Immigrants BELONG here/Wear a Mask
ICE is fascist. Fight racism, it’s disgusting. Fight for immigrants! Proud to live in Oakland. Resisting involves being in community. #BlackLivesMatter! Fat old wyt lesbian, pro-trans ppl.
Finally, someone has figured out the key to making Christianity popular again: haranguing people in airplanes.
Hemant MehtaEvangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...
EBay, former executives to pay $56 million to settle couple's harassment case reut.rs/4yJzWxL
I remember this insane story from a few years ago. Ebay employees trying to shut down this couple's little newsletter that was criticizing the company went completely batshit: sending them live spiders, posting ads for sex parties at their address, tailing their car, sending them death threats.

The Cleveland Public Library's union voted overwhelmingly, 97%, to authorize a strike, which will happen in August if the administrators continue to stall contract negotiations. As an author whose work is carried by those libraries, I whole-heartedly endorse the library workers.
the transphobes: 'there's no good medical evidence for trans healthcare' sensible people: 'okay, you've dismissed a number of good studies but fine we'll do another' transphobes: 'and that made me really mad'
Good Law ProjectAnti-trans activists with links to the far right are trying to tell young trans people what to do with their own bodies. They want to shut down a clinical trial into healthcare for trans youth. We're fighting back 💥 goodlawproject.org/petition/tra...
Short-sighted, stupid cuts to the UKRI budget include shutting down Jodrell Bank, the icon of British astronomy. (Many other cuts too, including 20% to our brand new @vrubinobs.bsky.social). Interesting politically to shut down a major facility in...um..Manchester 🔭 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Genuinely can’t wait for the next election and every party running campaigns saying that terrorism increased nine billion percent under Labour and every Labour politician having to defend it by saying “but it was only grannies with placards or people throwing a bit of paint, not actual terrorists”.
NeverFadingWood 🏴🇵🇱🇪🇺This is absolutely beyond the pale. Criminal damage is *not* fucking terrorism. And changing the crime *after* the jury has delivered its verdict is fucking kangaroo court stuff. Prosecutors call for Barclays protesters to be sentenced under UK terror laws giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...
FYI there is no "real" reason why Rome "fell." Its power waned for the usual, mundane reasons: widening gap between rich and poor, inability to maintain infrastructure, incompetent leadership, pointless wars, endless persecution of marginalized groups who performed vital labor, etc.
I haven’t seen it yet and i won’t until it’s out of theatres so please nobody tell me if this is real or not. I need to believe
Abigail NussbaumThere really needs to be more discussion of how bad the dialogue in The Odyssey is. "Our age of bronze is collapsing" should be a meme on the same level as "Somehow, Palpatine returns"
HANNITY: Elon Musk talked about Americans not even needing to save for your retirement like we have historically because of the abundance AI will create. Do you believe that? BESSENT: I do, but I think I would change the timeline. Elon is so far ahead of the curve
Now I've created a similar database of roughly 500 trans related federal cases over decades with as many available docket entries as possible. It has document viewer built in, judge reports, expert declaration tracking, etc. all within a vector embedded database with RAG connected to it.
Alejandra CaraballoCreating a vector database of nearly 10k LGBTQ related bills from 2004-present. This will allow for semantic search on bills as well as novel textual analysis. It'll include all bill meta data along with hand coded values by the legialerts team. I don't think anything like this has been done before.
