This is not Franklin D. Roosevelt that we’re dealing with.

What the "AI" industry is attempting to do is create an entire workforce addicted to their service and who don't have the competence to do without them.

And to continually pay, a la tollbooth.

They want to skilled folks gone and to pay unskilled folks peanuts, which further solidifes the hegemony.

HOLY SH*T:

Black rain is pouring down on Tehran, Iran following military strikes on their oil facilities last night.

Residents of Tehran are now reporting severe breathing issues.

Is this what "liberating the Iranian people" looks like?

Your guess is 100% correct.

"Feminism" shouldn't be about gender, but about equality. I found this name a drawback, because it feels exclusive, and often is weaponised. "Humanism" is good, appart from the fact that conservative men mostly claim it for themselves.

Aren't all these attributes equally important for adult women to have? I can't imagine why women shouldn't be honourable, just, deliberate, creative or having whatever traits are listed there.

At least I always tried to be all of these things, sometimes even succeeding.

For greedy people, other people who stand in their way are only an inconvenience. They don't care about human cost.

The hatred I feel for the men (it is mostly men, isn’t it?) who started this war, or did anything at all to make it happen or "justify" it, ON EACH SIDE, that hatred will never fade.

Dems saying they will support the war now, well tell me about those 160 little girls and why they had to die.

05.03.2026 15:55 πŸ‘ 19 πŸ” 5 πŸ’¬ 2 πŸ“Œ 1

I think that every mention of this war should begin with the fact that we intentionally targeted 160 little girls to die at school. Like I am simply never going to get over this. It’s how we started this war. That’s never gonna fade away.

Who exactly are the UK’s hard right talking to when they say we must roll over and let the US do exactly as they like with our military? It’s not us is it? There’s a massive majority who don’t want to get involved in a war to protect a paedo, so who exactly are they talking to?

Study suggests most Americans would be healthier without daylight saving time According to a new analysis by Stanford Medicine scientists, changing clocks twice a year disrupts circadian rhythms, leading to higher rates of stroke and obesity.

Yes: Permanent Standard Time will same lives and give us better health.

Of all the pointless changes this one is the most annoying. But IF I were to choose, I'd like the one when there is more daylight in the evening after people are back from work, instead of wasting morning light on commute to work.

I don't think most people understand what "routine" actually means when it comes to autism.

They think routines are just things we've gotten used to repeating over time... and that when autistic people have meltdowns over routines changing, it's just because we're anxious about the change.

Nope.

The only way Trump can crash America and plunder the wreckage is to violate the Constitution.
If he went to Congress for permission to wage war, to impose taxes, to revise the budget, to change voting procedures, as required by the Constitution, it would take forever to do what he's already done.

The grievance industries aka religious extremists and incel communities and racists draw weak, pathetic, entitled men like moths to flame.

Men are the problem, but women and girls will always suffer for it.

I have a fix for this. Fund the BBC from general taxation. That way the burden won’t fall disproportionately on the poor.

Finding the common threads

Though vastly different, extremist movements, such as far-right ethno- nationalists, religious fundamentalists and online "incel" communities, have something in common. The ideological language may differ, but the underlying insistence on women's "rightful place" in society binds these movements together.

Around the world, there is a growing sentiment that "feminism has gone too far" or that men are now discriminated against. In Australia and other Western countries, this sentiment has risen steadily since

2021.

Our research

In our recent national survey of Australian adults and adolescents, we examined general misogynistic attitudes and support for violent extremism.

We asked whether it is legitimate to use violence to resist feminism. More than 17% of all Australians agree feminism should be resisted with violence. It was the second most supported form of extremist attitude.

Our study included a representative sample of 13-17-year-olds across Australia. The findings are even more confronting among these participants.

This is the world young women and girls are growing up in.
