But who? I won't begrudge anyone who writes for zombie Polygon, but I know there's no way they're paying a fair wage after laying off every single writer there. You can see our pay in the union contract. When offers/rates start going out, compare it there. www.wgaeast.org/wp-content/u...

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen something so simultaneously absurd and disturbing: the House will vote Monday on a bill that would punish Americans for participating in boycotts of Israel with fines of up to $1 MILLION or prison terms up to TWENTY YEARS.

Almost all pediatric influenza deaths occur in unvaccinated children. In 2020-2021 only 1 child died from flu in this country because of pandemic mitigation measures, like masking and remote schooling. You don’t hear people complain about hundreds of dead kids as much as they do about those things.

Keep in mind. Trump isn’t giving all these ICE Agents directions individually. They are choosing to do this. Stealing money. Making girls stand in the rain in their underwear. That’s their choice. Because people who chose to be ICE Agents chose it for pain it causes.

The thing with Pedro Pascal is he not only gives a fuck; he knows he's huge enough to spend all day trashing bigots safely because entire franchises are built around him atm. He's no dispensable Gina Carano-tier secondary guy. This also underlines how most famous artists as big as him are cowards.

When we call for politicians to "do something," this is what we mean. Not speeches or op-eds or campaign rallies, but using every tool available to disrupt the advance of fascism.

People sometimes ask "what are the crimes" and let me tell y'all, as a lawyer, that intentionally copying, altering, destroying, or disrupting government computer systems is super-duper illegal if you don't have a spotless paper trail authorizing it, which none of these DOGE people do.

The entire transcript of Time's interview with Trump is insane. Just to pick one moment: Trump says Biden would never do an interview with Time, then when told that he had asks how it went, then when told he can read it himself says that he had read it and it didn't go well time.com/7280114/dona...

“Durbin, who has been in Congress since 1983 and today enjoys the powerful role of Minority Whip, by relinquishing power is demonstrating the most decisive act of leadership of any Democrat since Donald Trump was elected.” Following George Washington’s example is still important, let us not forget.

It's a high bar, but this from @radleybalko.bsky.social might be one of the most fucked up things I've read in the new Trump era. For context, this TX lawyer had just had an informal conversation with a family caught up in ICE raids. Seriously. Read this. radleybalko.substack.com/p/the-courag...

participating in an organized boycott – not a haphazard, individual one – of a company as large as microsoft will always pose complex questions on a long enough timescale. but skipping the oblivion remaster weeks after bds declared microsoft a priority target? easy. a complete no brainer

To achieve legal and/or medical transition in the UK, people are REQUIRED to live IN PUBLIC in their preferred gender, FOR A PERIOD OF YEARS. Or they will be refused support. CAN YOU UNDERSTAND that doing that is being made ILLEGAL? CAN YOU UNDERSTAND that it's making BEING TRANS illegal?

There isn't a story on the BBC News site about today's trans rights rally at Parliament Square where it's estimated 20k attended. But they did have a story last week about the Let Women Speak transphobe rally in Bristol where 100 people attended.

Bringing in the mother of a woman killed by someone from El Salvador to suggest the criminality of someone with whom that murderer shared nothing except also being Salvadoran is giving up the game in a way I wish had gotten more attention. It is also fucking gross.

if you change the name on a CV from a man to a woman's name, recruiters immediately rate it as 18% less competent. they don't stop to check gametes/wombs. pretending all sexism is rooted in a particular biology leaves us with no way to talk about systemic bias against female intellect & ambition.

El Salvador is a contractor providing the United States with a paid service. The idea that we couldn’t get anyone they’re holding back with the snap of a finger just by asking is so ludicrous on its face, it seems less like a real excuse and more like a test of how much shit the courts will eat.

Stop using AI. Yes, even just for fun. AI is built on STOLEN images and text. That’s right: by using it, you’re stealing from your friends. There is NOT ethical generative AI. Bonus bullshit: it is HORRENOUS for the environment. (Yes, even the cutesy profile photo cartoon things.)
