Dear, darling WW, I do not want to live under your rule either.

Data centre moratorium pushes have gained steam around the US, with bans proposed in at least a dozen states.

I write about this in the book. Increasingly, the proposition from these companies is “let us surveil you constantly.” That’s it! That’s the deal. In return you get the (supposed) benefit of a machine that “knows” you, whatever that’s supposed to mean. finance.yahoo.com/technology/a...

And another. This morning. Running for his life and hit by a truck.

As of early July, it’s clear that a summer COVID-19 wave is getting started in the U.S. Disease levels are going up in the South and parts of the West Coast. This week's COVID-19 trends report: thesicktimes.org/2026/07/14/n...

Someone had a cool idea for a game (Tetris but the whole board rotates) and posted a proof of concept to social media. Immediately someone ripped it off and vibe coded it www.404media.co/ai-made-clon...

WHO warns DR Congo Ebola outbreak may be double the official tally https://aje.news/o5pz6h

There's a parallel here in how the European political mainstream has gone bananas for throwing out immigrants precisely during an era of *spectacularly successful* immigration integration.

There are no jobs for teens, they’re not allowed to hang out anywhere in public, time to criminalize being bored

lots of talk about "aligning AI" which I don't really get - the only alignment AI can have is Chaotic Evil

This is addressed to everyone, but especially Americans under the age of 30: Read dystopian novels. Read 1984, and Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451, and White Noise, and—fuck—even Hunger Games. So many of you just aren’t getting what’s been happening just because you don’t read.

The storming of the Bastille on this day in 1789 was essentially an anti-prison riot that won, spelling eventual doom for all monarchies. When we topple the current ruling class and abolish borders, prisons, and police, people will celebrate for hundreds of years, too. crimethinc.com/tce#lastcrime

*one of these was National Guard, not a fed. Apologies for losing track of all the categories of unaccountable men in uniform executing people.

“As influencers continue to present surveillance-capable devices as fashionable, convenient technology, they help normalize a culture where we are accustomed to being constantly recorded and having our data collected.”

The silence in Gaza’s news isn’t a sign of peace. It’s the result of journalists being killed, one after another. The war hasn’t gone quiet—the voices reporting it have.

seems like y'all want to ban any anonymity for people using the internet by demading everyone's identity to use it. Seems real handy for a fascist agenda. None of y'all actually gaf about kids.

Decades of dehumanizing copaganda have primed people to see a Black man allegedly fleeing law enforcement as deserving of death, as expendable. ICE has the same script writers now trying the same tactics. The only way to challenge their narrative is to challenge all of it, every time:

41 new SARS-CoV-2 sequences from New Zealand 🇳🇿, all collected in June 2026. Nearly 50% are #BA32, making it the most prevalent lineage in this dataset. At the same time, children aged 0-9 years accounted for the highest number of COVID-19 hospital admissions over the past 30 days.

Ugh

End stage whataboutism.

“A dozen nurses at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx have received notices saying their positions were being eliminated, and their union’s blaming artificial intelligence — claims a hospital spokesperson called ‘inaccurate and misleading.’”

this is so fucking ridiculous and fascist

Idag börjar angiverilagen, vandelskravet och en mer ingripande inre gränskontroll att gälla, bland ett antal andra lagändringar som endast kan beskrivas som auktoritära. Det är sannerligen ett paradigmskifte i svensk statlig styrning, och en mörk dag i vår historia.

Of course there is biomedical research on Long Covid, only that certain authorities are still ignoring these studies and are pushing pseudoscience regarding Long Covid to dismiss the seriousness and the impact of this umbrella illness. It's easier to say it is imaginary than to admit its impact.

NEW: A public link let anyone watch SFPD police drone operations. We reviewed hours of leaked footage showing drones tracking cars across the city, watching detentions, peering into apartment windows, recording thermal video, and sweeping up hundreds of bystanders w/ @agreenberg.bsky.social

are there wild ferrets in sweden? this mamma was in trädgård idag with cub (not best quality bc i was out with macro SLR only) (alt i next post)

the "misconception" was fascism

While in the hospital, Mum caught both #Covid and #flu from staff. These infections ultimately led to her death. The sense of injustice around her passing – the fact hospitals don't do enough to prevent the spread of infection – compound the loss, as many of you will understand only too well.

Holding the appliance company liable when the faulty toaster electrocutes you will unfairly hamper toaster innovation.

ah the myth of the ages

With two people dead in Memphis in four days and one the same week in Houston, that's four people federal agents have shot and killed over just nine days. July 5: Tyrin Johnson July 7: Lorenzo Salgado Araujo July 8: Alfonso Ivy July 13: name not released yet

Boycott Magnum? 🤔 #freebenandjerrys

It's rare to get actual footage of what police drones are recording, but Wired got it.

San Francisco police accidentally livestreamed their drones’ video and data on the open web. The hours of footage—including several apparent arrests—should never have been made public, but now offer a glimpse of modern aerial urban surveillance. www.wired.com/story/sfpd-d... w/ @dmehro.bsky.social

me reading the news yesterday morning vs me reading the news this morning

Saw a post recently calling Amanda Palmer "Steampunk Ghislaine Maxwell."

Sam Neill insisting on changing the Australian flag in Event Horizon, and the reasoning behind it, speaks to his character so well. For those who don't know, the reason the flag on Weir's costume has the Aboriginal flag, not the Union flag, is because Sam said he hoped by 2047 we'd have changed it.

The polar opposite reactions here to the deaths of Sam Neill and Lindsey Graham are such a reminder that we all have a choice whether to live our lives in a way that brings joy or misery to those around us. I think if you’re remembered fondly as Sam Neill is today, you’ve pretty much won at life.

100% of funds are used to buy or top up eSIM plans we provide for free to Palestinians in Gaza so they can get help, work, study, survive, communicate with their loved ones + so we can keep hearing from Gaza Different ways to don@te & no minimum amount! linktr.ee/foresims

Guys, we're under 100 USD again which means we can be out of funds in 48 hours 🚨 We used to raise $1400 per week and now struggle to reach even $300 🥲 eSIMs are mobile plans so we need to top them up regularly otherwise they stop working & people in Gaza are disconnected!

Lagen riskerar alltså leda till att människor inte vågar uppsöka vård vid förlossning, med stora risker för både barn och förälder. Samt att barnmorskor ovetandes medverkar till att ange nyförlösta.
