Is it a coincidence, do we think, that transphobia most strongly took hold among members of a ruling class educated in a school system best characterised as one of organised, institutional child abuse?

One reason transphobia took hold so firmly in Britain is that a sizable number of British parents hate their kids and love having an excuse to abuse them. 'Fighting the trans social contagion' gives them that excuse.

Then it's not a fucking ceasefire, is it.
Since the ceasefire took effect one month ago, Israeli attacks have killed at least 242 Palestinians and injured 622.
How many times has Israel violated the Gaza ceasefire? Here are the numbers

To relax between big projects, I play around a lot in Photoshop and sometimes make imaginary products. If you've read Sandman Slim you'll recognize the band. I took the sheep skeleton shot in the desert somewhere east (?) of LA.

I have tried, and failed, to get treatment for this for decades, because my word doesn't mean shit and healthcare doesn't care. I have to bring a white guy to speak for me, and suddenly my condition is real.
Tell me again how the NHS isn't inherently full of misogynoir. Lie to me.

Goodnight from Justine Tuttle, wondering how cold the nights have to get before the chimes of the phantom ice cream van stops being heard. Goodnight from Grace Nash, tying ribbons of prayer to the bare wooden bones of the wild cherry trees on Mill Lane. Goodnight from Hookland.

🔬🧠Brain‑training games for LC cognitive dysfunction? The RECOVER‑NEURO trial shows they don’t address the underlying pathology. Games can’t fix inflammation, microvascular issues, or neuro‑immune dysfunction - we need interventions that understand the biology not candy crush 🍭

I feel like Kahlo would have hated this, just as she would've hated the commercialization of her works and even her likeness.
Upcoming Kahlo auction could fetch up to $60 million. Mexican art historians explain why
Frida Kahlo’s painting “El sueño (La cama)” is expected to fetch between $40 million and $60 million at auction, potentially making it the most expensive work by a female or Latin American artist.

We even have a longstanding art protocol for doing this. If you ever see Title (after Somebody) that means the artist is directly responding to Somebody’s art. It’s an ongoing conversation.
I counter the claim that "AI steals just the way human artists steal." We do not. Artists engage relationally with sources rather than severing them for computational processing. Computers are not people. Comparing generative tools to artists is a dehumanizing act.

Why can't journalists do basic fact checking? Defamation suits have to be brought within 12 months of the offending publication. Donald Trump can't sue the BBC, its just bluster.

Survey they just quoted on the radio said that 10% more people think the BBC is biased to the Left than think it's biased to the right. So, it's time for *checks notes* the Royalist loving, Farage loving, BBC to shift Right, apparently. You know, for balance and neutrality.

I’m catching a matinee of Bugonia. When I ordered popcorn, the guy asked if I wanted butter. When I said no he said, “Good. You get the stuff I just popped. The butter people get yesterday’s because they can’t tell the difference. Lesson learned.

This is exciting, particularly the bit about how it doesn’t seem to trigger resistance. I hope this does provide some new antibiotics, that could potentially be incredible. Also, it’s kind of adorable that they weren’t even looking for a new antibiotic.
If this bears out this is perhaps the biggest health innovation since mRNA vaccines which like lol how crazy. This science interrupted the biological production of antibiotic producing mold and isolated an early molecule in the compound. That rules.
