In case you missed it ... 🔥🔥🔥 Ash Sarkar on Tony Blair's involvement with Trump's "Board of Peace" 😅

Our entire economy is being artificially propped up by astrology for men: AI, crypto, sports betting, and prediction markets. It's an economy shaped entirely by male insecurity and lack of impulse control, and we'll all pay the price.

As an anthropologist, I endorse this message!

I feel these two headlines should be shown together more

Over 2,000 Britons have served for the Israel military in the Gaza war since 7 October 2023. Our political commentator @sangitamyska.bsky.social argues that it’s essential the government investigate “potential links to war crimes” www.thenerve.news/p/sangita-my...

Doomscrolling break... Jolien Boumkwo - Belgium's national shot putter and hammer thrower, stepped up to help Belgium win 2 points in the 100m hurdles in the European Athletics Championships in 2023

The fact that more parents of younger and less verbal kids wouldn't be thankful to hear personal experience from autistic people who are able to talk about it, never ceases to amaze me.

I am once again begging, praying, weeping for lists of written instructions rather than videos. I do not want to watch your two minute video in the hope of catching the two seconds where you whizz past what goddamn menu the thing is under. Write. It. Down.

"I cannot be bought by anybody," says Nigel Farage, who supported the IRA, rioters, and neo-Nazis for £79 a pop Imagine what he'd do for £5 million. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/ng-i...

Wes Streeting, the member for Palantir North.

any argument about people's responsibility to be on twitter is immediately overruled by the fact that there is a Nazi robot built into the site that strangers can use to make non-consensual AI porn of you being sexually assaulted

An insight to help you communicate with (some) Autistic kids: They tend to be incompatible with authoritarian attitudes. They need to know *why* they should do something. Without that, they don't see the point. OTOH, if treated with respect & they agree with your reasoning, they can be ride or die.

If you’re a CEO pushing the use of all things AI at a company meeting, be prepared to answer questions about how your organization will mitigate the ethical and environmental impacts of AI use. Acting surprised and as if you’ve never considered it makes you look like an unserious person.

folx, I’ve been working on AI "ethics" for almost a decade now & hate to tell you there’s no such thing as "ethical AI" the only "ethical principle" that works is regulating the shit out of the industry & to take back control of our autonomy, fundamental rights, freedoms & right to exist w/out AI

America didn’t turn shitty because he became President. He became President because America was already this shitty. That’s the uncomfortable truth that nobody wants to admit.

Feargal Sharkey is absolutely right: the government is complicit in the damage to our rivers and seas. No more window dressing. It is time for real action. Give the public a say. Give us a referendum on water ownership. Sign the petition: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...

If your business has a website, you may want to have an app developed. Here’s a quick guide on how to make that decision: Does your website function? If the answer is yes, don’t release an app. If the answer is no, fix your website and don’t release an app.

Frederick Trump… immigrant Elizabeth Trump… immigrant Fred Trump … anchor baby Mary Anne Trump… immigrant Donald Trump… anchor baby Ivana Trump… immigrant Donald Trump Jr…. anchor baby Eric Trump… anchor baby Ivanka Trump… anchor baby Melania Trump…immigrant Baron Trump… anchor baby

Microsoft losing the plot to the extent that games running on Linux through a compatibility layer are now not only faster but *assumed to be faster* than games running natively on Windows should be an even bigger story than it already is

The Dubai government looked at their rampant slavery problem and went "hm we need a way to change our image, what if we made a huge PR campaign for chocolate with pistachios in, both using slave labor of course"

Please, for the love of all things holy, if you ever learn that something you posted is fake, delete it. Do not counter with "but it feels true" or "it's an exaggeration but people will know that" or any other garbage. Delete fake images and articles. We need to be able to trust reality.

The Books From Below Collective has four days left to raise funds to open a radical bookshop and community space in Newcastle! We are so grateful to everyone who has supported but still have some way to go. Share or donate if you can! www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/booksfromb...

