*Clicks on the link at the bottom of the article, immediately sees who the second author is* ...oh. Oh no.

since chatgpt has coached another young person in a mental health crisis to their death, I am yet again tapping the sign

If I were prime minister I'd probably try to avoid being identified as complicit in two genocides before my second year in office was out but then I'm just a standard dickhead and not a monstrous prick with zero morals I guess.

Even if I wasn't someone with mental health issues, I would want OpenAI to collapse and burn down to the ground completely, and Sam Altman et al to *redacted* anyway.

Shocked, shocked I tell you* to find out that the Met is institutionally racist *Could not be less shocked if I tried. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

the polling on data centers is just atrocious for the AI industry: • the younger people are, the more likely they are to dislike them • arguments against data centers consistently poll as more convincing than arguments for them • the dislike is also bipartisan, spans across all other demos

Ivy Leaguers: stop trying to reinvent racism. Challenge level: impossible.

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

Asking if phrenology is good is the most Economist article ever.

The Scottish government provides every family with a newborn with a ‘baby box’ of essentials to help them get started. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is bringing the boxes to NY. Why can’t we have obviously good & nice things like this under a Labour government UK wide?

The sheer imperial nihilism of this. "Waah our respectable American businessmen such as that South African Nazi are the victims of unfair treatment by these conniving foreigners who have no right not to want the human race to be trapped inside their own space junk ridden atmosphere for centuries."

Because I'm seeing a few people act like she's America's George Galloway - shit and horrendous on a lot of things, was a stopped clock on *one* thing - instead of a bigoted conspiracy dickhead, *again*.

Yes and yet several European countries are embracing a far-right worldview that would burn these policies to the ground, so let’s be not be smug or complacent here - particularly as Mamdani‘s pro-immigration stance is radical by European standards.

We’re already seeing the collaboration of institutions and individuals being reframed as a fear or season of mass fervor and I really want us to remember they chose this.

New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

Palantir is truly an evil corporation of Expanse/Bond proportions, but I can't help but notice that their very evil and megalomaniacal CEO, Alex Karp, looks like he's Taika Waititi's evil twin.

Rachel Reeves just sank to her knees in Tesco

A human shonda whose lies endanger Jewish life:

Americans who read Terry Prachett: is it just me, or does Hegseth have Lord Rust energy?

I don't recall this side mission from "Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag".

Please share & give to help Ahmed's family survive Israel's continuing genocide. His family's been left homeless and starving as winter approaches, & his children are very sick & in urgent need of unaffordable & scarce healthcare:

Thank you to everyone who's donated & shared so far for your generosity. But Archita is at 70% to her goal & donations have slowed. Please help her get some security in this terrible time if you can.

ARTICLE 19 joins partners in calling on the UN Human Rights Council to urgently convene a special session on Sudan. Atrocities being committed in and around El Fasher must be documented, Sudanese voices must be heard, and accountability is essential. defenddefenders.org/sudan-call-f...

Friends— here it is. Updated & expanded thanks to the space afforded to me in the @therumpus.net & the guidance of the brilliant @roxanegay.bsky.social’s edits. The win centers Muslims humanity — but what does that mean in a country that rejects that? therumpus.net/2025/11/05/z...

god is good

“no concern for minorities” is a wild argument against anti-semitism

INTERVIEWER: Any comment on Zohran Mamdani's victory and what it says about immigrants and trans rights? LABOUR POLITICIAN: (panicking) I've never heard of New York

Seeing UK Labour try to claim Zohran Mamdani’s victory as a win for their political stances etc, is darkly funny, given that if he was British, he would have been hounded out of Labour asap, that not a single thing one his platform they would be onboard with.

This good stuff right here is why boomers are so desperate to stop millenials from entering the political arena. They know we are gonna start doing good things as soon as we get in there, and they would rather destroy the world and die rich.

The pandemic was a mass-disabling event and one of the reasons it has largely vanished from day to day political discourse is that those in power don't want to acknowledge the long term care needs it produced.

The total and utter lack of acknowledgement of covid aside in this article it also talks about employers getting involved in employee health and i guarantee this will mean shit like them policing what you eat than anything useful like adjustments or support.

Such a symbolic win in the fight against reactionary politics considering Trump threw his weight behind Cuomo and the mainstream Democrats were very coy in their support of Mamdani Opposition to Trump & co must be based on radical opposition to all forms of oppression

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight

Lmao they’re playing this at the Zohran party rn

Terrible scenes just minutes into the new socialist regime in New York as literally hundreds of billionaires discover mamdani already living rent free in their heads

You might think you’re ready for this needle drop at the Cuomo watch party. I promise you: you are not.

need 50 of these

This is gross and Islamophobic and should be denounced by everyone. www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

Two of the most significant politics editors in Teen Vogue’s history were working class trans people from Ohio and Philly, and their tireless, fearless work is a huge part of why so many people are mourning its demise now. @satansjacuzzi.bsky.social and @leximcmenamin.com you will always be famous

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE

The BBC is making a documentary on how awful it was for a British white woman to face any accountability for talking about racialized children in such dehumanizing and oddly sexualized terms, to further signal a cultural shift towards rank white supremacy.

These articles elide exactly what Clanchy wrote in her book, so a reminder that she described girls going through puberty as having "Cypriot bosoms" and wearing "flirty hijabs". She also talked about Jewish noses and commented on the skull shapes of various children.

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:

And it begins...Hell Gate's Election Day live blog is here! Our first dispatch is from a polling site in a corner of Flatbush that Andrew Cuomo won during the primary. Are voters feeling Cuomo-mentum? Well: hellgatenyc.com/election-day...

Remember when Aaron Swartz downloaded JSTOR archives that he had full legal rights to download and the FBI hounded him literally to death for it? Anyway,

George Osborne 2010 before implementing austerity that caused 190k excess deaths: “we’re all in this together” Rachel Reeves 2025:

As far as I can see all he's been asked to do by the left is temper his language and not inflame tensions. If that's 'shutting down debate' then what sort of debate does he want to have exactly?

You're laughing. Peter Cushing pulled down the curtains to let the sunlight in and it made Dick Cheney burn to dust and you're laughing.

Some very quick googling found 12 articles about how we never talk about immigration, often written by the same people
