I hope this is good news for queer Hungarians but from an outsider it feels like, at best, a "we won't actively persecute you" type of politics. further right than Joe Biden.

Reading this you might think post doctoral men never have children but of course that’s not true. We simply don’t demand men juggle these things. It’s 2026 and we still treat women— with whole ass PhDs— like that’s what they’re for.

"Magataotao" on Twitter writes: "I am Catholic. This👇is not my Pope."

Attached is a video of the Pope saying that we should search for peace and reject war.

A community note under their tweet says: "You are not a Catholic if you do not accept the Pope, but rather a schismatic.

Canon 751: “Schism is the refusal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff,” ie. the Pope.

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

Refusing to accept an AI-poisoned future of journalism Humans, however flawed, are

An interesting and insightful piece on Ai in journalism and in general from @marisakabas.bsky.social

"If they can get us to accept that the future is already settled—AI is already here, the end is already here—then we will create that for them."

A professor friend of mine taught in Missouri earlier on in her career; when she referred in passing to the US having lost the Vietnam war, her students challenged her and then refused to believe her when she explained it to them real slow

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you.

If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can.

Everyone give this a share after.

I’m sure there were plenty of early 19th century op eds about how the steam engine was going to free up the peasantry from manual labour, creating conditions of plenty for all 🙄

Tomorrow Wes Streeting will remove trans minors ability to access, and doctors to prescribe, cross-sex hormones.

Try as it might Labour will never eradicate trans people. They cannot, and should not, change who they are. All Labour will do is make trans lives harder - with more harm and more death.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

In the last decade, the Atlantic has not platformed a single trans person to speak about issues affecting them or the broader trans community. Not a single one. Yet, they have monthly screeds by Helen Lewis and endless money to pay random transphobic grifters to pump stuff like this out.

“The war continues working, day and night.
It inspires tyrants
to deliver long speeches
awards medals to generals
and themes to poets
it contributes to the industry
of artificial limbs
provides food for flies
adds pages to the history books
achieves equality
between killer and killed”

Read it all:

If Queers for Palestine were a person, it would be Hannah Spencer. No one better sums up the dimness and sheer vacuity of the modern Left than the new MP for Gorton and Denton. There she is in her blue jeans and trendy trainers dancing awkwardly as Muslim men who dream of wrapping her sinful body in a black cloak look on with restrained fury

Thanks to @rheinze.myatproto.social for reskeeting my question yesterday: I can now confirm that the TIME image of Miriam Makeba is authentic!

1 month ago 1 0 0 0

UPDATE: it's legit! TIME Magazine did a kind of retrospective "Women of the Year" in 2020, and this is in fact an official image from the magazine, though Makeba did not appear on the cover. It seems to have been a strategy to make up for their historical failures? time.com/5793625/zenz...

But this isn’t just a regular account. Johnny MAGA appears to actually be a White House staffer named Garrett Wade who works for the Trump administration as a rapid response manager, helping to run the very same White House account his anonymous MAGA account amplifies. A phone number associated with Wade is linked to Johnny MAGA, according to a WIRED review of publicly available records, and the connection was confirmed by a source close to the White House.
Wade and the White House did not respond to requests for comment.

Wade and the White House did not respond to requests for comment.

The Johnny MAGA account was created in September 2021, according to its X profile. (It originally used a different handle, which referenced Wade’s birth year, according to records reviewed by WIRED.) While the account’s earliest available posts focused on NFTs, it has been a consistent pro-Trump presence since at least 2022.
The operator of the Johnny MAGA account has not disclosed an official relationship with the White House while operating the Johnny MAGA X account. Multiple media outlets, including Mother Jones, TownHall, and the New York Post, have all linked out to posts on the Johnny MAGA account seemingly as organic reflections of public sentiment on political issues.

This is very good reporting that sheds light on just how small the extremely pro-Trump online right really is. The online right is totally astroturfed. The White House's own staffers are running meme accounts to make them look more popular than they are. www.wired.com/story/a-whit...