1 year ago today I was terminated by DOGE from USAID where I worked to get humanitarian aid into Gaza. Everyone I knew across almost 10 years of my career across 3 prior jobs became unemployed as well. My entire LinkedIn network suddenly became "open to work" I'm a one issue voter. Punishment.

America is witnessing firsthand how Trump bankrupted so many of his own companies.

My boss wants to "reward" us by taking us out to dinner, but all that does for me is add several hours to my day where I have to eat probably mediocre food in a loud restaurant while I have to keep pretending to be a Normal Coworker. Just let me go home, it's all the reward I need.

When I began this project I would never have imagined that within a decade people would be arrested and imprisoned in Britain for years just for discussing a possible protest, yet here we are. We now have anti-protest laws worthy of an authoritarian dictatorship and nobody seems to have noticed.

Read any speech by any politician or any article by our far right MSM out loud, but replace the words “illegal immigrants” with the word “Jew” Then see how it sounds. If it fills you with revulsion, then so it should with “illegal immigrant”

Our website has 1,522 pages. It's a knowledge garden — openly licensed free cultural works built for and by the neurodivergent community. Everything there is yours to use. stimpunks.org

Ditto. 'FoM or FRO' is basically my first question when reading a manifesto.

After France, Denmark is moving too: its Digitalisation Ministry plans to phase out Microsoft, switching to Linux and LibreOffice in the coming months. The goal is clear—reduce dependence on a handful of global tech giants and strengthen digital sovereignty.

Anyway, you can tell who is a patron of the monkey mechanic by whether it takes them ages to get their car fixed and they keep being cagey for some reason about which mechanic they use. Also their car always stinks of monkey shit.

Green: As far as I’m aware the only reason there were 2 separate diagnoses is so that some autistics could get sent away to be murdered by N**is. We got that separate diagnosis of Asperger’s Syndrome because Asperger noted some of his autistic patients could be put to work instead of murdered. 116/

One problem is that many articulate, confident people are forbidden by the terms of their employment to speak out. To acquiesce in the power that threatens everything is acceptable and uncontroversial. To contest it brings your employer "into disrepute" and could have you sacked.

“The enemy is not Hamas, nor is it the military wing of Hamas, every child in Gaza is the enemy. We need to occupy Gaza and settle it, and not a single Gazan child will be left there. There is no other victory” "Leader of Israel’s Zehut, Moshe Feiglin" greenrosegrs.substack.com/p/infanticid...

In 1948/49, Israel destroyed over 400 Palestinian villages, driving populations that had lived there for millennia into exile and refugee hood. An act of ethnic cleansing that is being repeated today. Gaza, the West Bank and now Lebanon. This is obscene and cruel and wicked. End of.

The thing that will never cease to anger me is all of this happened because our legal system refused to hold the wealthy and powerful to the same standard of the law that ordinary citizens are held to. Every crisis we are facing ties directly back to that.

GDP per capita is not a good measure of wealth

Thanks to a random happenstance coinage on Mastodon I can no longer think of Trump as anything other than "Idiot Amin", Idi Amin's disastrous American counterpart. The parallels are eerie (except Trump started with more and threw it away faster). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idi_Amin

Full fascism tends to arise after national humiliation. One reason Trump is useful for Amercian fascists is that he causes national humiliation.

Glad that the BBC is running a story on Dyscalculia and the trauma caused to so many of us from abusive systems and teachers.

"Khan's London!" is the expression, I believe.

These people are being retried for things they have already been found not guilty of. Around 3000 other people face terror charges for supporting them through the violent medium of words written on cardboard. This is why the government wants to limit jury trials. thebristolcable.org/2026/02/pale...

“All we have to fear, is fear itself” “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall” “What the hell is a corner store?” Great Presidential quotes of our time

"Toy" vs "The Entire Healthy Lifespan of a Child" is not a reasonable comparison. It's a metric designed to kill thought.

The C in C-PTSD stands for Capitalism, right?
