For all we know at the moment, the 5 men arrested near RAF Fairford might have been on a stag night. But the wild claims by Trump and Rubio suggest that, if they'd been apprehended in the US, they would have been denied due process. I hope our government tells them to butt out of our justice system.

The main reason Trump rejects all criticism of A.I. and data centres is because the alternative would require him to know the slightest thing about them. It's so much easier to just say, "A.I. good, make money, me smart!"

Dear ABC News, Please read this. Please fix your editorial standards. #DV #VAW #femicide #crime #journalism
ABC News continues to use headlines that misrepresent men killing women as "women die". Word choice matters. All 3 women were killed by men in 3 separate events and all 3 men have been charged with murder. The phrases "have been killed" and "were fatally stabbed" are used in the article itself, yet ABC News consistently uses passive language in the headline. #DV #VAW #crime #journalism #femicide
ABC News headline:
Three women die in domestic violence-related incidents across NSW

Okay so @defector.com has had an odd glitch since the site redesign a couple of weeks back where the wrong photo and headline are often put together on the main page and I was going to ask them about fixing it but this just happened and as far as I'm concerned they have to leave it as is.
Screenshot for a Defector podcast episode with the headline "Consider the Emotional Lives of Scallops" only the accompanying photo is a white gormless stubbled red-headed UK singer of recent notoriety giving a flat smile to the camera while wearing a washed out peach top as beige as he is against a flat background. So, actually, probably a scallop anyway.

I’ve no time for Ed Sheeran’s music but he seems like a thoroughly nice guy. It’s okay to want to stay away from controversy. But he seems to have found out the hard way that, as Bishop Tutu said, to remain neutral on issues of injustice is to take the side of the oppressor.
