The incredible labour of keeping receipts. “Advice such as handwashing, surface disinfection and social distancing was not as important as face masks and adequate indoor ventilation. People needed to know that poor ventilation constituted the highest risk…” www.mdpi.com/2073-4433/17...

CNN ran a whole article right before Memorial Day weekend based on EWG propaganda about how almost all sunscreen is toxic and bad for you, and there's going to be a generation of kids diagnosed with melanoma in 40 years because their parents believed the article and let their kids get severe sunburn

I love when I see a crank like this and you look up his cv and he runs slates news blog, and is followed by all the Serious Journalists. Man you're a glorified Tumblr poster.

As opposed to lead in the air.

just seconding this, my brain just felt right in a way it never had at most days after my first injection which is a long time before any permanent physical changes occurred. it’s safe to just try it

it’s crazy that going to cuba is treated like going to north korea in america when thousands of normie middle-class canadian tourists go to varadero every year

the silicon valley vision of labor is an utterly abject class of employees surveilled in every particular by a set of tools loyal only to the C-Suite, which spends all its time relaxing in a warm bath of automated sycophancy

No matter who you are, if you are running a platform or a making a product that collects user data, you need to have a plan for what happens when the government shows up and asks for it, you need to share that policy with that users, and publish a transparency report.

This is inescapably true about the way conservatives—particularly Christians—have approached transgender people over the last decade. They decided all at once that trans people are bad and ran with it, and bluffed that they'd cared all along and have a philosophical foundation for it.

The paranoia about big tech is really getting into its "THEY'RE TURNIN' THE FUCKIN' FRAWGS GAY" phase and I do not like it one bit. This is just reactionary paranoia cloaked in left-wing thought.

skill issue (people should read Xorientation)

Couple new things that recently came to my browser launcher, Switchyard: - tracking parameter filtering with AdGuard - much improved margin consistency - a very simple web extension that opens a URL in Switchyard via the URI scheme. super simple for now, but provides good value

seriously. learn what it looks like, especially if you have kids. honestly recommend *everyone* learn emergency first aid and if you spend much time near water, learn how to do basic rescues of a distressed swimmer, to not get drowned yourself if you try and help a teenager or adult.

On the one-year anniversary of EMPIRE OF AI, I am so, so excited to announce The AI Resist List, a new project that documents examples of resistance to the AI empires around the world 😍 airesistlist.org

THE CHAFF PROJECT Hi! Are you cis in the UK and you'd like to support trans rights? Great! How: buy a trans flag pin and wear it in public. Why: chaff is an overwhelming amount of false positives so that when a missile gets close to the plane, it hits the chaff and not the plane.

IT'S NOW OUT ON ITCH! Happy Estro Sunday, and I hope you all enjoy and consider leaving us a review! <3

This is so so so important. Take the few minutes it takes to read it and be prepared for summer swimming.

babe the word hetslop is older than ai slop, take it up with the romance industry if you have a problem with it

the search bar seems to just universally assume the user is talking to it when the query includes second person pronouns i guess

Have only just noticed how totally zig zaggy the straw goes when viewed through the glass, very poetic

tragedies end in funerals and comedies end in weddings therefore, End of Evangelion is a comedy

Why yes I am listening to the 12" extended version of Lucretia My Reflection. Apparently it's the 2018 remastered version.

Never fucking lose your voice. Don't just quietly go along with things you don't agree to. Even if you have to do them state your protest. The wolves in sheep's clothing will fucking freak out on you but at least you won't be lending yourself to something that harms you.

DEA here. ICE here. US military training exercises here. We're being Ukrained by the USA, and our governments are supporting it. It's called Fortress Am-Can.

Hay, i have a #throne account now. If you wanna help me get things that could help me make my #music better, why not take a look. https://throne.com/lillynorth/wishlist

Performative effect is not merely performative is not a performance is not highly performing. Its a mystery how anyone could confuse them.

They’re playing a numbers game and relying on the fact that loos aimed at minority groups are rarer. It’s mostly just bigotry all the way down.

@reactiveashley.cat @ameresolicitor.bsky.social Sorry, hope you don't mind me asking, just curious. If services must provide 'single sex' loos, why is it ok to lump all trans people in together? Shouldn't there be a loo for * cis women * cis men * trans women * trans men * gender neutral for enbys

The Marketplace of Ideas people immediately forcefully shut down all dissent, bought all media, sued & fired all critics & arrested & caged journalists reporting on their heinousness as soon as they got control & all of this was entirely predictable & people who warned of it were called overreactors

Blade Runner: Draw a turtle turned over on its back, baking in the hot sun. Human artist: is that the same as a tortoise? I can draw those but- Blade Runner: [retires the human artist].

Gym is done. 😺

The abandonment of font hinting is a HUGE problem for 1-2 bit medium resolution display technologies like this that are now _extremely_ common: There can be tens of thousands of these in one retail store. Font hinting needs to come back, like optical sizes had to come back for print. #typography

Lol Andy Burnham managed to u-turn even water nationalisation 🤪

Danny The Street remains undefeated.

This started out as just an odd Frogby then my husband said it looked like a turtle, so I added a shell and have been using it as a spot to experiment with color blending and doing different details and things with needle felting and now I guess it's Turtleby.

heated political conflict in the united kingdom came to an end today as all factions melted to death in their equally poorly built homes at a temperature too low to tell the americans

If you dont wanna feel the guilt dissociate yourself from the fascist machine dont just tell me how sad working at the fascism factory makes you but youre trying to make it better anyway vote labour next election please and donate to the guardian fuk you

Like, I can post "fuck Theodosius, all my homies hate Theodosius" and I'll get a bunch of likes on it because people know what Theodosius did to us. I need cis folks to understand what it means that if you're remembered at all, it'll probably be on the lips of a trans person cursing you.

I dont doubt the good intentions of the artist and even the people that chose to publish the artwork but fuck me after the Guardian’s active contribution to this present moment this just angers me. I dont feel solidarity, a kind hand on my shoulder,i feel pissed the fuck off and patronised

Anyway here’s the passage of Judith Butler that the Guardian censored years ago

If black transgender Matter to you Here is way So I do not Die Here is way To help if My life Matters to You

this thread is full of cool info about complexity in early video games and the way women were pushed out of computing and it all makes me feel sad for my dear tv friend cameron howe trying to get players interested in her weird game in season four of the great american novel HALT AND CATCH FIRE
