Oddly here it turned out that the far right "Ireland Is Full" accounts were all UK-based for some reason
“This is total armageddon for the online right. It’s looking like half of their large accounts were foreigners posing as Americans all along.”

I actually think the other article you linked in that thread is a much better source, because the Wired article concentrates on individual perpetrators (so people can go "oh, but they caught those people") and the CBC article puts the focus on the victims! www.cbc.ca/newsinteract...
This violent extremist network targets kids online

so on the subject of 'having kids now isn't what it used to be' this is what I failed to explain to the young coworker, this is the shadow of my enemy, falling over the tiny irreducible figure in the corner who lands every blow in the name of the girl she once was.

A global network of violent predators is hiding in plain sight, targeting children on major platforms, grooming them, and extorting them to commit horrific acts of abuse.

Super good news! The U.S. first commercial off-shore wind farm (right here in NYS!) outperformed expectations during its first year.

Lessons: construction happened quickly (much faster than nuclear power); turbines exceeded expected capacity factor; plentiful wind.

Gonzalez has her son back, but the outlook is bleak for her family. People with significant disabilities and/or chronic health conditions are ineligible to immigrate to the US & Canada. They’re seen as a potential drain on health care & social services.

Something to think about this Thanksgiving.
Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.

She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.

“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.

Sojourners magazine (@sojo.net) began in the early 1970s as a small Christian community focused on justice, peace, and anti-poverty activism. From the start, it used journalism -- then through the "Post American" -- to challenge churches to take social issues seriously.

And if you do pirate YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ANYBODY ABOUT IT, ESPECIALLY NOT THE CREATORS WHOSE WORK YOU STOLE. fandom used to have a cone of silence that worked way better than this corporatization of fandom currently ongoing, which invites people in who don't know how to act and don't care either
People who pirate books: “I just think art and literature should be FREE to everyone!”

Yes, I too would love to live in a world where art is accessible freely to all and yet artists are paid a living wage, but as this magical wagical pixie wixie land does not exist, please don’t steal from us.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.

We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.
