Top 10 Protest Dogs!

A riot dog is a stray dog that accompanies street protesters. The term originated during the 2008 Greek riots and stuck due to the frequency of dogs siding with the people.

Too many people fail to understand the role poverty plays in chronic illness.

Money can’t buy health or happiness, but a lack of money can make your health worse & life harder.

Universal healthcare & basic income would do more to create a healthier society than all the “wellness” in the world.

Listen up Mastodonians, because this is important:

Right now we have a unique chance to rise up and hit back against Zuckerberg and Musk. Because italian filmmaker @_elena and her friends have made an OUTSTANDING short film, which explains why people should quit the fascist social networks and come join us in the fediverse.

Hit the fascists where it hurts — make this go viral by watching it and liking it on YouTube, then hit the share button and share it everywhere!

Still from the short film showing @_elena in a sofa opening a laptop.

“Historically, no one lived past age 35” "I’ve heard *so* many versions of this claim, including recently from a menopause doctor (implying menopause is not “natural” because noone lived long enough to go through it). Every time someone states this “fact,” a demographer loses a piece of their soul"

There Were Still Old People Wh...

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

New research from the University of South Australia indicates that remote work leads to happier employees.

Unfortunately for workers, caring about employee happiness was a zero interest rate phenomenon.

I would like to be Chrisjen Avasarala: impeccably-dressed, running things, swearing like a sailor.

But I am Camina Drummer: barely keeping it together, sort of in charge, with a lot of complicated relationships and a strong eyeliner game.

X.org literary hosts and runs Wayland and Weston

Xorg is dead and we killed it. And nobody regrets it.

@moxxi this lady gets so much attention wherever we take her. We also discovered that while she abhors walks around the neighborhood, if we take her into a city, she’ll wonder and explore for hours. Not bad for a 13 year old pug.
