Screenshot includes a freeze frame from a video of a baby in Gaza with a large abdominal sore, with a watermelon digital sticker overlying where the baby’s vagina is visible on the original video. There is skin irritation on the inside thigh of the other leg as well, which is what the mother was trying to show. Post says: “literally, my child will die if we don’t quickly save [her] life with emergency surgery. I am poor, I have no money, and I don’t want to lose my child. I beg you and implore you to save my child. The story is on the donations page. Donate via the link.” After that, the same link provided in my post is displayed. Please click the link in my post to navigate to the donations page to help this poor family.

Going to share this post from @jgsseeerd41.bsky.social as a screenshot w/ the link to the family fundraiser as the video shows more of the baby than is safe for her (creepers be creeping & I want the family protected from those people). Donate and share. www.muslimgiving.org/arfat

Inhalers contribute significantly to global warming, study finds Millions of Americans using inhalers for chronic lung diseases like asthma may be unknowingly contributing to global warming, according to new research.

As somebody with asthma who uses inhalers - SHUT THE FUCK UP. THIS ARTICLE IS SHAMING PEOPLE WITH A CHRONIC CONDITION.

"Significantly" My ass. You know what else does? AI Data centers - corporations - cows - asphalt - THOUSANDS OF OTHERS THINGS THAT ARE NOT MEDICINE.

Fuck you - fuck you again.

This week, the lads explain Reform have been getting 100 times the news coverage of other similarly sized parties, and they conclude this shows “bias”. It really is depressing to see this kind of tinfoil hat cranky nonsense taking hold of the centrists. How would this media conspiracy work, exactly?

If you see this, please Repost🙏

I haven’t received any donations for 3 days, and our situation is getting worse💔

Why is it, do we think, that a large number of people in the UK believe local government is stuffed full of wasteful spending on woke nonsense that left wing bureaucrats refuse to cut? Is this an organic belief they came up with by themselves, or did people tell them that was what was happening?

British politics is basically a doom spiral of increasingly unhinged hostile policies.

Reform says something unhinged
⬇️
Labour counters with their own unhinged policy
⬇️
Tories shout from back they'll be even more unhinged
⬇️
Reform announces different unhinged proposal in response
⬇️
And repeat...🔁

Peacehaven: Fire at East Sussex mosque probed as 'hate crime' Video appears to show two people in balaclavas at the mosque before a large blaze spreads.

Two people in balaclavas torched a mosque in Peacehaven, East Sussex. This is not far from where I live.

Measles cases have soared by 20% worldwide in the past year, with 742 cases in the UK alone. In August, shortly after a 10-year-old girl in Liverpool died from the disease, the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health stated that the UK’s child vaccination rates have not met the World Health Organisation’s target of 95% since 2021. This rather undersells the situation. Sky News reports that “the England-wide rate for the final quarter of 2024/25 for MMR was 88.8%, down from 92.7% 10 years ago” and that “uptake in some local authorities is as low as 60%”. Far be it from me to weigh in on an issue that has become so politicised, as merely a parent who wants my children and those of others to stay alive, but I have a sinking feeling. A feeling exacerbated by a single red box on a perfunctory form and the idle chatter of concerned parents who no longer get their vaccine sceptic news from insane websites and specialist cults, but from prime-time appearances by the country’s most prominent politicians and journalists. A feeling that our children might wonder how we all lived through a (hopefully) once-in-a-lifetime global virus that killed millions, was effectively cured by the single most rapid and successful vaccination programme in history and which, immediately afterwards, gave way to anti-science posturing that drove vaccination rates to historic lows.

When it comes to intimidating racist protests including outside our homes or place of worship, Black and Asian people are supposed to just accept it and the government saying “we hear you” and “it is right to protest this” and “I love flags me”. No thought of “cumulative impact” for us!

First I heard of this was on here

The government want more coercive powers for the state against protests, and the main opposition party wants more coercive powers for the state against migrants.

Our political-media culture continues in a loop where the response to every perceived problem is yet more coercive powers for the state.

This is grim & dangerous over reach.

This is a government that have lost the moral argument & are still selling arms to Israel. Now further cracking down on dissent.

Absolutely the opposite of what they should be doing - so of course this is what the Labour Government choose.

sidenote, wouldn't it be cool if there was a sector in this country which employs many thousands of social scientists, at least a dozen or two would have very specific expertise on this topic, to whom journalists could just reach out to, like, ask if this looks in any way sensible

just a thought

Define "Better" fuckers.

If a university thinks it’s the ‘best’ it should take people with low or no prior attainment and prove it. Otherwise it’s just cherry-picking and claiming unearned credit.

i looked at the methodology for this and it is
a. sex addiction counseling group in texas did a surveymonkey and extrapolated the results to the entire us population which is the sort of research design that earns you an ff on an intro methods class (the extra f is for extra effort), and
b. p-hacked

Deploying lots of cheap renewables makes electricity cheap. We all know that but here’s a solid example.

As with the Tilly Norwood scam, journalists really don’t have to play along with the AI industry’s propaganda and publicity stunts

Bet they don't fucking add "do you believe that Labour has the good of the country in mind?" as a question.
