People at taken to Whipple are released into the cold in whatever they were wearing without their phones and IDs. Volunteers meet them at release (or find them left in parks and the woods) get them a burner, warm clothes, food, a ride home, etc (GFM in next post) www.instagram.com/reel/DTzJde9...

“Probably one of the biggest issues on how did we get here with these headlights being so bright is that Canada has long handcuffed itself to the U.S. regulations on how cars are built and equipped, and the U.S. regulations don’t care about headlight glare.” www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

Worldwide, an estimated 95,000 people died from measles in 2024, mostly children under the age of five years.

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

I know the word “Orwellian” had been tossed around a lot in the past couple of decades, but when the Federal secret police agency is out here telling the weather people they can’t use an ordinary English word to describe the weather because it might be used to mock the reign of terror …

1/20/26 South Carolina measles outbreak update: 88 new cases, no end in sight.

New research maps the campaign to erase trans people from UK data 🔢 This peer-reviewed article offers the first detailed account of how UK campaign groups have sought to define sex as strictly biological across the census, policing, healthcare and digital ID. doi.org/10.1080/0958...

Important and very accessible paper. Very much welcome the term, "Trans-exclusionary data activism" for the actions of those trans-hostile pressure groups that seek to re-write data collection policies to erase trans people.

This is a good lesson, no matter how you come to learn it

I’m reading Link’s posts! From staging.blacksky.community 🫶🏽

This story is 100% applicable to how cis women and cis gay men approach drag and treat trans women. It's maps on word for word, even to kicking trans women out of queer spaces that include cis gay men for the "safety" of the women.

Ah . Heated Rivalry speed running the “Women can be predatory, entitled , and problematic and the rules of boundaries and good community management still apply” In record time This is nasty god damn work . Someone/ thing making you feel good doesn’t mean you get to control them

Note that the sudden rise in "nudification" is not an advance in the tech itself, it's a design choice by Musk / xAI. LMMs trained with nude images have been able to do this for years; Grok is the first time a major company has chosen to enhance this functionality for users rather than restrict it.

Down on my knees begging writers to talk to a single romance readers before churning out yet another absolutely unhinged Heated Rivalry take

We need to throw RFK Jr. and everyone going along with him into jail for the rest of their lives, and we need to make it a day one policy. They are killing children with this. There is NO scientific basis for ANY of what they’re doing.

Sprained my ankle sitting on the couch. (Had feet on laptop power pack to keep them toasty, shifted position, didn't move feet. Sprained ankle.)

I don't know why anyone expected a new platform to suddenly make people better online, especially when the folks coming here carried the habits developed on the old platform(s) into the new platform and the environment of the platform did very little to discourage those habits.

One guy tried, unsuccessfully, to blow up a plane with a bomb in his sneakers, and everybody had to take off their shoes at the airport for the next 20 years. Chatbots have a collective body count equal to Richard "The Night Stalker" Ramirez, and they're trying to put them in schools.

This story is horrifying. It also reminds me of all the psychology research undertaken in the 1960s/70s to understand the horrors of Nazi Germany — i.e. how seemingly "normal" people can do unspeakable things to other people. Feels like we're living through another natural experiment.

Influenza is primarily airborne. It’s very, very bad. Consider masking. Stay safe.

If you still for some reason post your art on Twitter - they added "edit" button to every image, which opens AI prompt letting anybody to modify it and post as their own.

When non-fandom people enter fandom spaces, especially controversial ones like rpf, the bullying and harassment of RPF authors skyrockets. Authors get doxxed, which you would think f*cking Out Magazine would comprehend is a negative thing. Authors now going to AO3 to lock down FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY.

I’m not going dispute that the writing process is messy, especially handwritten notes about character. That said, I would never post a note saying an autistic character of color is less intelligent than a white man even if you water boarded me. Keep it in the group chat, yt people. #Romancelandia

I lowkey hate this. Although it also explains so much about why The Long Game is the way it is, particularly Shane.

I want to scream this from the rooftops. I'm so tired of this "Girls mature faster" bullshit mythology being spewed even by intelligent people. And we all know why people WANT to believe it...yet people clutch their pearls about monsters like Epstein and Trump. It's ALL connected.

Please share and help if you’re able to.

As a winter storm batters Gaza, "people's tents are either being washed away or flooded entirely," says Moureen Kaki with the medical aid group Glia, speaking from Khan Younis. She says the current situation is "not really a ceasefire" but merely "a slower form of death."

More than 7,000 Palestinians in 46 Bedouin communities around Jerusalem face mass displacement as Israel advances the E1 settlement project. Rights groups warn it would fragment the West Bank, encircle East Jerusalem, and force families out through land seizures and demolitions.

Remember, when someone says they blame “porn” for something, what they mean by that is they blame the WOMEN doing the porn. It’s somehow women’s FAULT that men are behave badly. Scott Galloway is a raging misogynist and gender essentialist, he’s Jordan Peterson without the benzo addiction
