The British Home Office refused to grant a visa to a Palestinian refugee even though she had received a full scholarship to study for a doctorate at the London School of Economics. It claimed a visa would “harm the public interest.” No further explanation.

Was going to keep this in the tags BUT I think it’s important people understand that sturgeon caviar is only a luxury in the first place because of colonization. Anishanabae and other Great Lakes area tribes (and I’m sure more I’m just speaking where I am from) have been fishing Sturgeon for literally thousands of years. Besides consuming the fish eggs and meat we also made glue from its bladder, bags from its skin and used the oil from the fish as well. Sturgeon is important to many of our tribes traditionally and spiritually. So much so we even have Clans in honor of the Sturgeon. Than European settler-colonizers showed up and like they decimated Buffalo populations to starve Natives they did similarly with Sturgeon. When they pushed our people onto reservations they also created laws and legislation to keep us from fishing and hunting in our own ancestral lands. Than they built fisheries and Damns, destroying habitats and overfishing sturgeon to near extinction.
a lot of people in the notes are saying “this is the opposite of what happened with Lobster” so I wanted to point out that no it is actually exactly what happened to lobster.
Why would it even be a bad thing for it to stop being a luxury good? Everyone deserves delicious things

There’s a super famous singing festival in italy that airs for a week every year. This year, one of the singers, Ghali, did some very remarkable things on that stage. Ghali was born in Italy from Tunisian parents, his career has been going on for a while, but this was his first time on that stage.
He made a song where he references Palestine where he sings: “how can you say everything is fine down here, where in order to trace borders with imaginary lines you bomb an hospital, for a piece of land or for a piece of bread there is no peace” . He also did a medley, singing also in arabic for the first time in the history of the festival.
Last night, during the final, he ended his performance asking to “stop the genocide!” I don’t have to tell you that there’s absolutely nothing pro-Palestine on italian media… and he used the biggest stage he could use to say that.
Today on a tv programme he was accused by the Isra*li ambassador of spreading hate and violence, to which he replied with those words in the following video (credits to the person who translated it here):
The italian TV broadcaster quickly posted a press release to distance themselves from this speech and to reiterate their whole support to Isr*el lol Towards the end of this tv programme, a few hours after Ghali said what you can hear in this video, they read the press release out loud. This is how Isra*li propaganda works everywhere, thanks to the complicity of our governments.
Just want to post about him because he really risked it all and I appreciate him incredibly for everything he did…if only everyone could do the same. And fuck italy and its fascist government.

It’s more accurate to say that republicans gut punch you after saying no
These posts about democrats and republicans being equal really need to stop. They’re not fucking equal. At all. They’re both shit, but one is goddamn fascist while the other is merely apathetic and self centered. One of them wants me dead, while the other just wishes I’d make myself small.
Republicans are actively trying to take away rights with zero chance of progress while democrats are at least generally keeping them in place and very rarely increasing them.
ITS NOT FUCKING EQUAL.
And if you need proof that it’s not equal ask literally any minority in a republican run state and then a democrat run state. They’ll tell you exactly how fucking unequal it is. And if I seem angry it’s because I am, whenever someone votes for a republican it is a vote to increase my suffering and the level of danger I face.
Honestly whenever some lefty pulls the whole “both parties are equal” bullshit on me I’ll just tell them that saying that’s fucking centrist shit because it fucking is! It doesn’t matter if someone is saying both parties are the same because they’re both corrupt and incompetent or saying it because they’re both dedicated to their donors at the end of the day (a true statement) it’s still centrist bullshit either way.
Sometimes you just gotta use the right words with those morons and most of them hate centrists/liberals more than they do the actual fascists because they lack any level of cognitive function above what would be found in a houseplant.
Also even with regards to working class issues the dems are still marginally better than the republicans and anyone who can’t see that is an absolute moron. Like they at least made an attempt at debt forgiveness even if it was blocked. Should they have fought harder for it? Abso-fucking-lutely but they at least made SOME attempt at it whereas the republicans would probably quadruple student debt and bathe in your tears if they could because they’re actual demons.
Oh also while I’m on this shit vote fucking blue. Yeah Biden is fucking shit but as far as I’m concerned not voting (or even worse voting red) is you saying you’re at the very least okay with me getting my rights to transition stripped from me because that’s what the republicans would try to do if they were in power. If not voting was effective do you really think republicans would be trying their hardest to make it harder for minorities and young people to vote? Think about that for a bit.
I was trying to be less extreme but that is entirely accurate and what I would’ve gone with if I wasn’t trying to convince people to see reason

