"The murderer was not a monster, she said, but the "healthy son" of a deeply patriarchal society. They were words that brought crowds out across Italy demanding change." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Mail gave the co-founder of Enough a massive spread to talk about the campaign, and to tell his daughter's story. No where does it mention the concerns, the criticisms, the issues with self swab kits, how it shares disinfo about rape crisis, and - always to me the most shocking bit - how its

Today, November 26th, is Economic Abuse Day. As technology continues to evolve, so too do the methods perpetrators use to exploit and control their victims.

What scientists can do is truly mind-boggling. I can't say that I don't feel some unease, but this looks like such a promising technology. I hope this is the end of Oliver's health issues. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I seem to be one of the few people who didn't enjoy The Hallmarked Man. Maybe because I'm not remotely invested or interested in the Robin-Cormoran will they, won't they circus. There's too much of it, it's tedious and Robin can do so much better. There, I've said it.

Oh no! What a shame! People switching off this animal abusing crap!

X's new location feature seems like a monumental own goal. Maybe I'm missing something here.

Interesting use throughout this article of "identifies as" to mean "isn't really"

Vamos Jenni. Felicitaciones por ser un ejemplo de resistencia ante los machistas españoles que le dieron la razón al insufrible de Rubiales.

"Despite the difficulties getting everyone to agree on how to tackle climate change, real-world solutions are being implemented at speed almost everywhere." Love this #COP30 takeaway from @georginarannard.bsky.social. Just because countries aren't acting at scale doesn't mean the rest of us can't!

The book and the article are excellent reads.

It's interesting to see those who talk of "epistemic collapse" uncritically repost comments that are blatantly misogynistic, from an account that openly boasts about targeting GC women. That is one mighty blind spot. And it's exhausting.

I cannot read this without blood-curdling rage

Still hands down one of my favourite cartoons of all time

The BBC gained a fair amount of sympathy following Trump's threats but then, for some unfathomable reason, chose to invite Kelvin MacKenzie to talk about integrity and standards in journalism. Seriously.

Whatever your political persuasion, whatever your ethical boundaries, surely there is point beyond which the sheer misery inflicted upon ordinary people by exploitative bastards like Andrew Milne should make us question how society ought to protect itself from such people.

It's really something out of a dark fairytale.

"[...] more than thirty per cent of American respondents said that their political opponents were not fully human. [...] These findings echo a broader pattern political scientists call affective polarization: the replacement of disagreement with abhorrence." www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Depending on who you ask, I'm either far-right, Trump-supporting, fascistic vermin, or a communist. What a wonderful world.

Mercury is a potent neurotoxin — yet the UK still allows it in dental fillings. 43 countries have already moved on. If Germany and many African nations can phase it out safely, so can we. #MercuryFree #PublicHealth

"These far-right initiatives are often rooted in a worldview outlining the illegitimacy of the state or the promotion of violence against the state or other identities. This means the ideological entrenchment process [...] poses an extremist challenge." theconversation.com/far-right-ex...

I really, really want some chocolate. Is there any point in resisting?

"I lost everything, all my things," he said. "We need food. We have no food." Survival is the primary concern on most people's minds here. The other is the rising death toll." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I genuinely don't see the appeal of fictional horror 🤷‍♀️ Is this a minority view? It seems very popular.

Had a fast-food lunch today and boy is it not agreeing with me. I hardly ever have deep fried food so I'm assuming that's the issue. I expect an uncomfortable night. Lesson learnt.

I blame Starmer, obvs.

I'd quite like to know what she means by "culturally coherent" because I have virtually nothing in common with white supremacists/the far right.

Truth. My feet are two little blocks of ice.

In 2021 Afghan women started an online campaign to protest the Taliban's female dress code by posting photos of what traditional Afghan clothes look like #AfghanWomen #WomensArt

I think I'm going to go back to the scientific side of issues because I find people/events so confusing right now. I feel I'm spending too much time trying to understand what's going on and still getting it wrong. I need a break from it all.

"Thiel said that international financial bodies, which make it more difficult for people to shelter their wealth in tax havens, are one sign the antichrist may be amassing power and hastening Armageddon, saying: “It’s become quite difficult to hide one’s money.”" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Today’s Times gives “urged” the entirely new meaning of “a lukewarm mention in the middle of a 66 page report”.

Um. There’s a woman presenting this too.

Today I saw the Palestinian flag described as the Hamas flag and the Israeli flag described as the genocide flag. Sometimes it's very difficult to retain just a little hope.
