A trans woman was arrested in the UK for posting on Bluesky “I hope she was handcuffed to the bed as she screamed in agony." This was a reference to comments made by Widdecombe when she was prisons minister where she supported the handcuffing of Incarcerated pregnant women giving birth.

happy thirty years of thirty years of hurt everybody

Solemnly reversing my England flag back to racist

JK Rowling offers to fund lawsuits against Amnesty is a headline that will cut through.

Autistic Bane: Nobody cared who I was until I started masking

quote I got in 2017 going viral again - it happens like three times a year (most people don’t realize the Nazi who said it to me was arrested few hours later after he and two other Nazis opened fire on counter-protesters) www.huffpost.com/entry/attemp...

Every time this tech comes around, we make it so no one wants to wear them outside, and that is good and correct and we must keep it up until it fades away yet again. And then th enext time? We do it all over again.

he actually did the meme

given that there's a contact sensor in the ball, i think the world cup broadcasts are missing an opportunity to implement screen shake

My favorite Cray cameo bsky.app/profile/retr...

the biggest positive story on climate is that it doesn’t seem to matter how much of the world is run by reactionary fascists: the rise of solar is unstoppable

Actual adult sites go through over a dozen levels of compliance and screening and moderation to prevent/block/report not only CSAM, but revenge porn, deepfakes and anything remotely implying nonconsent. And they still can't get payment processing. Grok running digital rape factory and has Stripe.

do you ever feel like everything you do is waiting on a mythical time when you will be well and you don’t know if you’ll ever be well again

Reform vs Refuse

Grateful to @heatherburnstech.bsky.social for sharing this video where SafeToNet's founders, Richard and Sharon Pursey, say "God has created the safest phone in the world" and "God bought to us Vodafone" and "nothing [ie SafeToNet] worked [until we found God] and now it does." youtu.be/KkPm7EJM3K8

🚨 Exclusive 🚨 The government’s favoured supplier of child safety software has never made a profit, lost £5m in 2023, is three months late with its 2024 accounts and the founder’s restaurant group went under, costing HMRC hundreds of thousands of pounds. 1/ theuglygame.wordpress.com/2026/07/02/u...

This isn’t true. The 18 yo in question, Arion Kurtaj, has already been released from the hospital and is awaiting trial on his 12 felony indictments for computer hacking, blackmail, and fraud. Rockstar had nothing to do with the hospital order; his legal team requested the competence evaluation.

Oh, you've made a video game? And you want people to play it? Well, let's talk about how to do that better. How, exactly, can you make sure people care about your game and want to tell other people about it? Check it out here: docseuss.medium.com/its-not-enou...

rare and beautiful Betteridge L

lots of people are very excitedly posting about new schism just dropped and absolutely nobody is posting who is being schismed or why it matters other than for facilitating schismposting

amazon: we're not talking about it

This is everything right now

this feels so long ago

we've needed a law protecting end user's digital rights for like two decades now. the simple fact that digital storefronts use terms like "buy," "own," and "purchase" while the EULA says something completely different is a glaring consumer rights problem.

(If you post online that police disproportionately target black people for stop and search you *will* get someone replying that that isn't true and you're an idiot for thinking it and they *will* transition to explaining why racial profiling is actually good, often without noticing they've done it)

Saying we should all go back to physical media I think misses the point. I actually *like* buying games and movies digitally for a bunch of reasons. What we need is better consumer protections so the things we do buy digitally are actually owned and companies cant delete/revoke access!

If my entire success was because my flailing videogame company pivoted on a game in development for like 10 years by spending a month converting it into a blatant ripoff of pubg then adding SpongeBob to it you wouldn't find me giving quotes on how the game industry should be run

TMZ DC with perhaps the most brutal video from Trump's Great American State Fair, showing Dr. Oz on stage bragging to Dean Cain about how big the crowd is, only for the reporter to pan around and show absolutely nobody is there. Original post: x.com/i/status/207...

A quarter of terror attacks in Britain over the past decade have targeted Muslims, but some have gone largely unnoticed because of delays formally declaring them terrorism Most jihadist attacks, by contrast, have been declared within hours of taking place inews.co.uk/news/uk-terr...

The thing about social media age restrictions is that it treats today’s internet as an inevitability we all just have to deal with. The internet (and the WORLD) wasn’t like this until like four dudes were allowed to own & monetize as much tech real estate as they wanted. Fix THAT problem.

this has happened like 4 times before btw lol en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DRAM_pr...

I’m tired of “Mahmoud is a disgrace” and hungry for “anyone happy to remain Mahmoud’s colleague in any capacity is a disgrace”

If Andy Burnham represented change, they'd treat him like Zack Polanski.

A gift for my #LawSky friends. tl;dr dbrand spent months and $$$ designing and launching a product based on Valve’s IP and never asked permission 🤦‍♂️ www.reddit.com/r/dbrand/s/p...

Just realised they will absolutely ban hypno porn before actual conversion therapy in the UK

i’m CRUMBLING

goddamn near 100% of people who play a lot of Fire Emblem come in thinking damn the animations are super cool and later turn them all off and just make the sprites bump into eachother on the grid

doctor: you have synesthesia me: I see what you’re saying doctor: yes I know, you can stop telling me that

This one sneering tweet somehow explains and encapsulates everything about how corporate Democrats managed to lose to Donald Trump twice

a thing that i think is really funny is that almost everything in tech accumulates optimisations faster than public general knowledge can absorb them, and then when the public catches on to actual shady stuff tech companies are doing they assume - not unreasonably - the optimisations are part of it
