it has been said over and over but it’s worth reiterating in the face of this horrifying decision: RFK is quite literally joining the war on cancer on the side of cancer

Porn was only ever the excuse. The only thing that surprises me is how quickly the government surveillance mandate has spread to absolutely every service we use.

As scholars of genocide, we demand an end to Israel’s atrocities | Open letter Within weeks, 400 colleagues joined our organization. We say: it is not too late to save lives. End the genocide now

🤦‍♀️

It’s insane that some people are still trying to attribute the mass starvation of an entire country to “it’s just complicated in the region.” That’s the refuge of cowards. Geopolitics is always complicated. Moral clarity in the face of genocide is - or should be - a simple ask

The New York Times hallucinates about AI in games.

In this case, the New York Times' use of "most experts acknowledge" wouldn't even pass muster on Wikipedia. The idea that the paper of record can just throw that out there really speaks to the sad state of American journalism.

This is every political scientist's personal hell.

"How should I make backups?"

3 rules:

- THREE copies.

- TWO types of storage media (disk, CD, flash, etc.)

- ONE copy off-site (backblaze, Hetzner, other backup providers)

Frequency, choice of data to backup, encryption, etc. is up to you. I have it automated but that's not for everyone.

Replied are disabled but I really MUST recommend two options:

1. Fully offline (Only office/libre office) + robust backup regime.

2. Self hosted cloud (Nextcloud, Owncloud) with said offline apps... and a robus backup regime.

MAKE BACKUPS. MAKE BACKUPS. MAKE BACKUPS.

Is Australian mainstream media finally ready to use the g word? The word 'genocide' has been given a wide berth in legacy media coverage of Gaza. Is that starting to change?

Is Australian mainstream media finally ready to use the g word? www.crikey.com.au/2025/07/23/g...

This seems universal in the West atm; increases in military spending and arms manufacturing over other industries for non-existent wars and non-existent enemies; open brutalisation of global majority migrants

Over the approaching-20 years of being 'out' as autistic, it's been amazing seeing how many of my friends have gone from, "Well, I'm definitely not autistic/ADHD!" to "Wait...oh...I am...!"

Australia has a Jewish population of roughly 125,000 (or .4% of the total Aussie population). Antisemitism is nasty stuff, but we are legit wondering why these very explicit protections aren't offered to our other (and much larger) marginalized groups.

Nazi concentration camps opened just as innocuously as this. Little fanfare. Political prisoners. Undesirables. Stuff like that. Seven years later, they were operating an organized system of extermination camps to murder millions.
