Alaa Salim, @mamafriend.bsky.social has been a thoughtful and incisive commentator on her situation in Gaza. Suspending an important Palestinian voice that people look to for moral clarity on what is happening to her people weakens this community. #RestoreAlaa @bsky.app @moderation.bsky.app

Tip for guys who don’t want to be creeps, *especially* with acquaintances or strangers: complimenting choices, rather than attributes, comes off as much more sincere and normal! 😬 “you have beautiful eyes” ✅ “that smokey eye is awesome!” 🤢 anything about body parts ✅ “that is a really cute dress!”

The utility of the internet was immediately apparent. Free global communication at a time when long-distance phone calls were charged by the minute and faxes were the only way to send documents quickly? That was adopted at record speed. But "AI" is a solution in search of a problem.
Whenever someone gets mad at me for questioning the net usefulness of AI and says something like “you’re like the people who didn’t want to use the internet”—with love, I was born in 1997, and my life growing up online is all the evidence I need that we should handle AI differently than we are now

IT DID NOT ADMIT ANYTHING. IT IS A COMPUTER PROGRAM THAT CHAINS WORDS TOGETHER WITH A FACSIMILE OF CONTEXT. STOP SAYING THIS SHIT

Please… for the love of god, just stop reading Harry Potter. There are other god damn fantasy series out there, and ones that don’t give money and attention to a person helping to directly harm trans people.

im always taken aback by just how much cis people will humiliate themselves to be dicks to trans people. like sorry, youre confused about pronouns? how did you make it thru 6th grade english you slimy dipshit? why are you going on podcasts to advertise youre too stupid to understand simple concepts?

“More than 670 Palestinians have been killed since May near sites built under a new Israel-backed aid system.” and yet people are still demanding US politicians enthusiastically support this regime. fuck that.
Israeli soldiers opened fire near a food distribution site in southern Gaza on Saturday, killing at least 32 people, Gazan health authorities said. The UN said this past week that more than 670 Palestinians had been killed in similar episodes near aid sites.

imagine if political journalists showed the same solidarity for their illegally imprisoned colleagues that jake tapper showed for fox news when obama tried to move their seat in the briefing room to the second row
“I’m plainly convinced that my situation in this ICE jail is direct retaliation for my coverage,” Mario Guevara told @ajc.com in an exclusive interview from the Folkston, Georgia ICE detention center where he is currently detained, despite a judge's bail order. “I haven’t committed any crimes.”

Marco Rubio is really one of the most contemptible people in the administration bc he doesn't even seem like a true believer, he's just a power-hungry, unprincipled piece of shit happy to be cruel if cruelty is what gets you proximity to power
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio issues visa revocations for Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, his "allies on the court" and their immediate families in bid to protect indicted former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is accused of an attempted coup d'etat.

"free" in that he's back in the country he was seeking asylum from. It's still very shitty.
Andry Hernández Romero, the innocent make-up artist imprisoned without trial for 4 months in El Salvador by the Trump admin, is FREE. He was wrongfully accused of being a gang member because of his “mom” and “dad” tattoos, and illegally sent to El Salvador without due process.

One of the most bonkers responses to survivors who disclose that they’ve been assaulted is, “Well, he hasn’t done that to me!” Like, okay. Congratulations?
The stranger danger panic has convinced a whole lot of people that rapists are never people you know. And they interpret that to mean that, if they know someone—personally or parasocially—that they must be innocent. No matter how many victims come forward.

A reminder that after years of speaking out against Epstein and giving other survivors the courage to come forward, Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41. Let's not forget that there are real human tragedies behind everything we're discussing.
