Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

After years of enduring frogs (pepe etc) used as a banner for the most unlovable lonely godforsaken vile human parodies to justify abortion through existence, I adore the fact that frogs are now a joyful symbol of resistance through making fascists look like stupid fucking miserable losers.

Thread. This is horrifying. I hadn't even *thought* about unscrupulous professors using AI to generate text books and *teaching students incorrect/false material* which said students will then *go out into the world believing and ACTING on*. In a medical or care field, this is truly terrifying. 😳

This woman is in a nursing program & the entire textbook for her anatomy class is wrong because it was written by a professor who used chatgpt to generate the images & possibly the text. She complained to the prof, then the university— they’ve done NOTHING about it.

i’d love for cis folks to remember what the nyt, atlantic, guardian, daily mail, times of london, ny post, cnn, wall street journal, & economist took from your transgender neighbors & loved ones before the next time you consider giving them money or listening to a word they say.

It’s almost like when you don’t have a rabidly trans-hostile media ecosystem, people generally support human rights.

lens.monash.edu/@politics-so...

A poll, commissioned by Equality Australia in the first quarter of 2025, found that:
• 86% agree or strongly agree that government and opposition should not politicise trans issues for political gain
• 89% agree or strongly agree that LGBT people deserve to live with dignity and respect
• 91% agree or strongly agree that trans people should have the freedom and choice to live their lives in the way that makes them happy
• 81% agree of strongly agree that trans people deserve the same rights and protections as other
Australians.

anyone who tunes in gets to see funny signs, joyful crowds and shit like “an enormous constitution being carried to the White House”

nerd: hey fellas, i hear alot of calls for abolishing police. but how will we stay safe?

buff shirtless bald guy on laptop:
King, police abolition is not about defunding every department instantly. It's about a gradual process o strategically reallocating resources, funding and responsibility away from police and toward community based models of safety, support and prevention. The people who respond to crises in our community should be people who are best equipped to deal with those crisis.
insanely buff guy on couch with laptop:
Friend I want to echo that last statement and dig down a little further. Crime isn't random. Most off the time, it happens when someone has been unable to meet their basic needs through other means. By shifting money away from police and toward services that actually meet those needs, we'll be able to get to a place where we won't need to rob banks.

jacked dude in gray tee shirt at a desktop pc:
Couldn't have said it better myself, King! This is bigger than just police brutality; it's about how the prison industrial complex, the drug war, immigration law and the web of policy, law and culture that forms our criminal justice system has destroyed millions o lives, and torn apart families. Cops don't prevent crime, they cause it, through ongoing violent disruption of our communities.

People outside Alaska need to realize:
Typhoon Halong in Western Alaska has caused perhaps the first, big interregional climate change driven displacement in North America. We need sustained attention/resources on recovery to keep Halong victims from suffering as their worlds are turned upside down.

Griffin @alnus-sitchensis.bsky.social · 1d

I appreciated national media covering it, but the headlines with just the number missing/rescued didn't get at it - nearly 2,000 people have been displaced from their homes. With the cost to rebuild, only temporary shelter, and no clear commitments from the feds/state to find a long-term solution

The shorter games with worse graphics made by less people discourse is starting again and the nuance lost in this conversation is: we absolutely CAN make big, hyper-realistic games, sustainably. The problem -- and the money drain -- is executive pay, leadership overreach, mismanagement, and whims.

"What are you gonna do, set me on fire?"

Woman doused friend in fuel, set him alight for misogynistic comment, court hears

Her anger then flared when Mr Loader told her she should stay in the kitchen making scones where she belonged, and not to go drinking with boys.

She left the table where they were drinking to collect a five-litre container of petrol from her garage, and poured it on Mr Loader before waving around her lighter.

Mr Loader said, "Go on, do it," before Walpole set him on fire.
