It’s obviously extremely easy to hurt men’s tender feelings when we talk about rape culture (we’re talking about them or their buddies after all) but what will it take to make them feel afraid?

Anti Jewish violence is real and horrific. Being a victim of this violence is not the quotidian experience of most Jewish people right now. Encouraging Jewish people to live in terror when they are not actually in danger is deeply manipulative and is used to manufacture consent for genocide

If you want to support your favourite author, but don't have the money to buy their books, most libraries have a Recommend a Purchase" link somewhere on their website. Or a "Notify me if the library purchases this title" option in their catalogue, which tells staff that there is interest.

The media is desperate to find some reason why Elon Musk's politics are complicated or more sophisticated than they seem, because the simple truth is too ugly for them to admit - an actual Nazi is the world's wealthiest person, and his companies hold substantial American government contracts.

I was born and raised in Northern Ontario and I am absolutely boiling with rage at the ways in which people elsewhere are talking about the forest fires there as though this is a common occurrence. The air thick with smoke for kilometers, entire communities wiped out - this shit is not normal.

Remember that a lot of medications, including antidepressants, make you far more susceptible to heat stroke. You don't need to compare yourself to other people if you're feeling bad. Everyone's chemistry is different. The main comparison should be to YOUR normal.

Another round-up of social justice minded Canadian jobs! Usual caveat applies which is that I don't work for these organizations. These just came across my desk as someone who works contract to contract and I want to amplify because I know jobs in progressive spaces are hard to find!

Give me your favourite Non-Trek performance from a Star Trek actor. There are so many great answers in the thread but mine, hands down, is Jeri Ryan's occasional guest villain appearances on Major Crimes. (Second pick would be her Leverage guest appearances.)
Screengrab from cop show Major Crimes: Jeri Ryan on one side of a table in a police station, facing Mary McDonnell and two of her cop squad on the other sideScreengrab from tv show Leverage: Jeri Ryan and Timothy Hutton walking down a street, at night, in slightly eccentric formal wear. She is shooting him a deeply skeptical look as he talks.

I personally think not safe to remain in any personal relationship with anyone who is using LLMs to analyze your relationship, make conclusions about your motives, or determine how to treat you. I think this is beyond red flag—it should be an immediate dealbreaker.

At some point the conversation we had about how much of tech was stalkerware has to intersect with how AI usage has validated stalkers. And I know that sounds circular but this is the ouroboros of much of modern surveillance tech. It can be used against anyone but it is often rooted in misogyny

All Republican/conservative policy is fear based fantasy. Immigrant crime being a problem is a FANTASY. Anti-trans laws are based on FANTASIES. Iran being any sort of real threat to the US is a FANTASY. Republicans rely on the dumbest adults basically being afraid of the dark.

yeah once you accept that being trans is fine actually it opens the door for everyone's bodily autonomy. Kids' rights, abortion access, healthcare, the mere existence of borders: all of it.

Sheryl Weikal says Prosecute ICE @leftistlawyer.com · 13/02/2026
For years, propaganda told us that 95% of American Jews were Zionists and supported the far right governments of Israel that have gone even further right since the 1990s. Guess what? IT WAS A LIE.
For years, leaders of the nation’s largest Jewish organizations have insisted that the overwhelming majority of Jews — often as high as 95% — are Zionists, powerful evidence that anti-Zionism was a form of antisemitism.

But there was a glaring lack of data to back this up.

Despite the absolute deluge of surveys polling American Jews, it seemed as though nobody wanted to ask whether they actually considered themselves to be Zionists.

What women on the left already knew before the files came out is that men can imagine a world of class consciousness (Chomsky), a universe more expansive than ever before known (Hawking), a world where you can live forever (Attia) but not a world where women are fully human.

Córy Doctorow with another verbal bullseye: pluralistic.net/2026/01/13/n...
I'm sorry. As a technology writer, I'm supposed to be telling you that this bet will some day pay off, because one day we will have shoveled so many words into the word-guessing program that it wakes up and learns how to actually do the jobs it is failing spectacularly at today. This is a proposition akin to the idea that if we keep breeding horses to run faster and faster, one of them will give birth to a locomotive. Humans possess intelligence, and machines do not. The difference between a human and a word-guessing program isn't how many words the human knows.

I'm sorry. I know that when we talk about "digital sovereignty," we're obliged to talk about how we can build more data-centres that we can fill up with money-losing chips from American silicon monopolists in the hopes of destroying as many jobs as possible while blowing through our clean energy goals and enshittifying as much of our potable water as possible.
