Hilarious and deeply insightful writing by @brianphillips.lol.

Someone actually did a study a while back that showed the most effective way to get women out of TERF groups wasn’t people trying to change their minds, it was them getting literally any benign hobby, like learning other languages or taking up needlework

the trump official — who led the siege & occupation of Minneapolis — admitting to having an ongoing dialogue/rapport with Martin Sellner, a straight-up Nazi who influenced the Christchurch shooter, while speaking at a conference about remigration (read: ethnic cleansing) is a pretty big deal!

Joyous, somber, and mournful Pride Month to my queer siblings. Sending love especially to the parents of the kids like me. Your children are not aberrations. They deserve to grow up, but most importantly: they deserve to have a childhood. Give them a big hug for me.

ICE also got the 3-year-old killed putting him in custody of a random estranged in-law. "He had been stomped on, burned with a lighter, and suffered at least 17 blows to the head." A 3-YEAR-OLD. Burn it all down. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

we cannot be a nation until the whole hell of the deportation machine, the family separation machine, the foul moloch that sustains Stephen Miller and grinds children into dust, until all of that is dismantled and the work of reparation begins www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

why did you transition, right answers only. someone told me my hair would grow back curly if I shaved it off.

Women are getting laid off more than men *because of* AI, not to mention less likely to be hired *because of* AI Sources: • www.theguardian.com/business/202... • leanin.org/research/ai-... • dcjournal.com/women-face-m... • www.linkedin.com/pulse/when-a... • www.unwomen.org/en/news-stor...

Nursing home owner Joseph Schwartz: • paid himself $5M as a “ghost employee” • diverted tens of millions owed to taxpayers & employees • failed to pay at least 3 multimillion-dollar judgments awarded to grieving families He also received a Trump pardon. (Published March)

TW A boy tried to kill himself end of 10th grade because he said I wouldn't date him. He changed his junior year schedule to match mine before he attempted. The school told me I could drop my full load of AP classes or transfer, so he was in all my classes. Alphabetized or by most heinous offense?

Are we finally ready to talk about how terfs have been helping the far right destroy women’s rights by pushing hyper femininity yet or is it too early for this decades old information too.

Oh hell yeah @amnesty.org comes out swinging: "Amnesty International finds that standalone generative AI systems... are fundamentally incompatible with IHRL. As such, Amnesty International is calling for a prohibition of such systems." www.amnesty.org/en/documents...

The Department of Justice’s Office on Violence Against Women is withholding $150 million meant to help survivors of domestic violence. Gender-based violence service organizations across the country report radio silence on the status of applications, some submitted over a year ago.

We are being kettled in at the Delaney Hall protests. That means they are staging at certain streets to prevent people from leaving after 9Pm even though the rally is not out front of the detention center. They are saying something on the loud speakers but it’s muffled.

ok I have gotten so many DMs on LinkedIn about contributions, I added a contact form a little earlier than planned. We're hoping to start curating this Q2 with a launch date of roughly Q3! www.50x35.org/contact

You ever notice that the people posting the LinkedIn partner ads for the AI generated headshot apps are never actually using the generated headshots, and instead appear to have professionally photographed pictures on their profiles? Just me? 😅

It’s not an exaggeration to say that this is like one of the single most noticed things in the world

Antonio McDowell spent 23 years in prison for murder before being exonerated. He said a certificate of innocence “signifies freedom,” but Cook County prosecutors are fighting to block the court order he badly wants.

“No one is proposing to ban all the tall girls from basketball, even though this means that aspiring 5'1'' athletes are unlikely to make it far in the sport. Even more strongly, there just aren't that many trans girls out there. There is no prospect of us ‘crowding out’ all the cis women.”

GOOD NEWS! Amivantamab has demonstrated unprecedented results in an international trial for cancer patients whose disease has become resistant to chemotherapy AND immunotherapy. Tumors shrank in OVER a third of participants, with 15 patients experiencing COMPLETE eradication of their tumors.

A few weeks ago, I read the statistic that 50% of women leave tech by age 35. I thought about how I'm turning 35 this year and how many times I have come close to rage quitting. How I almost didn't make it into the industry in the first place because of gendered violence.

Backrooms wasn't scary because I have C-PTSD and it was a pretty spot on depiction of C-PTSD dreams. lmao.

it's been out there forever...

The problem is that “I am often scared and angry about social change” does not inherently lend itself to interesting art. You can be as technically skilled as the greats, but art with nothing interesting to say is just a commodity.

