i love deliberately ignoring e-mails from predatory journals asking me to do stuff for free and seeing their increasingly desperate (and frankly rude) follow-ups

"For all of Segal’s assertions about how the local Jewish community was being conflated with the state of Israel and blamed for Israel’s action, it was her testimony that insisted on the link between them, as if any criticism of Israel’s actions constituted antisemitism" Read to the kicker on this🔥

You'd almost think Israel was doing something bad.

this doesn't even have the full context which makes it funnier

witnessing the birth of a new all timer post is such a beautiful thing

prepare to have your daughter accused of being a boy and face demands that her gentials be inspected if the dad on the other team thinks that she fouled his special snowflake too hard

The ban is heinous for what it does to transgender athletes. But if you think cisgender girls and young women won’t be caught up in the fallout, too, you are woefully ignorant

"outsider politics" and it's far-right grifters who are regurgitating the exact regressive, racist ideas that form the basis of our entire society

RSPCA lays animal cruelty charges a year after Andgar Piggery video released

Brianna Ghey found safety online. She found acceptance and support, and reasons to go on living. She was murdered by her actual classmates, who hated her for existing in her own body. Anything else is a lie.

Mark Grimshaw@markgrimshawtism.bsky.social · 2mo ago

At this point, I genuinely believe the entire public is being actively gaslit by both the media, and Esther Ghey herself, into forgetting that Brianna Ghey was murdered, by people she knew from school, in real life, who were partly influenced by transphobia, fuelled by the media and politicians.

"Defeat them in the marketplace of ideas." They don't have ideas. They don't have arguments. They don't have beliefs. They just have performance which requires you to adhere to the social contract so they can profit off you as content. Getting their shit rocked is the only language they hear.

I know violence doesn't solve anything and all that, but these pieces of shit rely on the social contract to protect them and their bigotry and where's that gotten us? Fascism and genocide. Maybe the best thing for them is to beat the ever loving shit out of these edgelords so they think twice.

I don't want to pretend this *isn't* shocking or ghastly but, like, when digital media experts are expressing concern generally about the data a game like Pokemon Go is collecting from day one, this is precisely the kind of end game they are thinking about.

Schera Wyss 💀 SLUG WORLD 2026@scherawyss.bsky.social · 2mo ago

This might be one of the most insane scandals in game history When Pokemon Go players scan PokeStops, theyve been unknowingly building a detailed visual model of the world which is being sold to a military contractor to build a no-GPS positioning for the new generation of unmanned killing machines

literally every single guideline about using genAI in research is like "AI will save you hours, days, weeks of reading time!" and then immediately add "but you need to carefully check it's not just making shit up and fabricating data and citations". so what's the point? 🥴

“Some women might not be comfortable sharing spaces with trans women!” We settled the question of whether a majority’s personal feelings or beliefs should inhibit a minority’s rights when equality laws were introduced. And the answer is: no, that doesn’t get to happen. They have to deal with it
