Few sexual assaults get reported, investigated, charged, prosecuted, or result in any legal penalty. This is because every formal system required for “justice” to be served treats women as unequal or like property. Men in the public eye, & their stans, keep using this dynamic to their advantage.

Brilliant 🔥

Ideas for US Americans planning to hit on members of the #TartanArmy Ask a man in a kilt why he isn’t wearing Scottish national dress: wellies. Inquire about the rules for shoving your granny off a bus - what have paternal grandmothers done so differently from the maternal side?

Good to see that the George Washington statue in Boston is now wearing the appropriate headgear. Pic: Dan Witzke

This is the World Cup content I'm here for.

Some huge scientific news announced in my house this morning.

Yes, more people should read Terry Pratchett. Helen Lewis should read Monstrous Regiment.

“Why Misogynists Make Great Informants: How Gender Violence on the Left Enables State Violence in Radical Movements” by Courtney Desiree Morris theanarchistlibrary.org/library/cour...

If this isn’t a sign that Scotland needs to give the whole Oxbridge omnishambles the boot, I don’t know what is. Austerity-huffing muppets are handing England over to fascists, like the milquetoast centrists before them. Opting out isn’t sentimental nationalism, it’s just prudent.

I will be ignoring Edinburgh today.

As people get ready to vote in the Scottish Parliament election please be careful of the spoiler operation which is 'Independent Green Voice'. They are listed second on the regional ballot paper in South of Scotland with the Green Party further down. IGV is a right-wing spoiler operation.

This is the problem. A pitch to voters "turning to Greens and Reform". You have to actually choose between the voters who want what they perceive as a socially liberal socialist environmentalist party and the ones who want fascism. You can't appeal to both, and now they all hate you.

it’s still not a wiki

Here's the initial block list of those who attended the WHCD tonight. Adding names as it becomes clear they were there.

This is what it feels in the project where AI was used in the architectural drawings and specifications.

Not everything that breaks is technically the fault of vibe coding but the kind of culture that would foster vibe coding is the kind that produces a lot of shit that breaks.

The section that the Guardian censored… By Prof Judith Butler

Every person sexually harassed by a Member of Congress needs the “uwu I am just a baby politician and can’t say anything” crowd to offer the victims jobs. Give them their lives back. Say sorry with cash. Having a boss who can’t keep his godsdamned hands to himself should not end a career.

The year hacktivists and artists should have known better about Weev, the misogynist Nazi complete with massive Nazi tattoo, was 2007 when he harassed a woman off the internet. His attacks were absolutely vile, and meant to cause fear and possibly physical harm.

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

There is no ceasefire in Lebanon. Israel has been bombing Lebanon non-stop since last night. If anything Israel is expanding its war on Lebanon. You are being lied to

“But the abuser needs to be rehabilitated!” Sure. Somewhere else. Therapy doesn’t need to be done where the victims are.

hello 👋 i have developed a new tool called blüuümpíi. blüuümpíi will convert every file on your hard drive to a .wav file without asking you, maximize your system volume, and play them on every bluetooth speaker you have ever connected to. if you offer feedback on blüuümpíi i will take legal action

It is a much more messy and horrible and wonderful story than just 'it was horrible in Europe so Israel was created in Palestine.' The narrowing of the intellectual horizon, of what is possible, has always been a violent endeavor. Resist it. Reject it. No change is possible otherwise.

I don’t love being in a society where you can sell enough pillows to do meaningful damage to democracy or sell enough children’s books to do a genocide or sell enough chicken sandwiches to abolish gay marriage That all seems like a ridiculous way to do society to me

"Even individuals who did not become seriously ill with COVID-19 may have developed a weakened immune system that could lead to serious illnesses in the future." www.news-medical.net/news/2026031...

Still always this: “The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.” James Baldwin

Women and girls should be safe in movement work. Holding gratitude and grief for Dolores Huerta’s dedication and bravery. Wishing she didn’t have to be so goddamned committed and brave.

It is the anniversary of the My Lai massacre today. I'd say that even more than most years, it's important to remember what happened. And the role Hugh Thompson, an active serviceman, played in both stopping and publicising it. Despite enormous military, political and public pressure to stay quiet.

ALSO pre-orders help me win a bet with @kbspangler.com, resulting in her reconsidering every single one of a wide variety of life choices when she has to bring in goats to mow her orderly and immaculately landscaped yard.

this is a lie they have not made a tube that can hold me

UK podcasts: “Why is Labour lurching to the right? We’ll ask a TERF. But first, an advert for Shopify”

The tech bros aren’t “saying the quiet part out loud” just now. They were saying it with the demographics of their teams. They were screaming it with the demographics of leadership. They were clear when they fired people for pointing out the harms of language models trained on sexist, racist data.

Why Do Some People Still Wear Masks In 2026 And On A Completely Unrelated Note Why Is Everyone In The Office Sick Right Now Apart From The Guy In The Mask?

I was in Tehran this time last year. I want you to see how beautiful my city is. I want you to see the city the US/Israel is trying to wipe off the face of the earth

The internet, on scientists: They're secretive gatekeepers, they hoard esoterica/the truth, they don't want anyone in their ivory tower little clubs Actual scientists: LOOK, WE FOUND A 300 MILLION YEAR OLD FOSSILIZED CLOACCAL IMPRESSION AND THE VENT IS HORIZONTAL! PLZ READ MY 67-PAGE PAPER ABOUT IT

It’s already happening. Iran attacked a desalination plant in Bahrain. This war has to end immediately. If it turns into a water war we will be dealing with a whole different level of a humanitarian catastrophe across the region. aje.news/64yl8m?updat...

My only problem with @fractalecho.bsky.social's book is that now I have to figure out a different book to write. But while i sort that out, i can make everybody go read Rua's book. S go read it 😃

I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life. I'm serious, read it all please

For anyone who would like the clip (including George).

I’m picturing Wadephul dragging Merz away from the podium, one hand clapped over his mouth, whispering “shut up, Friedrich”

What is there more to say beyond rage. They want to "evacuate" one of the densest suburbs of Beirut and have a quarter of a million+ people just move elsewhere and accept the fate of the destruction of their homes or worse the loss of their life. Fucking nightmare.

In the midst of the geopolitical horror, I've been doing some processing around the most recent wave of Epstein files. While there's been no single presidency-destroying bombshell (could Trump even be destroyed that way?), there's a pattern of impunity and willful ignorance that's hard to accept.

half of all tech news lately is some variation of "the computer company has discontinued their well known product, the computer"

It is better to be in a military prison than to kill kids. It is better to be a deserter than to kill kids. It is better to take any legal route to get out of your contract and leave the benefits behind than to kill kids.
