Today marks the start of the 16 Days of Activism to End Gender-Based Violence, an annual campaign running from 25 Nov to 10 Dec.

Across ISD, our teams are expanding work on gendered harms, from foreign information operations and hate and extremism to nonconsensual intimate deepfake tools.

Changi General Hospital: While a worthwhile workshop no doubt, there are glaring issues with the marketing for this poster. Honestly, the title sounds like a preparation for suicide/death workshop, which is extremely inappropriate and can be triggering for those with MI

Excellent book. If only incels and manosphericals could spend their time hating and dismantling billionaires as much as they hate and want to k#ll women.
In bright, large, capitalised red fonts, with a menacing slash across the word "hate"; a picture of the stylised cover of the book: MEN WHO HATE WOMEN with the subtitles The Extremism Nobody Is Talking About (in black font) followed by the author's name: LAURA BATES In large red capitalised fonts. Below the Author's Name is a quote by Gloria Steinem saying "Laura Bates is showing us the path to both intimate and global survival". The book's spine is covered by a National Library Board sticker, obscuring some words such as the subtitle, author's name and Steinem's quote. The book is held by a hand against a backdrop of a white table with rattam chairs around. I was reading this at a prata restaurant for breakfast.

It’s World #AMR Awareness Week.

Did you know misusing antibiotics leads to drug resistance and side effects?

A graphic with the title “Test your antibiotic knowledge!” followed by a pill and question-mark icon. Below, a speech bubble labelled “False” with a red X reads: “Antibiotics are safe to use without a prescription.” Another speech bubble labelled “True” with a green checkmark reads: “Only use antibiotics if prescribed. Taking antibiotics when you don’t need them can lead to resistance and side effects.”

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.

Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

#Pluribus (E3) honestly feels like They are attempting to gentle parent w/o boundaries, an angry, angsty 40-year-old toddler called Carol. Going overboard to "respect" Carol's absurd demands to look benevolent, prosocial and consent-respecting is an ironic juxtaposition of their forced takeover

I do not appreciate this timeline where I have knowledge that the President of the United States, Donald J Trump, had once performed fellatio on former POTUS Bill Clinton. This was knowledge forced upon my being, this was non-consented information thrust to me on multiple online sites lmao

Extremely upset to find that Sephora's reformulated and changed the shades for its Best Skin Ever foundations. The original I'm using is 11.5P and it doesn't exist in the new one, but both new 12P and 15.5N are a close match. BSE was my holy grail perfect foundation and OFC they had to go fk it up

100% this. I keep seeing people in comment sections of kids who commit crimes and dogwhistle negative comments about "gentle parenting" when these people don't know the first thing about gentle parenting - or even parenting, for that matter.
A tweet by @thecimonalisa on Twitter/X saying "If you hear gentle parenting and automatically assume it means a lack of discipline, that's because you equate abuse to discipline. You should unpack that in therapy"

Create stunningly ridiculous rubbish images with Adobe AI! It's so terrible, we made a trash piece ourselves and used it in an ad to try to hook you into this stupidity as well! Aren't we amazing? Now buy our AI-ed Adobe product. Like, now.

(description of issues in alt text)
A Facebook ad from Adobe Photoshop promoting its generative AI “Text to Image” feature. The image shows a small floating island shaped like half a coconut, with colorful tropical-style houses, palm trees, and boats. The image has 21 circled flaws marked in blue and numbered in red, each exposing common AI rendering issues. The first group of errors involves object placement and environmental logic: palm trees grow sideways or directly through rooftops, leaves intersect in impossible ways, and boats or docks blend unnaturally into the coconut shell or the water beneath. Shadows are inconsistent, with lighting suggesting multiple sun directions, and reflections in the water are either missing or incomplete. The second group covers architectural and geometric problems. Roofs are misaligned or overlapping at nonsensical angles, window frames clip into walls, railings and stairs vanish midair, and entire structures float without support. Many walls are skewed or melted into each other, creating impossible buildings that ignore perspective and physics. The final group deals with texture and material inconsistencies. Surfaces like grass, wood, and metal merge incoherently, ropes or wires fade into nothing, and the coconut edge appears blurred and irregular. Overall, the ad’s “showcase” of AI image generation instead highlights the chaotic, illogical, and error-ridden nature of generative AI art—full of warped geometry, mismatched lighting, and physically impossible design.

surrounded by a clearly mentally ill woman neighbour screaming like a maniac every few minutes, hammering, and drilling. This fucking place is driving me insane. When I say the show Wall to Wall triggered the fuck out of me, this is why.

had a haircut that chopped off the last of the damaged, previously bleached and coloured hair and my virgin head of hair is much more softer and uh, curlier now. Paid RM29 for someone to not layer and it's a bit weird but i feel so relieved and lighter tbh

Congratulations to Zohran Mamdani!

www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...
From 9m ago 02.38 GMT Zohran Mamdani wins New York City mayoral race Zohran Mamdani will be the 111th mayor of New York City, defeating former governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa and making history as the city’s first Muslim mayor and, at 34, its youngest in more than a century. His victory marks a stunning rise for from little-known state lawmaker to leader of the nation’s biggest city. Mamdani has held a steady lead in the race since he pulled of a shock upset over Cuomo, the former three-term governor, in June’s Democratic primary. Current mayor Eric Adams, who had campaigned for a second term as an independent, dropped out of the race in September.
