no, nobody has to accept a reduction in their human rights. they do not. do y’all hear yourselves

Gov. Walz: “I’m just going to say it, shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus for thinking they’re going to get elected.” www.startribune.com/gov-tim-walz...

Natasha Lyonne: hey guys so david lynch couldn't be here tonight so he wanted me to tell you all that he thinks AI generated art is the future King: Barker: Poe: Koontz: Lovecraft: King: really? david lynch said that? Poe: steve

Some of the most chilling 2 minutes you've ever seen. Look at what's being said, openly, on one of the most popular TV channels in Israel. History is happening in front of our eyes. Don't look away. Please help share this widely. Read the full story here: zeteo.com/p/inside-the...

Gonna burn some bridges and talk about Unbound, since it's unlikely that they'll sue me at this point. They seem to have spent money that was supposed to go towards royalty payments, expecting money to come in, which then didn't bsky.app/profile/laur... (thread) #unboundless

Again, I cannot express how little I expected someone would usurp my position as "guy who takes ketamine in the company of a president".

He’s right and he should say it

As the Covid Inquiry Test, Trace, and Isolate Module comes to a close today, here is a look at some of the shocking evidence we have heard so far. A Thread 🧵 1/12

*Grinding teeth* It is more expensive to not spend the money to act to reduce carbon emissions than it is to try to save it.

So when we hear people in Ireland saying our climate targets were too ambitious anyway, keep this in mind. We are not pulling our weight at EU level. #SpeirGorm #ClimateAction

Ten years ago nobody in their right mind gave a single crap where trans people went to the toilet and the only reason anyone does now is because they were radicalised by Facebook and a handful of insane newspaper columnists and that’s just embarrassing all round

A lot of them have become the same as the people who caused them to found Israel in the first place

'In what world does a member of government declare that it intends to wipe out what remains of an area and aims, “with God’s help”, to remove its inhabitants, only for the response be nothing more than vague threats of “concrete action"?' @nesrinemalik.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

hey did you know that Bismarck was the one who nicked Alsace Lorraine from France back in the 19th century that's why historians call him............Grand Theft Otto

A new law should introduce a maximum workplace temperature to protect staff from extreme heat, new research demands. A report by Autonomy Institute says two-thirds of UK work force could find themselves working in heat waves above 35C by end of the decade www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

***LEGALLY BLONDE LIVE-TWEET: THE RULES*** This lecture explores the cinematic classic 'Legally Blonde' through the lens of English and Welsh law. Contributions and observations are welcome, but I'm perfectly prepared to tweet the entire film to a wall of embarrassed silence.

My plans for a major retail emporium are being threatend by wholesalers who won't let me steal the stock.

World leaders can make as many statements as they like opposing Israel's actions in Gaza. Until they end the sale of weapons to Israel, they remain complicit in the mass murder of Palestinians. Stop arming genocide, now.

I don't just want to abolish borders, I want to abolish the very concept of citizenship. Rights are rights, they're supposed to be universal and inalienable, not just for those bestowed with "citizenship".

We are sick of our government's inaction and this state's deepening complicity with apartheid Israel's genocide of Palestinians, long past time for sanctions #GazaGenocide #FreePalestine Large pro-Palestine march takes place through Dublin city centre www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2025...

The new Neil Halloran documentary on Smallpox has completely changed how I see the RFK Jr. version of the world. Neil (softly) argues that realizing that disease isn't the fault of the sick /or/ the fault of the Gods ushered in a new future where we felt the authority to care for each other.

If you're in the UK and you're annoyed that you don't know which AI companies are training on your copyrighted work without permission, the reason is now simple: the Labour party. This isn't a political statement - it's a fact. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

so the members of congress just stopped going to el salvador and not a single person who was illegally sent there has been returned and that’s just how it is now?

I feel like every story about Healy-Rae trying to loosen forestry regulations should begin with the reminder that he owns 42 acres of forestry.

While people who swim in rivers and seas get E.Coli from sewage the Thames Water bosses are awarding themselves bonuses from their emergency loan

After due consideration, having weighed up the relevant evidence, assessed the balance of arguments and gamed the likely implications, I have reached the conclusion that Keir Starmer can fuck off from a great height.

All of our tables were named after scientists and authors and you had to solve a riddle to work out which your table was! (The answer was on the back of the table number, in case we misjudged the difficulty)

You won't find an emptier suit outside of a department store. Hard to think of a major world leader this devoid of conviction and courage. Never really seen anything like it. It's like they discovered a new political quality called antileadership or something.

This is bullshit. You can say there are costs, you can even claim the costs outweigh the benefits. But to say that immigration has caused incalculable damage is not just hugely offensive to millions of people and their families, but simply empirically demonstrably wrong

This.

I haven't seen the same outpouring of support for Rodney Hinton, Jr. that we saw for Luigi Mangione. GoFundMe took down the fundraiser for Hinton, who is accused of killing an officer shortly after he watched bodycam footage of police killing his 18-year-old son.

Crucial context for these people's plan for the future: every single bit of it is impossible nonsense, except the part where we all die. We actually need massive course corrections to keep sustaining human life as we know it, and all the "innovators" who could be working on that are against it.

it's published! finally! in this week's newsletter: my attempt to go through every single reason why I both dislike and distrust generative AI: youngvulgarian.substack.com/p/11-things-... [free to read!]

I think we should have 0 sympathy for the people who foisted this technology onto us but we should give some grace to people who are relying on what they have been told to be a miracle technology. I think we’ll hear more stories like this as people eventually realize it’s not good for them

I agree with this whole thread — it’s just factually true! — and it also highlights a bigger truth: however much you think you hate the planning system, they are the last bastion of state regulation against *property developers*. Why does the left suddenly like *property developers*????
