Actor Pedro Pascal, who has a trans sister, is not going to allow JK Rowling to celebrate her "victory" over trans people at the UK Supreme Court without issuing a challenge to her:

“I can’t think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorising the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist.”

For some reason the Govt of South Carolina publishes the home address and number of its state legislators.

Anyway, here are the website links and office numbers to the 6 MAGA Extremists who intro'd a bill to allow SC to execute women who get an abortion: https://www.qasimrashid.com/p/s-carolina-intros-bill-to-execute

#MittRomney is worth $250 million and can afford all the security he needs to protect him from his party’s fascist base.

I cannot understand why Big Journalism isn't yelling from the rooftops about the Republicans' voter suppression crusade -- in state after state, working to rig elections.

Even on the rare occasions when journalists notice, they talk about a single state with zero context. It's like spotting a brush fire but never observing that the entire forest is ablaze.

The Republicans are engaged in a direct attack on people's right to vote. It is a direct attack on democracy.

And our media won't see it.

Hello everyone, I’m Maartje De Meulder. After spending years on X, I’ve decided to give Mastodon a try.

I’m a senior researcher at the University of Applied Sciences Utrecht and I split my time mainly between Belgium, the Netherlands, and Norway.

I’ll be mostly posting about all things language, disability, and technologies, and how they intersect, along with navigating academia.

A new rule for journalists.

End the interview on the first egregious lie.

Turn the lights out, switch off the recorder, get up and leave.

And your report should state clearly that this is why the interview was terminated.

It never should have been tolerated in the first place.
