A common theme in science fiction is that if you're in space, don't trust a corporation. And Earth is in space

Further context: Durham city council (Reform UK) cut funding and support for Pride. The Durham Miner's Association and other trade unions raised enough money for Durham Pride 2026 to go ahead - a direct call back to when Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) raised money for mining communities when Margaret Thatcher seized union funding during the miner strikes of 1984-85.

At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.

Stephen Guy, the chair of the Durham Miners’ Association, said that when it became apparent Durham Pride was under threat, he took it upon himself to “encourage the trade union movement to step up and do the right thing, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the LGBT+ community […] They not only raised funds for us, but came to our communities, uplifted our spirits when they were down, and showed their solidarity.”

We visited an old glass factory that was converted into a park and the photos can get very surreal.

That top image reads as a painting using simple images and visual language to create contrast between the space and the dog who is this external force. I don’t know enough about painting to get more specific, but it feels like a painting to me.

I feel like it was pretty well advertised when it switched from captcha to recaptcha that the point was to do something useful with all the effort that's wasted on them. I guess eventually it just became a background thing and less tech savvy people didn't know. But it wasn't really a secret that this is what was being done.

[thebeardedsir]

I could have sworn this was common knowledge for like a decade

I wish more reporters could/would fire back at their bullshit and feigned ignorance.

Like when a reporter gets asked "are you a stupid person? Is that why you're asking questions?" The response should be something like "No Mr. President, I'm asking questions because you're the stupid person, we're just trying to make sense of the stupid things you say"

Insane what a 5% wealth tax on the country’s 1,000 billionaires could do

This is a bare minimum. The democratic party burned every ounce of good will I ever had for it when they strangled Sanders’ campaign out of the media and killed his funding in the primary back in 2015.

it's tough being a feminist who thinks "sexualized tradwife" should not be the default for female characters while also not wanting to share oxygen with guys who call a woman wearing shorts "goonbait"
