Gender-based violence is an everyday reality, and it starts with minimizing misogyny
As we highlight 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence and the upcoming anniversary of the Montreal massacre, can we take a moment to reflect on all the different forms this violence takes?

NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

Here is my peace plan for Ukraine/Russia.
1. Russia gets the fuck out of Ukraine.
2. Putin goes on trial in the Hague.
3. Russia pays everyone for everything.
4. Trump gets impeached, convicted, and sent to jail.
Thanks for your attention to this matter.

Ukrainian suicide drones just struck and destroyed Russia’s Beriev A-60 experimental airborne laser aircraft in Taganrog.

The STASI would blush.
Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Great synopsis.
As Twitter's new geolocation tool started to reveal accounts’ information, the effect was like watching the Scooby Doo kids pull one disguise after another from the villain of the week.
Hilarious and alarming though it all was, it's just the latest indication of one of the site’s oldest problems.

Twitter implemented a new feature last night that displayed the country an account is in. So many of the ‘America First’ accounts were from foreign countries that they had to disable the feature within hours. 🙄

The zombie comparison has legs: these deep thinkers have no idea why they're doing what they're doing and no reason to give up.
Causes will come and they will go and this cantankery will drag on pointlessly, idiotically and annoyingly for so long as the people pulling the strings find it lucrative.
