Petition: Legally enshrine the right of adults to physically transition using NHS services. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/704793 #TransRights #UKPol

Bluesky didn't reach a federated stage where you could choose a service provider in a free country before they started to censor people based on authoritarian demands.

As the Trump regime makes exception after exception for certain companies and industries in its insane tariff system, it will be essential to follow the money. Corruption is a given when it comes to Dear Leader and his people. Hope journalists and local prosecutors will do their jobs...

No, the United State government is not going to accidentally deport a U.S. citizen. The U.S. government is going to “accidentally” deport a U.S. citizen.

I don't think I'll ever get over the attribution of "elevated sense of justice" as a "symptom" of autism. My sibling in science. This is not what you discovered. What you discovered is that "willingness to cheat when nobody is watching" or (perhaps, even) "virtue signaling" are symptoms of […]

Got to get my cataracts fixed before Trump defaults on T-bonds, the dollar crashes and takes down the City of London, and the UK stops having an NHS because we're broke too. It's going to be the 1930s all over again, only with nuclear weapons and climate change on top.

Remember the "mysterious" hepatitis outbreak in UK kids that baffled experts back in 2022? The one we were told was due to adenovirus (or even strawberries, allergies, and lockdowns)? The one that labeled ppl mentioning the C word as fearmongerers? Turns out it was #covid19 .

The Chaos Computer Club, Europe‘s largest community of #hackers, has released a declaration on what is incompatible with the club’s values: “Those who aim to destroy coexistence in society and work toward an alternative society with principles based on chauvinism and nationalism are working […]

"Introducing Linux as a "Unix-like" operating system in 2025 is like describing modern cars as "horseless carriage-like""

URGENT: NC Voters! Don’t let Republicans erase your vote! Yesterday a NC court ruled that 60,273 voters from last year’s State Supreme Court election have 15 business days to fix their registration and make sure their vote is counted. One of those voters […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

“Last month I was just worried about my classes. Now I’m worried that I’ll simply disappear.” - From email from a talented student whose visa was just summarily cancelled because she’s from the wrong country. God damn this.

The day the US died. A message to America, from Europe. Performed by Charlie Baker for the Last Leg comedy show. Brilliant

today's MS teams result: it's both telling me that I need to provide access to the microphone before it'll let me unmute ... and it's telling me that I should unmute because it sounds like I'm talking. At the same time.

I'm in bed and quite drunk, so forgive me, but I gave a conference talk today in which I very gently kicked the ankle of Big AI, and several industry famous people came and I nearly shat myself with nerves. I think it will be a high point in retrospect, but blimey.

Hello everyone – as much as this may seem like an April fools joke, it is not: I am now presenting to you a project I've been working on for the past weeks called “**Betrayed By Trump** ”. :blobcatnotlike: https://www.betrayedbytrump.com/ This is a place for Republicans (_only_) to share their […]

Today in American science is fucked news:

The Justice Department proposes merging the ATF snd DEA: “We want everyone to know that we are DTF.” https://wapo.st/3QS4DME

One other thing about the Signal debacle: The reference in the thread to a document being sent "in your high-side email" demonstrates that these people had access to classified systems and were able to use them. They were not using Signal because they lacked available alternatives. Signal is […]

December 2023: US District Attorney Jessica Aber indicts 4 Russians for war crimes in #Ukraine November 2024: Aber accuses Virginia based companies of running "three different schemes to illegally transship sensitive American technology to Russia," […] [Original post on universeodon.com]

an ominous I-am-under-NDA-coded warning to immediately uninstall atop has been posted by a reputable tech blogger. https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2025/03/25/atop/

Protip: if someone posts a technical or legal analysis of something the administration is doing or proposing and your response is that legalities are irrelevant and a waste of time, the problem is YOU. You know who wants you to think laws don’t matter anymore and that pushback is hopeless? […]

[uspol] they WHAT?! https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2025/03/trump-administration-accidentally-texted-me-its-war-plans/682151/

Breaking: Moving forward, instead of using Signal to chat about sensitive military operations the Pentagon will use Twitter DMs.

There is absolutely no way Greenland should let in a representative of an overtly hostile nation, in fact the wife of someone explicitly threatening to “take” it. Turn her plane back.

the terminal: cast of characters

Dutch researchers get questionnaires from the US government about political views – if you are a European scientist who has received such a letter, please DM me […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Nuff said

This is what autocracy looks like: US Senator Jeff Merkley asks Trump's pick for ambassador to Canada, if he believes in freedom of speech. He does. Merkley then asks if people inside Canada should be able to disagree with the president of Canada. He agrees. Merkley then asks if people […]
