I have been in London for three days and am getting my third Mexican meal.
The British Society for Middle Eastern Studies demands OU reverse its decision, linking the incident to a wider pattern of censorship of pro-Palestine voices:
Statement by trade union leaders
We stand with fellow trade unions in condemning the illegal war on Iran.
Reports of civilian casualties, including students and schoolchildren are deeply disturbing and require urgent and independent investigation.
The killing and wounding of civilians is indefensible.
Shout out to the legend who stayed in the train door for an extra two seconds so I could make the train, avoiding a thirty minute wait. And shout out to her friend who alerted her to my presence. I hope both sides of your pillow are always cool and that you never stub your toe again.
The promise of OpenAI and Grok being used in war is that no human can be held accountable for the war crimes it commits, all the way up to where it sits on the chain of command.
The total abdication of any kind of accountability, any kind of "am I following an unjust order" moral hesitation, etc.
OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN "The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic. "Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.' "Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people. "Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different. "In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.
My statement on President Trump’s combat operations in Iran⬇️
I love to see the break in the Premier League match so the players observing Ramadan can break their fast.
The people booing in the stands need to leave their religious bigotry at the door. Jackasses.
white text on dark red background along with the Alphabet Workers Union logo in white: "Tech workers are united in our stance that our employers should not be in the business of war."
After learning the Pentagon has demanded that Anthropic abandon all AI safety guardrails in their contract with the U.S. military – and that Anthropic has refused to capitulate to these demands – Alphabet Workers Union released the following statement: www.alphabetworkersunion.org/press/alphab...
Almost as if liberal-left voters want to vote for liberal-left policies, and not for transphobia, racism, and general petty nastiness.
Given far right activists were roaming about Gorton Denton yesterday pulling bullshit and labour focused their entire efforts on punching left, it feels like a vindication for the idea that the public wants to not be so fucking miserable.
And my colleagues look at me funny when I judge them for normalizing AI use ...
I am not sure I've seen a more ridiculous race than the men's mass start skating final. What on earth was that?
That was sick. 🏒
it is not enough to disable the feature that produces an AI summary of my emails at the top of my emails in gmail, I need a button that delivers an electrical shock to the person who thought it was a good idea
Oh hey, someone in (US) government who actually cares about trans people.
May Mailman’s anti-trans crusade could threaten gender equality for all.
I loathe that FWS is allowed to use that name. They most definitely are NOT for women. They actively work against women, actually, making all of us less safe. It's so fucking gross.
it’s breathtaking to see how this country is in decline by every possible metric
I finally watched Wicked For Good and I definitely liked it. But not as a musical (though For Good is such a lovely song). I appreciated it as a story. I love how Elphaba and Glinda grew as people.
UK ban on Palestine Action unlawful, high court judges rule

This needless to say, fucking insane.
There was also no public statement from the U.S. Consulate just across the border in Juarez about anything, as long as we’re collecting tidbits of information.
And the Juarez airport sits juuuuuust outside the NOTAM’s radius and seems to be up and running.
In an alarming development, it appears the UK Government covered up a massive spike in trans youth suicides after restrictions.
Then covered it up again when caught.
Now, after fighting for years, the data is public: trans suicide increased 5x in the country.

I'm traveling for work this week (as I do about one week every six weeks or so) and I absolutely hate hotel living. It's fun on holiday but it's a bummer on a random Monday night.
Also I like my partner (and my cat!), so being away from home a bunch is just not fun.
Plus side: free cocoa!
It is worth asking every single brand, NGO, government agency, elected Democrat, and journalist why they insist on using that platform. Demand they justify being on a platform literally designed to promote sexual abuse.
Man we are adorable. Also Austin is the best human I know in real life. It's pretty awesome.
People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.
Conflicting info about whether Pretti was murdered by ICE or CBP makes it clear that ICE is not single "rogue agency"
ICE, CBP and ALL policing & borders must be abolished. This isn't just one agency; its an entire infrastructure of carceral control, illegalization & criminalization, and fascism.
I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.
You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.
