Oh dear. Why ruin your marketing with AI slop Marvel? How many can you spot... 1. That's not how you use a camera. 2. Hands have 5 fingers (before anyone says, no evidence of amputation etc.) 3. Various hands in the air looking like they should be holding flags, but aren't. 5. Clones in the crowd

Alan Turing, one of the UK's most famous humanists, helped the Allies win WWII, but was persecuted for being gay and chemically castrated. He was found dead at home on 8 June 1954. The inquest ruled suicide by cyanide; a half-eaten apple lay nearby. #LGBTHM25 heritage.humanists.uk/alan-turing

For those keeping count at home, Meta lets folks incite gender-based hate in the name of free speech, but if one of its employees dares to tell the truth about what its CEO says then there is zero tolerance.

Damn right. Trump is notorious for not paying and breaking contracts. They want you gone for a reason, exercise some good old civil disobedience and stay. Oh, and join a union.

@swiftonsecurity.com I crashed an ATM today by requesting a mini statement when it was out of paper. Thought you'd be amused to know that it informed me "Windows 7 is shutting down". Can always rely on your bank for some cutting edge security 🤣

Last year, I wrote about a trans guy who got beaten by a deputy outside a 7/11. Last week - out of the blue - the deputy agreed to plead guilty to a federal felony. But the really crazy thing is how many other deputies he now says were involved in the cover-up. www.latimes.com/california/s...
