Yes, investigation claimed at least 1,200 detainees 'dropped off the grid' from 'Alligator Alcatraz'

The claim is not new — the Miami Herald published its findings in summer 2025.

every single person who has participated in the public harassment or mocking of a trans woman is a monster. you all have no fucking clue how much harm you've caused.

[5195-olivias]

i think they do know, it’s just for soulless ghouls who do things like that there’s a desire to hurt anyone who isn’t exactly like them

[maidthings]

no, its not just for soulless ghouls. its for otherwise completely normal people who have somehow gotten it through their head that the weird cringey girls on the computer aren't real human beings with hopes and dreams and nightmares that will be badly hurt if dozens or sometimes even hundreds of people decide to spend their time making fun of her. They think they're just having a laugh, some of them even think they're doing the world a favour

Cafe at The Portland art museum has Rothko no. 5 cakes. Something intellectually meaty about seeing the painting in person, and then eating a cake copy. The complete experience. Full spectrum.

Two months into the social media ban, a teenager says it's 'useless'

Australia's world-first social media ban for under-16s is two months old, but teenagers say they have found ways around it.

Anabell, who is 15 and turning 16 in February, said she was part of a small minority who were actually booted off social media. "Ten per cent probably got banned, and most of them were people my age that didn't really need to get banned and have birthdays coming up. "I was angry because I knew a lot of people who didn't get banned that should have gotten banned. "I was watching people my sister's age, like only 13, still have social media while I was banned." Adyan agrees with Anabell's estimate. "Probably around 10 per cent of them actually have been banned, and half of that 10 per cent has been unbanned by just using basically the same thing that I did: use other people's faces, use their driver's licence. "Now, really, none of my friends are banned. Everyone has social media."

Shocking. /s

it's finally that time of the year again for the clinically depressed newscaster describing february with disco elysium music

[fallout-lou-begas]

what is the single best line in this video

it's a month that doesn't hold up life any better than it really is

something great happened here but it's over with and that's the way february is

like the desperate flinging off of something that's not true anymore

the expedition is getting desperate. people are throwing things aside

this looks like a place where people who are being punished are sent

nobody is tap dancing or breaking into a rogers and hammerstein song

theyre just barely able to get across the street and hunker over a bowl of chili

most of the birds who can afford it have flown to florida

it's as if there's some awful truth out there in the trees

something that's been bothering you for a long time is out there. what is it?

to hide the bleakness of feb., man invented valentine's day. also mardi gras.

what other month can host a holiday designed to remind us we're all gonna die?

We have "extreme UV" today apparently. Our UV scale is as fucked as our fire danger scale. It's ate the point where my phone says "high UV today" and I'm like "sweet, that's pretty low."

[thistlekiss]

Fire scale, for the non-australians

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#there is no “no risk” option#the scale is non-functional on no risk days

If there's no risk of bushfire it means it's been raining for three days straight and you're preparing for a flood risk instead.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#hard agree with derin#earlier this year we had a day of near-torrential rain#lightning and the works#next day woke up to the smell of bushsmoke because the lightning had hit a tree in the wetlands and started a fire that emergency services#couldn't get close enough to to put it out for another day or two#there is no low risk

[silvergryphonart]

Our country is vast and home to a wide range of ecosystems (from snowy mountains to savannah to tropical forests) and all of it bar the actual rainforest wants to burn. Our hardiest and most common trees depend on fire and grow in ways that encourage it. You cannot exclude fire long term by any means and nature cackles at the attempt

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#babes why are you so blase about your entire country trying to kill you on the regular

Every country has dangers. This is ours. Why are people in other countries so blase about their entire country trying to kill them on the regular via high industrial accident rates, bear attacks, bacterial outbreaks due to shitty shitty food and water safety laws, gun violence, military coups, starvation, earthquakes or tornados? Different places have different dangers.

We are in fact the opposite of blase with regard to fires, as demonstrated by the above fire danger rating. If we were blase it wouldn't start at "plan and prepare". Our high awareness and preparedness with regards to fires means that these days, even truly enormous fires have a very low death toll.

I can't get over the Elon Epstein thing because like. Dude is in the clear. It's glaringly obvious that he never got invited to a pedo party, he kept begging to get invited thinking it was something else to the point where Epstein had to be like "no you are not understanding what kind of party this is" and had to get people to make excuses to avoid him. Dude is guilty of a lot of stuff but he is so clearly innocent of this, he wasn't in the creepy rich guy sex abuse ring, it's so easy to take the win and step back and let everyone pay attention to anyone else.

But the very emails that make it obvious he wasn't involved also make it obvious that the people who were involved thought he was a loser and an idiot and were going out of their way to not invite him, either because they didn't like him or (more likely in my opinion, though I have no doubt they also didn't like him, people who have to talk to him never seem to) they knew he wouldn't be able to keep his mouth shut and would become an awkward loose end immediately. He was obviously rejected from this club by people who thought he was a loser, and the one thing that Elon Musk cannot stand is people thinking he's a loser and excluding him from things. So he WILL NOT SHUT UP about how he totally could've gotten into all the cool child sex parties if he had've wanted to. He keeps ranting about how the reason he didn't go is because he CHOSE to, because he doesn't sexually abuse children and because he was doing IMPORTANT things like launching space rockets, but they totally actually wanted him to go and he could've gone and if he was a child rapist then he'd be the BEST child rapist, way better and cooler than all the other child rapists, he just chose not to be.

Like DUDE SHUT UP. You're actually innocent of something and you won't stop making yourself look guilty! Let people roll their eyes at the emails and move on! Being so desperate to make sure everyone knows how cool the child rapists think you are is weird! You're associating yourself with evil shit that isn't associated with you! WHY do you keep TWEETING about it!

[definitely-not-a-plant]

ok but . the fact that he had tried to join surely makes him guilty of SOMETHING, right? attempted child rape or something ???

[100100110100001]

Well, he obviously did not know what was going on, otherwise we’d probably have known about it sooner. With all the fights and stuff he’d get in with people, he’d probably have tried to use the information as blackmail or revenge or something.

Wanting to “get in” was probably just Elon seeing a bunch of people who he thought were cool (like trump) and wanting to go in too, and then when they barred him (because he’d create problems) it was like stopping a toddler from eating shit, they don’t know WHAT shit is but now that you’re stopping them they really really want it and they’re GOING to throw a fit over it.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

And you'd think that right now he'd be going "wow, I really dodged a bullet with this one", but no! The party's over and everyone's gone home and he's trying to sneak back into the backyard to eat the mystery shit! STOP TWEETING ABOUT IT!
