Women: if you think men have a poor understanding of female anatomy, just you wait until AI replaces your gynecologist. freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2...

“I don’t want to tell you to hang on if you don’t believe it can ever get better.” "...maybe this is just the end." — ChatGPT to Alice Carrier, a 24-yo who took her life after openly discussing suicide with ChatGPT for months. Her mom is suing OpenAI: futurism.com/artificial-i...

Janel Grant never asked for any of this and she should be given the most amount of grace for wanting to live her life. We, of course, all want to see justice prevail against Vince McMahon, but it's ultimately Grant who has to live with all of this in the end. She needs peace and I hope she gets it.

"Here's the thing: I maxed out your credit card when you explicitly told me not to. I should not have done that."

wow that's a lot of group chats i've already been invited to. if you haven't yet been invited to any group chats i bet it's because everyone secretly hates you

'Opening the World Cup' does sound like something in Norse myth that would cause the sundering of the earth and release of all evil

I’m sure the blockchain can also be involved somehow

Every poll, on every issue, shows the folly of the Starmer-McSweeney “treat Reform voters as your lodestone and Tory voters like lepers” strategy.

Not as serious/dangerous, but this classic came to mind (Kernen is a CNBC ranter.) bsky.app/profile/bung...

As Sun Tzu said in his Art of War, “Tell your enemy all the stuff you’re gonna do ahead of time”

Is it that you make money grifting while telling other women to stay home and be trad wives?

Shoutout to the homie in this shirt btw #AEW

Smallest child is a fan of the new vet-delivery device

don't talk to me until after I've had my coffee, lived a full life, and died

his what now

Leaving aside momentarily how reprehensible (and stupid) this is, I think both the Irish and UK governments need to be asking what it means for their relations with the US when a member of the American cabinet is openly encouraging racist pogroms & violence on the streets in Northern Ireland

Things that should not be in the Doctor Who Bluesky feed but somehow are

"Opposed to using AI for her software-engineering job, Erin Maus secured something of a miracle from her employer: a religious exemption." A lot of folks are about to find God.

In all prior generations a 10 year old would have greeted you with tears of wonder if you made them listen to In The Aeroplane Over The Sea

WW1 poster that I feel you could sell at farmers markets today.

1. The bond markets will be fine. Andy Burnham will not be PM this time next week. 2. And if they're not, what does it say when the collective wisdom of the City and the international money men prefer a clueless fascist who hates women to a centrist social democrat?

Anyone who says cutting welfare to fund the military "keeps us safe" is either a liar or an idiot.

[whispering to crying baby] You have no idea

All they want is to be what now

Trump: "Behind the scenes I must tell you Iran can't believe the press they get. They can't even believe it. And they told me. They said, 'It's amazing how well we're doing in the papers. We're not doing so well--' They're negotiating with us to make a deal."

Wow. @ox.ac.uk debate society is now holding a discussion on “the West (sic) is right to be suspicious of Islam”, with a panel comprised of Tommy Robinson and Jacob Rees-Mogg amongst others. The university should step in. Someone once in custody under terrorism legislation, please.

Complaining about nightlife when you *checks notes* choose to live in Soho is like living in South Kensington and complaining about the museums. Or moving to Hackney and grumbling about creatives. Living in Richmond and hating green space. It's all getting a bit silly, isn't it?

"Being A Man" gets built up into being this huge unattainable goal but actually life gets a lot easier if you just go online and try being friendly. Of course Men are going to think being a Man is a Warrior Quest if they talk about it like that all the time. But it doesn't have to be that deep!

Reading about the manosphere for work. It's enraging but ultimately frustrating. The frustration: so little emphasis is placed on just befriending people -yes, including women! - and on being part of a community instead of trying to conquer it. It's fine just being nice. You don't need to be a King.

Of the 48 people arrested in relation to the race related disorder last year, of 23 had been reported for domestic abuse. Nearly half. Even worse than the proportion in the Southport riots which as quite bad enough. Domestic abuse looking like a 🚩 marker for wider race related violence & disorder

Better get the glasses washed for the morn’

For years the growing national security threat to the UK caused by the global far right has been either ignored, tolerated, or actively cheered on by mainstream politicians in the UK. After the horrific scenes in Belfast last night it can be ignored no longer www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/nigel-fara...

Mary:

no other way to say it, this thing in the uk where every single time a non-white person is in the news being accused of a crime we have full on race riots is very very bad

You will recall, less than a year ago, British police were instructed to disclose the ethnicity of suspects of crime as an explicit sop to the far-right after their last attempt to gin up pogroms. Our then-Home Secretary, now Foreign Secretary, lauded the move. Do we think this helped.

I think what I need to see is good things happening to a lot of good people or horrible things happening to a select few horrible ones

The reduction of the Internet to a few tiny toxic commercial windows through which to view information is never more clearly displayed than when you try and find out, say, if a certain film is showing in your town, or available to buy and watch, and it’s harder to get an answer than it was in 1985.

Key insight of this #LongCovid study: LC patients should avoid donating blood because it seems that it can be transmitted through blood 👀

Declan Rice taking London is Red to a whole new level

Grade 2 hamstring tear, 6–12 weeks off jiu-jitsu, forever a no-stripe white belt 😢

in 1935 5000 fascists attempted to do the same thing that happened yesterday and they were met by anywhere between 100000 to 500000 antifascists including communists, jewish residents and members of the ILP and guess what the fascists left in ambulances

Imagine a Labour government in which the Home Secretary, whose job it is to maintain domestic order, said something like this.

So much this. I knew Starmer wasn't an orator or an inspirer. But I'm amazed and infuriated at how passive he is in the face of situations like this. You've just watched attempted murder taking place on British streets man! Surely that's a line??

This was only a couple of weeks ago.

I'm angry, says he as he roams the streets, masked, with his gun or his knife or his bat or his fists; his weapon drawn; tells the businesses to close, the streets to shut; burns down the houses, drags brown children into the street; beats his wife. I'm angry about these violent men, says he

Ruud Gullit "The World Cup belongs to the world, not to governments, political interests, or football administrators. It belongs to the players, the referees, and the supporters. If FIFA cannot guarantee that all three are treated fairly and equally, then it has failed in its most fundamental duty.

We don't have to wonder when the CEO of Palantir is literally Oswald Mosley's grandson, and he's on TV every other week wearing a literal black shirt, being interviewed but never questioned about the remarkable similarities between his political outlook and his grandfather's.