Gonna see Backrooms at the drive in tonight, maybe. We have to stay awake through Grogu. Luckily I have an air mattress for the back of the car. lmao.

Latest Platner scandal involves sexting other women early in his marriage

NEW: Colorado Republicans are meeting now to select a new chairperson after infighting led the resignation of the previous chair. A leading candidate is MAGA podcaster Joe Oltmann, who has called for the execution of the "Synagogue of Satan Jews" running Colorado.

Okay, fine, so he sent sexual texts to multiple women other than his wife, made awful comments about rape online, and got a Nazi tattoo, but what are you gonna do, not vote for him? www.nytimes.com/2026/05/30/u...

Have you, like me, spent the last 26 years worrying if the Canadian Potato Museum STILL has the display of various potato diseases with potatoes in little coffins? Stop worrying. I checked today. Still there.

The person organizing this conference that Greg Bovino is speaking at is Martin Sellner, a neo-Nazi activist. Sellner, among other things, corresponded and agreed to meet with the man who went on to murder 51 worshippers at two mosques in Christchurch, NZ in 2019 www.theguardian.com/world/2019/m...

At the Republican convention today they opened with a moment of silence for…. Derek Chauvin. No, seriously. That’s the party we’re up against. We cannot let them win any state races or take control of the House or Senate in November. They had a moment of silence for a convicted murderer. #mnleg

I think the best thing about the wedding is that the menus say "aprés-ska" for the post ska show snacks. hehe, I am funnie.

Hmmm, looks like some Republicans in North Carolina want to legalize domestic homicide, if a man is killing a pregnant woman. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

#tdih 1942 Fred Koremastu arrested for resisting Executive Order 9066 (people of Japanese descent incarcerated in U.S. concentration camps.) Convicted & sent to Topaz in Utah. He took case to Supreme Court, DOJ hid key evidence. Read what happened next ⬇️ www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/fr...

NEW: Trump's gross Aliens.gov site claims to map where immigrants have been taken into custody, but it includes more 83 spots where Americans alone were arrested. Over 700 locations include citizen arrests. The counter is fake. The music was ripped. And Puerto Rico is listed as a foreign country.

So we’ve been cooking up some thoughts on Gen AI at @amnesty.org and I’m ecstatic to finally see it out in the world! Our 🗝️ conclusion: standalone gen AI systems, built on unlawful web scraping, constitute mass invasions of privacy by design & should be prohibited www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

if one removed people who obsessively talk about teenagers' genitalia in public, a huge swathe of the conservative movement would simply vanish

NEW: A lot of bad has happened to American science over the last year but nothing comes even close to what’s about to happen if we don’t speak out in opposition to the OMB rule changes and I hope @aaas-socsci.bsky.social @apsphysics.bsky.social and others will launch public campaigns about this. 🧪🔭⚛️

“So far, U.S. forces have carried out 59 boat strikes that have killed 196 people in the campaign, which has been characterized by mixed messaging and exaggerations. While officials have contended that the boats were carrying illicit drugs, they have not provided evidence to back up their claims.”

E. Jean Carroll didn't just "accuse" Trump of sexual assault. She won a civil lawsuit against Trump for sexual assault. A jury found that Trump sexually assaulted her. She deserves for us to call it what it is.

Although attorneys generally recommend seeking legal assistance before filing a habeas petition, courts may allow “next friends” to file pro se petitions on behalf of detained immigrants without an attorney. Here's how:

NEW: A likely hate crime in Chicago left a prominent trans science educator, @jeymccreight.bsky.social with severe injuries after a brutal late night beating. McCreight told @evanurquhart.bsky.social he's shaken but determined to continue his activism. CPD confirmed an ongoing investigation.

let's hope I don't regret the chain of events that I have kicked off tonight. God bless. 🙏🏻

YO I USED TO BUY CHANTERELLES FROM THIS GUY, HE IS A GOOD DUDE

this really happened by the way

My favorite part of the movie The Sheep Detectives was when the sheep said "I'm a sheep detective" and then he sheep detectived all over

Really enjoyed chatting with @josephcox.bsky.social at @404media.co about the consumer spyware industry aka stalkerware, which I've spent much of my career investigating. We talked about the massive scale of the stalkerware problem, why they keep getting hacked, and what I've learned over the years.

Your garden still isn't growing? Till issue.

Dennis Dahmer was 12 years old in January 1966 when Klansmen stormed his family's home and set it on fire, murdering his father, civil rights activist Vernon. He watched his father die. 60 years later, he watched the Supreme Court gut the Voting Rights Act. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/their-l...
