Only 45 days until the petition to save disabled children’s rights closes. If everyone who has signed was able to get at least 3 more people to sign we could still make the target of 100,000. It just takes a moment and children can sign too. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...

Temperature Zero for Culture: Why Everything Is Starting to Look the Same

What 640 London shopping streets, 4,000 Billboard hits, a million films and synthetic AI personas tell us about why everything is flattening into sameness and how to regulate the algorithms behind it.

I finally managed to hack the NHS discharge of all discharges against all the odds. The last one, (2020) I wrote about, but even that was too surreal to publish yet. This latest one slipped so far into "surreal" even I'm not sure we have anything but the facade of an NHS left any more. /1

When EMI pulled funding on LIFE OF BRIAN days before shooting, the Pythons turned to a fan. George Harrison put up around £3 million of his own money to make the film, simply because he wanted to see it. Eric Idle called it "the world's most expensive cinema ticket."

About time. It’s what they were elected to do. Once they had a mandate THEY should have understood they had the power to use it.

“So grave is the scale, nature, systematic character, and transnational reach of these atrocities against women and girls, that a number of them may reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity.” www.yacnews.com/epstein-file...

UN experts: Epstein files may meet crimes against humanity threshold. No independent international investigation has followed.

UN experts formally assessed the Epstein files and applied one of the most serious categories in international criminal law. Governments were put on notice. The US has not acted.

"the cherishing of antipathies is a luxury for which [people] ought willingly to pay, instead of transferring the hateful tax onto the victim" is such a bar, my god

Adam Selzer@adamchicago.bsky.social · 3mo ago

In 1872, the Chicago Evening Post published an absolutely brutal editorial mocking people who objected to sharing public spaces with Black people. Still some dated language but a remarkable piece. “Hire a carriage and you can sit all alone by your own sweet self for $2 an hour.”

1872 article reading, in part: “AYou do not like, reader, to sit by the side of a well-behaved negro in a theatre's dress circle? Very well; take a box. If your antipathies are not worth $5 extra, they are not very important. You do not like, fastidious madam, to sit by the side of "some offensive creature" in the car? Very well; hire a carriage, and you can sit all alone with your own sweet self for $2 an hour. But you cannot expect to charter and monopolize a Persian heaven on wheels for five cents, you know. You object, dear sir, to risk the chance of meeting… Fred. Douglass, Alexander Dumas, Minister Bassett, John Jones, or Jared Grey? Very well; you have an inalienable and God-given right to object. You can avoid these people by having your meals served in your room. Isn't your pet aversion worth a dollar to you? ... To insult people because of their color is bad enough; but it is mean and cowardly to make them pay the expenses of their own crucifixion. “. Likely by George Mclellan or his brother.
