The genital inspectors are going to bully every organisation that doesn't outright ban trans women, that's what Moldemort's fund is going to be used for. They'll set their followers on them first, if that doesn't work then the legal threats will follow But no-one has lost any rights apparently

Great news. Love it ! As a french person, Sephora was dearly missed

Quite apart from the fact that 2 hours minus 2 minutes is not 58 minutes: These people are fucking idiots. The point of reading, or any other form of intellectual enquiry, is that you don't always know what is interesting until you start looking. Acquiring knowledge is not an engineering problem.

Elon Musk is a powerful and dangerous menace. Don't fall for his 'spat' with Trump or his PR tour that the media is lapping up. More people are discovering the ease and effectiveness of mass protest and boycotts. Join a #TeslaTakedown protest, or create one in your town at Teslatakedown.com! 👊

Let's talk about the real climate killer: libraries! Good thing is, they'll all be gone soon to make space for more data centers. Problem solved!

Defending women from making their own decisions about their own bodies.

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

According to this flat-out terrifying article, 500 million people are using ChatGPT. And it’s in schools now. This is so dangerous, and governments are miles behind on any kind of meaningful regulation. In fact, most of them seem to be in thrall to it.

The thing is- I don’t think America knows what’s coming. Most Americans don’t have the imagination for it and they don’t have the lived-experience. Timothy Snyder studies it. I’ve seen it too. Rights and freedoms once lost are almost impossible to regain.

lmao get her

We warned you it wouldn't stop at us

When White Wingers ask you about the “illegal LA riots” just tell them the government faked them just like the moon landing. It will break their almond-sized brains.

don't worry about the fact our half-cooked bullshit machines are causing tech giants to discard their already flimsy climate goals, nonexistent sentient superintelligence will solve the problem before we destroy the planet

This is how. Greta Thunberg spits fire and gives you the only media training you may ever need.

Glad it is the tweets that went too far, not him!

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Genuinely impressed by greta. Using her status as leverage, knowing too well this was going to happen and her presence makes it that bit harder for reporters to erase what is happening in Gaza under IDF - she’s placed herself into danger to ensure all eyes on Madleen

How on earth can this country still hold the World Cup and Olympics next year??

Around a thousand people marched in the Pride parade today at Radcliffe Square. Oxford Pride said "We are witnessing a disturbing rollback in LGBTQIA+ rights, and trans people are bearing the brunt. This year, we stand with our trans community. We protest. We remember why Pride began."

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

If a Muslim in the US publicly called for a missile strike on a famous celebrity activist onboard a civilian ship or plane, the FBI would be investigating them for terrorism. But a rich white guy gets to incite violence without any consequences 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

I wish sometimes that parties would want my vote. It must feel nice to see all parties trying to get your favours by telling you what you want to hear. Back in my day it was shameful to be racist etc, nowadays it is toxic / shameful to be openly left wing. #rant

So much recent media coverage has focused on how Musk is leaving the WH & politics, how he disapproves of Trump's bill, etc. Such conflict is irresistible for mainstream news. But the story we should be hearing is how Musk has caused tremendous lasting damage. And for that he must never be forgiven.

It’s the happiest day of Elon Musk’s life because he finally posted something people actually want to read

“Females are too emotional to be in leadership” they say as the richest man in the world and the president of the United States cry tweet in an online beef

I'm sorry, as much as I am enjoying this spat, how can you take seriously someone who spent 100s of millions of dollars electing Trump, then went to work for Trump, left government just days ago praising Trump, and is now calling for Trump's impeachment. Just unserious people.

I can’t believe Trump and Musk have had a falling out. Who could have predicted this?* (*Me. And many others.)

Happy Musk vs Trump day for all those celebrating.

But they told us he was a genius when he was giving them money www.axios.com/2025/06/04/e...

Cool and good stuff here, as usual, from Dr. Lorenz MD PhD

“Women are at risk of being dragged back to the dark ages by precisely the same technology that promises to catapult men into a shiny new future.”

This man, who has human rights lawyer in his Twitter biog!, is hoping that Israel attacks the flotilla & hurts (kills?) my Zeteo colleague, & legendary activist, Greta Thunberg. To call this tweet disgusting & violent would be an understatement. But they keep telling on themselves:

Decent politicians need to push back against Farage's comments on Lucy Connelly. "millions of mothers after Southport feeling exactly the same way"? No. Millions did NOT feel the need to call for mass murder of asylum seekers & we simply cannot allow the idea to be normalised.

A researcher calculates that, without increased production, AI will consume up to 82 terrawatt-hours of electricity this year—around the same as the annual electricity consumption of Switzerland.

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people. There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.

"Unless we fill the magic box with Elton John songs it won't be able to diagnose cancer." The AI "industry"doesn't need anything produced by the creative industry. All the potential applications of AI are ones that utilise databases of facts.

Read the transcript of the brilliant ⁦‪⁦‪Mishal Husain’s‬⁩ interview with Elon Musk & see just how annoyed he gets at very simple & basic questions & how he childishly lashes out, & also ask yourself why US media interviewers can’t do interviews like this.

Russia has launched a massive air attack on Kyiv, which is ongoing right now. So much for peace talks.

"John has been 'on the ground' in Gaza? Yeah, as an embed.... Yeah as guests of the Israeli military... And you've come back and done exactly what they wanted. You've done their propaganda for them." Me vs Netanyahu ally and supporter John Spencer. Full debate: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUjT...

Binging the show #FamiliesLikeOurs, very good but depressing 😞

“Starmer's EU deal is a big break in the suffocating Brexit consensus that has held Britain back for a decade. For the first time a UK government is doing things to actually undo the damage of Brexit, rather than increase it. For that alone it should be welcomed” 👏 bylinetimes.com/2025/05/19/k...

Intersectional feminists know that trans people are just a wedge issue for the patriarchal forces trying to push back abortion rights, gay rights, assisted dying and the emancipation of women and people of colour. We stand together or fall apart. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...
