Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

It was an honour and a privilege to be welcomed to Crossroads Women's Centre in Kentish Town and meet with women who have been fighting for change for so many years. The work women do is too often ignored and devalued - I gave my promise that as MP here I'll stand with them.

I know things are bad out there, but today I successfully defended my dissertation (Reasoning Chains in Large Language Models) and earned my PhD! You all, I’ve been working on this since I was at Twitter! It’s been a long road and I’m so proud of myself.

i tried to just ignore it. i really, really tried—none of my bloody business. but finally... i caved. i had to know why almost every woman that approached my friend asked him "how's your little peewee doing?" it's a cat. "little peewee" is a cat.

still can't get over the fact that gene hackman died alone in his house a week after his wife died in the other room and the dogs starved to death and nobody knew about it or even gave a fuck. sorry—just trying to sort the importance of fame and fortune in life... and failing.

Y'all his lower image is AI slop, stop falling for this trash (and call out folks for using it). The real Google Earth imagery is amazing but does not "pop".... do better Prof. Rosenow. AI is a lie.

i was friends wi' eddie money. he would ring me up, we'd go hang at the beverly garland hotel on lankershim in north hollywood, and try to drink ourselves sober. one time i was explaining what a "wanker" is and we concluded "jerk off" was basically the same. then he said: "...like ted nugent."

• tax corporations—force them to pay or freeze their assets. • convert that revenue into universal basic income for everyone in your country. • turn the tables on capitalism—make companies have to woo YOU to take a job, not vice versa. • fund science and education instead of war and war machines.
