The era of "It isn't fair to pick on him, he's just a kid, he didn't choose to be in the limelight" is definitely over, so feel free to say he looks like he throws pets into a woodchipper with an expressionless face and a heart rate of 60bpm.

Trump's weird, serial killer-looking son might get a top job at TikTok.

oh my god this made me cry.
this. made. me. cry.

it's so rare to watch something made with so much... genuine compassion about us. not pity, not judgement, just compassion.

why can't all politician be like that.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Martin Leahy tweets:

“There was a bus going through Béal na Bláth once and the bus driver announced to the passengers, 'This is where Michael Collins died' and someone on the bus said 'Tis a bad bend alright'.”

Les experts Social Media le savent depuis janvier mais c’est désormais prouvé statistiquement : X (anciennement Twitter) est mort. Plus aucun reach, plus d’engagement, sauf si vous payez X Premium. Mais qui veut donner des sous à un neo-n4zi à part les neo-n4zis ? 👀

Dans cette étude menée par @buffer.com sur 18 MILLIONS de posts, la conclusion est claire et nette : si vous ne payez pas, vous n'existez pas. Si vous payez, vous n'existez pas non plus ! Sauf si vous avez l'abo le + cher et là, les bots vous ciblent directement, alors vous avez de "l'engagement" 👍

Graphique de portée médiane X premium VS X non premium entre août 2024 et août 2025. Les non premium frôlent avec le 0, les premium entre 700 et 1000 (avec tendance baissière en prime)

Graphique d'engagement médiane X premium VS X non premium entre août 2024 et août 2025. Les non-premium s'ecroulent depuis janvier 2025 pour toucher le 0 depuis juillet 2025. Le premium passe de 0,3% à 0,4%.

Graphique de portée médiane X basic, premium, premium plus et X non premium entre août 2024 et août 2025. Non premium et basic sont quasi inexistants, Premium l'est un peu moins. Premium plus est le seul de vraiment visible.

We are not trivialising LLMs.

Copyright theft is not trivial.

Environmental damage is not trivial.

Unreliability is not trivial.

Risk to human cognition is not trivial.

Ignoring consent when shoving it into every fucking thing while making us pay our hard-earned money for it is not trivial.

Love how nearly 70 years on people are still trying to launder the transphobia of anonymous men in the 50's straight making shit up for the era's equivalent of clickbait.

i think it was will neff who was suggesting that we start calling billionaires "pharaohs" because since it breaks peoples brains how much money and power they wield, "pharaohs" would be a quick way to understand how powerful and reality-shaping their influence is.

and i couldn't agree more.

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

Billionaires Are Hoarding Power, Not Money

I think it is important for people to understand that the UK in 2025 is more transphobic now than they were in 1394 (700 years ago) when they arrested and subsequently released Eleanor Rykener in a similar case as this one en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John/El...

je parierai pas sur le fait que LFI s'en tire avec d'avantage de députés si il y avait dissolution. je pense que la dissolution, en l'état actuel (surtout à gauche), ce sera au moins 400 sièges assurés pour le RN

tout le monde joue avec le feu et le pire c'est que c'est nous qui en sortirons brulés

Laurent Chemla ✅ @laurent.chemla.org · 1d

Sil a vraiment convoqué tous les partis sauf FN et LFI pour leur dire « Lecornu ou dissolution » c'est qu'il sait que ce sont ces partis qui auraient le plus à perdre après une dissolution et donc qui sont le plus à même de se coucher.

Ça va mieux en le disant.
