The question is why his name was suppressed at all. "His lawyers had argued that naming their client would damage the Silvagni family name". One law for the privileged.

Screenshot of a tweet by J.K. Rowling replying to Mark Adam Harold. Mark's tweet asks, "How are you planning to police public toilets?" J.K. Rowling responds: "Quite easily, really. Decent men will stay out, as they always have, so we can assume all who don't are a threat, given their disregard for women's and girls' safety, privacy and dignity. Photographing, reporting and disseminating such men's images online will be a piece of cake."

JK Rowling explicitly calls on her followers to engage in vigilante actions against people they suspect are trans in bathrooms.
This is incredibly dangerous and far more likely to result in violence against gender nonconforming cis women.

Not by it.
Not by anyone in particular.
One of our neighbours has just heard another neighbour is voting Liberal and just yelled at him ‘DO YOU HATE WOMEN?!’
I think that a party that promised to invest, say, a billion dollarydoos in peri/meno/endo research and treatment would simply win everything. Huge fucking blindspot.
The absolute callousness of announcing a 44% trade tariff against Myanmar this week, of all weeks.

I derive a lot of joy from that, actually
For the record, Joe Hockey is a defence lobbyist who stands to make millions from defence contracts with the US and other allies. To just describe him in interviews as a former US ambassador and not his CURRENT vested interest role is not just irresponsible, it's lying.
Just extensively phone polled on federal election. About 15 questions.
Great article @reezymiller.bsky.social!!
It's not complicated. They're just trying to stop women from being able to vote.

Had a bunch of folks ask me about Google Maps renaming Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America. I've not been at Google for years now, but for various illiberal govts, they would go with naming based on local govt demands, but only show them for ppl in that location. 1/

As you look at this picture of Lady Conan Doyle and her two feckless sons, I want you to remember than when he died they buried their husband & father, Sir Arthur, in their garden, vertically. #Lordy
I enjoyed the Darby and Joan finale. Such a nice little show with a nostalgic Aussie cast.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today backed tech entrepreneur Elon Musk after he was accused of giving a “Nazi salute” earlier this week.
I'm writing this with a heavy heart and no small amount of fear. As a former X (formerly Twitter) employee on an H1B visa, I can't reveal my identity without risking everything, but I can't stay silent any longer about what I saw and was made to do. When Elon Musk took over, everything changed. What started as a social media company became something much darker. I was part of a team that was directly ordered to manipulate Twitter's systems to influence the 2024 US presidential election. It wasn't subtle, and it wasn't ethical. We completely changed how the algorithm worked, pushing pro-Trump and right-wing posts to the top of people's feeds. To make it look balanced, we also boosted some left-wing critics of Democrats, but it was all carefully calculated. These changes didn't just affect Americans - they impacted users worldwide. One of the most disturbing things we did was create thousands of fake accounts using advanced AI systems called Grok and Eliza. These accounts looked completely real and pushed political messages that spread like wildfire. Havn't you noticed they all disappeared? Like magic. We also knowingly allowed foreign governments to manipulate the platform. State-backed groups from Israel, Iran, and Russia were running their own influence campaigns, and because their goals aligned with ours, we looked the other way. Even when they clearly broke the rules, we didn't stop them.
Perhaps the most unethical part was how we manufactured news stories. One team would write completely fake articles, while another team would artificially boost their engagement metrics to make them go viral. We specifically targeted certain groups of people, knowing exactly how to manipulate their views and emotions. The moderation team became a tool for our agenda. We systematically silenced anyone who got in our way, enforcing the rules when it suited us and ignoring them when it didn't. Elon Musk himself was deeply involved in these decisions, often joking about being "Black Hat MAGA." What started as US election interference has now spread to other countries. We're currently doing the same thing in Germany and other European nations. The damage we've done is immeasurable, and I don't know if it can ever be fixed. People don't know what's real anymore, and that's exactly what we wanted. The pilot program for the Eliza AI Agent, was election interference. Eliza was release officially in October of 2024, but we had access to it before then thanks to Marc Andreessen. I'm terrified to be writing this, but I had to speak up. I just hope that someone with the power to do something about this sees this letter. You'll know what i’m saying is the truth by Elon's actions to the news someone spoke out. For more evidence look at the docs of Eliza AI Agent software. We left bread crumbs. Yours sincerely, A former employee who can't sleep at night.

I hear what you guys are saying about the Oscars, and how they're a celebration of life, and the show must go on, blah-blah-blah, so-on-and-so-forth. It all makes a degree of sense, but to me it still feels like Nero fiddling while Rome burns. Or in this case, wearing fancy clothes while LA burns.
Ben Gvir says he repeatedly foiled hostage deals, urges Smotrich to help him stop this one
Thinking of all the housekeepers, waiters, valets, cooks, drivers, teachers, shop assistants, support industry minimum wagers, many with no safety net or prospects, out of work because of the LA fires.
