Why are people like this? I'm reminded of how many people are weirdly anti library as I now block people for being... anti postal service. We are allowed to have nice things even if they don't make anyone a godzillionaire, dammit!

This happens every year. It comes out that the NFL doesn’t pay its halftime performers, people get mad, and they end up getting a superstar performer for free anyway

"The collective was founded in 2023 in response to the federal government concluding its response to COVID as a health emergency. “It was the signal to people to stop caring about this, even though folks who watch the data and watch the news about COVID, understand the science hasn’t changed.""

We aren't supposed to see this. This is like looking upon the hidden face of God.

And please note the first major fall out about Bluesky racism was TWO YEARS AGO when people said give them time mashable.com/article/blue...

Every fucking time. People don't bother (or even just refuse) to learn what words and phrases actually mean, and instead seemingly infallibly reach for their nearest digestible negative explanation. I just… Ugh. Anyway: Here is some information for you to use, if you did not have it already.

Rights groups say Greece is acting as Brussels’ bellwether for measures that aren’t always legal, moral, implementable.

rumor going around about threads (the app) adding 'antifa' warnings is reportedly misunderstanding based on a bit (users are adding a label on themselves, for jokes. iow it's not the actual app) never even looked@ that site myself lol but word to the wise

This week, 100% of profits from anything sold on or through ArabLit go to 19-year-old poet Marah Mohamed Al-Khattab, who writes, "In Gaza, dreams are interrupted before they can take shape. Here, we do not grow into adulthood—we are thrown into it by force."

The beautiful innocence of those who live at the centre of empire, their wonderful smiles, their sweet delight and and their singular creation of the word hope when I am actually dying. - Dionne Brand, "Nomenclature for the Time Being"

A BBC investigation finds asylum seekers trapped in dilapidated hotels, spending years in administrative limbo, indebted to criminal gangs and yes, moved arbitrarily so that they have to take taxis across the country for routine GP appointments. Government response? Stop the taxis.

Them: Where was your outrage for [awful thing unrelated to the post they're replying to]??! Me: ... Clearly you don't actually follow me on social media where I've been ranting for years. 🙄

the concept of an ideal rational 'typical' mind to be measured against and divergent from doesn't have to exist though it is possible to understand humans as naturally divergent beings without turning that into a problem to be solved because we are and we always will be

The thing about being neurodivergent is that I Like It. What I don’t like is that the world imposes numerous taxes on me for being like this. I don’t view it as a Me problem.

Absolutely wild that, in the year of our lord two-thousand and twenty-five, there's a new research article that calls women "females" but calls men "men"
