About 18 years ago, I came to the realisation that I may be asexual. At that time, there was no ace representation in mainstream media. In #Mauritius, asexuality was never spoken about, not even within the queer community. (1/15)

We are now in a weird era where a guy gets publicly shamed for running his sprinklers on a Tuesday, while a data center the size of a Costco quietly drains a reservoir so AI can generate a picture of your cat as a medieval knight. And the data center gets a tax incentive for it.

It's just so crazy to think that about 10 years ago the internet felt gigantic: blogs, forums, hundreds of random sites, communities. Today it feels like we're stuck living on the same three sites, four apps, and AI. The internet got bigger, but somehow it feels smaller.

I can't properly describe to anyone under the age of 30 just how cool the Internet was before Amazon, Google, Meta, and Apple turned it all into a walled garden of garbage and commerce.

Making weight loss medication more accessible than abortions or even insulin is really why I keep saying that we really have lost the fat politic.

Scientists have discovered AI data centers are even worse for the environment than we thought.

Big data centers create "heat islands" that raise local surface temperatures an average of 3.6°F, enough to potentially devastate local wildlife and water supply.

i absolutely hate today being remembered as the “star wars day” instead of the anniversary of the kent state shooting. four innocent students massacred with no accountability, no justice was ever served. the more you learn about it the worse it gets.

A reminder that we produce enough food for 1.5x the Earth’s population. Capitalism prevents hungry people from eating it

I applaud global human rights orgs like @accessnow for making the effort to host events in the Global South - shifting their center of gravity away from the West that keeps failing on rights, but soon people will discover the extent to which China has captured the Global South.

In case anyone isn’t aware, Trump is demanding Zambia to hand over its mineral rights by end of day tomorrow or the U.S. gov’t will cut off the country’s access to the AIDS medications that are literally keeping its citizens alive.

Just thought y’all should know.

African decolonial advocates work overtime to undermine any critique of Traoré’s erasure of both Afro-feminism and LGBT liberation. So you want emancipation based on patriarchy? Then you can’t be a Sankara.

The Cadbury's Dairy Milk sold in South Africa contains only 20% cocoa solids; the rest is vegetable oils & fats. In other countries it wouldn't be considered to be chocolate & couldn't be legally called chocolate...learning new madness every day.

As a woman, you should be more afraid of being poor than unmarried 😩😩

[Joe Gallagher @joedgallagher]

adding more context to this: after Haiti not having cholera for >100 years, the UN's peacekeeping mission carried cholera in the country in 2010 and caused an epidemic that killed >8,000 ppl and infected >600,000 ppl. the UN themselves admitted this (eventually 6 years later)!

[Guillaume Long @GuillaumeLong]

Absolutely right!

I teach Cuban foreign policy in Africa. And my students are always surprised when I tell them that Cuba was the only country to defeat Apartheid South Africa militarily. Not once but twice (1975 & 1988), protecting Angola from occupation from Apartheid SA and playing big role in independence of Namibia.

Cuba’s crucial role in the defeat of the Apartheid regime, at a time when it was supported by the US and its allies, is not a history Europeans and global elites are told or taught. Celebrate Mandela, sure, but don’t ask any questions…

"Living without ai is an impossible utopia" bruh we were living it like 5 years ago and we were doing just fine without that shit. You're letting your brain be cooked on slow heat. And your planet too. In exchange for wrong answers and shitty pics.

Gen Z will never know the horror/euphoria of watching the sunrise over your college campus as you finish a thesis that will either turn out to be an A- masterpiece or a garbage essay that will make your professor write "What happened here?" (Yes, the latter happened)
