Israel has destroyed the "ceasefire" in hours.

It is murdering Palestinians, and maintaining its illegal siege.

Not a ceasefire.

Whenever I see men complain about the male loneliness crisis or unique emotional/psychological issues faced by men, it’s very clear that they just don’t see women as full people capable of experiencing the exact same emotions they do

yeah man, trans reporters, whom the ny times derogatorily calls "trans activists" so that normies won't listen to them, have been reporting on ADF activity in the UK since 2018.

bigotry in journalism makes you late to the story.

Max Colbert @mc00.bsky.social · 2d

Really important NYT investigation finds that the ADF has been working with Reform, 'courting the party since at least 2024' and that the British arm 'orchestrated Mr Farage’s appearance in Congress, reaching out to ask if he would like to give evidence on censorship'

BLOOD IN THE MACHINE was given early access to survey data pulled from interviews with 1,400 Californians on their thoughts about AI.

Among the findings:

-59% think AI will primarily benefit corporations and the wealthy
-55% are more concerned than excited
-*70%* want strong AI laws

How California feels about AI

Spoiler: Not great. Plus, how AI is raising our electricity bills, the chatbot therapist that failed to intervene in a suicide, and what lays behind Grok's personas.

This rock is stuck in a big chunk of concrete in a dirt/gravel path that I figure used to be a paved area or maybe part of a foundation. I look for it every day, which takes a minute. It's a delight to find it. I enjoy being the only person on earth who knows where it is. It's this or go to therapy.

I'm seeing friends go back in the closet and my heart hurts for them. They shouldn't need to do this. This is so awful. Queer and trans people are always made to choose between safety and freedom. We deserve both, but many of us get neither. I ache for my people.

There were at least two ceasefires under Biden! In which more than five times as many living Israeli hostages were released in exchange for 240 Palestinians! Has everyone forgotten this?

She was taken hostage by Palestinians 55 years ago. Now she’s an anti-Zionist activist.

Catherine Hodes was taken hostage by the PFLP at age 13 while traveling from Israel to the U.S. The experience sparked a lifelong commitment to Palestinian liberation.
