Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

I’m increasingly of the belief that we’ve never truly left the Great Financial Crisis. Everything we’re dealing with today started there, and every excess and problem stems from the US government’s failure to contain or eradicate its causes.

When Paulo Freire began his public education programs in Brazil during the 1960s, 70% of people in parts of the country were illiterate. "And if you couldn't read and write, you could not vote," says Catherine Murphy, co-director of the new documentary "Reading the World."

The most common treatment is a combination of stimulants to keep awake during the day and a drug called sodium oxybate (Xywav) at night to get restorative sleep. You need to get diagnosed if you want Xywav though, it’s a controlled substance. Also without insurance it’s literally like $10k a month 🫠

I do think anyone who wants us to take Elizer Yudkowsky seriously as an authority on AI armageddon should be forced to testify on video that they have read the entirety of his 660,000 word rationalist Harry Potter fan fiction – written aged 30–34 – and still thinks the world needs his take.

i’d actually argue that this is a better rhetorical tack than arguing with something trans-inclusive because it’s an attempt to bait you into a premise in bad faith

I know this is not going to fix anything, but how much media coverage and how much groundswell of excitement from the base do you think would happen if one of these dem candidates just said, once in their lives, what the fuck are you talking about you sound like a dumb asshole right now

My sister’s ex started stalking her after she dumped him, so she got a restraining order. The harassment didn’t stop, so she called the police to report that he’d been violating the order. A cop then came over to say that he left the order in the back of his cruiser and forgot to serve it.

“Sociologists have long argued that human relationships are sustained less by intensity and more by regularity. Simply encountering the same people repeatedly builds closeness over time. Youth offers this naturally. Adulthood dismantles it completely.”

HOLY SHIT. A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election. Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

The only example the article brings up as "not telling the full story" is a video from 2019 of a teenager supposed to be making fun of indigenous people, turns out he wasn't. It mentions AI videos, but doesn't actually source any. This has nothing to contribute about Renee and Alex's murder

Abi Firicano @abifiri.bsky.social · 28/01/2026
"But experts say videos can't tell the full story" in normal circumstances is a neutral statement, but when our government has been telling straight up lies about 2 murders carried out by ICE, guys it sounds like you are trying to lend legitimacy to those lies.

“I get 10 messages, DMs (direct messages) a game, (saying), ‘F— you, I’m gonna f— your family up,” one player said.

“I personally hate gambling. Hate everyone talking about parlays this, parlays that. I hate getting DMs in my Instagram talking about, ‘You f—– up my parlay.’ I hate people sending me threats because I messed up their parlay,” another said.Terrible. Hate them. Every game, no matter if it’s a good game or bad game, you’ve got motherf—— sending death threats, saying racist s—. Every game. I guarantee you, if I check right now, I’ll probably have something from this game. Every game. Everywhere. DMs, Twitter. People be tripping, bro,” a player said. “I hope it doesn’t happen, but it’s going to come to a point where players are going to be targeted because people have lost so much money on them. That’s what I think. But hopefully I’m wrong.”
