Flock decided not to use hacked data in its people search tool after we published our story www.404media.co/flock-decide...

Could it possibly be that it has only been men who have tried to explain this to me and I am simply reporting on realities of my experience on social media? No of course I obviously just hate men

🔴NEW:The dark money behind UK's anti-abortion backlash - Key US anti‑abortion lawyer funding Toby Young’s Free Speech Union - Alliance Defending Freedom’s UK spending soars Warnings of “obvious danger” of “importing America's toxic far right politics” democracyforsale.substack.com/p/us-antiabo...

here’s what They won’t tell you: get a leather holster for a Desert Eagle but keep half an Italian combo in there. You find yourself wanting half an Italian combo way more often than you want a gun. And many times that you think you want a gun, you really need half an Italian combo.

Just to confirm that this was in my contract as well with Unbound (para 16 in mine) as I checked earlier. And I absolutely do intend to use it to tell Boundless to fuck right off and give me my rights back. The tiniest bit of sympathy they had from me is well gone.

If this is even remotely accurate, Elon Musk and Donald Trump have killed more people in several months than the Iraq war killed in a decade

How could 2 craft breweries (New Belgium and Bell's) put out more beer than 9 craft breweries backed by the biggest multinational macrobrewer in the world? In my column this week at @vinepair.com, I laid out why this was a long time coming for Anheuser-Busch—and why Molson Coors is next.

BRITAIN'S WOKEST ROUNDABOUT

It transpires that the coked-up dickhead who mowed down all those people in Water St the other day is white, middle-class, and has a nice big house. The media: (and the victim-blaming is starting too, obvs)

Today’s moment of zen.

"Some references include 'oaicite' attached to URLs — a definitive sign that the research was collected using artificial intelligence. The presence of 'oaicite' is a marker indicating use of OpenAI, a U.S. artificial intelligence company."

It's possible she may be guilty of this crime, but it's unreasonable for her to pay too high a price for 20 seconds of action. Think of her future! Girls will be girls.

Women’s health issues remain underreported, underrepresented, and under-prioritised—despite making up half the global population. 🎥 In a new video, experts and Lancet Editors advocate for equitable healthcare to transform women’s health: tinyurl.com/22fkf865

private equity taking over and immediately creating Discorb, the real life texting micro transaction that everyone will hate, is a little too on the nose

Remarkable fact on UK elections in the modern era from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Whither the internet of things?

Once again, it's not "doxxing" to report the name of a government employee.

"Yes, Cuomo is awful, but I have some policy differences with the progressives, so this is hard." This is not hard. What you do is, you set aside your precious little checklist, and YOU DON'T VOTE FOR THE AWFUL PERSON.

Absolutely surreal to have lived through the Napster days and watched as the titans of industry moved hell and high water to lock down any possible chance that someone's song might get swapped online without giving the studios a cut and now those same people are just like "well we gotta steal music"

Never make the mistake of thinking the BBC doesn't talk out of its arse when it comes to energy infrastructure and climate change. It's as bad as the rest of UK mainstream media.

I don't usually post on r/askhistorians, but this is my research area, so I have tried by best, may the moderators have mercy on my answer. www.reddit.com/r/AskHistori...

The GOP has passed a Murder Bill and Dems need to start calling it that.

That an unelected advisor does not want to "appease" elected MPs speaks volumes for the way party strategists think about Parliament. MPs are there to represent the concerns of their constituents. Govts that stop listening to MPs - like Thatcher on the poll tax or Blair on Iraq - usually regret it

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop. “If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???” Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is unnecessary or a luxury, survive a month without it.

Was talking about this with some folks. It’s been 10 days now, there’s been an uptick in booking last week but now it’s back to the pre-deal lows; most folks I talk to think that was just stuff sitting in a warehouse getting shoved on a boat, we’re not seeing any signs of new movement

Tariff Otaku prepares to lick the hot stove again.

I've never seen it so well put before.

Am I crazy or did we just have a convo about how we can't fund cancer research?
