I’ll place my bet on them recognizing The Machines ahead of women. After all, the generalized belief is that machines are a a men’s creation πŸ™„

He’s clearly headed to a date with someone he really cares about and wants to look his best. But in seriousness: pigeons are under-appreciated and needlessly maligned. They are beautiful quirky birds.

I am appalled at how little coverage the fate of the flotilla gets and how people who were on board are treated in detention.

Brilliant! But please, consider also expanding harm reduction, safe consumption, overdose prevention and other key services that help folks who are unable to abstain from drugs to stay alive and HIV-free until they are ready. Dead people can’t recover. Harm reduction saves lives.

I am still easing into it, but appreciate the takes. Father Figure is definitely one of the faves, both scathing and sing-along.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

This is not just dumb. This is cruel. People are so dangerously mindless when it comes to nature and ecosystems. If you don’t care about wildlife, you surely care about yourself? Because every human depends on a healthy ecosystem anywhere in the world.

i don’t think people on bluesky understand the severity of this situation.

i woke up to literally hundreds of texts from friends and family thinking about either moving back home to india or applying to other countries for jobs. this includes me.

The world gone mad. Mad! This also sets a really bad precedent. The right wing lies are ludicrous and I think it is a really misjudged move to provide β€œevidence”. Even if the First Lady were anything but a cis woman, it’s nobody’s business. The Macrons have right to privacy like anybody else.

I thought i couldn’t like guy more. And then he drops this. The message, the framing, the plan. He’s got it. New Yorkers, you’ve got your guy. It’s a fight worth winning.

In April NPR profiled people who couldn't get their HIV drugs. How are they faring now? In Zambia, we met people who are HIV positive, couldn't get drugs to suppress the virus after U.S. aid cuts and were seeing symptoms. We checked in on them β€” and the man who's been their champion.

This why accurate journalism and reporting matters so much . After @npr.org reported on these individuals who faced death without access to ART after the US pulled foreign funding, the Zambian government stepped up, got in contact and providing life saving meds. A win!
