what trances of torments does that man endure who is consumed with one unachieved revengeful desire

when people talk about AI used in moderation of social media posts, you must remember there is always the human-in-the-loop, often a woman, often in the Global South, always dehumanised and forgotten 1/n www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

One thing we don’t do well, societally or interpersonally, is digest harms when there really isn’t anyone to blame. Being called a n*gger on international television in front of your peers is a harm. Having a disability that creates that harm through no choice of your own is a harm.

I don't understand what you want except removing him from a space for his disability? Recommend watching this video I think she explains it as a POC with Tourettes.

This from the lawyer who successfully argued the tariff case before SCOTUS, casts huge doubt over the applicability of the statute the @POTUS is relying on to slap down a new 15 percent global tariff.

I think it's incumbent on us in mainstream parties to actually name it and explain why it's wrong. Otherwise we will continue to fail.

If you want to understand why the BBC's stance on trans rights - only platforming cis people (and only those with a sceptical perspective) - is so outrageous imagine if it only platformed men talking about women's rights (and only those with a sceptical perspective).

This ruling is disappointing but one thing is clear: the EHRC’s draft code of practice got the law wrong and must be changed. Women's and men's toilets can be provided on a trans-inclusive basis for customers and service users. [1/3]

As Nadia Whittome MP says, the EHRC got its draft trans guidance wrong and so the final guidance (which the government held off publishing) will have to go back to the drawing board. For now, despite what the GC’s and their right wing press friends claim, service providers are perfectly entitled […]

Please journalists: scientific findings don’t get “revoked” by politicians. They can be challenged or contradicted by other scientists in the presence of new evidence, sure. That didn’t happen here. Every new piece of climate science since the endangerment finding supports the original thesis.

“Jim Ratcliffe’s comments were outrageous. They are offensive and they were deeply wrong. We do have a problem in our country, and that problem is inequality. It’s not immigration.” Ellie Chowns on #BBCQT, rejecting attempts to blame migrants for country's problems.

The EU has just voted, by a VERY wide margin, for the full recognition of trans women as women…!

Trees aren't just "lungs of the Earth"—they regulate climate, store carbon, support biodiversity & cool the planet. Losing forests accelerates chaos. Time to plant & restore massively! 🌳🔥 #ClimateCrisis #SaveNature

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

Every since day that passes in this fascist hellscape with terrors being repeated from America's legacy it's clear why y'all ALL need Black history! Get to learning what was hidden from you about your country.

I actually think I have a somewhat serious Big Point about the relationship between capitalism and voting. I have heard many people say "purchase decisions are the same as voting". And they're not, for many reasons. One of which is: you are not making purchasing decisions for the whole country.

Important job alert! Toronto’s City Planning Division is looking for a new Director of Urban Design. If you have a passion for cities and for the importance of architecture, urban design, art and heritage in successful city-building, you should check out our job posting at tinyurl.com/3e8s3br8

Today I learned that Number 10 has/had a Director of Communications. Who knew?!! Seriously… Who could possibly have guessed that?

So glad a debate is finally happening. This goes to the heart of the security of our democratic system. I’ve taken part in court cases against successive governments for their failure to investigate hostile state interference in UK elections - ministers’ lack of curiosity is truly shocking 👇

Anderson Cooper: “So it's more expensive to have a chronically homeless person living on the streets than it is to actually subsidize an apartment for them?” Answer: “Yes, we’re paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street and do nothing…” #HousingFirst

This amused me greatly 😂 especially the fox painting 😂 Thank yoooo @cheekybudgie.bsky.social

In these dark days of February, a little something to look forward to.

This is absolutely spot on. Although I’d add public and environmental health teams because transport also causes environmental health harms from air pollution & noise.

argh can we just have Gordon Brown back as PM? "Gordon Brown not calling a snap election just before the financial crash in 2008" is my 'send Sam back to put right what once went wrong' moment.

Matt Wrack said: “We have serious concerns about the changes to the RSHE guidance for schools. In its current form, the guidance seeks to guide schools to adopt approaches to teaching learning and support that do not reflect the obligation on schools to operate in the best interests of the child.”

politicians should spend less time managing expectations of by telling voters what a minority party can't pass and instead engage in this four-step process: 1) say what you think is right 2) obstruct whatever isn't that 3) lose if that's how it goes 4) remind voters who passed the evil law

The Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.

i post about why *needing a car* is a harm done to you by the society you live in and most of the replies are "but I need a car" folks! that is immaterial to my claim that you *shouldn't* need a car!

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

Somebody should invent a socioeconomic system which is good at allocating resources

Isn't it flabbergasting how hard "Do no harm" seems to be at even the lowest player difficulty setting?

It’s a tough burden being one of the few dozen who hold this objectively correct opinion, but it’s our cross to bear 😔

the whole charade should be banned on this point alone

What Happens When You Underfund Education with Daniel Kebede and Zack Polanskip

Great work from the FT's John Burn-Murdoch www.ft.com/content/b474...

Abuse of children is fractally self-similar to all the other patterns of domination that hold each other up and that often find embodiment in the most powerful people in our current destructive systems - white supremacy, nature domination, and patriarchy to just a few.

One way to think through the victory in Tarrant County, given that Rehmet ran in labor issues, is that the voters were offered two competing theories of solidarity and chose collective bargaining over white supremacy as their mode This shift is possible and important to aim for

I rewatched the first season of Picard because I wanted to see what it was really saying about AI and importantly it said nothing about AI. Instead it was about “synthetic life” and I believe this distinction is important. In their view, life has agency and choice about who and what it will be.

Sorry, but as someone who knows the Cuban regime to be an illegitimate tyranny that deserves to be overthrown by its people, there are better ways to support the population there than making their lives even more miserable. www.nbcnews.com/world/latin-...

I thought @zackpolanski.bsky.social nailed the Kuenssberg interview today. Messaging on point, love the way he challenged the established omertà on issues like drug policy, proportional representation and rent control. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd...