windows has a long history of fucking up their tcp/ip stack and udp packets… idk how but there was a udp based one as recent as circa 2022 lol
I guess I should explain that x86 has a way of setting bytes in memory as executable or not and like Microsoft is deliberately fucking up so that their paged memory is set to executable by the kernel to allow for these rces… buffer overflow doesn’t typically end up to code execution unless you’re really ducking special since memory is marked non executable by default
Some kinda shit I’d expect out of my students not fucking corp released software. Love to see it
I maintain a fleet of ms stuff so I’m constantly reading the news for rces and shit and like every fucking patch Tuesday there’s a big write up about how Microsoft Shitass has patched 15 rces and it’s like how the fuck. I think Microsoft should have the c programming language taken away because as much as they emphasize building nt on c++ they do something more akin to c in c++ so the safety features like smartptrs are ignored. Microsoft kernel devs are the reason why RedoxOS exists because how the fuck do you design a kernel so bad like that. it’s incredibly hard to actually make an rce in your code youd have to be doing something that requires a language interpreter (heh this is why electron apps tend to have rces in them because js exists, and eval() in js especially) or dealing with a lot of reflection at runtime… when writing code I don’t think I’ve ever been paranoid that I’d have an rce bc of buffer overflow
like PIE and execute disable exist so uh it’s really weird to see a corporation suffer so hard from something the rest of the industry just doesn’t have to deal with a majority of the time lol
Honestly from what I’ve seen from time in some bigger orgs its fucking amazing how much shit is just rigged together with code tape. god I miss how bad it was
corporate development mentality is what turned me off from software engineering as a career and is why I hide in the shadows as a sysadmin mocking developers because they write atrocious software I have to manage
Guys, stop being crap to creators. You aren’t hurting Amazon. You’re stealing from writers.
This is an extremely frustrating trend to watch happen. Indie writers already work so hard, and there’s nothing they can do. Amazon doesn’t give a damn, they profit either way.
Please download Libby if you want access to free ebooks that were legitimately purchased by a library. Hurting people like this means they can’t afford to write books.

Pet peeve: activism posts that are like “you should feel angry and sad!” but don’t suggest anything to, you know, actually do. Like OK, I followed your advice, now I’m angry and sad. It sucks. The problem is exactly as bad as it was before. How was this helpful at all
I think the people who make these posts think that if people are angry and sad, it will motivate them to help solve the problem. But being motivated doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll know how to solve the problem, so even if you do take action (instead of just feeling defeated and giving up), it might be the wrong action because you’re misinformed. So you can be motivated and still not be helpful at all.
The people making these posts would be more effective at solving the problems they talk about if they skipped the whole “you should feel bad” part and just gave information about things people can do. Donation links, protests, groups to volunteer with, whatever.
But they never do. They seem to think their job begins and ends at getting people to feel bad, which is both unnecessary and unhelpful! Way to put suffering in the world for literally no benefit whatsoever.

Going to reblog something incredibly horny and having to stop myself “YOU’RE NOT A FUCKING PORNBLOG YOU HAVE COMPLETELY NORMAL MUTUALS, INCLUDING ASEXUAL ONES”
but also hehe porn
On the other hand, it’s genuinely, and honestly, wonderfulwhen I reblog an absolutely fucking degenerate post and I see a mutual, who I’ve never interacted in a horny context with, fucking likes it or, even better, reblogs it.
I cannot stress enough that being open about your sexuality with others is incredibly fucking healing and I’m so glad I have a lower filter now. Every time I see one of these mutuals do this, it genuinely makes me so fucking happy. Honestly.
A lot of people keep reblogging this fundamentally misunderstanding what I’m saying, so allow me to clarify.
BE HORNY ON MAIN
BE HORNY ON MAIN
BE HORNY ON MAIN

I like seeing people’s horny posting
Even if it’s really not my thing I’m like they seem to be having a good time
And there’s something weirdly intimate and beautiful about learning what someone likes even though you have no sexual connection. Like oh this mutual posts buff guys with chest hair and erections showing through their expensive athletic underwear and this one types about lesbian bdsm and this other one is just obsessing over 1 fictional couple. And im over here like i have no involvement in this but it’s good for the humors. My chakras have been aligned
More than 70 years after doctors at Johns Hopkins Hospital took Henrietta Lacks’ cervical cells without her knowledge, a lawyer for her descendants said they have reached a settlement with a biotechnology company they sued in 2021, accusing its leaders of reaping billions of dollars from a racist medical system.
Tissue taken from the Black woman’s tumor before she died of cervical cancer became the first human cells to be successfully cloned. Reproduced infinitely ever since, HeLa cells have become a cornerstone of modern medicine, enabling countless scientific and medical innovations, including the development of the polio vaccine, genetic mapping and even Covid-19 vaccines.
Despite that incalculable impact, the Lacks family had never been compensated.
Doctors harvested Lacks’ cells in 1951, long before the advent of consent procedures used in medicine and scientific research today, but lawyers for her family argued that Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., of Waltham, Massachusetts, has continued to commercialize the results well after the origins of the HeLa cell line became well known.
Attorney Ben Crump, who represents the Lacks family, announced the settlement late Monday. He said the terms of the agreement are confidential.
“The parties are pleased that they were able to find a way to resolve this matter outside of Court and will have no further comment about the settlement,” Crump said in a statement.
