Un fucking believable

People really do need to fuck off with calling middle-aged women “wine moms” Beyond the fact that it’s rude it’s just another way of saying ‘hysterical’ or ‘shrill’ Just another way of saying “ignore these crazy bitches”

Those social media smear campaigns against women, especially queer women, laid the path to people celebrating the murder of a queer woman by a man in a uniform who called her a “fucking bitch” afterward. They unlocked the entitlement and rage to cheer gender-based violence from the online sidelines.

The Guardian doing inexplicable voluntary free public relations work for a corporation profiting from sexual abuse by headlining this as the image gen being "turned off". It isn't off: they've just monetised it. What the fuck are we doing here people, come on. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

This is the largest uprising in the 47-year history of the Islamic Republic. - protests in 100+ cities in 31 provinces - mass strikes in 50+ cities - millions on the streets in protest - 35 universities have student protests - 45 protestors killed In Tehran, security forces’ vehicles are ablaze 👇

As the global carousel of fear and misery caused by Trump and his cabinet of thugs picks up pace I wonder if any of his cheerleaders in the UK print media feel the slightest hint of remorse for their stance? Was it really worth this to trigger the libs?

A good follow-up, I guess, would be "How many users do other CSAM sites need before the government starts using them?"

not to go all identity politics but I think it’s also because the victims are women

Rebranding martial law

So, this is an occupation? US won’t be able to do anything without forces on ground. This is completely, utterly mad. I mean, we have been here before. WTF is the endgame?

Just when you think you’re unshockable. He can’t get away with this, surely? apple.news/AdmvDqMLERCe...

🧵1/12: Russia’s economy hasn’t collapsed, but it is suffering immensely. It still runs, but only because the central bank keeps it alive with constant REPO liquidity. What was once emergency support is now the daily operating system. 📷: @evgen-istrebin.bsky.social

At that point in the festive season where I’m considering burning my house down because STUFF EVERYWHERE

We’ll find out today if Trump was right about European weakness. For all of our sakes Ukraine must have this money.

So feet are woke? Should play well for the 2028 run

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

So this is the hill the BBC chooses to die on? Someone make it make sense

I think the media understands exactly how normal relationships work but also hates Labour and women with the power of a thousand suns.

Not as convinced as everyone else seems to be that Labour would have won if they had told voters they had to pay more tax. So many constituencies won on tiny majorities and the electorate has a track record of punishing truth telling and rewarding inveterate liars.

Not ideal by any means but it’s a bargain compared to what we’ve paid Andrew Windsor. And he hasn’t left. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I hope we can agree that this is A Good Thing NHS makes morning-after pill available for free across pharmacies in England www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

I asked AWS about water consumption for years. In return I’m supplied stats on how efficiently its DCs use water, and told consumption is the “wrong” metric. It seems the company chose to be criticised for secrecy rather than publish water consumption. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Well who could have seen that coming?

So, yesterday a single point of failure at one AWS data centre buggered up about a third of the world’s internet. 24 hours later this is the vibe. I mean, is this not ringing alarm bells?

Any CISOs or cybersecurity people out there willing to talk at an event about their personal story of how they were affected by a breach or managed one? #journorequests @pressplugs.bsky.social #cybersecurity

I’m sure there was nobody else out there better suited to the job. @thesundaytimes.bsky.social

This is beautiful. From across the pond I wish every #NoKings protester today the very best

Well this will be an absolute tonic for users mental health and totally worth the energy and water consumption. This is desperate barrel scraping. Well, and content obvs

Studies are beginning to reveal fissures in the argument that AI boosts productivity, writes Tech Policy Press fellow @eryk.bsky.social. Nonetheless, companies and governments are pouring investments into speculative growth without ample evidence.

If there’s one lesson we should have learned from Corbyn years it’s that some activists can be unhelpful if your goal is to win elections. I wonder how many of these are the same people.

Truly, everyone needs a spaniel in their life

Also a lesson that putting any kind of state backing behind crypto and trying to integrate it into the global financial system is like pulling the pin on a grenade then keeping hold of it to see what happens.

Heseltine bang on as ever but what I found really interesting here is how a straight, succinct answer visibility throws Victoria Derbyshire off track. You can tell she’s just not used to them.

Anyone needing a little boost to their faith in humanity might want to check out Michael Sheen on Desert Island Discs. Just wonderful. @laurenlaverne.bsky.social

For some reason I can't fathom I missed this at the time. Janey Godley, legend.

Nice

Trump giving real “Henry VIII during the Katherine Howard years” vibe here. I feel desperately sorry for anyone who has to deal with the putrid, stinking aftermath.

The Morecambe & Wise vibes make me suspect British involvement. In which case…respect & I hope you’ve scrubbed your social media and have a great lawyer on speed dial

I know quite a few people who were fired from ABC News. Mostly women and people of color behind the scenes. Some of whom are my friends I am thrilled Kimmel is back on the air, but it's frustrating that rich, powerful men, like him, have negotiating power at work while others, not so much.

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

Man I was really looking forward to the new season of Only Murders in the Building

Some killings you're allowed to joke about.

Truly how are they all not laughing? I used to struggle to keep a straight face watching other people’s kids performing in school plays and church services. Mind you, I guess they’re not rolling into the carol service after a Prosecco brunch.

Why do interviewers not challenge him on this? I get that you can't challenge him on everything because he lies literally all the time about everything but this is so screamingly absurd it just infantilises the viewer.

Now this is effective political protest. I assume the handiwork of @ledbydonkeys.org Chapeau!
