This whole thread is heartbreaking. A too common style of leadership that's just completely ignorance driven. And it's cost lives here.

Sign the Petition Demand the Release of Rodney Taylor from ICE Detention

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year!

Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him.

He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary.

His health is declining.

Public outrage might save his life.

Say his name:

Jesus Christ what a depressing story. All done for seemingly no reason - by a private business too?

Loved those books growing up! Trying to eat raw potatoes because they lost the frying pan! And instead of screen time she's worried about them reading too many books!

As amazing as this story is, the ending is even better

Absolutely horrendous and hard to read but worth it - great journalism

Is he TOUCHING IT WITH HIS BARE HANDS??

Jesus, Alan is so good at this he even has them commiserating him! #TheCelebrityTraitors

Truth!

I would genuinely pay twenty licence fees if the BBC could guarantee @nigella.bsky.social on the next series of #celebritytraitors

So happy that the Traitor's inability to spell their fellow player's names carries over to the celebrity edition!

A hall of mirrors image showing the cast of "Spaced", but their multiple reflections show them all in different poses.

"I let my principles get in the way of things. I punched a bloke in the face once for saying Hawk the Slayer was rubbish."

Channel 4 aired the first episode of 'Spaced' on this day in 1999.

This description sells it so hard!

“Recent events have strengthened the need to keep Flash preserved—for example, shutdowns of the Cartoon Network’s website wiped out hundreds of Flash games and animations that only existed on the site, and will never show up on a DVD or streaming service.” Jason Scott Free-range archivist

Once the lifeblood of online creativity—from silly games to iconic animations—Flash has all but disappeared from the live web. 🕳️

In our latest Vanishing Culture essay, free-range archivist Jason Scott @textfiles.com explores why Flash deserves to be preserved.

This is why I'll always be conflicted about the catholic faith I was raised in, I think. How could this be allowed to happen, and allowed and covered up again and again and again?

I studied history of science and loved the stories behind the proving of germ theory (a surprising amount of boiling hay, I remember.) Hadn't quite realised how many cranks he's put into positions of power in America. Will have knock on effects over here as they get on planes and spread this stuff.

The billionaire and the tax evading gift shops Asif Aziz's Criterion Capital manages a row of high-profile shops at Piccadilly Circus. So why does his team keeping renting them to students who vanish without paying millions of pounds in taxes?

He's one of Britain's richest men. So why does Asif Aziz's property company keep leasing London gift shops to overseas students based in abandoned offices or flytipped car parks — before vanishing without paying millions of pounds in taxes? www.londoncentric.media/p/asf-aziz-l...

Relevant outside games too I think

Who Does Elon Musk Believe Is Worth Saving? The tech billionaire wants to shape humanity’s future. Not everyone has a place there.

New from me and the great @hana-kiros.bsky.social reporting on the devastation caused by the USAID cuts Musk championed, Musk’s troubling obsession with “western civilization” and which lives he believes are worth saving (it’s not kids in South Sudan)

They Asked an A.I. Chatbot Questions. The Answers Sent Them Spiraling.

Don’t think I’ve ever muttered the words “fuck me sideways” quite so much reading a story as this one.
