Let’s be clear: if the Palestine Action hunger strikers die, the government will bear moral responsibility | George Monbiot

How is it so excruciatingly painful for these people to leave, when I, a man with a crippling Twitter addiction, somehow managed to do so without any sort of psychic wounds

If the people behind tech companies can produce with impunity non-consensual sexualised imagery of women and children, do you really believe they’re not going to produce democracy-breaking, AI-slop lies and propaganda to steal elections?
