yyyyyep, NINETY-SEVEN PERCENT of gender-affirming surgeries for minors are cis boys with gynecomastia full details in my essay on TRANS KIDS 1: FACTS AND DANGERS, which you can find here 👇 www.tillystranstuesdays.com/2024/08/09/t...

WE HAD THE WHOLE PLANET DOING OPERATION PAPERCLIP ON THEMSELVES! FOR FREE! NOT EVEN FOR FREE, WE MADE THEM PAY US TO DO IT! “THANK YOU FOR STEALING OUR BEST CHILDREN, AMERICA”, THEY WERE SAYING, “CAN WE ALSO GIVE YOU MILLIONS OF DOLLARS BESIDES”! YOU! STUPID! BITCH!

My version:

well def one of those posts that's inadvertantly revealing about the person posting it!

A wee group of angry balaclava and mask-wearing anti-immigration guys tried to stop the good people of Glasgow showing solidarity with migrants and standing up to racism and fascism. Well, the far right are far outnumbered... #RefugeesWelcome #MigrantsWelcome #NeighboursNotStrangers #Glasgow

Politicians who fanned these flames should hang their heads in shame. Time and again we've seen this story play out. Single incidents used to fuel a far right narrative - and communities across the nation paying the price.

Sometimes on campus you accidentally walk by a Business class and the professor is writing like "profit = revenue - costs" on the board and everyone is taking notes like its actual school

In 2010, a blog like Stuff White People Like or a twitter account like shitmydadsays could land their creator a book deal or a TV show. In 2026, social media creators are writing and directing short films and playing every role - to this standard - and there's another one right after in the feed.

Every time I see someone talk about Claude I think about how they switched from female to male names as soon as they wanted the robots to seem like experts vs personal assistants.

Ravens are so smart 🐦‍⬛

The Trojan horse but instead of a big wooden horse it’s a guy and instead of soldiers he’s filled with really dumb bad ideas

Love how we had this series of extremely contentious and contemptuous interactions with this website's higher ups where they pretty much told us to our face "Yeah we're using Al to code, you fucking peasant. Deal with it." immediately followed by a good month of very frequent outages on the website.

21st century political violence in the US doesn't really come from the left. It comes almost entirely from one of two places: 1. The far right. 2. Neurotic weirdos overwhelmed by pain and chaos with unmappable political opinions.

A defeat like this will change European politics. A few thoughts. 1. Running vs. EU has costs - publics aren't anti-EU and EU can hold back funding. Being an obstructionist jerk in Brussels has tangible political downsides. This strengthens the leverage of the EU and deters obstructionists. 1/

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

this is the coolest little device I've ever bought, I love it so much

One of the first women to come forward about Epstein was trans and no one believed her

I feel like someone with far more moral authority than me needs to say this, over and over: Trump entrusted the fate of the country, the world economy, and thousands of service members, to his wildly conflicted son-in-law and developer buddy, who reportedly didn't know fuckall that they were hearing

MAGA injecting government surveillance into their phones. “I Decompiled the White House's New App The official White House Android app has a cookie/paywall bypass injector, 🚨 tracks your GPS every 4.5 minutes 🚨 and loads JavaScript from some guy's GitHub Pages.”

9 As I begin to travel the country to talk up The Overseer Class, I cannot help but comment on how the multiracial makeup of ICE—overwhelmingly majority non-white in my one encounter so far—is a an important part of making ICE routine, mundane, accepted www.harpercollins.com/products/the...

I’m going to wheatpaste this article to telephone poles until everyone reads it

Fun fact: the rover would be able to drive perfectly fine even if the inner 2/3 of the wheel rim totally breaks off. There is enough toque in the wheel motors to pull the entire rover up a vertical wall if only one of them was operating. It could drive fine if the wheels were square.

Free newsletter: The AI industry is lying to you about progress. Only 5GW of data centers are under construction, it takes 6 months to bring online a single quarter's worth of NVIDIA GPU sales, and LLM code is actively breaking big tech. www.wheresyoured.at/the-ai-industry-is-lying-to-you/

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions. It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

“Eugenics isn’t just about eradicating the lesser people like myself, like people with disabilities, it’s about attaching disability to marginalized communities in order to slate them for eradication.” Fantastic crash course in eugenics, ableism & anti-blackness from @imanibarbarin.bsky.social

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

While cryptocurrencies were once viewed as a subversive financial instrument intended to be independent from governments, banks, or the traditional financial system, it’s become clear that the crypto world is deeply dependent on outside forces propping it up.

I’m not sure people quite grasp how much of the crypto world is reacting to the Trump memecoin launches.

What are some accessible Infosec & Opsec resources that activists, journalists, and organizers can turn to in preparation for the Trump admin? Preparing for a fascist regime can feel scary and paralyzing. This seems like an area where people can take control w/ concrete steps. Please share below 👇🏽

For anyone looking to adjust their media diet, now’s a great time to consider escaping The Algorithms with RSS. Here are some of the blogs, newsletters, and independent news sites I follow: www.mollywhite.net/blogroll/ For feed readers,  I use Inoreader, but there are many other good options.

2025 is when I track down and deal with the guy who invented the "typing..." notification

Whilst the murders are to be named today, and I understand why it is important for some, it doesn't change what they did. Brianna Ghey is the only name that should be remembered. Rest in peace Brianna. 💜

When the clock strikes midnight on January 1, works of art & culture from 1928 will enter the public domain in the US, meaning they can be remixed & reused in new creative works. And 1928 was a big year, thanks to a famous mouse... Join our celebrations: blog.archive.org/2023/12/05/w...
