Meta is laying off around 8,000 workers. That's about 10% of its workforce. They're also going to leave around 6,000 jobs unfilled. Bravo, Donald and Zuckerberg. 🙄

"The memo also imposes what it calls a "Two Human Sexes Requirement," stating that "state and federal law and TTU System guidance dictate that only two human sexes, male and female, are recognized."

Well, that's bullshit. There are millions of intersex people in the world. We have always had more than 2 biological sexes.

“graduate students will be permanently barred from writing theses or dissertations centered on LGBTQ+ topics... This is the first policy at any major American university system that extends content censorship to student work itself.”

David Pocock asking Chevron how much they pay for the gas they use to convert gas to LNG. The answer is $0, but they want to say they pay for it by the investment they make. But IT IS NOT THEIR GAS IT IS AUSTRALIANS AND THEY GET IT FOR FREE! live.thepoint.com.au

I enjoy working in libraries, and if I had UBI, I would absolutely keep doing it part time on a volunteer basis, particularly because a lot of the difficulties and stresses of my job come from patrons suffering from the effects of capitalism and a lack of support services.

Get this tweet, replace mask with respirator, go back to December 2019, stop a pandemic from ever taking off. (Except vaccines which we didn’t have yet.) Key things. Source control of aerosols and ventilation. #COVIDisAirborne

I remember being in Kaua‘i during COVID, begging for wastewater testing so we could track outbreaks and protect communities. We were told it was too expensive, intrusive, and too controversial. Now this. Public health was never the issue. Power was.

How is it that HCWs still have not learned enough about Covid to make them want to mask up at work, make them not want to risk catching Covid themselves? The willful denial is deeply disturbing. The lack of ethics is criminal. Making folks sick for profit is pure evil. We deserve better.

It's not just Long COVID either--while I don't have LC, I do have a auto-immune neuromuscular condition that was brought on by my last COVID infection. COVID is not over and it will wreak this kind of havoc until we actually try to address how it spreads.

We’re heading to Women Deliver 2026 in Naarm next week We’ll be joining 1000s of feminists, advocates and changemakers from around the world to connect, learn & drive progress on gender equality.

I’m not even going to preference a party that demonstrates the mining lobby is pulling their strings.

ICE has violated almost 100 court orders. Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order. That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.

Don’t judge a book by its review count. I met a fellow indie crime author who exchanged books with me. He only had 1 review. Started reading & it’s damn good! Review count doesn’t = quality. Sometimes great books just haven’t been discovered yet. Give indie books a chance. #AuthorSky #BookSky

My kids are so open to experiencing culture. They'll try anything, from chicken tenders at an Indian restaurant to chicken tenders at a mexican restaurant.

When you're reading Nobody's Girl by Virgins Giuffre and you hear Pam Bondi say "If they prosecute everybody the system will collapse." Isn't that the point?! #sheshed #metoo

TRUE statement!!!! #Epstein #TrumpFiles #EpsteinFiles

This is important. “More than 100 retired NASA astronauts have banded together to form a new nonpartisan organization…its members “believe deeply in the principles that have propelled our nation for 250 years,” such as the rule of law, checks and balances and the peaceful transition of power.”

I was about to give up on my fate, pretty much as I do daily, thinking this pain will be the end of me, when on my walk in the little free library was the perfect book I need for research for my new novel, telling me this book wants me to write it & a reader said my work touched them. I'll continue!

A coronial inquest has heard that Northern Territory authorities assessed that a father posed "no risk" to his child, despite allegations he repeatedly abused his partner and shook the baby www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

"One in nine women worldwide have experienced violence from men in the last 12 months and one in three women have been subject to physical or sexual violence in their lifetime." #MVAWG #femicide

I love all of these things!

'Heated Rivalry' wins Peabody Award for presenting non-toxic side of masculinity

So true. Even when I was working at a University in the 80's, if you married someone in the same faculty, one had to leave, & guess which one it usually was: the woman.

Stating he is crazy is just describing the scenery. I am here to connect the dots and raise a warning: we aren't headed for chaos - we are headed for catastrophe, and we are standing on the edge of something much worse than a personality flaw #auspol www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260423-the...

my boomer trait is that no I do not think there needs to be an app for everything, especially not for an aroma diffuser in my bedroom

Do young ppl still want online content now that the entire Internet has been dominated by and trashed by adults?

It’s very hard to have a civil dinner with a face-eating leopard.

We performed a study to determine if the introduction of the algorithm was associated with improved clinical care for people with ME/CFS. We found that more people were getting to the right place at Mayo, and were they getting there with a more accurate working diagnosis!

We’re excited to share a new study about the ME/CFS diagnostic & treatment algorithm that #MEAction’s Scientific Director & Mayo Clinic researcher-clinicians created, as part of the Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine grant. www.meaction.net/post/meactio... @exceedhergrasp1.bsky.social

Phang: In one of those “you only believe it if you read it” moments, Politico says there are Republicans on Oversight who support the idea of convicted felon Trump giving a pardon to Ghislaine Maxwell. The fact that that is even being considered by House Oversight Republicans should disgust you.

As a wedding florist, if couples start using stupid AI to write their stupid emails I immediately don’t want to work with them.

this is paywalled but a few of you know how to get around it, One Nation, for those not in Australia, is an extreme right wing party, currently taking up the space by the Conservative Liberal Party which is collapsiing in on itself, but they're all fucking mad... www.theage.com.au/politics/vic...

The app in the screenshot. The tea app. Both quickly shut down after great outrage when men learned of them. Apps for men's violence, like "rape academies"? Men scolding women about "62 million" & why that's actually not a big deal.

nice try but this is a common banking security question

"630 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have died in custody since the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody handed down its recommendations in 1991," Ms Kiss said. "That number isn't just a statistic - it shows the real consequences of decades of inaction

just read trump's racist diatribe against asians. i don't know how asian conservatives stand by this man. supporting someone who insults your family — your parents — that way is crazy to me. out of your mind.

Well this is very concerning. How did two women get into the Oval Office? I don't know how this could have happened, especially while the important men are busy explaining that 1+1=6.

Workers who are taken in by bullshit are bad at analytical reasoning and thus easily convinced. These people test poorly on metrics like “logical reasoning” and “decision-making,” and score high on “overconfidence in one’s intellectual and analytic abilities.”

Grok told researchers pretending to be delusional ‘drive an iron nail through the mirror while reciting Psalm 91 backwards’

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage. This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country. #CommitToALivingWage

And in an other puzzling post I found these startling words: "In Ballroom Dancing, feet are the only part of the body that touches the floor." So, not elbows? Or foreheads? 🤔 #LanguageMatters #CommunicationTool #Language

Trump considering increase in refugee admissions to bring in more white South Africans, official says

If you've heard about the coming Super El Niño, the collapsing AMOC, nationwide drought in the US, melting permafrost, crop failures, or skyrocketing insurance rates, you probably thought: "Golly, I sure hope the oil companies who did all this and lied about it will be OK!" Well, not to worry:

We have to shut these prediction markets down.
