Sorry Slurms, hopefully today is better

The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

How To Live A Good Life #oldknees

Just fully fabricating vile shit to tell each other stories about how they’re such great & brave heroes for hounding off a woman who was doing her absolute best to help people facing genocide

So far this year, I have gotten more calls from people who want to sue for the right to marry an AI they're in love with than I have from people arrested for protesting, and I feel like that says a lot about the moment we're in right now. I don't know what it says exactly, but it says a lot.

They wouldn’t have “moved the Overton window” an inch without the support of the press

I’d miss you but understand

molly shah getting hounded off a social media website for helping palestinians to eat during a genocide by so-called progressives is probably one of the most grotesque spectacles i've ever witnessed in my life. i'll never ever forget what went down on here & what libs & melts cheered & enabled

they hate her for making them feel bad about doing nothing and hold her responsible for them being bothered by people asking for help while they do their melt posts

and none of their claims about her being a 'con artist' or whatever would hold up in a libel case because they have *nothing*

A large white waterfowl with orange feet stands in front of a door. On the door is a cardboard sign secured with tape that reads, "DO NOT LET THE DUCK IN." Adding insult to injury, I think the duck might be a goose.

Whatever you do,

here it is if u need an excuse to not come into work:

to my boss: no i can't come in i saw some otters help their keepers to tidy up their pool

Her office said the Office for Students (OfS), which regulates universities, had received reports of speakers and lecturers being harassed and blocked for holding gender-critical or religious views, of foreign interference suppressing academic freedoms, and of ideological belief requirements featuring in job advertisements.

The OfS will be able to use the new complaints scheme from September. From April, it will be able to fine universities the greater of £500,000 or 2 per cent of their income, which would amount to millions of pounds for large institutions, for breaches under the Freedom of Speech Act. Ultimately, universities could be deregistered for egregious cases.

Bridget Phillipson will introduce new laws to make it possible for Universities to be fined millions of pounds if they don't silence students who protest bigots invited onto their campuses. It's like the Tories never left office.

I'm old enough to remember when kier's main selling point was meant to be "no you don't get it, he's a liar" rather than "no you don't get it, he's incompetent"

Fuckin’ Booooooo

Congratulations! Sorry you had to go through the application process tho

If a pollster asks you why you won't vote Starmer it is imperative that you tell them that the *only* reason is that he's an Arsenal fan. I fully believe we can take away the only thing he has left.

As @pfrazee.com once famously said, the protocol is important because the company will become an adversary one day.

For Palestinians trying to survive a genocide, it already has.

Anyways I don't really care what you think about Molly. I know she doesn't either.

But I do care if you're more interested in blaming her for the current state of things than holding those with actual power on this site accountable.

You know who actually made it harder for you personally to help Palestinians? To distinguish between desperate people and scammers?

@safety.bsky.app

They've identified people in Palestinian. Bluesky moderation could have labeled them as such. But instead decided to ban them over petty infractions.

I didn't agree with everything Molly did but she was always honest and transparent. And she didn't have any power over anyone. You could choose to trust her, or not. You could choose to donate to someone, or not.

You always had the choice to do your own research and build your own connections.

Checked in on Molly Shah (mommunism) after she deactivated. People really went after her specifically for behavior by others. Like, she stopped promoting individual fundraisers months ago?

Anyways she's a lot happier taking a break from here and focusing on other ways to help Palestinians. 😊

I had to go for a nap after coming back from the airport. I was sure my sleep was disturbed by an orange march down hyndland road but I can’t find any record of one planned. Have I just had a really vivid dream?

GB News headline: GP who asked Muslim woman to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her' is struck off.

Was this GP struck off just because he asked a Muslim woman to remove her veil?

How likely does that sound? 🤷‍♀️

Did he actually ask her to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her?'

Let's take a look at what really happened based on the tribunal reports...
