Electronic music is a genre that was started and shaped by women, so on International Women's Day, here are some Bandcamp recommendations for women making some of the best electronic music you can get today. 🧡

I can't believe we still report a word that man says without a massive asterisk. He's absolutely loopy, he's a rapist/paedophile/murderer, he's not our problem... We didn't vote for him and have no duty to listen to a lying word.

I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing β€˜reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.

The choice is stark. Reform are the party of foreign wars and high bills.

The Greens want de-escalation and energy security through renewables. Solar and wind prices don't fluctuate when rogue US presidents launch illegal bombing campaigns.

Israeli-US war of aggression on Iran: High time for the global majority to stand up to the might-makes-right order High time for the global majority to stand up to the might-makes-right order.

The massacre of at least 165 Iranian schoolgirls and their teachers, largely ignored or sanitized by the genocidal western media exposes the real objectives of this aggression by two rogue nuclear pow,ers. bdsmovement.net/news/Israeli...

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.

And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.

Every single person involved in bombing a girl's school in Iran, killing 51 and wounding even more, would tell you, if asked, they are protectors of women and girls.

Evey single one of them.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Guys he's not starting a war to distract from the Epstein files. He's starting a war because he wants to start a war. Killing people in other countries makes him horny. If it also distracts from the Epstein files, great, but he doesn't really give a shit either way.

The attack on Iran will not liberate its brutally-oppressed people, but make matters worse. It could be a trigger for major conflagration.

Of course, it is unlawful.

Even the "pre-emptive" justification is half-hearted guff.

Of course, it is stupid.

Wise US politicians once realised a rules-based international order was in their interests. That is being thrown away.

And most of all, and regardless of the above, it is wrong.

The New York Rangers expect me, a woman, to come back and watch the rest of the season after I watched the people who run the organization and two of its players laugh at female athletes. I think I’m good on hockey for the rest of the season. It’s been, like, really ruined.

Reform vision for British women - have children as early as possible (wouldn’t want you to be educated or have a career, now). If you don’t we’ll tax you and your stupid barren womb. But don’t have any more than 2 kids or we’ll take aware your state benefits.

President Trump pardons Hall of Famer Joe Klecko and four other former NFL players Trump pardoned Klecko, Nate Newton, Jamal Lewis, Travis Henry and the late Billy Cannon for crimes ranging from perjury to drug trafficking.

Nate Newton was found in a van with 175 pounds of marijuana. I guess he’s lucky he wasn’t in a boat in the Caribbean or Trump would’ve blown him to pieces instead of pardoning him. www.nytimes.com/athletic/704...

For months now there is a daily pro-Palestinian protest at the Milan Duomo. Across the square are the TV studios for many of the Olympics broadcasters. Most of the people standing with flags tonight are older Milanese folks who arrive most evenings to draw attention to Gaza.

The cartoon illustrates the problem of water use in the AI age: a farmer's child and his mother are pumping a little water from a well for their daily use. Two knights in armor, transporting a large, spherical water container on wheels, come by and say, "The King wishes to make more avatars of himself as a Ghibli character."
In the background, a castle sits enthroned on a hill. The cartoon illustrates the excessive water consumption required for AI model queries.

Mandelson’s Fifth Column The British government’s business department exists to undermine democracy.

1. In 2009 I wrote this. I argued that Peter Mandelson's department β€œfunctions as a fifth column within government, working for corporations to undermine democracy and the public interest.”
This thread explains what I saw, and reaches a startling conclusion.🧡
