The thin-obsessed world is growing more vicious by the minute. But fat people aren’t going anywhere | Rebecca Shaw It’s time to open up your big fat mouths and push back against fatphobia

My column this week is about how fucking BAD the body image/fatphobic vibes are at the moment and how other people need to engage before it destroys us all. I don’t ever insist you read my stuff but I’d love you to read this one www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I will never stop being mad about how the media has treated the anti-trans movement as a group of ordinary people with legitimate concerns rather than the obvious frothing bigots they are.

Comedians obsessed with 'wokeness' are the ones ruining comedy there's nothing less funny than old lazy jokes about cancel culture that we've heard before

I know you’re prob sick of me but I got this off my chest earlier this week & I think a lot of comedy fans could find it cathartic maybe. I’ve been stewing about it for ages & Im happy that it came out as something other than me snarling and growling heterosexualnonsense.substack.com/p/comedians-...

Keith Wasserman: Does anyone have access to private firefighters to protect our home in Pacific Palisades? Need to act fast here. All neighbors houses burning. Will pay any amount. Thank you.

β€œWill pay any amount.”

Feels like one of those futile pleas we’re going to hear from wealthy people more and more in the era of climate change.

Exclusive: β€˜Catastrophic errors’ seen in rushed NDIS reform Following confidential briefings, disability advocates say hundreds of thousands of people will be underserved by new eligibility rules that are reminiscent of failed Coalition policy.

Rush to select new NDIS needs assessment, to feed outcomes directly to plan budgets, will lead to catastrophic errors. Confidential briefing docs reveal timeline is so tight officials are all but apologising to disability advocates for a fait accompli. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/health/...

All jokes aside it's really fucked up to see so many people on here celebrating murder. No one here is the judge of who deserves to live or die. That's the job of the AI algorithm the insurance company designed to maximise profits on your health and no one else

Trying out setting a super low price to RSVP to DevOps Sydney meetups, so we don’t have a bunch of time wasters RSVP’ing and not showing up.

Tweet says: Last year, Anton wrote about his strained relationship with Gorka, which in Anton’s account stemmed from Gorka irritating senior White House staff by exaggerating his own role in writing a speech Trump delivered in his first term. Anton said he was charged with clarifying to the media that Gorka did not draft the speech, an act that culminated in Gorka calling Anton a β€œcoward” and scolding him in a Fox News green room, according to his account.

Anton did not immediately respond to a request for comment, while Gorka told The Post: β€œI don’t comment to the fake failing news."

Anton expected to be in contention for other administration jobs

The Washington Post reports that Michael Anton and Sebastian Gorka had a falling out over who should receive credit for writing Trump's speeches. This is incorrect. In this thread, I will tell you the real reason why Anton dislikes Gorka. 🧡

Gender pay gap means women working for free from today until end of year The gender pay gap β€” the difference in average pay between Australian men and women β€” is 11.5 per cent, which is the equivalent of working from November 19 until the end of they year without being paid for it.

Celebrating our return to Bluesky by sharing the most batshit Australian speech ever given: Bob Katter's gay marriage speech, in all its unhinged glory. Enjoy.

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.

Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

Jen Easterly has been an absolute icon in her role. She truly prioritized building relationships with business and the infosec community, implemented the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative, and championed secure by design development.

Her departure will likely mark the end of the CISA function.
