Look, you have to understand Bibi: it really deeply upsets and frightens him that a Muslim reached the age of 34.

Abandoned, dismissed and gaslighted: there is no excuse for the way ME sufferers have been betrayed | George Monbiot
Changes in guidance and science seem to have little impact on millions of devastated lives. It’s a social crisis playing out behind closed doors, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Important reporting from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social on the ongoing neglect & gaslighting of people with ME/CFS by doctors, researchers, &politicians. The lack of funding for research & care is shocking, as the hystericization of this "contested illness" continues. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Gary, Indiana is 77% percent Black. Thousands have been without power for nearly two weeks. Many are without safe water. Yet every data center is operational & using enormous amounts of both power and water. This is what oligarchy looks like. Everyone suffers so the 1% can make even more.

People who were bullied at school but sociable in later life: How many best and close friends did you have to have to realise you're well liked, even very popular and loved? I lost count, at least of the second tier, and I am probably first tier to some of those. And perhaps that's the point.

I don't check in here often. I guess I can write here to say they still aren't feeding Palestine. Worse stuff came out since making that my profile pic. I could update it, but it would end up obscene. And how would "Israel systematically räpes political prisoners" fit in one image, anyway?

When people put too much weight in ancestry/DNA results, I find myself automatically thinking one of two things: A) "I'm like compleeeetely (single ethnic identity)." - So you're inbred. B) "I'm a mongrel! I'm (long list, as if I'm interested)." - So I wonder how much of that mixing is r*pe.

After weighting up potential perpetrators, my bet is on #Russia, because: - China isn't that actively pissed off with us - #Iran probably knows the people are very much on the side of the Iranian people and oppose what is happening there and in #Palestine - #USA MAGA types don't have the intellect

It may say a fair bit when I say this is the first time I'm siding against Iran in these conflicts. Targeting a British open source provider is pretty shitty. Previous targets, like eBay, were far more appropriate - political links, American, and wealthy.

I'm a translator and an icon designer. And I don't like the translate icon. Who's with me? It's focused on script differences - using a Chinese and Latin character. It's Chinese-centric yet sinophobic, making Chinese the archetypal "other". Would we benefit from new options? #icons #xl8 #webdev

⚠️ New research with HUGE data set (2.7 million): Autism rates are “more or less equal for men and women.” Autistic females present differently than autistic males in childhood. As a result, females are often diagnosed later, so recorded rates are higher for male children but even out by adulthood.

Women have the same rates of autism as men – but get diagnosed less
A new study on autism prevalence in both genders suggests that ‘clinical biases contribute to under-recognition of women and girls’

There is a certain irony to the fact that German law requires careful adaptation of a 14-page template in order to go paperless in your organisation - or indeed even your home/office as a freelancer or private individual. The template has room for signatures. For printing it. 1/4 #paperless

We awaited their release, To see what might be proved. But the real evidence lay within, What had clearly been removed. Someone's procuring girls, Why is the name blanked out? Not a victim, not vulnerable. So a testament to their clout. He's in the Epstein files. It's what the cover up's about.
