Matthew McConaughey says he wants a private LLM, fed only with his books, notes, journals, and aspirations, so he can ask it questions and get answers based solely on that information, without any outside influence.

🚨 In the fight for #FossilFreeFood, beware false solutions.

πŸ§ͺβ€˜Blue’ ammonia fertilizer = fossil gas

i find that writing decision so grievously annoying lol. any outlet that writes "_____, who uses ---/--- pronouns" for any trans or gender non conforming person mentioned should also make that distinction for everybody ever. i wanna see John Fetterman, who uses he/him pronouns,

Wes Streeting says chants about IDF at Glastonbury festival β€˜appalling’ Health secretary also says Israel needs to β€˜get its own house in order’ while condemning chants led by Bobby Vylan

The expected bollox from this lightweight

It's not cheering on a team - it's a demand to stop

Do you actually watch the news from Gaza, Mr Streeting?

50,000+ dead

Women and children enticed out to find food, then mown down by IDF automatic fire

I’m honored to receive the Pulitzer Prize today. I dedicate this success to my family, friends, teachers, and students in Gaza.
I’m praying for an immediate and permanent ceasefire and justice.

Every trans person in existence proves a whole army of sex cops couldn't stop us.

The organised force necessary to maintain sexual dichotomy proves it isn't a law of nature.

just saying: it's possible that "I'm gonna dramatically constrict my state capacity while plotting dramatic imperial expansion, and expanding my set of internal enemies while alienating most of my foreign allies" is the beginning of a world-historical masterstroke. but also possible that it isn't

i think it’s confusing, and vaguely upsetting, that anyone is still trying to engage with any media in a way that tends to reduce us to a set of arguments and an appeal to rights.

The UK farmer protests you probably haven’t heard about Farm workers milk cows, drive machinery and pick crops – yet their grievances are seldom heard.

In this I draw attention to the Justice Is Not Seasonal protest which highlighted the mistreatment of farm workers on British farms. I argue that better working conditions is about more than just what we pay at the checkout.

Such a fascinating analogy @reproutopia.bsky.social draws between TERFism & nationalism: β€œIt’s almost like a nationalism of sex....At the psychic level, they want strong borders, & they want to make sexuation great again.”

The images coming out of California are horrifying. These fires are no doubt caused by capitalism's prodigal combustion of fossil fuels, especially historic emissions from the global north. This can't be said enough, but there's another important side to the story. 1/4
