I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

America.gov launched today--a DOGE initiative to use AI to deliver public services. Child lying facedown on a frozen lake as the image accompanying the question: "How can I invest in my child's future" is just incredible. Way to go AI
Image of a child lying facedown on a froze lake.  above is the portal where you ask AI questions about government services.  the question matching this image is:  "How can I invest in my child's future?"

it really needs to be more openly discussed that all the people advocating for “we should be fine with losing basic skills if we get more systems thinking” are men, meaning socialized to expect to be able to offload basic tasks of daily living onto a wife as part of their compensation for existing

So today, honor the memory of the guy who wanted to “make the world a little bit better for my having been here.” Go do something worthwhile today. Create something. Collaborate with others. Read something. Or go be silly simply because you can. Jim Henson would want you to.

I had not seen this clip where Tammy Duckworth advises Democrats to "not impeach anybody," "get back to work" and "allow" Donald Trump to "save face" and I would just like to remind the senator from IL that the federal government took 4,000 Chicagoans and murdered a 38-year-old father last fall.

The international chess Federation banned trans women from playing women's chess. CHESS. It's not about fairness. The fairness argument is intended to radicalize people into more violent forms of transphobia.

A little narwhal in the style of a medieval curio, mounted on a panel. Two ideas were overlapping in my mind: Narwhals’ tusks can distinguish changes in water temperature and chemistry; the horns of unicorns purify water and detect poison. 🦄 - #SciArtSeptember Day 9: Ivory
A photo of a small narwhal sculpture on a patterned board. The narwhal is made from white clay and coloured to resemble ivory. The piece rests on a wooden table next to a penny, for scale.

There's a Meta campaign on heavy rotation in YouTube ads that leans on the nostalgic relationship people have with Facebook to leverage Meta AI and try and convince us it's both inevitable and good. Funny part is clips of people using the pedo glasses have been edited down to 1/10th of a second.
