you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope!

Hello Bluesky! I'm asking for your usual solidarity and generosity. The amazing center SDCAS helping refugees in South London is threatened to shut down in this xenophobic era. It would mean the world to so many if you could help, and annoy the hell out of Farage, Musk and co in doing so! Thank you
Save Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers
We aim to raise funding to be able to continue the essential work that we do for asylum seekers and refugees living within Southwark.

there’s a lot of Discourse over what valid resistance is, armchair sophistry that makes it seem like fighting back is something only some people with special resources or skills can do.
it is, as we’re reminded by these big little actions, a matter of throwing whatever you got & seeing what sticks.

I’m sorry but the fact that Congress is about to throw immigrants under the bus at the very same time that countless immigrants in California are risking their lives to protect neighborhoods many of them could never aspire live in is breaking my brain in a whole new way.

we had a great 8 years of it being acceptable to be publicly queer but the right tapped into their hysteria and are trying to push us back decades. this is why the left warned of relying on rainbow capitalism because their support was about profit above all else. the solution is for us to not hide
New: Meta has deleted trans and nonbinary Messenger themes, as well as the blog posts announcing them. Happens the same week that it has changed its rules to allow users to say LGBTQ+ people are "mentally ill"

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️
Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

AI has an environmental problem. Here’s what the world can do about that.
The sprawling data centres that house AI servers churn out toxic electronic waste and are voracious consumers of electricity, which in most places is still produced from fossil fuels.

OpenAI doesn't report a single number for its climate impacts - not anywhere, in any way, shape or form.
It sounds kind of obvious but the fact that a company with such incredible electricity hunger isn't disclosing basic information about its energy consumption and associated emissions is v bad..
