She likes to celebrate Independence Day by sitting in a Confederate Cemetery, summoning the spirits of the dead, and reminding them that their sacrifice was for nothing.

Great parents teach their children to be kind to everyone, except fascists.

Yesterday I attended a tutorial on a super technical topic where the lecturer was an amazing South Asian woman and.. it was incredible how much disrespect she was getting in the comments by men of all backgrounds who just probably frankly didn’t believe that she knows much more than them.

Spain just became the first EU country to blacklist Palantir, the US data firm whose AI targeting software powers Israel's killing machine in Gaza.

@Richard_Littler just overheard an older couple while I was drinking my coffee say, “…he’s afraid of falling so he wears a helmet. But he doesn’t want to stand out. So he carrys a skateboard”.

Pro tip

NHS will be forced to divert billions of pounds from essential services to pay more for new drugs under the terms of the UK-US trade deal,after ministers caved to pressure from Trump over tariffs. The trade deal is also projected to lead to over 200,000 excess deaths and deepen health inequalities

I hate headlines like this. You read the article and discover she works in finance, he runs a life coaching business whatever that is, and they retired once their savings hit £1 million which didn't come from making their own sandwiches.

Meanwhile out in the real world most of us have been bringing packed lunches to work since the 2010s at least and are still one unexpected vet bill away from a couple of months of home haircuts.

Don't worry folks, they didn't erase trans men from the SCOTUS decision. They were in an easily missed footnote.
