KUOW listeners give nearly $1.5 million in one day after Congress cuts funding The station raised nearly $1.5 million by 1 p.m. on Friday afternoon in response to Congress slashing Corporation for Public Broadcasting funding.

Holy buckets! @kuow.org raised $1.5 million in 12 hours after launching an emergency fundraising campaign. That is incredible. Seattle stepped up.

Voice of America's prospects appear grim after appeals court order A federal appeals court said it would not intervene — at least for now — to thwart the Trump administration's plans for the near-total dismantlement of Voice of America.

Trump to dine with top meme coin holders, shrugging off ethics concerns White House officials have argued the dinner poses no conflict of interest because the president's assets are in a blind trust managed by his adult sons.

We're an hour away from President Trump's meme coin dinner, where he'll again cross what was once seen as an ethical red line: profiting off the presidency www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... @cqzakrz.bsky.social

just wait for the pre-polls @abcnewsnetau.bsky.social

these people communicate with eachother precisely as you would imagine

A smart decision to ride on the popularity of the new leader (or rather the demise of Trudeau) calling a snap election. Will it pay off? And would Trump backing off help the Canadian Conservatives at the polls?

Canada’s Carney calls snap election as Trump looms over campaign The contest is likely to be dominated by one question: Who can best handle President Donald Trump and the threat he poses to Canada?

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Sunday called a snap federal election, seeking to capitalize on momentum that has his Liberals resurgent. The campaign is likely to come down to one question: Who can best handle President Donald Trump and the threat he poses to Canada?

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

Time to pull my support from WETA.

Text message authentication the worst way to stop cyber criminals - report A major New Zealand security firm says multi-factor authentication is at the heart of some of the most egregious security breaches.

Couldn't agree more - 2FA via text is hopelessly outdated. My phone displays incoming messages on the Lock Screen so that's no good. Get yourselves an authenticator app.

Tyler and I already thought of this:
- Use Afterpay to pay for Jetstar flights.
- Repay Afterpay using your Credit Card which earns you airpoints to travel across the country.
- Use another short-term loaning service to pay off Credit Card debt and earn more loyalty flight points.
- Repeat.

Cartoon title: NZ for Sale... (Again...) There are six houses (the same house just with various expressions). No.1 looks stressed, hands clasped "They say I'm an asset to the country" No.2 is looking up really stressed, "But I feel like a fraud!" No.3 they're tapping the floor, "Sitting here... doing nothing!" No.4 they're tapping have a tearful manner, "I miss being a home!" Beside them a tiny family none child is trying to reassure the house. No.5 now a hand is raised to their brow, "they say the foreign buyers ban will be lifted..." No.6 their poor house is now crying, "More generations without a home..." And beside the house the family now living in a tent.

Social housing stock is getting sold off & the golden visa could un-ban housing to foreign buyers... what a time to be alive.

FBI Uncovers Al-Qaeda Plot To Just Sit Back And Enjoy Collapse Of United States

Arguably the biggest national security breach in U.S. history. Private employees downloading personnel data on every federal employee and tax and social security data on every American onto private unsecured servers. Needless to say, completely illegal and subject to major prison sentences.

Number of threats against politicians nosedives in coalition Government’s first year – so what’s changed? - NZ Herald Threats and online hate escalated between 2020 and 2022 amid the Govt's Covid response.

What's changed? As the article says, having a conservative male Prime Minister instead of a woman makes a big difference

Just asking questions:
How hard would it be for the world economy to group together and exclude the U.S? Think of BRICS, but with more letters (this nations) in that abbreviation.

Cartoon. Title: Mr Seymour came to work on Wednesday and checked his Treaty Principles Inbox. The image shows a man at a computer being knocked back by a deluge of mail pouring out of his computer. The mail has NO! written on each piece, and one has YES. The man is saying, “That’s a ‘maybe’ then …”
