My heart broke reading your thread Robyn. I’m so sorry you have had to put up with this abuse. Your experiences with being called “it” really resonated with me, and my experiences first coming out in 2015.
Section of the webpage for the hardback edition of The Technological Republic: Hard Power, Soft Belief, and the Future of the West Lower text: "Waterstones Says: Extremely timely, rigorous and bracing, The Technological Republic is an urgent rallying cry for the tech industry and Western governments to harness innovation to pursue democratic goals, national welfare and protect freedoms."
Does anybody have a physical copy of The Technological Republic by Palantir's Alex Karp that they would let me keep?
If not, could you share this around?
I have an idea for a DIY art project.
Forensickness is incredible

This is a wonderful doc and I love how the filmmakers portray North West London. Thank you for sharing :)

The next para goes on to say he joined the university Debating Society which absolutely tracks!
Excerpt from p.38 of The Spare Chancellor by Alastair Buchan text: But within a fortnight of his arrival he had encountered a more serious problem than homesickness. One of his fellow boarders was carrying on some connection with a woman at a time when Dr. Hoppus supposed him to be either in chapel or in college, and Bagehot gathered from his conversation that he was about to lead a second youth astray. He sat down after several sleepless nights and wrote his father: Now certainly I feel that it cannot be my duty to allow this state of things to continue ... yet the office of tale bearer is so invidious, and in general so contemptible that I confess I am exceedingly loath to undertake it ... This certainly must be stopped and I possess no other means of doing so, but informing Dr. Hoppus immediately. This he proceeded to do with the results which he had expected. His companions were furious with him, and Dr. Hoppus with the boys, who were immediately dismissed from his house. It reveals at the same time moral courage, a strong sense of right and duty, together with something which could be either officiousness or an overdeveloped fastidiousness. "It is my first taste of the troubles of life," he wrote to his father. "Henceforth I shall perhaps never be wholly free from them."
Reading a biography of Walter Bagehot and am heartened to learn an historical enemy was a snitch and a loser as a student.
ONE WEEK until FRANKENSTEIN CREATED ROBYN hits YouTube!
the lines and shape of the ferris wheel make me think of early experiments in computer animation from the 80s
They haven’t won because we’re still here, and their mission was to doomed to fail from the start.
Helen Lewis is a taste of what most cis journalists in the UK are like when it comes to trans women.
The ditching of journalists from the UK's biggest gay magazine, including their trans reporter, shouldn't be surprising.
Mainstream news media is not the bastion against fascism it claims to be, it inevitably turns toward profit, power, and - in the UK - transphobia.
Shame on Pink News.
we're about 1/3 of the way to our goal. any help, even sharing, that you can give would be wonderful.
the fact that the guardian, a paper that prides itself on Telling The Truth, has yet to rescind and apologise for its years of anti-trans propaganda despite the fact that, in this, it is allied with the rise of fascism (stupid version) in the USA, tells us something about the brainrot of transphobia
Guardian reporting on Leo Varadkar's article on attacks on LGBTQ+ rights.
Varadkar mentions trans rights 5 times, but Guardian 0 times.
Leo points to the toxicity of US and UK debate, but Gaurdian ignores.
Their silence is GC* Ideologically driven journalism.

I am taking care of my body because I want to live long enough to see the Guardian go bankrupt.
In April 1992, Robert Altman's The Player was released, garnering lavish praise for its opening scene, a complicated ensemble tracking shot. In April 1990, Coronation Street was doing stuff like this, and nobody batted an eyelid.
@angelicabastien.bsky.social and i answer the question of the moment: "what does "sinners" record-breaking oscar nomination haul mean?"
for the academy? everything.
for the future of black film? history tells us it won't change much.

The way things are going rn I wouldn’t be surprised if Smallpox returned like Barbossa at the end of Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man’s Chest
AP: BREAKING: The Israeli military says it is dropping charges against five soldiers who were accused of sexually abusing a Palestinian detainee.
The *apists were caught on camera and defended their actions. The Israeli public filled the streets to defend their right to *ape. This is Israel. This is Zionism. And it is irredeemable.
Would love to track down a copy of the dvd someday. Will have to make do with the Internet Archive upload for now.

“Fucking Noddy?!”
yes! this "scientific review" makes a poor judgement, it's true on its face, but let us be clear it has no right to judge in the first place

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
since I'm now apparently entering my "old films" era: The Austrian film museum has uploaded the Kino-Pravda newsreels from the 1920s. here's the first one (the one used during the trial of the SRs)
