This shit is so poisonous bc it encourages parents to be dicks to their kids. Ofc a lot is down to luck, but our parenting is what's called 'gentle', & my children are polite & well-behaved. Then they go to school & have to navigate the dick behaviour of kids w/authoritarian parents like Stock.

Really excellent iteration of this point in this🧵

One of the great things about Zack Polanski scaring the shit out of Labour is that they just keep putting in the newspaper that they’re mad

This is genuinely desperate stuff, which should be well beneath any party which purports to be on the centre-left.

Holy crap. Mass evictions of entire blocks all across London before Renters' Rights law comes in. They'll reopen as emergency accomm for councils to house (newly!) homeless ppl at much higher rents. Don't worry, the mayor is on it! He... invited the company boss to switch on the Ramadan lights.

RFK's goons ignored ethical rules to push through research funding to *withhold a life-saving vaccine from Black babies*. The piece notes that those ethical rules were adopted only after the US *withheld life-saving medicine from Black servicemen* in the 1930s, causing horrific, avoidable deaths.

This piece contains a lot of information I didn't know. Unsurprisingly, the police allowed Elbit to get away with losing footage of the protesters allegedly 'attacking' the guards.

This is what Netanyahu's settler terrorists did this morning, carrying out their pogrom, killing 50 sheep in southern Hebron by brutally torching them to death

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

This has been my answer for years to the 'waste of time arguing online' ppl. I know it influences readers bc it was a huge part of my own radicalisation. (Properly modded) comment threads are like a live demo of the arguments above the line; reading diff ppl's takes gives so much varied context.

Here it is, your moment of zen.

This is a fantastic thread, and not *only* because there's a poem about temptation that includes the line "a treacherous clam that lurks". 💜

“I went to get the [11yo child's body] so the Israeli troops’ dogs wouldn’t eat him. I thought bc I’m a woman, they wouldn’t shoot me.” “The Yellow Line kept moving, & all their winter essentials were [suddenly inside] it. They had gone for blankets & jackets. They never returned. They were killed.”

OpenAI ”acknowledged in its own research that LLMs will always produce hallucinations due to fundamental mathematical constraints that cannot be solved through better engineering, marking a significant admission from one of the AI industry’s leading companies.” You can’t trust chatbots.

Honestly, the way things are atm, I get why nobody talks about microaggressions any more. At this point, this is just proper, cutting her down to size, misogynistic aggression. Fuck these arseholes, I hope they prolapse.

we transitioned from careers to skills. now we're transitioning from skills to prompts. meanwhile, eggs

"Legally they have to* seek asylum in the first safe country they get to". Looking forward to "Tommy" learning French. I'm sure he'll be anxious to immerse himself in the local culture just as he demands other immigrants should. * obviously bullshit, but allegedly sincere belief of his.

The entire British political class

Reading this is like being hit with a wrecking ball. Jeeeeezus. I generally dislike the Atlantic but have to hand it to them for this one. It should be required reading for anti-vax fools with children.

Murdering bastards. A seven-year-old girl.

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

“Mass evaporations”. That’s where we’re at. Not “mere” genocide.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

It is spiritually challenging to live in a time where you see things so horrifying you want to just sit down on the floor but what you have to do is send a work email

“According to the Al Jazeera Arabic investigation, The Rest of the Story, Civil Defence teams in Gaza have documented 2,842 Palestinians who have “evaporated” since the war began in October 2023, leaving behind no remains other than blood spray or small fragments of flesh.”

Fascinating details from a recent dig at Wandlebury, an iron age hill fort and country park south of Cambridge. A Viking-era ‘execution pit’ is being excavated: "a sobering encounter with the human stories embedded in the landscape". I've often sketched there. cambridgeppf.org/a-remarkable...

Horrific and heartbreaking.

Amelia Gentleman wrote this piece in the Guardian that's had me thinking all day. And here is an excellent story that adroitly proves her point. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

NB there is no Labour Liz Truss

I ❤️❤️❤️ both of these wise and wonderful tweets

This is really sad, but it's also inspiring because YESSS those volunteers know what solidarity is. 💪 Just read @goodlawproject.org Jolyon's astute comment this morning about transphobia being a men's rights movement in drag... and these Sheffield queens are having none of it. Massive respect. 💜

Becca Good is a powerful, courageous, and moral person.

When Republicans do it / When Democrats do it

"I am completely comfortable with open racism and also too cowardly to say so directly to a brown man who's asking me. Therefore, I will demonstrate the superiority of the white race by stuttering and ineptly trying to avoid the question." Techbros are such fucking idiot children, jfc.

In these dark days of February, a little something to look forward to.

Fun fact: Trump is mentioned in the Epstein files more than Jesus is mentioned in the bible. And that’s just the unredacted version.

The entire anti wokeness nonsense of the past decade was about making this kind of gutter racism broadly acceptable again bsky.app/profile/adam...

I cannot begin to express how happy I am that everyone, including the people I hate viscerally, now agree with me specifically

This is hard to read if you know anything about abuse. But it makes a point that had never occurred to me before. Fuck the carceral state, fuck patriarchy, and fuck all state violence. Which are all the same thing, obviously.

Can we please acknowledge the, er, penmanship here

No one is sure how or why this bent self-dealing crook found his way back into the party after deliberately undermining anyone who tried to get rid of him, but let’s be clear: It definitely doesn’t involve the PM’s right-hand man, who was groomed by him and who fastidiously backed him to the hilt.

Oh my goddddd 💀

The European Commission must decide by 2 March whether it intends to give legal follow-up to a European Citizens’ Initiative that gathered more than one million signatures in 2025. It would allow EU states to voluntarily fund women's abortion care when they need to travel from another EU state.

Here in the UK the old tradition of single-sex boarding schools for the children of the wealthy actively produces a culture of boys who are desperate for feminine attention but have no idea how to interact with women or see them as anything other than objects of desire. Those boys end up in power.

😂👏
