May I correct the unforgivable omission of David Lynch?

Palantir repeating a central myth behind speculative whiteness: white, western culture produces the high-tech future; other cultures regress into the past.

I’m absolutely not a Doctor Who person (because I know it’s a programme for children), but this is a great post.

OH MY GOD HE’S TINY! That’s fantastic news, thank you

Why are UK universities failing? - LSE Impact The HE sector in the UK faces the prospect of a university going into administration. How have universities fallen so low and is change possible?

🗣️"To speak of the “demise” of the UK university is not to suggest its disappearance, but its transformation into something increasingly unrecognisable."

Is *anyone* reporting on the mass destruction of jobs in UK HE?

Don’t threaten us with a good time

Haha thank you! I’ve been on the hell site

Define “left-leaning”

The amount of pain and misery that the US is heaping upon the world is staggering.

Fetterman is no worse and no better on the #Gazagenocide than thousands of other western politicians and media leaders. If only they could all undergo the same long, humiliating decline as him.

This is like a Cindy Sherman joint

They’re both 100% behind an ongoing genocide

It's interesting that Reform's councillor gains almost exactly equal Tory losses, and LibDem and Green gains almost exactly equal Labour losses.

UPDATE from the attacked Gaza aid ship:
They're trying to enter Maltese territory because of damage to the ship, and fears of a possible second attack.

The Maltese Coast Guard is allegedly blocking them.

"I am just following orders from higher authorities," an officer is heard over the radio.

@laboursatvir.bsky.social Here's another example of the hatred and distress being unleashed against trans people. Please act with compassion and get your government to change direction urgently before it does more harm.

Private social media message reading: "So far this week, one day my child got harassed and humiliated in school changing rooms. Another day her English lesson covered the debate over trans rights where she listened to ignorant class mates outline how trans women can make women uncomfortable, and came home asking whether they have a point and whether her existence actually is a big problem (she hadn't heard that transphobic argument before). She didn't feel able to speak at all in that debate lesson. She came home in tears both days. What a spectacularly shit country we have."

The UK's Anti-Trans Ruling Is a Defeat for All Women Even the self-described feminists celebrating the Supreme Court's attempt to banish trans people from womanhood will pay a heavy price.

Cisness brutalizes us all. The border guards of sex are the enemies of human liberation, and we fight them best by refusing to debate the fairness, let alone the accuracy, of their borders in the first place. thenation.com/article/society/supreme-court-trans-ruling-analysis-uk/

‘The Big Short’ investor who predicted the 2008 crash warns the market is 'underestimating’ the economic impact of DOGE’s mass firings The cost-cutting spree isn’t limited to government—billions in private-business contracts are affected, Danny Moses told Fortune.

Turns out that consumer economies implode when people lose their jobs on a mass scale and can't spend money. Who knew?
