The UK again shows they've lost touch with decency and humanity when it comes to trans women as a judge declared Graham Linehan not guilty of harrassment after he harrassed a trans minor and broke her phone.

Apparently the victim didn't seem distressed enough.

More here from @alyssaur.bsky.social:
Linehan Inexplicably Cleared of Harassment, Must Pay for Broken Phone — Assigned
After repeatedly directing hundreds of thousands of rabid bigots to attack a trans minor, Graham Linehan was somehow excused of any wrongdoing. Besides breaking her phone.

There are almost as many survival fundraisers from Americans in my timeline as there are from Palestinians. I'm not saying this to shame you, I just really want Americans to understand the imperial boomerang. What they do to others they'll eventually do to you.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."
Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

have to admit that talking to any of the AI fetishists reminds me of that feeling in the folk horror movie when you realise that behind the smiles, the villagers are members of a cult planning to sacrifice you to their bloodthirsty deity (either you give up your body to house the god or wicker man)
Andy the cyber god is going to torture a simacrulum of you eternally in the future if you dont get better at defending his ascension

you have to get better at explaining why the data centers that only make life worse for everyone are good Andy

otherwise the Basilisk's going to get you

I think we can safely say that the Leavitt's brother called ICE on his ex, the mother of his child, and I have to say: I have no desire to respect, find common ground or share the country with these monsters.
“After Ferreira was detained, Dos Santos Rodrigues said Michael Leavitt Sr. and his father, Bob Leavitt, reached out to her.”

“‘They just kept saying, ‘Tell her to self-deport,’” she recalled. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...
‘Brazil is not her home.’ Mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew, brought to US as child, detained by ICE. - The Boston Globe
Bruna Ferreira, 33, was brought to the United States as a child in 1998. She is now in removal proceedings in Louisiana.

All of the Democrats around the U.S. proposing more pretrial detention and fighting reforms to the cash bail system should be thinking about why, across modern history, authoritarians are obsessed with increasing the power of the government to detain people before any trial.

I'm tired… exhausted from trying to survive every day.

Donations come in hard… and sometimes they don't come at all.

I write because I have no other way… and because silence is killing me more than hunger and cold.

Please… don't leave me alone🥹🙏

If they had done the opposite...if they would have come up with a system that actually helps Palestinians in Gaza, its popularity would have skyrocketed and it would have broken X for good. But see, bluesky was never about succeeding. It's merely a tool to turn us into an opposition they can control
I truly don't understand it. You should just be moral, but there's so many ways to be evil without visibly pissing people off.

And so many places hate bsky, it's not like being complicit in this will help make it popular. Are they just in it for the love of it?

No. The Thing is a movie about a bunch of people who all distrust and hate each other trapped in one building as the tension between them slowly builds until it reaches a breaking point. It's a Thanksgiving movie.

80% of the responses are negative, but not “bad faith.” Those are two different things.
Wow 80% bad-faith responses, and people lecturing the creator of Flask here and the creator of Django/datasette in the comments on why AI is useless for software engineering...
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?
