Public schools signal ‘cultural’ Palestinian scarf can be worn following accusations of racism Jad wore his family’s keffiyeh to graduation but that got him banned from his formal.

NSW Jewish Board of Deputies president David Ossip said he was concerned by the department’s decision.

No need to sneer at sex workers, I must say.

YouTube video by Vlad Vexler Chat Trump's Anger At Putin & Bibi Is Not What You Think

Vexler grasps the psychology better than anyone I've seen. He sure as hell called that orange man would get more dangerous after his peace president schtick fizzled.

YouTube video by Vlad Vexler The Real Reason Trump Submits to Putin

This is why we don’t intermingle with you outside species, the risks are too great

Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music

Several dozen folks did

Some even dubbed music over the original clip.

I haven't been able to get this out of my head.

So I give you

A Bluesky exclusive:

Reservoir Ducks

someone at the pentagon frantically typing “Claude, open the strait of Hormuz for me, quickest possible strategy, make no mistakes.”

These are the people who'll use generative AI to write their stories and generate the music for their playlists (not just the playlists themselves).

At least, that's who I assume AI-generated music and books will be for.

This is the largest oil supply shock in history in mb/d
The enemy gets a vote. Iran is now delivering pain to Trump via multiple paths
(1) Gulf Kings

It is absolutely insane that the US appears to have targeted desalination plants first – putting them onto the board. Iran seems to have already retaliated against one in Bahrain. This is one of the most obvious ways this could spiral.

Bowie and Iman? Has someone mentioned them already?

maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but this is the wildest shit I've ever heard a white South African say and I study racism for a living

I've actually softened some of my views on gen AI in recent months, but the inability of the enthusiasts to understand this point Faine's making remains a major sticking point for me.

I was reading that the shipping industry believed it would resolve quickly because “it would be too catastrophic to not resolve quickly” but it turns out that’s not how things resolve?? is this bad??
