Ok Bluesky, help out with the sort of thing only socials can help with. When I was a kid I saw a music video on mtv, I have never seen it again, all I remember was it was by a guy called Jesus Jones, the vid has him walking through streets and random words appear on the screen. Any idea what song?

Important context to the Supreme Court ruling is that Tennessee only has one gender clinic for kids and it performs 5 top surgeries per year. This entire "debate" is about a phenomenon — large numbers of kids being rushed into hormones and surgeries — that doesn't exist. apnews.com/article/heal...

The billionaire Palantir CEO —the company building a database to track Americans, and helping ICE abduct immigrants, who proudly admits that his company kills people… … is a Big Money Andrew Cuomo donor. You won’t be an opposition leader when you’re owned by the opposition.

Australians: your regular reminder that privatised water companies in the UK have filled rivers & beaches with actual shit, busted the infastructure, sent profits overseas, given million-dollar bonuses to their bosses, now in £20 billion debt & demanding immunity from rules & fines forever.

Yesterday, more than 60 people were killed again while collecting humanitarian aid in Gaza. Israel disregards even the most basic international laws.

‼️URGENT | 74 martyred since dawn. Most were killed while waiting for flour. For aid. In southern Gaza. ‼️They stood in line for bread and were shot dead. This is not war. This is a calculated famine. A slaughter of the hungry. Israel starves us. Then shoots us when we reach for help. And the world?

If a pregnant woman is brain dead, in a coma, and no longer has rights to make decisions about the pregnancy according to E. Bruenig, that means we don’t have a say in what happens to our organs and corpses after we die. We are public property upon death. Quite an argument!

The regime has posted signs at Manzanar, the WWII concentration camp for Japanese Americans, asking visitors to report "negative" historical interpretations. Hard to imagine a positive interpretation but it's probably just an excuse to shut down the park. www.sfgate.com/california-p...

'The artificial intelligence boom means the Environment Agency has no idea how much water England will be short of in future decades, as datacentres do not have to report how much they are using to cool their servers.' Maybe the policy of 'turbocharging' AI everywhere & all the time needs thought?

This is EXACTLY why the US Christo-fascist right-wing poured so much money into funding ‘gender critical’ transphobic litigation in the UK - to legitimate transphobia-tainted rulings and so they can then export the trans-hostile judgements to use back in US States! 😣 It’s Laundering transphobia! 😖
