Remember that the ppl coming up with these things choose to operate from the position that Black ppl don't actually feel pain.

“In nursing homes, neonatal units, and ICU wards, researchers are racing to turn pain—medicine’s most subjective vital sign—into something a camera or sensor can score as reliably as blood pressure.”

AI is changing how we quantify pain

Artificial intelligence is helping health-care providers better assess their patients’ discomfort.

Everyone,

I’m in a dire situation.

Daycare has given me so many extensions but I’m almost 2 weeks behind on paying it.

Can anyone PLEASE help me with it so I can pay it tomorrow?

Do me a favor and boost and share this even if you can’t donate.

Hey everyone.

I have a simple request and it’s for daycare.

I owe $85 for last week where I overpaid the previous week and $125 for this week.

The total comes to be $210.

Please help if you can.

Everyone, I’m months behind on this car payment and behind on daycare.

My car might be taken soon and I don’t want that to happen.

I was raped in July, lost an ectopic pregnancy, lost my job and got Covid for the 7th time.

My car payment is $360 and daycare is $210.

PLEASE help if you can.

"I think the Democratic base feels like there is a disconnect. We hear you, when you did your 25-hour speech, I was like go Cory, I love this, that is amazing.

And then there's a photo shoot with you with Benjamin Netanyahu, and I was just like, what in the actual fuck? It was heartbreaking."

I watched this and thought one point by Astra Taylor was super interesting. How the admin is building an infrastructure of bigotry w/ an ample availability of jobs and the current conditions being created make it more likely more people are desperate for jobs & student debt relief.

It's not torture unless it comes from the Torture region of France. Otherwise it's just sparkling mistreatment

Stop saying she was tortured. You are the only one saying it. She was mistreated and abused. That does not meet the legal definition. Just stop spreading lies

Did Israeli authorities mistreat Greta Thunberg after flotilla arrest? Here's what we know

Israeli authorities arrested Thunberg and more than 400 other activists who were part of the Global Sumud Flotilla in early October 2025.

"Enhanced interrogation" omg I'm old enough to remember when they put that one out.

Saralegal @saralegal.bsky.social · 53m

Technically, it's only torture if the culprit wasn't the U.S. or any of our allies. Otherwise, it's just sparkling Enhanced Interrogation.

I honestly cannot believe the whole center console on cars thing isn’t illegal and stigmatized. The messages, the alerts, the notifications — it’s all absolutely, positively dangerous and unnecessary.

joesferatu🦇🔱 @24fps.bsky.social · 5h

i love that my car flashes a message to keep my eyes on the road on a screen in the center console that i have to dismiss

"sorry officer, i didn't see that pedestrian there. my car was yelling at me to keep my eyes on the road"

this is exactly the same shit as "stop saying you warned us"

"nothing ever happened from signing up for protests online"

"all white people aren't racist!"

"saying protect vulnerable identities is virtue signaling!"

all the same camp

This guy was outed by actual Lakota people as not Lakota, who blocks Indigenous folk, who grifts in the nam of but doesn't contribute to Lakota people. Anyone following "Lakota Man" doesn't actually care about Indigenous people. Mountains of Receipts out there.

Dr. Kat Napaaqtuk❄️ @napaaqtuk.bsky.social · 2d

I am seeing a lot of people reposting Lakota Man today bc it's Indigenous Peoples Day. A reminder that he is not well liked amongst many (most?) Natives on social media. Many of us blocked him a long time ago. Some of the reasons why are in this article.

Who is LakotaMan, the user behind one of the most popular Native American accounts on X?

John Martin is adored by white X users—but infamous among Native and Indigenous communities.
