So: Save the Children christmas jumper day Are they going to Save the Children in Bangladesh who stitched those cheap jumpers together you bought at Primark and are going to wear once or twice? Just give the money

I don't think we were meant to have all the music, all the time tbh

ultimately, the cost of trans exclusion needs to be higher than the cost of inclusion. right now, that isn't the case.

“Calculators expanded reasoning; the printing press spread knowledge. ChatGPT, by contrast, doesn’t extend cognition—it automates it, turning thinking itself into a service. Rather than democratizing learning, it privatizes the act of thinking under corporate control. “

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

They were 8 and 11 years old

This is terrible. I don't think people fully grasp the repercussions. A thousand year old norm ended

God is a woman, and she does AMAZING work.

Nothing will change in the UK until the press is dealt with Nothing will change in the UK until the press is dealt with Nothing will change in the UK until the press is dealt with Nothing will change in the UK until the press is dealt with Nothing will change in the UK until the press is dealt with

And still, there are those who say that Americans can’t do irony.

And one problem with "british people can do these jobs" is many of "these jobs" are state adjacent (carers) and the state is psychotically opposed to paying people more

Pardon me??

The OBR says the rise in claims was linked to the cost of living crisis The way disabled people have been vilified over PIP, as if they were trying to play the system, was disgusting & shameful Hacks & commentators that engaged in the grotesque demonisation of disabled people should be ashamed.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Interesting: this study suggests that white support for anti-democratic policies targeting immigrants increases in places with increased Black pops but not increased Latine pops. Meaning at core what is activated in anti-democratic ideology is anti-Black racism even when the targets are not Black.

Ted Chiang called LLMs a blurry jpeg of the internet, which I think is a great metaphor

I’ve been running around asking tech execs and academics if language was the same as intelligence for over a year now - and, well, it isn’t. @benjaminjriley.bsky.social explains how the bubble is built on ignoring cutting-edge research into the science of thought www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Meta halted internal research that purportedly showed (young) people who stopped using Facebook became less depressed and anxious, according to an unredacted legal filing released on Friday. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/m...

I've said before that Britain is afflicted by a triple-humiliation: loss of aristocracy; empire; political/media credibility. Brexit was essentially the last gasp of the British ruling class yelling to the Commonwealth, "Come on chaps, we're leaving," then marching out into the blizzard alone—nude.

I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke. IG bscomedian

BBC News: "the government believe refugees are deliberately bringing their children to avoid deportation" As opposed to doing what with their children??

Fascists seen literally queueing up to do lines of coke off black public park bin during Bristol Nov 15 racist demo We're dealing with a petite bourgeois middle class, scaffolders, roofers of absolute deranged coke-head racist cunts. These cunts aren't representative of the british working classes

Labour: YOU MUST INTEGRATE Also Labour: we might kick you out in a couple years so don't get to comfy yeah

For Shabana Mahmood to attack some of the most cruelly treated people in the world as having won a "golden ticket" because they manage to get to and claim asylum in Britain is unforgiveable. A new, far right, low for which I can think of no precedent, by any UK Government.

For the Disability community, losing Alice Wong is like losing Ursula Le Guin or Octavia Butler. She was a powerhouse, a pioneer, and a mentor to many. She taught me so much. And always reminded me what we were fighting towards, as well as against. I miss her clarity, bravery, and joy.

Treat your body like someone who has done nothing wrong.

I know these seem like basic questions I'm sure they've already asked but...why? To ensure what? In case *what* happens, exactly? To protect people from...what? Based on *what* research?* To what end? *I know the answer is 'because cruelty', thanks.

Being a Sensible Pragmatic Labour Voter isnt just a case of being niave or short sighted. If you are still on-side you are flatly, unambiguously a bigoted scumbag and I hate you.

This rancid trash understands the significance of Labour's anti-refugee policies.

too real lol

Not all hero’s wear capes.

They market their cars as weapons and we allow them on the same roads as children cycling to school. And I still get weird middle-aged men in my notifications obfuscating for and defending this. This is not a serious society.

It's almost like when you tax the rich in a place you get to make that place a better place and even the rich just looking out the windows of their limos at most of that place in passing prefer to think "oh, that looks nice" rather than "I must prepare my bunker for the impending apocalypse"

The unspoken assumption behind “raping 15 year olds is different than raping 8 year olds” is that teenage girls are legitimate targets of desire on account of (sometimes) being adult shaped. But if the adult shape was the source of attraction, and not the vulnerability, these men would date women.

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

For reference. I might print this out and hang it in my house:

Remember when the people who started two world wars and developed/used nuclear weaponry spent the 80s musing if Black/brown people were just naturally, genetically violent

The soft pedaling language being used to describe the men in the Epstein files is enraging. They didn’t “have sex with underage girls”. They raped them. Sex implies consent. The survivors deserve better than this. Use the correct language. Say what these men did.

This whole country is a monstrous pyramid of corruption, abuse, theft and decay.

Keep thinking about the color line in the Epstein files and which predators are not in them

I love this! 💚💚💚 Imagine the leaders of any of the other parties attempting this without making you cringe so hard you break your toes.

The career politician is killing us.

Oooooer I can very much see large rallies of “when I say tax the you say RICH; tax the RICH; tax the RICH”

One out of every 12 rams is gay: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/11/s... And this new site sells knitwear using wool from gay rams. All proceeds are going to LGBTQI+ charities. rainbow-wool.eu/Shop/

every single one of these emails is someone I already hate messaging a notorious pedophile to say "Thanks for the great time! I had fun doing pedophile stuff with you. P.S. Trump was there with us the whole time"
