How has America accepted that private health insurance should be subsidized, at a cost exceeding what public health care would likely cost? www.politicalorphans.com/socialism-fo...

Some of these people have now been fired and rehired TWICE since January. The current state of dysfunction is mind boggling.

A fair, and damning, indictment of the SCOTUS majority.

Carole Cadwalladr did a massive longrunning investigation into who funded brexit, where the money came from and those who were linked to it. She was taken to court by Arron Banks and after yrs of gruelling treatment was not prosecuted. She did however lose her job. That's where we're at in the UK.

Just read this newish article in the journal "Metaphysics" by Neil Gascoigne. As a non-philosopher I didn't follow every part of his argument, but what I did understand I liked. The last couple of pages in particular were accessible and insightful. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

💔🧵 OF COURSE they're perpetrating sexual abuse.

I'm sitting here thinking about having a 15 daughter being chased down and abducted by masked men while the local police watch and let them carry her away to god-knows where w/zero accountability we have to understand that girls are in severe danger of sexual violence from anonymous ICE goons

Does your university have a contract with Grammarly? Write to the decision-maker asking if they think the university should be paying for a tool that is fast integrating features that can only be used for academic misconduct and cognitive offloading and request they drop the contract.

May I offer you a borb in these trying times? 🪶

Breaking: Disturbing scenes out of Portland, 2025 — authorities warn the situation could escalate.

it's long, expensive, nerve-wracking, complicated and error-prone. has only been getting worse.

"We can't afford to shop at any store that has a philosophy." - Marge Simpson 😂

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US. 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝚆𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚆𝚒𝚗.

Every time you think they've sunk all low as they can, they prove you wrong. Utter scum.

Diane Keaton was one of the absolute greats, in movies of course, but also in displaying and popularizing a personal fashion that befit modern women. people.com/diane-keaton...

And the scope of his lie! He's lying about the event he's describing, then lying about his reaction to an event that's nothing like what he describes, then he's crafting a big narrative about how he and others have been patient with a nonexistent situation. In other times we'd call this psychopathy.

LA: we will fight you. Chicago: we will fight you. PDX: we will make you endure week after week of of improv theater.

Y'know there's an excellent book called Why Nations Fail which explains why cronyism and nepotism are bad for countries. Ironically the first compares 2 towns separated by the US/Mexican border. Trump and his cronies will turn the US into Mexico, great for the ruling families, bad for everyone else.

The thing I'm "stunned" about is why this isn't the biggest domestic news item on every flipping platform bylinetimes.com/2025/10/11/s...

It's the juxtaposition of the relatively subtle design with the batshit content that makes this a particularly confusing and alarming artifact. there's a PhD in the semiotics of this shirt. hoping MAHA and MAGA are long dead before that happens.

Ukrainian journalist Viktoriia Roshchyna was killed in Russian captivity after months of torture and silence. Investigators have now identified the Russian officials responsible for her death. 🧵 1/7 ⬇️

This week, MAGA figures claimed Kristi Noem "stared down" violent antifa protesters in Portland. Turns out they were talking mostly about a guy in a chicken suit. This episode opens a window into how MAGA propaganda works and MSM failure to handle it. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2016...

Pretty sick and tired of hearing how men know how to be better women than actual REAL women are

Ooooops!!!!

One more voice really making the case that women need safe spaces free of *all* men, whatever metaphysical beliefs they have.

I think a lot of the gender confusion nowadays is young people believing that certain traits are masculine, some are feminine, buying into former old fashioned social parameters. Not to say that intersex doesn't exist, because it does...

They always come for the women.

This incessant focus on employment, even for people who can potentially work, is ridiculous in my view. The primary focus for any disabled person should be supporting them to maximise their quality of life before anything else is even considered.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

Some of these stories are difficult to read, but it’s important that as many people as possible know what is happening. We are 100% living in a police state. SHARE widely. mdavis19881.substack.com/p/reddit-thr...

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

My niece was involved in this… www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p...

1/6 There’s so much talk about getting disabled people with mental health conditions or neurodiversity into work, but not enough about making sure jobs that are suitable for them and don’t make them more unwell Take me, for example At 18 I tried to work in Morrisons on the checkouts

Women being provocative These pic represents @SBSisters, @FemicideCensus & Sisters Salon. We are not sure what @SianBerry finds provocative >cataloguing of women killed by men > domestic abuse services for Black & refugee women > our sexual harassment campaign ? #FiLiA2025

This is how you respond to male violence.

Sian Berry MP, blaming women for the violence shown towards them. Deeply disgusting by the Green Party, the party that hates women.

The Nerve, run by people who were sacked or quit when Tories took over The Observer. It is immediately ace. Sign up here and it would also really be great if you could pay them £6.95 a month as the 5 women at the helm sunk all their redundancy money into it. www.thenerve.news

"Activists from Bash Back, which describes itself as a "trans-led direct action group", posted a statement saying it was behind the vandalism." I'm really, really, really sick of these woman-hating bastards. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I see local MP @sianberry.bsky.social tried to get a feminist conference @filiacharity.bsky.social banned by the local council. I'm guessing she's pro VAWG then. Or maybe pro trafficking for prostitution or against poverty reduction or equal rights for migrant women?

I know there's a million worthy causes to fund but may I suggest this teacher in Maryland who wants to buy two Albert Camus novels for his AP students? Please and thank you? www.donorschoose.org/project/2-no...

not sure whether to be relieved or alarmed about this. DO NOT TRUST LLMs. www.anthropic.com/research/sma... "injecting just 250 malicious documents into pretraining data, adversaries can successfully backdoor LLMs ranging from 600M to 13B parameters."

Great article about the German Spaßguerillas - 'fun-fighters" "Playfully imitating ... ignoring the 'us-them' division disrupts .. fixed patterns of antagonism. "

@sianberry.bsky.social Green MP blames women for being attacked by men. The Green Party is a men’s rights party.
