Thinking of all the liberals who endlessly told me that the Biden admin would never, ever knowingly support war crimes.

Can't denounce racism when you yourself are Islamophobic. That's the bottom line re: both Gillibrand, Schumer and many other Democrats.

His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:

Amazon and Walmart are two of the biggest recipients of SNAP and Medicaid funds because they don't take care of their employees. Families working 40+ hours a week requiring gov subsistence. In Canada they go to food pantries to make ends meet.

Corporations are the real "welfare queens" of society

(Also I am on day three of a cold that has manifested as being super tired AND coughing so that was a nice addition to the experience 🙃)

I worked two cup semi-final matches today (first time as an assistant referee, then as the center ref with assistants for the first time) and it was hard. Doing something new with refereeing like four months into being a ref was cool but woof I still have so much to learn.

It's a Ponzi scheme. And these people at our universities have got us involved.

This morning I met three new friends for brunch, then this afternoon I sang three 30-minute sets with my choir at Brewhemia. Came home to delicious chili made by @austinkelmore.com and finishing it up with F1.

Great day. But also:

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

Let's be clear: this is the result of deliberate political choices to make accessing trans healthcare substantially impossible. It's what Streeting and his ilk want.

Kamala Harris Says She Has “Concerns” About Trans Student Athletes The former vice president said that the Trump campaign mischaracterized her in its “Harris Is for They/Them” campaign ad.

The only appropriate concerns one should have about trans student athletes are making sure they have the full support of their universities.

Sport must be trans inclusive. Period.

Fucking hell.

I cannot tell you how grim the AI in higher ed situation is. Many of the students have completely surrendered to letting AI do their homework, badly, I might add. How do you fix this? Truly, what the hell do we do, beyond what grading can address, which isn't a solution?

Good. But this must only be the first step.

It doesn't end Labour's complicity in the ongoing atrocities in Palestine.

UK-made weapons are used, UK forces train Israel's army, and Israel's president is welcomed to Downing Street.

We urgently need an end to the genocide.

Early dropoff in girls' school sports linked to new gender confirmation forms Province's new requirements are already having impacts on girls' sports in junior high

Fewer girls are playing sports after govt erected barriers for girls to play sports.

Ugh that face 🥹

A graph of Covid rates. It's more complex than can be described here, but the important bit is that the rates have gone up a lot since late July, nearly to the heights of last winter.

Hey, so...Covid rates have gotten real high. Maybe change your behavior to fit this new risk profile? Stop eating indoors at restaurants, mask on mass transit, that kind of thing?

I beg your finest pardon? What in the actual fuck?

It's wild how the media insists on called hate speech 'free speech.' Like, I guess it technically is, but also you are journalists. When there is a more precise phrase to use, you should use it.

Fucking hell.

And this has happened *without* a massive sea change of actual popular opinion in favour of these thugs; the elite flip has not been responding to the public, but to social media

Semi-Well-Adjusted Despite Literally Everything Four Stars Best for: Fans of honest memoirs; those interested in learning more about the lives of child stars. In a nutshell: Dancer, actor, singer, songwriter, podcaster Stoner shares the first 25…

In a work meeting and one set of presenters has used the term "pain points" at least ten times.

Workplaces are so fucking ridiculous.

Oh no thank you.

The majority of the US Supreme Court is super racist.

Schools are collapsing. Teachers are stretched to breaking point. Special Educational Needs provision is being gutted, leaving some of the most vulnerable children abandoned by a system that has already failed them. And the DUP? Their priority isn’t fixing any of this it’s waging a toilet-based culture war. Now teachers already exhausted, already underpaid, already stretched are now being told they can’t even use the correct pronouns for trans kids. They’re being ordered to deny children’s identities, to harm them in the very classrooms where they should be safe. It is nothing less than state-mandated bullying. This is not policy. This is cruelty. Trans children are being used as disposable political pawns, targeted not because anyone cares about their wellbeing, but because some politicians see them as an easy enemy to demonise. And where are the rest of the Executive parties? Where is Sinn Féin, so keen to call themselves champions of equality? Where is the SDLP, always ready with flowery words but silent when it really counts? Where is Alliance the so-called “progressive party” that claims to stand for inclusion, yet falls silent when trans kids are under attack? Silence in the face of cruelty is complicity. And every day they say nothing, they side with the DUP. It is ideology over care. It is hate dressed up as law. It is distraction politics of the worst kind whipping up fear about toilets and pronouns while real children go without the education, resources, and protection they need to survive. We see it. We will not let it pass unchallenged. We stand with trans kids. Their safety, their dignity, and their wellbeing come before the cowardice of politicians, before the cheap stunts of the DUP, before the silence of so-called progressives. Always. And if the DUP think they can build a future on scapegoating children, and if the rest of the Executive think they can wash their hands of it? They’re wrong. That future will crumble and history will remember …

When I first moved to Scotland and eventually became a UK citizen I thought I might consider joining Scottish Labour. Obviously now that I've done my research there's not a snowball's chance in hell I'd be associated with Labour. Craven individuals and craven party.

This government is a fucking embarrassment. Time to call and write to our MPs!

That is fucking criminal.

I need hotels to start providing washcloths again.

AI's best use case will always be scams. It's scamtech, top to bottom. Everything about it is crooked. Its bedrock is theft and its legacy is the destruction of the environment, both physical and virtual.

Even most of its 'legitimate' uses are a form of lying.
