India lost *millions* of people, there were people out on the streets begging for oxygen canisters and beds, Twitter turned into a bulletin board to find the same because the government abandoned the people, corpses were floating down rivers. & India forgave, forgot, and voted the same gov in.
there’s a thread on reddit right now called “was COVID really that bad?” and it is interesting to read people’s accounts five years out
there seems to be a collective trauma response where people (outside of healthcare workers) don’t remember how many people died
someone called it anticlimactic

Through out her life, Alice Wong was encouraged to feel like a burden, to just go away. She refused.
Disability is often the result of a "terminal disease." But people with disabilities can, and do, lead lives of dignity. Death should not be seen as the most noble or "dignified" option for them.

Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.

Food for thought: As families across the U.S. sit down for Thanksgiving dinner, it's hard not to think about the nutritionally inadequate slop that incarcerated people are fed every single day (including holidays).
It doesn’t just taste bad – it’s a public health concern 🧵

We fed dozens of MQ-9s to the Yemeni mountains for 2 straight years! Three SEALs drowned themselves in the Red Sea for no reason! US army guys got themselves crushed to death by a floating dock so Biden could get a headline in the NYT! Forest Service guys hid from the IDF rape gangs at Sde Teiman!
The United States expended 25% of its entire missile defense capacity to prevent Israel from facing consequences for its war of aggression against Iran! The US Navy pushed maintenance schedules back years to kill Yemenis on behalf of Israel! They poured F/A-18s into the Red Sea for Israel!
I don't want to directly quote tweet but there are apparently still people who think the US is somehow only "indirectly" involved in the genocide in Gaza. We've spent probably $50+ billion to make sure it happens! American soldiers have killed and died making sure it continues!

We all suspected this but it’s incredible to see a systematic study on the automation of caste bias in GPT-5. The harm is immense, especially when we consider India is already OpenAI’s second largest market. Screenshots of findings that will haunt me below www.technologyreview.com/2025/10/01/1...
OpenAI is huge in India. Its models are steeped in caste bias.

A failure to understand climate science is not the problem here.
The American regime opposes effective action on climate because renewable energy threatens to negate their ability to exert global dominance.
They will burn the world to the ground before voluntarily surrendering that power.

I noticed the issue when creating a bluesky account for a sibling, it was instantly suspended upon creation for spam. This was strange, because we hadn't sent a single post.

At the Israeli prison, US human rights defender Chris Smalls was physically assaulted by seven uniformed individuals. They choked him and kicked him in the legs.
We condemn this violence against Chris and demand accountability for the assault and discriminatory treatment he faced. #BreakTheSiege

So. I've been on field manual labor crews where most of my coworkers were convicts.
I've also worked with a lot of tech companies on automating farms.
And this press conference is incredible. Rollins hasn't the foggiest clue what she's on about.

Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."
