LANGUAGE: It’s enslaved persons, not “slaves”. We are people who were ENslaved. When you say “enslaved”, you make clear that someone else did this to us. When you say “slave” you speak the language and mindset of the people who did this to us. This is important. It is not semantics. #history #language #enslavedpeople #Black #Mastodon #words

Be sure to catch the end of this clever NASA "climate spiral" video showing monthly global temperature changes between 1880 and 2021

Now Musk is saying if Apple and Google block Twitter on their app stores, presumably for failure to moderate hate speech and for safety, he will just create a new phone.

So it’s going well, right?

I've never seen so many loonies on a ballot paper. I just couldn't work who to put last.

What a cringe-fest!

Elon Musk trying so hard to hurl insulting zingers at Mastodon. But he just comes across as incredibly awkward and dorky.

He also fails at one of the first rules of PR: don't acknowledge the little guy lest you turn them into the big guy.

@EDOLawyers This is HUGE!!! The end of coal in QLD is coming. The Land Court has just ruled that Clive Palmer’s Galilee Coal Project is incompatible with a range of human rights due to its contribution to climate change. Huge congratulations to our brave clients Youth Verdict and the Bimblebox Alliance who have won their case today!!
