For the first time, I see Western media report on Gaza without mention of October 7th, of hostages, of kidnappings. It took years and a hundred thousand exterminated people, genocide, concentration camps, & brutal ethnic cleansing before much Western media dared to suggest the truth: Israel is evil.

I thought as I got older and more in control, that I'd be less overwhelmed and anxious. Boy, was I wrong.

Dunked a rusk into my coffee and didn't notice that a part broke off and was laying in there right up until I took the last gulp and got a nasty mouthful of mushy mess. Somewhere out there, @granthinds.com must have thought he heard his name hauntingly whispered on the wind.

photograph of a protester in a clash with police, lifting the visor of a riot cop and poking him in both eyes at the same time with his index and middle finger and thereby becoming my all-time favourite guy.

"Masculine Energy"

Panel 1: Mark Zuckerberg stands on the stage at a Meta all-hands meeting, wearing a little chain and a shirt that says "Cool Dude." "I think our company could use more Masculine Energy," he says into a mic. In the crowd, an employee raises their hand. "Excuse me, Mr. Zuckerberg," the person asks. Panel 2: The person stands up, asking, "By "Masculine Energy," do you mean a mature definition where men in power use their relative strength to protect and uplift those less privileged?" Panel 3: The person continues, "…or a more childish definition where men in power are free to be aggressive and harm others without being held accountable?" Panel 4: Zuck stands silent for a beat. Panel 5: "You're all fired," he says.

in my experience the genuine male feminists are just like, nice to women and treat them normally and don’t start podcasts or seek awards for it. performative behavior should always be a red flag.

It occurs to me that South Africa's lawyers need to get on this too because the new rules promote hate speech, which is in contravention of the Prevention And Combating Of Hate Crimes And Hate Speech Act Of 2023.

it genuinely sucks that basically nothing on the internet works well anymore. search? barely works. social media? filled with garbage engagement-bait designed to game the algorithm. news websites? pages that refresh at random or so covered in video ads that it’s impossible to read stories

There are plenty of resources out there for parents to figure out what's represented in a show. Proactively erasing people is simply indulging those who have just that bigoted desire - "I don't want that type of person visible." Maybe the uncomfortable conversation with your kid is why you think so.

This is why I cannot stand the unserious folks who show up at game industry events with financial literacy "games". They stand there, confident they're righteous, gurning and preening as though understanding compound interest will undo generations of exploitation.

A colonial state is Israel. It would be a historical delusion to deny this. It has nothing to do with self defence, when their government cabinet authorized an extension of the Golan development, a strip of Syrian land that is currently being annexed little by little by the Zionist country.

UnitedHealthcare has killed more Americans than George W. Bush killed Iraqis & Afghanis combined. Our healthcare system has become an evil so enormous that it is turning murderers into folk heroes.

I have a beloved cis het kid in my extended family who needed puberty blockers when she was 7 to stop her tipping into puberty way too early and it saved her. I am on hormones because I'm perimenopausal and it's saved me. Trans kids (and adults) should have the same rights and life-saving access.
