Plague Mother

This is what I mean when I say that present-day covid denialism is right wing. It was a plan born of corporatists and wholly adopted by centrists and even leftists eager to pretend the pandemic was over, which should immediately give anyone thinking about it pause.

glamour uk nine trans women on a street out in the sun wearing ‘protect the dolls’ shirts. the cover is captioned ‘the dolls’ and ‘women of the year’

glamour uk have made trans women their ‘women of the year’.

this really highlights how transphobes have lost the ‘culture war’ and are wholly reliant on bigoted politicians like @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social and wes streeting

they wouldn’t do this if they were worried about it losing them readers:

Reason MEDIA CRITICISM Deplatforming Nick Fuentes Won't Stop Antisemitism The Tucker Carlson interview is an apt demonstration of what to do--and what not to do. ROBBY SOAVE | 10.30.2025 3:45 PM

banning antifreeze from your kitchen won’t stop poisonings, and that’s why you should put it in your water bottle

Migrant s nožem? Kampaň SPD se podobá nacistické propagandě, uvedl soud Nejvyšší správní soud se v pátečním rozhodnutí postavil kriticky k volební kampani SPD, která zobrazuje migranty, stížnost voličky ze Středočeského kraje přesto zamítl. Kampaň se přitom podle NSS podo...

Tak je to černé na bílém. Podařilo se mi alespoň dosáhnout toho, že NSS označil kampaň SPD za podobající se nacistické propagandě. Navíc se kriticky vyjádřil k volebním zákonům. Jeste jdu k Ústavnímu soudu

is this good

remember when elon musk was still in government and DOGE still active and they pretended for like a week rampent social security fraud was happening, and then it turned out they just didn’t understand that databases would include people who passed away and we never heard about this “fraud” again lol

Velké byty pro sdílené bydlení studentů. Brno zavádí novinku, která se mu osvědčila u seniorů - Novinky Brno nabídne velkometrážní byt v centru pro sdílené bydlení studentů. Větší byty se hůře pronajímají, proto město už dříve více než dvacítku z nich nabídlo pro sdílené bydlení seniorů nebo zdravotnick...

V Brně je skoro 65 000 studentů vysokých škol. A město nyní s velkou pompou ohlašuje, že „nabízí první dostupný byt pro studující“. Chápete to? Město nabízí jeden jediný byt pro studující a ještě se s tím chlubí?

For gamers who aren't in game dev, you should know that we are in one of the worst periods in game dev history in terms of industry stability and the reason you're not seeing that play out through products is because the average development window of games is 3-7 years so it hasn't reached you yet.

this whole piece is fascinating but this section really stuck out to me as why so many people are the way they are. they project trump himself onto themselves, and he is their identity. an attack on trump is a direct attack on them

this is absolutely insane and yet another sign that the trump administration is attempting to become a full on authoritarian government regime

Transphobia hurts everyone by enforcing binaries that aren't rooted in biology

the reality is that a minimum of 50% of republicans would be overjoyed to let 1/5 of the american population starve if it meant they’d pay $20 less on their annual taxes

I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

Tom's Crossing is out today! Enjoy yourself a ramblin good time.

My review of it is still up here.

The actual finding here is that a huge percentage of the population believes things that are not true. Democrats objectively did not spend significant time on climate change or LGBTQ issues in the last election campaign.

Fortune headline: "Bill Gates says a 2-day work week is coming in just 10 years, thanks to AI replacing humans ‘for most things"

"Amazon is cutting 14,000 corporate jobs" says Verge headline subheadline: "Some may ask why we’re reducing roles when the company is performing well,’ an executive admitted, blaming AI for the layoffs"

I "enjoy" this disconnect between tech titans claiming that AI will have us all eating pastries and working two days a week and the reality of firing people en masse while simultaneously supporting fascists who oppose universal basic income and are actively destroying the social safety net

I lost my job, the price of groceries is way up, my gardener was deported, and they canceled funding for the experimental cancer treatment that was my only chance to live another year. But at least my damn neighbor is afraid to wear a keffiyeh now.

I'm so tired of research studies like this not clearly explaining how they defined someone as male or female (chromosomes? EHR record that could be legal sex?)

Let alone actually explicitly including trans people

What's the risk for a trans man like me on HRT? Who knows, who cares I guess 🙃

one of the most deeply infuriating aspects of american politics is close to half of americans would love if 20% of the country starved to death

Some of us are more vulnerable to psychosis than others, but ALL of us are vulnerable given the right circumstances. Sleep deprivation, fever, prolonged illness and isolation, torture, extreme hormonal fluctuation, rapid change in meds or the wrong combo--the list is very long and unpredictable.

Anyhow, if the numbers were this high for any other product we'd be screaming to get it off the market. bsky.app/profile/flux...

was curious to see how true this was and i searched for my name on there and i have a page on grokipedia rhat is essentially an extended version of my wikipedia but the extended bits are just repeating the same bits over and over for about 10,000 words lol

3 years SIGNALIS! Thank you from rose-engine

SIGNALIS was released 3 years ago today.

It still feels like a dream that people still play,
discuss and create fanart of our game today ✨

Thank you for your support throughout the years!

the reality is trump is definitely without a doubt going to try to install himself as president again in 2028 and the reason no one in the media is really saying that or taking him on when they say that is they know it’s probably over a 50% chance of it working and they want to be on his good side

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this
