1/12 Consciousness and attention in honeybees
This study provides evidence of consciousness-like states in bees, revealing strong and fascinating parallels with vertebrate awareness. I will try to explain it in a few "tweets".

Look man I don’t think the people being poisoned by data centers really care if you remove the generated assets before shipping, and I don’t really care if you “only” use the machine that stole my shit and convinced teens to off themselves for internal PowerPoints.

But "nobody tells us what to write", say the journalists who remain.
Well no. You can just see who still has a job and who gets a promotion, and who doesn't get their contracts renewed.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

I wrote about NYT, CNN, and ABC’s casual acceptance that US dictates and Trump’s arbitrary use of American violence against Venezuela is somehow a form of “international” law. It’s not, and US media should stop implying and/or outright lying that it is.
US Media Rushes to Manufacture Legal Legitimacy for Trump’s Venezuela Oil Tanker Piracy
Venezuela oil exports are not “black market” and US sanctions are not “international sanctions.” Why does our media keep saying otherwise?

An important point to come out of the Sandie Peggie case is that 'gender critical' employees can't take matters into their own hands and confront trans employees. If they do that it is likely to be harassment/ bullying/ a hate incident.

if you wanna know how untrustworthy our press is just look at the way they're claiming that transphobic nurse won her case when she lost on all counts but won a minor technicality on one issue.
it's not even spin. it's just straight up lying about what actually happened.

the press in this country don't just set the agenda. they report their own version of reality, and because they all do it in lockstep, so many people never hear what is actually happening
The response to the Fife/Peggie trial establishing it as a win for Zelda from Terrahawks reminds me of the response to the EHRC Labour report where three procedural failings made the party worse than the Nazis.

Hong Kong fire and Grenfell are just alike. Fire spreading through unsafe building materials installed due to penny-pinching, killing dozens. One difference: before the HK fire is even out three executives at contractors have been arrested, eight years after Grenfell no-one has been arrested.

If you don't live in France, it's hard to really grasp how deeply islamophobic and racist its institutions still are, to this day. They're happy to let you work for them or to consume your cultural goods, but they don't like it when you're *too* arab.
We were invited to screen Still Playing at Amiens Jail in France as part of the cultural activity
They asked me to take off my Kufiya claming its religious symbol
I explained it’s part of my culture worn by people regardless of their religion
I refused to take it off & the screening was cancelled
