like when journalists actually speak truth to power then the persecution of journalists is met with outrage by the public, as we see in Gaza

Sophie @sophiefrommars.bsky.social · 21h

Freedom of press is obviously vital to democracy, and also when journalists spend years telling you the kind of person you are isn't human doesn't count and shouldn't exist & then they report "aaa! the people who've been paying my checks this whole time are coming after journalists!!" it's uh, hm..

Macron's solution? Just put him back! He probably didn't even mean to resign, he just fell out of office give the lil guy a hand

If people haven't been keeping up w the situation, France had a landslide left victory last year but Macron refuses to assemble a leftist government so has been doing a revolving door boss rush of neoliberal tulpas and after the recent intense protests this guy lasted less time than Liz Truss lol

There were children in this country who were almost certainly driven to suicide by the decisions borne of hatred and indifference that our Health Secretary Wes Streeting made. He was told this would be a consequence of his actions and did it anyway. There aren't words strong enough to condemn him

It is kind of funny i aged out of Gregg Araki being my favorite filmmaker. Of course he is still fundamental to me and i think Nowhere and Mysterious Skin are two of the greatest films ever made, but the fact is i got older and the characters he is concerned with never pass 30

Above and Below Titan's Atmosphere #5 - From Val Klavans (valklavans.bsky.social) - https://flic.kr/p/j1L9L1

On the left is a true color image of Titan. The moon's north polar hood is visible in this view. The image on the right is a representation of what it would look like if you could see past Titan's atmosphere and down to its surface. The darker areas are vast hydrocarbon sand dunes and seas.

Both images were taken by Cassini's camera system, the Imaging Science Subsystem on January 1, 2014, during Cassini's Titan (T-97) Flyby: wp.me/p2WQE3-8S.

These images were taken on January 01, 2014 and received on Earth January 02, 2014. The camera was pointing toward TITAN at approximately 89,126 miles (143,435 kilometers) away, and the images were taken using the CL1, RED, BL1, CB3 and GRN filters.

Born this way as an ideological line was never strong enough imo. Conversion therapy is torture, that's the reality, and you shouldn't torture people

“The existence of even one ex gay dismantles the central lie of homosexuality, that it is an innate characteristic from birth and therefore should have human rights awarded to it.”

Same shit different era.

Chloe Cole: The existence of even one detransitioner dismantles the central lie of transgenderism, that it is an innate characteristic from birth and therefore should have human rights awarded to it.

Twitter wasn't a glorious paradise by any means, Trump used it quite heavily as a platform for his propaganda and Twitter sold itself to Elon Musk, but X is notably an asset of Trump's government

One of the reasons I insistently call it X and not Twitter is because X is quite literally a propaganda platform run by Elon Musk and heavily utilized by the Trump administration and that is notably distinct from Twitter

Police in Cornwall do not arrest Palestine Action protesters.

A spokesperson for the Network for Police Monitoring (Netpol) said:

“The actions of Cornwall & Devon Police today exposes the policing priorities of the Metropolitan Police and this government"

www.falmouthpacket.co.uk/news/2551788...

Cornwall police choose not to arrest Palestine Action protesters

It was in stark contrast to a similar demo outside Truro Cathedral in July when all eight silent protesters were arrested.
