You're right, I think the petition is still well worth supporting. It would certainly be harder to make the content illegal. I suppose I'm feeling disillusioned and fatigued by these repetative attacks on a safe space for my queer kids. It's starting to feel like the right will always win.

Payment processors shouldn't be able to pull services based on content that they disagree with unless they can demonstrate that the content in question is harmful or dangerous. I don't know that using the word 'legal' is the right move here.

I worry though, because if I was the payment processor in this scenario I would just switch to making that content illegal and we've seen that private companies can have a lot of sway over legislation passed in all of the countries currently facing this issue.

The real surprise came after the experiment. Fred Lambert, who writes for the blog Electrek, pointed out the same autopilot disengagement that the NHTSA had documented. “Autopilot appears to automatically disengage a fraction of a second before the impact as the crash becomes inevitable,” Lambert noted.

In a horrifying article about the dangers of Teslas, one point stands out: Teslas automatically disengage self-driving mode <1 second before an imminent crash--not enough time for the driver to react, but enough for Tesla to deny responsibility for fatal crashes, since self-driving "wasn't engaged."

This is an inherently sexist take and blatantly inaccurate. Women can be the same and men can be different. Thatcher is a good example of a female leader going full fascist. I agree, I'd like to see some women in charge though. There are a lot of talented leaders who are overlooked due to gender.

Well, fuck.

A Bangladeshi lesbian friend has been issued an ultimatum on marriage by her family. She was, in the past, subject to religious conversion therapy to try to 'cure' her, and now will be married off against her will unless she can secure the funds and documents to escape.

Please help.

Wow! I haven't thought about Kate Nash in about 10 years but turns out I love her?

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

This whole thing is lovely! I love that this is how kids think and because they don't fully understand death yet as a concept they can be really brutal in how they talk about it, to hilarious effect.

as somebody who spent the better part of a year living in rural WV, let me tell you, it is not a happy place to be if you are any shade of different. 1,000% help Ash if you can!

I could spend hours reading Shakespeare. I know it’s only a word, but I love it.

I once made some scotch pancakes that looked exactly like this when I flipped them.

I love to create peaceful places

Very interesting thread on direct air capture. More ways for corporations to greenwash.

I implore those MP’s on the newly formed Women & Equalities Committee to be aware of fellow member, Rosie Duffield’s, record of transphobia, and to put up guard rails to stop her weaponising her influence to hurt trans people 🙏🏻

Be alert, she will undoubtedly go to the media too!

My phone just auto corrected "trauma dumping" to "trauma dumpling," so I painted this in case anyone would like a visual of my mental state.

How's everyone else doing?
