The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

It should be condemned by everyone

Now Trump says "we" need Greenland. Well done weak European leaders who tepidly criticized/welcomed Trump’s invasion of Venezuela yesterday. You're next.

I really don’t like this framing that we shouldn’t care about Venezuela and should stay laser focused on the Epstein Files. Like, you do not need to pit South American lives against survivors of horrific sexual abuse. You just don’t. Lots of us have the capacity to care about all of it.

This bit of news — at least 40 dead— appears around the 27th graf of the NYT story. Which is a really bizarre choice. (And we find out a few grafs down that several US soldiers were injured)

It has been an exhausting year.

Screaming "wtf" and waiting for a spontaneous uprising is going to discourage you. There won't be a spontaneous uprising. That's just not where the people are at. Organize for the long term. Build community. Build resilience. Have a strategy for whatever corner of this thing you're working on.

if i was running a political party and every time my opponents held power they started illegal wars for oil and crashed the economy i would simply say that repeatedly

Americans feeling ashamed of the leader they didn't even vote for, you're not alone

Stop consuming legacy media. They're not suited for today's world. They're obsolete. Support independent journalists like @marisakabas.bsky.social.

This is billionaire-controlled media. They want to sleepwalk us into another forever war. We must break free.

He was way WAY quicker to condemn the people who threw some flour on fckn Stone Henge and its precious lichen. In fact, he was able to condemn them INSTANTLY.

"In the two years after Roe fell, 412 people were prosecuted for pregnancy-related crimes, researchers at the reproductive justice group Pregnancy Justice found. Sixteen of those prosecutions involved homicide charges"

Breaking news isn't a reason to skip alt text. Alt text is MORE important in a crisis. Imagine how disorienting this is, now imagine not being able to see what all these viral posts depict.

I guess this is the new me 😀 (feels weird but I could get into it)

Wish we could leave all the yucky people behind in 2025 were they'd be trapped forever

No excuses now. Get off that fucking site.

and if you want to know... why Donald Trump is the president It's because the Ecru measure Goodness as being able to handle snakes rather than avoid them.

Never ask a woman her age, a man his salary, or Brigitte Bardot what she thinks about “race mixing”

Welp. It was bound to happen. If you’re a WIRED subscriber, your personal data was likely exposed in a September breach from Condé Nast. Time to change your password.

We are getting to the point where white collar criminals are thinking, "why take the plea deal my high-priced lawyer negotiated when I can just bribe the President and skip jail altogether?" donmoynihan.substack.com/p/pardon-the...

Incredible

This is the most succinct distinction I have ever felt. I went from talking to the WHITE HOUSE at one point discussing open source decolonial datas tructures and transparency TO COMBAT MISINFORMATION AND INCREASE DIVERSITY to having to explain why swastikas aren’t ironic I COULD FIGHT A BEAR

The Telegraph highlighting - yet missing - two vital points here. 1) We're not calling for £476m to be spent. It already is - this is about diverting it to actually helping. 2) Why "cruelty" in question? The £476m we're spending is part of an operation tear gassing babies.

Genuinely beautiful

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

look at how little effort it takes for someone on the conservative grievance circuit to destroy a life millions of college kids have half assed an assignment at the last minute, you eat the F and move on but the effort to push trans people out of public life will use whatever it can get

I just wrote an article about this and decided not to publish it yet. It is in the DOJ files (file got renamed after originally published and taken down. It’s online now). But too many unknowns about whether the letter itself is real or not. Some additional info though:

i say “make it till you make it!” bcz it’s not faking it to embody the person you want to become.

Happy Winter Solstice, where we celebrate the returning of the light, on the shortest day and longest night. On the solstice, when the land feels closest to its oldest stories, we’re reminded how much of England’s past remains out of reach.

🤩More than £16,000 raised now for @calaisappeal.bsky.social!! You guys are so amazing! Please do share the link with anybody who might be able to donate this Christmas to help the people freezing at our border 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Yes please do this!

Sat here just astonished that there are people who would travel from the UK to Calais to harass homeless refugees just trying to sleep. How completely devoid of a moral floor do you have to be? Thanks to @calaisappeal.bsky.social and @zoejardiniere.bsky.social for the work they are doing to help.

The end goal is eugenicist. RFK and his ilk know that this will make vaccines more expensive and time-consuming — and therefore marginalized children are most likely to fall through the cracks. This is about killing kids who aren't born to privilege. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

The utter disdain for creative talent, expertise and hard work in favour of cheap AI slop, disrespecting both the creator and the consumer

I'm deeply worried by what I've heard from organisations in Bristol about LGBTQ+ asylum seekers being the target of hate crime while in unsuitable asylum accommodation - this week I called on the government to act.

Fuck it. You know what, CAPTCHA? I AM a robot. Happy?

Adorable pig thread! 🐖

I know many things are awful but here is one genuinely useful and helpful thing you can do. No matter their party, your representative needs to hear that trans people and our families are not alone and this bill is an unjustifiable and extreme threat to criminalize the health care we need to live.

Books take time to write unless you're Olivia Nuzzi. Good books can be written fast, or they can take years to write. None of that slow cooked goodness is in AI writing. Books may take a long time from conception to reaching the market.

I don’t know man if capitalism has just resulted in a small network of pedophiles destroying all life on earth then perhaps we should consider that it is a complete and utter failure as a system
