supports him.

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

Underworld at Brixton Academy (a bit last-minute, only got tickets last weekend). Excellent stuff, though felt the lack of Rez (and had the Academy turned off the smoke alarms?!)

NHS hiring bans in cancer units shortsighted and dangerous, doctors warn

They're Abrego-Garcia-ing a child -- punishing him because his very existence is inconvenient to them. It's gutter bigotry and petulant sadism all the way down.

We cannot talk about this enough, it has to be stopped!

I'm curious, and I think bsky is a safer place to ask this, other than [REDACTED] Are there voiceover agents that have a focus on working with disabled talent? Just to know who I should be looking at in future when I'm ready to apply #disability #voiceover #voiceacting

Feel like I'm going mad.

WE DID IT!!! Thank you so so so much, from me and the kitties whose lives you've just changed. And here's your reward... Our newest Merry Moggy, HAMHAM!

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

'The Gruffalo Will Return in Avengers: Doomsday'.

💥 GOOD. Because that £240 million contract gifted to Palantir, with no competition… …after Starmer had an off-the-books meeting with Mandelson and Palantir… …while Mandelson was officially LOBBYING FOR Palantir and so personally financially benefiting from such links and contracts… Stinks.

There's a Val McDermid PI whodunnit from the 90s, where Kate Brannigan observes how eagerly criminals used 'print your own business cards' services as soon as they appeared.

Remember the controversy when Obama was accused of intervening in UK politics? This is the current US government openly seeking to undermine liberal democracy in Europe.

I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane

At the Kennedy Center, Trump plans to "use some of the steel" but "remove, well, some of the marble." He is going to tear down the nation's memorial monument to its 35th President, a man cut-down in his prime, and make it his own FTR... The Kennedy Center went under major renovation in 2019

#Epstein was co-owner of a Silicon Valley venture fund controlled by Peter Thiel, billionaire founder of defence analytics giant Palantir Technologies, which holds more than £670 million in UK Government contracts. Palantir has tentacles that reach deep into the British state and institutions.

Nigel Farage tells GB News that Keir Starmer's decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as US ambassador shows his judgement is "seriously wrong" and he should stand down as Prime Minister. Here's what Farage said when Mandelson was appointed

Okay hear me out. A holiday. For cheese. Not in honor of cheese necessarily, but the celebration custom involves... Eating cheese.

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot. I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.
