9/11 victim Michael Massaroli’s son: "You do my dad's legacy & the legacy of all victims no honor using this tragedy to spread hate. I've had to spend 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers & sisters, people who don't look like them."

If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.
Richard Dawkins thinks AI is conscious cause he had a conversation with it, despite his career of railing at people who swore up and down they were talking to something that wasn't really there.
Capitalism is so insistent on stripping us of human connection.

Odyssey is a 173 minute film and the right is losing their shit over 16 minutes of diversity…
Furious that Chris Nolan would disregard historical accuracy in adapting The Odyssey by making a "movie" with "cameras" instead of memorizing the entire story and then going on a nationwide tour to sing it to us while tripping on ergotized barley

On the 5th August, the EHRC's Code of Practice becomes statutory guidance. It will make life even harder for many trans & non-binary people. It's unworkable & harmful. The Good Law Project is challenging & wants to hear from people affected by these exclusions. goodlawproject.org/discriminato...

on a similar tip, a welcoming and inclusive pub here in Edinburgh once found that someone had graffitied "GAYZ ONLEY" across their exterior, presumably upset about this aspect of their business. So the pub of course had a sign made, and rebrand themselves as that every June for pride month
Alex Plante 🐀👑@aplante.com · 3mo agothe one pride billboard in southern manitoba (rural bible belt region, one of the towns only just had their first-ever pride march last week) was vandalized a few days ago, so they made tshirts of it. lmfao gettem

Europe's Heatwave is Political

Watching BBC News and they just did 5 minutes with a doctor about how this heatwave is life threatening and the interviewer closed it with "well, it's just an opportunity to have ice cream for breakfast!!". Amazing clip of how the BBC seems just blissfully unaware of what is happening
I've been giving every delivery driver I've had come to my door a cold drink (like a can of coke from the fridge, etc.), and every single one of them has said I'm the first person to have done that. I think that's really shitty as a society.
I'm currently working a psychic fair and reflecting on how similar it is to managing the spicy shop: In both situations, when a customer tells me what they're into, the one thing I can never say in response is, "Ew."
does the eagle know its role in Prometheus's punishment or is it just showing up every day like "holy shit, free liver AGAIN??"
