UK military equipment used by militia accused of genocide found in Sudan, UN told Exclusive: two dossiers of material seen by the security council raise questions over export of British arms to the UAE, which has been accused of supplying weapons to paramilitary RSF group

Evidence is now coming to light of UK complicity in a *third* consecutive world leading humanitarian catastrophe. Few countries have a record of complicity in mass murder quite like Britain's. It goes beyond this or that government. It's a structural phenomenon.

GM will introduce eyes-off driving in 2028 | CNN Business General Motors, the 100-year-old car company, plans to offer Americans hands-free driving and the freedom to watch a movie on the go.

β€œImagine you step into your vehicle, you push a button, and it drives you to the office. You catch up on work, send emails, or watch an episode of your favorite show,” said GM CEO Mary Barra.

This exists, it's called a bus

I love how you guys always jump to "DO YOU THINK REFORM WOULD BE GOOD!?"

No, no I don't and that's not a defence of Labour
Labour are already stripping away my rights, so while yes Reform would be shit, so are Labour

Labour are LITERALLY stripping away trans rights right now

I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit

Agree. Enjoying the bright mornings, sunshine and fresh air. The damp doesn't work too well with Afro hair I will admit, but I'll take to braiding my hair and an ability to buy my own house 😍

Midlander - Londoner, & wannabe Mancunian here. I lived & worked in Soho & watched the decline. It was my favourite place in all of London when I first moved. 6 months in Manchester. It makes me feel even sadder for Soho, but selfishly, happy that I moved somewhere that gives a shit about community

Sorry I keep talking about this but I’m genuinely alarmed by the growing narrative that poverty is a cause of racism. First it’s super insulting of people on low incomes. Second it normalises & excuses racist takes. And third it deters real action on racism by shifting the whole focus to economics.

Also an important lesson for cis White folks (straight men especially): Your threat of withholding support or allyship means less than nothing to anyone historically marginalized. It's literally the baseline assumption we work from. You're not "showing us," you're just confirming our expectations.

Pussyfooting around racists is the main reason why we are where we are right now. Too many people too scared to call a spade a spade, and now it's digging all our graves.

I'm watching that documentary "Before Stonewall" about gay history
pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting.

The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast
about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed
psychologists, a police officer, and one "known homosexual". The
"known homosexual" is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis
White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson.
So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale
Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television
and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there's nothing
wrong with him mentally and he's never been arrested. When asked
whether he'd take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether
his family knows he's gay, he says that they didn't up until tonight, but
he guesses they're going to find out, and he'll probably be fired from
his job as well. So of course the host is like ... why are you doing this
interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says "I think
that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself."

1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium.

Despite the pseudonym, Dale's boss did indeed recognize him from
the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into
ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten
a new job at a higher salary.
Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further.
It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity
agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that,
but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person
who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the
statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson's disclosure had
a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the
U.S.
