📚 One of the Nazis’ first major book burnings targeted the world’s first Trans+ clinic, where more than 20,000 books and pieces of research into Trans+ lives were erased. For #BannedBooksWeek, from our archive with @smartypantsmarty.com 👇

This Nazi book burning happened at world’s first trans clinic
Book burnings are a historic image many of us recognise. But the connection to the transgender community is little known

My Internet is currently out, and my groceries for the first half of October are coming in today. I need $127 for the second half of this month's groceries. If you can, please donate any amount you can; it is appreciated, and please repost. I won't be able to be active today due to no Internet.

Are you a SO Energy user with a Smart Meter? Keep an eye on your monitored usage - suddenly my daily usage went up (erroneously) x4 for 12 days this month! Cust. Care (sic) eventually told me this is a known issue, which is been worked on. I'm hoping that the issue doesn't feed through to the Bill.

my little pac story was at a dguk meet and greet. i wanted to tell masato yoshino that he was my favourite wrestler and pac offered to translate. he turns to yoshino and in broken english shouts “YOU. HIM. FAVOURITE WRESTLER” and yoshino is very appreciative and shakes my hand.

I think of this as Pac's tree after he did that video package in lockdown. Weird juxtaposition seeing this next to the report about his death

England is named after the Anglo-Saxons. However, things could have gone very differently:

our universe:

England is named after a Germanic tribe called the Angles.

The language of England is called "English", and speakers of this language are called "Anglophone".

In another universe

Sexland is named after a Germanic tribe called the Saxons.

The language of Sexland is called "Sexish", and speakers of this language are called "Saxophone".

My best friend growing up has been to a heritage day at the church we grew up near and sent me a photo on display of us helping to weed the cremation burial area I'm heritage 😂

Pals I see you sharing links to London Daily & need you to know it's AI bullshit. The Louise Michel is real, Banksy really funded it, but that started in 2020 & the LD link people are sharing is timestamped to today but written as if it's 2020 & elides all the actual journalism about it.
Screenshot reads as follows: 

Welcome to London Daily, an innovative and unique news experiment driven by advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technology.

Our AI system conducts extensive research and fact-checking, presenting a non-biased and diverse perspective on each topic. It meticulously filters out biased or manipulated content, offering you factual summaries essential for your knowledge as an informed citizen.

Our aim is not to replace mainstream media but to provide you with succinct summaries of key headlines, encouraging you to explore these stories in greater depth through your favorite mainstream news sources.

As a privately funded, non-profit initiative, our mission is to provide a concise and comprehensive overview of current events as part of a broader project to enhance fact-checking and AI journalism for journalists and publishers worldwide.

We are building a tool that will help professional journalists and traditional mainstream news outlets enhance their news delivery, boost their readership, ease their workload, and lower their costs while increasing their productivity—all aimed at improving content reliability and readability.

100% the vibe that Lanterns poster gives off
A two panel cartoon the first showing someone peeing at a urinal, and a second person walking past.  Second panel shows rhe second person peeing at the Urinal next to the first.  Underneath that is the Lanterns poster with Hal Jordan looking straight forward and John Stewart giving him the angry side eye, the ol’ hairy eyeball.

A cast iron drain pipe going down the side of a white-painted house.  A crest of red feathers and a bright orange beak made from something solid have been attached around it.  It looks remarkably like "Feathers McGraw", the evil criminal penguin from The Wrong Trousers.

about $300 off the second half of September Rent. This Rover Gig should cover a lot of the other end of the month bills but still another $150 or so for those and the 1st is of course right around the corner and gosh I hope this job gets off the ground SOON.
