On this International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we must commit to funding trauma-informed services, making the criminal justice system fit for purpose, and driving systemic change to end male violence.

All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.

I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail

DOGE 'doesn't exist' with eight months left on its charter

U.S. President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency has disbanded with eight months left to its mandate.

That was fun! the (mini) Mekons and Jon Langfords Men of Gwent playing on a ship motored on the Thames! Susie from The Mekons joined Men of Gwent for one number and they returned the favour by joking The Mekons for a few too! Good fun (even if everyone bumped their heads on low beams!).

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

Most of the denialists don't actually disbelieve - they just disagree on how to respond, and denial buys more time for resource-hoarding and border enforcement

We should be grateful for the diversity of ways of being that are opened up for us by the former, and the opportunities for extending our living existence on this planet that are opened up for us by the latter.

I work in science, and can reassure you that the most plausible relationship between these two largely independent phenomena is that autism has made a causal contribution to the development of vaccines.

Sheryl Gay Stolberg @sherylnyt.bsky.social · 5d

HEADS UP: CDC website now officially asserts that vaccines may cause autism.“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” Also says the “vaccines do not cause autism” header remains b/c of an agreement with Cassidy.

Fugazi played "Reclamation" early in a set performed in front of the Supreme Court in protest of its rightward shift in 1992 (Clarence Thomas, state challenges to abortion laws). Themes of autonomy (bodily and otherwise) abound in this tune.
