Listen to disabled people. Learn from history. Understand that eugenicists (and fascists) want to rid the world of disabled people. When you make fun of us, when you make spaces less safe for us, you’re doing their dirty work for them

After years of neglect, Labour announce a record investment of £2.65bn to build new flood defence and maintain existing ones. Over 1000 projects will be helped, protecting 66,000 homes from flooding. It won't fix everything over night, but it's a step in the right direction to undo Tory damage.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

One of the scariest things about the situation in the U.S. is seeing MAGA crowd double down on how “awesome” this is. They believe Elon is saving them and their money, and when anyone tries to explain what is actually happening, they yell “woke mind virus” & shut down. Frog in boiling water

“We’ve all been there, you think you’re doing everything ‘right’ only to end up in a wicked flare that derails your progress. The worst part? You have NO idea what caused it” This article was originally for my series on MCAS, but given many of us are flaring due to state of the world, I’m reposting

Look, I quote posted this earlier, and I am not dragging OP, but it’s really important, if anyone is going to survive the deepening of the onslaught, to understand the US is an explicitly eugenicist country. I have seen a staggering naïveté about this, and a complicity. Short 🧵

Holy SHIT. Okay, this needs an "in mice" caveat, but the tactic they took means it's less of a caveat than usual and also HOLY FUCKING SHIT

Calling this AI like Gemini is like calling a horse a giraffe cos they're both ungulates. Scientific machine learning is useful & supports the workers in their jobs. Chatgpt, Gemini, Midjourney, StableDiffusion et al do not help the worker. They replace them. And those people lose their livelihoods

Trump is capitalism in human form, stripped of its disguises. The violent seizure of other people's resources, the exploitation of other people's catastrophes, the predatory gleam in the psychopath's eye. #Gaza #Genocide

“Apple Inc. has been secretly working with SpaceX & T-Mobile US to add support for Starlink network in its latest iPhone software, providing an alternative to the company’s in-house satellite-communication service” Perhaps it was done in secret because users don’t want Musk’s tech on our phones?

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

It’s still not too late to put on a mask. Ideally an N95 or equivalent. Ignoring the severity of COVID, embracing eugenics & anti science rhetoric, platforming minimizers etc… it all led us here. Everyone complaining about egg prices but no one willing to address bird flu.
