irony is dead and all but it’s pretty depressing to see Ghibli A.I. slop on the timeline not only because Miyazaki famously thinks A.I. art is disgusting but because he’s spent the last 50 years making art about environmental waste for petty human uses

You call it a clawback. We call it survival. Alberta’s taking $200 from disabled people and calling it “budgeting.” When you’re choosing between meds, food, or rent—that’s not policy. That’s abandonment. #StopTheClawback cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…

People wonder why disabled and immunocompromised people have such disdain for certain medical professionals. It's because they prioritize their views and comfort over their patient's actual health and safety. They truly hate us. And would rather we die than confront their biases.

At some point over the last few years, it seems as though the “first, do no harm” bit for healthcare workers was replaced by “do all sorts of harm by not protecting yourself or your patients from airborne viruses during an airborne pandemic and also mock them on the internet”.

Why have the medical establishment fought air quality measurement and purification at every step then?

‘I’m bored, so I shoot’ Israeli soldiers describe the near-total absence of firing regulations in Gaza, with troops shooting as they please, setting homes ablaze, and leaving corpses on the streets — all with their commanders’ permission. From July 2024. 972mag.com/israeli-soldie…

Hanner I've had to stop asking doctors to mask as well, as it definitely impacts my chances for proper medical treatment. Their entire attitude changes for the worse after such a request.

it turns out tech bros’ problem with SF homelessness was that it didn’t extend to engineers living in offices
