DOGE famously used keyword searches for terms like "climate" to terminate federal grants.

Among the victims: a collab between USAID and NASA for flood prediction, early warning, disaster readiness, glacier inventories, and mapping dangerous glacial lakes...

...in Nepal.

"why do i even need to know how to read?" the animals in animal farm do not know the seven commandments have been changed because they can't read. the animals do not have the ability to question even if they suspect something is off because they can't read. pick up a book.

This is not Andy Burnham's call to make. No British Prime Minister has any right to rule out a unity referendum.

The Good Friday Agreement is clear: the people of the island of Ireland alone must determine their own future.

any social analysis on gen z can be tied back to the economic situation it is really not that interesting at all

[Clare Daly @ClareDalyIRL]

In layman's terms the proposal here is to take
€10 billion of our public money, pile it up and set it on fire, in an obviously futile attempt to "catch up" in the data centre race with Silicon Valley, where ignorant trillionaire psychopaths are torching historically unprecedented amounts of money, causing irreparable harm to the environment and bringing about a financial apocalypse, in the delusional hope of finding a profitable business model for so-called "AI", a vastly overhyped technology that by now many of us are sick of, so that they can create a capitalist nirvana where they fire us all from our jobs and replace us with chatbots, and sell us subscriptions to slop they've recycled out of our common cultural and intellectual heritage, which they stole from us, scanned and then incinerated.

"Europe" does not want to "become the first AI continent."

Seeing one of gods most majestic and divine creatures, fight so valiantly against the destruction and rampaging of his home should do untold psychic damage to your psyche. We should be radicalized by this.

Anyone recall when @jeremycorbyn was hit in the head with an egg and media laughed , or when someone drove all the way to Finsbury to kill him or even when the army used his picture for target practice - don’t recall him begging money for protection do you

A pharmaceutical company had a new drug - a sedative for pregnant women. Already prescribed across Europe.
Already making millions. They needed one FDA reviewer to sign off on it. They got her.
She was one month into the job. She read the application. The safety data wasn't there. She asked for more. They called her office 50 times. Crowded her office. Called her names she said you wouldn't print. She kept saying no.
Then the reports started coming from Europe. Babies born without arms. Without legs. The one thing connecting their mothers - the drug sitting on her desk waiting for her signature. In America - 17 babies were affected. In Europe -10,000.
Congress passed the Kefauver-Harris Amendment that same year. Every drug in America had to prove it was safe before reaching a single patient. Because of her. Her name was Frances Oldham Kelsey. Her acceptance letter had said Dear Mr. Oldham. They hought she was a man.

Unpopular opinion: I believe the goal of a society SHOULD be to secure the happiness and highest quality of life possible for its citizens NOT to endlessly generate capital for the ownership class at the expense of everyone else.

[Hans senfuma @senfumahans]

Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a Utopia of peace, unity andhappiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology.

Anthony Stewart Head has tragically passed away at 72, he will be missed by many 💔🕊️

[saturn’s PR agent @divinatorydoll]

it makes me really sad how ancient sculptures of women (both historical and divine) are always left headless and limbless

it is so iconoclastic and evidential of the violence that happens against women; even in art, women cannot be left with their dignity
