This Danville, VA city council candidate made a very dramatic video about sidewalks and public safety, and I love it and him. Worrying about a possible milkshake duck situation, I looked at his FB page, but he seems ok. Juneteenth celebrations, community outreach, Methodists. A solid old gent.

I don't care who you are. If you use generative Ai to replace a human being on an artistic project, you're never getting another nickel from me. Scorsese, a24, anyone.

This is the worst version of Tag Yourself of all time, but I do kind of hope someone can make this go viral because, dudes and dude-presenting people, please just look at this shit:

Burn everything the fuck down. O’Sullivan, L. F., & Ronis, S. T. (2026). Isolate, Inebriate, Intimidate, Repeat: High Rates of Sexual Force Against Women Are Reported When Young Men Given Anonymous Surveys. Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 0(0). journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

In addition: the owner of the site, who is the richest person in the world and doesn’t need the money, has used the site to sell child sexual abuse material that was generated by his platform. Normal people used to not do business with those who sold child porn.

I've spent the last two months putting together this exhaustive analysis of the New York Times coverage of trans people. It covers 3,242 articles over 12 years. In 2022, the NYT shifted towards a hostile stance towards trans people in their framing. www.thedissident.news/exclusive-ho...

nwmd.social/s/copylink/4... Bill 11 is Alberta Premier Smith's plan to open the door to private, U.S.-style health care in Alberta. It creates a two-tier health care system where wealthy people can pay to skip the line and get faster access to care while everyone else waits longer. Petition link.

Shareholders have no rights at all; Musk keeps 82.4% of voting power via 10-vote shares, and it's formally a "controlled company" with no independent board majority. Oh, and ~911M insider shares, nearly 2x the public float, unlock two days after the first earnings report, a tsunami of dilution. /8

David Mitchell: I've not seen it, but from what I hear it's more of a musical, in the way the name of a sort of biscuit is Jaffa Cake. Though actually, a Jaffa Cake isn't a biscuit, it is a cake - Richard Ayoade: They had a court case.

God's Gender: Don't Get Ahead of Yourself Part 1: How Many is God? Please turn with me in your Bibles to Genesis 1:26-27, whereupon "God" refers to Themself as both plural and singular in the span of four short lines - then opts to create human beings in Their Own image: male and female. (1)

Everything on this earth is borrowed. There is no "mine" or "yours." There is only "ours." Even time is borrowed. People kill over a piece of land that belongs only to Mother Earth. All you have is what you came with... and what you will leave with: your spirit. -Native American Proverb-

So I redid the which teevee character are you like online test and I don't get Pam Beesley(sp?) as my closest match! Now it's Will Byers. I can see that. Also in the list? Vanya Hargreaves, Charlie Kelmeckis, Ophelia (yes that one), Milhouse, George O'Malley.

I wish someone had explained impulsivity to me at an early stage of life. So many mistakes could have been avoided.

Certainly not a new thought but llms are hardcore colonizer energy. Thinking about it this morning as I see all these generated cringe images in our all-staff call today.

(1/4) By now it’s unsurprising that Carney’s Liberals are openly anti-worker, repeatedly caving to corporate interests and violating the right to strike through Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

Expert lawyers confirmed it. Bill 11 violates the Canada Health Act. I just took action. Will you? share.nwmd.social/s/iNqV0zXd

When Minneapolis felt under heavy siege, people from everywhere helped and reached out and it was really heartening and made a difference. Memphis deserves that too, all the more so because there appears to be a concerted effort to keep their occupation out of the news

Related to those last reskeets, Anton's recent vid: youtu.be/oKK0dgDIxKY?

“The demise of just one Gen1 Starlink satellite produces about 30 kilograms (66 pounds) of aluminum oxide, a compound that eats away at the ozone layer. A new study finds these oxides have increased 8-fold between 2016 and 2022, and the recent surge is increasing the pollution even more.”

Something else to thank EM for. "The sustained rate of daily reentries is unprecedented," says Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard Center for Astrophysics who tracks satellites. "They are retiring and incinerating about 4 or 5 Starlinks every day." @planet4589.bsky.social #astronomy
