We're the ones who get called "activists" for pleading "please don't take our rights away", yet making malicious calls to the police, social services and trying to get trans people fired is simply "protecting women"

You can tell capitalism's core assumption of rational actors is definitely real every time Wall Street makes line go up in response to Trump saying some shit, still, now, in 2025 Anyway I guess line go down now

The UK just unveiled some of the world's most detailed rules on how social media platforms must protect young people. Thanks to Donald Trump, they might not last long.

We are one of 7 countries in Europe yet to ban this practice. But we'll go further by increasing subsidies to greyhound racing to €19.8 million this year. The fund has existed for 23 years. All three of the big parties support this squander but each has a few objectors.

Guess losing $150 billion got under the old boy's skin. No surprise, he's responding by throwing around tired old conspiracy theories meant to intimidate and discredit us. Guess we better make #teslatakedown so big no one can hear him over our noise! And lol he's signing his tweets now?

“Today, massive popular events were launched in various cities and towns in NE Syria and the city of Aleppo, under the slogan ‘Women, Life, Freedom Towards a Democratic Syria’. Thousands of women from various components, including Kurds, Arabs, Syriacs, and Armenians”

The media using “rapid unscheduled disassembly” instead of it blew the fuck up is infuriating. They are afraid to say anything else. It’s all PR.

Horrific. There’s a CCTV video embedded in the article but I couldn’t bring myself to click on it. A long list of newspapers, TV programmes, pundits, politicians, and loudmouth transphobes like the wizard woman are fully responsible for this

I think it's wild that he points at doing work on behalf of the LGBT community as if it absolves him for vouching someone who went on the record to call me a man and saying that I shouldn't have the right to speak at an international women's day event in the dáil.

it must be so mind-melting to be elon musk specifically, even more than how 'normal' billionaires get their realities distorted by wealth. there's so much money riding on the idea of him being a supergenius that him failing at anything isn't allowed, reality is rearranged around him

Listening to Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg is enough to tell you that billionaires are stupid, and we need to get rid of them before they get rid of us.

it's going to sound gimmicky but I think that women shouldn't have to read the Gaiman piece but all men should read it to the end, just as all men should have read all the long reads about the Pelicot case, so many seem to still not realise the extent to which so many men hate and want to hurt us

The actuaries believe in climate change.

In Deutschland was bisher jede Aussage der AfD rechtlich erlaubt und durfte frei gesagt werden. Das Einzige, was man in Deutschland nicht sagen darf, ist es den Holocaust zu leugnen. Ist es das, was die AfD meint?

Dietrich here literally describing terfs, JK Rowling and the Gender Critical movement.

Historically fascists have only come to power, not by converting far-right ultra-nationalists (no need), but by pulling the so-called 'liberal left' & centrists to the right. There are so many examples of this. Hence you have parties like Labour in the UK implementing Tory-like austerity.

This place is nice and all but I do still think we have reached the beginning of the end of social media.

Meta is pure evil and deserves to be wiped off the face of the planet. They removed all restrictions on content targeting protected characteristics i.e. hate speech. Anyone working there is complicit. You are enabling this. You will have blood on your hands. www.wired.com/story/meta-i...

In a few months when people wonder how Elon Musk developed such an outsize influence over British politics, it’ll be worth noting the contribution of push notifications like this from the national broadcaster.
