@IndyRichard The BBC has already reported "thousands" in London. Not tens of thousands, or the more accurate hundreds of thousands, just "thousands". Anyone who wasn't there would conclude it was a fairly small protest by the standards of the capitol, and never guess it was the largest antifascist demo in UK history.

The media in this country is diabolical.

Another good reason to write #imagedescriptions :

You will look more closely at the image and be less likely to be tricked by an AI generated image. This is also the case for finding the attribution for images where possible.

As we return from all the #NoKings marches, rallies, demos, let's remember one thing:

The goal of this government is not to find undocumented people; the goal is to *make* them.

When that is on the board (and recent Kansas, Tennessee, and other state-level legislation make it clear that it's on the board), peaceful marches aren't going to cut it.

People in gaza will go to sleep in a few hours, and they will not be able to fundraise for themselves in those hours, please take this time to boost their fundraisers with your western friends throughout or outside of the fediverse as our palestinian friends take rest for the day!

This morning, Mekka learned that Andy Weir, the person, is a reactionary centrist. I kind of wish he hadn't found out.
Scifi can be funny that way.
The central concept of PHM is "woke". Weir isn't.
Another white dude, Neil Stephenson has always been right-libertarian but most of his fans remember he had gay male characters.
Meanwhile, Scalzi's big break was a remake of an ode to military dictatorship. But, since then, he's put energy into being a good human being.

My child is dying 💔 He hasn’t slept all night due to severe pain, and his condition is getting worse. Our tent was flooded and we have no shelter 😭 He hasn’t received his medicine for 5 days… I can see him weakening before my eyes 💔

I only need £100 to save his life 🙏 Please don’t ignore us… help us before it’s too late 💔😭
