This is such a good idea. It is great to be righteously angry; it is even better when people figure out a way to channel that into actual efforts to ameliorate harm. Congrats to all.

The panelists: Niamh Kitching (Mary Immaculate College), Limerick Aoife Sheehan (University of Limerick), Cliona O'Leary (Sport Ireland) and Evanne Ni Chiulinn (Irish senator).

First up, a brilliant panel on Standing Out and Blending In as Women Working in Sports Media.

Key message: sports media organisations who put women on screen without challenging male-dominated cultures are not empowering them, they are leaving them vulnerable 👀 #IACS2026

The emerging cases of AI psychosis have shown that all it takes to drive some people completely insane is to put them in contact with a sycophantic chatbot who always agrees with them.

Now, what does that tell us about billionaire CEOs surrounded by sycophantic people who always agree with them?

Another day, another stupid Excel chart.

If you get evicted it follows you around. Evictions create a second class of tenants who live w fewer protections as a direct consequence of their eviction. The system should not favor landlords, this is an eminently fixable problem

This is why 30 extra days is so meaningful. This is the “debt trap” politicians and these supposed affordable housing orgs are talking about? People don’t deserve to lose their homes over this.

Banning social media for minors would hurt everyone—adults included | Xtra Magazine A social media ban would disproportionately harm queer and trans people, and restrict LGBTQ2S+ materials

For the late/west coast crowd, my @xtramagazine.com column on why banning social media for minors is just age verification by stealth, which will infect the entire internet #cdnpoli

I will quote with a link to the below-mentioned Casablanca vid, because it has only gotten to be MORE timely & significant in the past year.

Watch Rebel Dykes - BFI Player A brilliant and refreshing story of UK post-punk dyke culture, told by those who lived it.

Also there's a brilliant, hilarious reconstruction & oral history of Beeb Day in REBEL DYKES if you haven't seen it...

I don't think I've seen/heard anyone else so brilliantly condense the neoliberal model by seeing S28 & union-busting & utility privatisation as the same thing in one sentence. Pits AND perverts!

This is reminding me I should link you to the vid a pal made using If You Tolerate This

Insurance Crisis Leaves Black Homeowners One Disaster Away From Homelessness From Altadena to Alabama, Black families learn the real catastrophe starts after the disaster, when insurers decide who is worth saving.

NEW: 5 Black family homes worth $2.1M burned to the ground
The insurance check? $297,000
One sister dead

The most helpful any everyday technology has ever been is GMail's "You wrote 'Attached is' but no files are attached." reminder and I don't need any tech to be more intelligent than that.

REI also outfitted ICE in Minneapolis this winter, in case you need another reason to stop shopping there.

The thousands of feds were easier to spot at first because they very obviously weren't dressed for the cold, and that stood out. Then, they went shopping, and REI was happy to sell to them.

'AI Is African Intelligence': The Workers Who Train AI Are Fighting Back Kenyan workers are still the underpaid labor behind AI training, moderation, and sex chatbots. The Data Labelers Association is fighting back.

I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out:

I think this is very accurate & is why I am almost always in house slippers & don't have many sharp items lololololol

Heck yeah SA!!! #SAvNSW

A fun new twist to the Stringer Bell Rule:
Asking a chatbot for legal advice about your crimes also counts as writing them down.

There are going to be contests between two 'Full Members' during this upcoming ICC Women's Championship cycle/FTP that are going to be much more akin to Full Member v Associate in men's cricket.

Media covering those games need to make that imbalance crystal clear their audience.

Happy 11th of March!

first thing this morning, L looks over at me in the dark and says quietly, "guess what day it is?"

Me: "...it's this day the 11th of March!!!!"

Happy 11th of March to all Due South people!

Hey so if by chance anyone here bought anything from Morningcider recently absolutely only open it over your sink, it seems the over pressurising issue may be reoccurring & has just fucked my evening. DW, I am emailing them about it now I have finished what I can clean up.

I do not understand how the ABSOLUTELY VOLUNTARY destruction of the original ferry replacement is not a massive political scandal?!

It was a reflexive ideological decision that has disadvantaged the country significantly.
