As if things weren’t bad enough, Russian media is reporting that Kash Patel has arrived in Moscow. And a reminder he was paid by a Russian agent to participate in a documentary to spew disinformation and attack US agencies

“An astonishing theft of unprecedented proportions” and the “largest theft of labor in human history” is what a Microsoft executive privately said about GenAi as shown in newly unsealed court filings. And these court filings get worse. These execs knew all along the immense theft they committed.

Without wanting to sound like a conspiracy theorist. It definitely seems like disabled, ADHD, Autistic people are being fitted up so they can be blamed for society's ills. Being disabled isn't "trendy" but journalists attacking disabled people definitely seems to be a new trend. 1/2
Headline reads; young women, nicknamed sickfluencers are turning chronic illness into a lifestyle trend and entrenching a culture of economic inactivity

How having a disability became cool
Young women, nicknamed ‘sickfluencers’, are turning chronic illness into a lifestyle trend and entrenching a culture of economic inactivity

Young women are also more likely to get caught up in “social contagion” – the spontaneous spread of behaviours or emotions previously observed by sociologists in “outbreaks” of bulimia, self-harm and transgender ideology. What may have otherwise been transitory feelings are seized upon and obsessed over until they form a central pillar of a person’s identity. A chronic-illness influencer won’t want to get “better” any more than a female-bodied transgender person would want to re-identify with their sex.

As Andy Burnham makes his 1st Commons speech as PM today, I thought this worth a repost. Eleven months ago, I was invited to speak at the @politico.eu Labour Party conference fringe event and asked why the govt was so unpopular, & what I’d have advised them to do. Perhaps they were listening?

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.

Dolly Parton did what literally no techbro billionaire would even think of doing: filling her life with good deeds that make people mourn her when she dies. Not one of these assholes would even think of this, they are all right now completely and honestly baffled by the outpouring of love for her.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, in heaven. A dog with little wings runs towards her open arms. Off panel, a speech bubble reads “welcome to Heaven! Here is your dog!”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. She says, “where’s my cat?”
The third panel zooms out. There are dogs with little wings everywhere. Sarah says, “Where’s ANY of the cats?”
The fourth panel shows a circle of cats holding hands and dancing gleefully surrounded by flames in hell.

Post by @scottygb.bsky.social:

Channel 4 has announced documentary “The Great ADHD Myth?”

It “seeks to determine whether ADHD
is a genuine neurodevelopmental disorder, or a social construct.”

“While traits of ADHD undeniably exist – the question is why they exist. Is ADHD actually a neurodevelopmental disorder? Do people with ADHD have differently wired brains? Or does our world – with…processed food, and regimented education – serve as the catalyst for certain…patterns of behaviour?”
