Half my email inbox lately is newsletters saying "here's why everything is fucked and we're all gonna die"
The other half is people asking me to do free labor, or responding to me asking them to do free labor
"Stripping anonymity from the internet would constitute one of the most sweeping rollbacks of civil rights in recent history. It would allow for unprecedented levels of mass surveillance and censorship, endangering the most marginalized members of society."
one of the ways Trumpβs war is robbing you (if youβre alive to read this) is that news organizations that still do arts coverage are cutting their arts coverage to make room for war coverage
Welcome to Bluesky at last, Cory Doctorow! @doctorow.pluralistic.net
And Killjoys was a genuinely brilliant show that deserves way, way more love.

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people
this is not an amount of money any individual or household should be able to have and we have to abolish both billionaires as a group and the economic system that makes them possible
Labour is what happens when the nominally "center-left" party stands for absolutely nothing and just shifts more and more to the right in a foolish attempt to woo voters to their right: a massively unpopular party that's going to get absolutely crushed... and right-wing policies.
Let me be clear: Iβm glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.
The advancing army established a forward base, but then it started asking them all sorts of personal questions
Ok, but why is Graham Platner actually a thing? Wtf is wrong with yall?
Look, when the day comes, it's going to be very hard to get some people to get off the "norms/turn the page" bandwagon, but the least, and already established, thing we can do is prosecute the fuck out of everyone for perjury. All these people have lied under oath. Start there, at the lowest bar.

βAt the end of the day, she didnβt sound any better than some of these ultra-conservative people who were demeaning Black and Brown folk on a regular basis,β said Rev. Rodney Sadler, a Bible scholar and longtime community activist in Charlotte. βIt felt like a betrayal of the utmost.β Cunninghamβs comments proved so problematic for Sadler that he said he realized that she was βno longer worthy of being our representativeβ and he had to run against her. βIt drove me to a point of saying, βShe needs to go, and she needs to go now,ββ the 58-year-old pastor, who works at Charlotteβs Union Presbyterian Seminary, told Bolts.

Jesse singal literally wrote a whole article about an imaginary me and then asked people to be furious at his fantasy version of me.
The level of misinformation spread by proponents of youth gender medicine, many of whom have a professional stake in it and many of whom have fancy letters and affiliations affixed to their names, is really demoralizing.
