I just wanted to update my resume. Instead, I accidentally proved how a multi-billion-dollar AI tool hallucinates a glass ceiling for women.

I changed a single variable: My name.

Here is what happened when "Jennifer" became "Jeff."

To be a teenaged girl in a relationship is to put yourself at more risk than most other situations. This epidemic of feminide will continue to happen because no one in power actually cares about women being murdered.

48 (of 70) women can come forward about a male doctor sexually assaulting them & a male judge will call them all liars & give him a pass. But women are accused of "misandry" if they fear male doctors & a lack of protection.

I don't think people understand the gravity of the situation as the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran.

This is a picture of Tehran. For you uneducated, untraveled, never-served, warhawks licking your chops at the thought of bombing it. It's not some low population desert. There are families, children, family pets. Regular working class people with dreams. You're sick to want war.

Tehran is a city of nearly 10,000,000 people. Imagine nuking Washington, Berlin, Paris, London, or beyond, bombed with nuclear weapons.

I gave up my diplomatic career to leak this information. I suspended my duties so as not to be part of or a witness to this crime against humanity, in an attempt to prevent a nuclear winter before it is too late.

Yesterday, nearly ten million people protested “No Kings” in the United States. The possibility of the use of nuclear weapons must be taken very seriously. It's dangerous. Act now. Spread this message worldwide. Take the streets. Protest for our humanity and future. Only the people can stop it. History will remember us.

Absolutely sick to death of hearing about how the new @louistheroux documentary has made people think about attitudes to women. Lots of MPs jumping on the bandwagon. I mean, no disrespect to Louis - I’m grateful for the highlight - but for God’s sake…
Women get killed by their partner every week. Tiny Man Tate has been a thing for years. Domestic violence shelters are overwhelmed. Women have been waving the red flags about incels and attitudes for years. We’ve been begging for change. We’ve been highlighting the serious threat of anti-women social media. Then a MAN makes a documentary and suddenly everyone’s interested? Do you not all think that this might be part of the problem?

International Women’s Day wasn’t created to celebrate women. It didn’t start with flowers or hashtags

It was created because women were dying and they started getting angry

In the early 1900s, thousands of women worked in factories across New York City.

They worked 14–16 hour shifts, earned a fraction of men’s wages, and had almost no legal protection.

In 1908, around 15,000 women marched through the city demanding better pay, shorter hours, and the right to vote.

Many people dismissed them as hysterical and rebellious.

But they didn’t stop.

In 1910, German activist Clara Zetkin stood before a conference in Copenhagen and proposed something radical:

A global day where women would rise together and demand equality.

Then a disaster changed everything.

In 1911, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire in New York City killed 146 garment workers.

Most of them were young immigrant women.

The factory owners had locked the doors to stop workers from taking breaks.

When the fire started, many couldn’t escape.

Some workers jumped from the building as crowds watched below.

The tragedy shocked the world and intensified the fight for women’s rights and safer working conditions.

Decades later, the United Nations officially recognized International Women’s Day on March 8th 1975.

So when people say “Happy International Women’s Day,” remember:

This day didn’t start with celebration.

It started with protest, anger, and women refusing to accept the way the world treated them.

I don’t think Doug Ford understands what OSAP is. Did look into the program to understand it before he cut their funding? @fordnation

[Colin D'Mello | Global News @ColinDMello]

BREAKING: The ford government is lifting the long-standing tuition freeze for college and university students, as part of its post secondary funding changes:

• Tuition: 2% increase per year for 3 years, then rate of 2% or 3-year inflation average

• PSE funding: $1.6 B per year, above the base $5.4 B

• OSAP: max 25% as a grant, minimum 75% as a loan (currently it’s 85% grant max 15% loan min)

Picture this: women in parts of the U.S. are being arrested and jailed for miscarriages, a medical event they didn’t choose, didn’t cause, while not a single powerful man named in the Epstein files is sitting in a jail cell. Women’s bodies are surveilled, criminalized, and punished at their most vulnerable, yet men accused of exploiting and abusing children are shielded by wealth, influence, and silence. That’s not justice. That’s a system that polices women and protects predators. If this were really about “protecting life,” the priorities would look very different. Instead, what we’re watching is blatant misogyny and it’s disgusting.

[Tom Santos @tommysantos14]

A moment of clarity for the MAGA folks willing to think things through objectively:

A protester, armed with a camera phone in his hand, defends a woman being harassed by ICE agents and puts his body between them and her.

He does not fight them. He does not strike them. He does not brandish his concealed gun and shoot at them. THIS IS WHAT THE VIDEOS SHOW, so save your fucked-up made-up gaslighting.

They then take him to the ground, overwhelm him with at least 7 agents, hit him in the head repeatedly with the pepper spray canister they sprayed him with.

Then, after one agent finds his lawfully carried gun, they disarm him, and then shoot him in the back when he is clearly not a threat.

Then, as the man is shot on the ground, a different agent claps and celebrates, while another decides to shoot him a few more times in the back for good measure.

That is what happened. That is what the videos show. They show the execution of an American citizen that should have never happened.

Now... If you are posting on this platform about this incident and your narrative is anything resembling "well, I mean... 🤷‍♂️ He should have never been there in the first place," you have some real soul searching to do.

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

To the x bots bashing my poem for its format to avoid the relevancy of its content: the verse shape is inspired by Minneapolis itself. Stop griping over the structure of a poem and funnel that critical energy towards the federal agents executing American citizens.

[Mr S @Mr_S_Ont]

This alone should cost @fordnation his job.

Worst snowfall in history and that roof is holding up better then any sentence Ford has ever said.#onpoli

[Jessica Burbank @JessicaLBurbank]

so 6 ICE officers struggled to keep 1 man down, got frustrated, and shot him multiple times.

again, if you emasculate these guys, they shoot you

[Dr. Brian Goldman @NightShiftMD]

I advise followers to get their flu shot because it's available & takes +/- 10 days to gain immunity. If you don't want it, fine. Comments about your personal experience with flu shots are unhelpful. Saying the vaccine causes frequent catastrophic adverse effects is utter BS.

Yes, this. Finally people are waking up:

There are many Americans who have an adult child (usually a boy) who has profound emotional problems and/or substance addiction. They’re terrified that he might do something, but cops can’t intervene until there’s a crime and we don’t have anywhere humane and safe to put them.

[Jenna Parrett @jennaparrett]

@cynical_tutu @Brian_Sauve Yesssssss! Came here to say pretty much the exact same thing.

[Jessica Bell @JessicaBellTO]

I’m holding many briefing notes in my hands.

This is what I have to carry into the legislature daily, because I need to be ready to speak to any one of a number of bills at a moment’s notice. Why?

Because the Conservative government, for much of this week, has been refusing to tell opposition MPPs which bills we are debating and when.

It’s all part of the government’s plan to ram through far-reaching bills at breakneck speed, banning public consultation, and abandoning the important work of carefully listening and deliberating before making a law.

This is not normal.

Doug Ford is so clearly governing to help his friends, not for the good of the province.

[Dr Daisy Dixon @daisyldixon]

women can literally do all these things but we weren’t officially *allowed* to do most of them until like the 1970s - did you guys not like history at school or something

[Jenna Parrett @jennaparrett]

@shesbonky I refuse to accept flowers as a gift because my cats eat them and then proceed to puke everywhere. Gee, thanks for the romantic gesture.
