Vivian Wilson, a daughter of Elon Musk who he keeps verbally attacking at every possible opportunity for being trans, has spoken out on Threads about all the misinformation Musk has been spreading and how her experience of this abuse has been.

You can read many of her statements in the following posts:

1 - Debunking the Misinformation Thread

2 - Response

3 - “Didn't Know I was Dead”

4 - She Disowned Him

5 - Response to Conservative Reactions

6 - Elon Musk Illegally Keeping Children of Grimes

(if your instance federates with threads you may be able to read them directly)

Keep it going, girl! ✨🏳️‍⚧️

"Obviously Elon can’t say the same because in a ketamine-fueled haze, he’s desperate for attention and validation from an army of degenerate red-pilled incels and pick-mes who are quick to give it to him."

The impact of sports provision (or lack thereof) in the state sector is starkly revealed by the growth in the proportion of athletes who went to private school in the Olympics Team GB

Given, athletic talent (although related to early nutrition) is less aligned with class background, this is a clear example of how people's life opportunities (far beyond sport) are impacted by inequality & being elbowed out of the way by the privileged!

Hot take: public transit should not be run "for profit". The profit comes from everybody getting to their destination quickly, efficiently, and predictably.

People will call genocide a 'single issue' and then watch their rights to protest and free speech protections be stripped away in response to it and their funding for education, healthcare and welfare be diverted to continue it.

Have you ever wondered why, all of a sudden, The S*n fell in behind The Labour Party during the GE?

Perhaps, here's the reason...

I just saw J D Vance called a “broligarch-funded shillbilly” and I can only wish I could write half so well ☠️

Just got laid off. If anyone's looking for a senior writer/showrunner/narrative designer I could really use the work, as this was a contract position and there will be no unemployment.

Games industry, audiodrama, screenwriting, novels, anything with story... I have over ten years of experience and I'm good at what I do. #getfedihired

Hello all, this is a reminder that I am available for (remote) work!

My last 4 years were spent as a software engineering manager and I'm open to similar work if your organization is in need!

I lead with humanity and vulnerability, focus on coaching and mentorship, enjoy strategy and architecture, and am known for speaking up when a question needs to be asked or the elephant in the room needs to be addressed. 🐘

Reach out! (and I'd appreciate if you could boost too)

Microsoft now blaming the EU for the crowdstrike issue, because the EU made them open their APIs to third party developers in 2009 is hilarious.

If your APIs had any kind of gracious error handling, this wouldn’t be an issue. Fix your bad code, Microsoft, stop pointing fingers.

Everybody in a UBI study could spend it all on drugs & I would still support UBI.
