#Wimbledon once helped to stop a black player from competing. Such injustice has never been recognised

In 1971, black tennis players from #SouthAfrica toured #Europe, trying to escape the restrictions of #apartheid. But even in the #UK they faced exclusion. It’s time for this history to be faced

BREAKING: Screen Actors Guild joins STRIKE by Writers Guild of America (WGA) vs Big Media for underpaying artists on streaming content. First SAG strike since 1960.

Just revealed: studios plan to "break the WGA" and "to drag on until union members start losing their apartments."

Best #Bluesky comment of the morning. The mood has soured (again) over there.

The US will buy decommissioned MIM-23 Hawk anti-aircraft systems with missiles in Taiwan, repair them and send them to Ukraine afterwards. https://def.ltn.com.tw/article/breakingnews/4364139

Is there a place here on Mastodon for french learners? I want to see some french posts that I could interact with, but as a learner.

What hashtags/groups/accounts do I follow?

There are three active X-plane programs at NASA, including the new X-66A. Here's where each one stands. https://t.co/yonygmun5T

OMG who did this? I am crying

OTD in 1940, Baltic countries, having been illegally invaded & occupied, held ‘elections’ whose results were released day before vote.

Imagine that happening today.

@taylorlorenz Surely *this* will bring back the advertisers.

I can’t believe I ever thought this guy was a genius.

Japanese protected cruiser Unebi, which vanished during delivery from France in 1886 - a failure that might be related to the fact it was built with the usual happy-go-lucky attitude to stability that seems to have plagued French yards at the time.

Despite showing alarming rolling tendencies even in calm seas, Wikipedia suggests the metacentric height - loosely, how quickly it wants to come upright - was never measured. Perhaps on the basis everyone was too scared to ask...

Apple’s anti-remote policy allows them to legally discriminate against both disabled and older applicants.

- many disabled people are fully qualified to do a job, yet can’t be in an office environment.
- older applicants often have established families that are impossible to relocate. Owned housing. Spouses/partners with established careers.

Being remote doesn’t disqualify you from being able to do many Apple jobs. I was fully remote for 12 years at Apple. Pre-webex. It was never an issue

Just posted this on the bird site - what is the last straw people need to leave twitter completely? I found my limit. I'm leaving.

For me, paying nazi, misogynistic 'influencers' is too far. I've long been passive on Twitter, but used it to distribute content. I can't do it anymore. The values conflict is too much.

I'd love it if some academics took a stand with me. I'm going to delete my (50K+) follower account on the 13th of August. I'm staying for a month to do a count down and encourage others to #DeleteTwitter.

I don't have a recommendation of where is best to go. Anywhere is better than Twitter and its ocean of hate. Appreciate a boost to build a bit of momentum for this protest attempt

It's a good thing Solovyev is going to HELL!

Russian propagandist Solovyev threatens to destroy a Ukrainian city like Kyiv or Ivano-Frankivsk. He feels totally fine talking about murdering hundreds of thousands of civilians.

Terrorist Russia must be stopped.
