I live multiple most nights and it suuuucks. Sending happy wakings!

A lot of people think it would be cool to hang out with Henry Cavill but it's really not. He always reaches over while I'm driving and honks the horn. When I tell him to stop he just laughs and says "Honky Cavill".

"Shocked and appalled" they got caught. And will be asked demure questions for a day.

Let's remember Coster brought some truly nasty surveillance tech into the police force, etc.

We only rate dogs. This is a family of Suburban Gold Fairies. It's rare for them to travel together like this. Very magical but please only send dogs. Thank you... 13/10 for all (TT: hdbrosriley)

And then Viv saying "at the end of the day".

* applauds. loudly. *

In which Nicola Willis says "the other parents of kids my age" 🤣

We know she's a mean girl but bwaha!

Heh. Gave the dogs their morning raking (two double-coated dogs, neither small, in spring blow O_o) and the sparrows and other wee borbs have already cleared it all :D

Remember, folks: that floof is prized nest material for wee dinosaurs. Don't chuck it'

Future of Te Huia The Te Huia passenger rail service has been operating between Waikato and Auckland since 2021. Whether you have travelled on Te Huia or not, we want to hear your thoughts about the service and what it...

"According to the publication, the communications could demonstrate willful infringement, potentially leading to enhanced damages of up to $150,000 per work, a massive increase from just $750."

The fact that it was ever at $750 is a slap in the face.

Consequences?
OMG it's the inequality, you ultramaroons!

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Drax received logs from cutblocks in BC containing 90% old growth forest, a Canadian investigation found.

Inside the Data Centers That Train A.I. and Drain the Electrical Grid A data center, which can use as much electricity as Philadelphia, is the new American factory, creating the future and propping up the economy. How long can this last?

This New Yorker story on how America's AI-driven boom in data centres began, how they're used and the implications of their proliferation is a very useful read. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

An AD campaign?!

Thinking about next year’s election feels like I’m playing a game of shag, marry kill “We want mince to be affordable again. For butter not to be $15. To be able to pay your power bill. To feel like you can stay here as a retiree - and a young person,” says Verity Johnson.

We need more political analysts saying out loud just how much we are crying out for the kind of sea change we’ve just witnessed in New York - and how across the board, we’re just not meeting that need or this moment.

Aaah, Saturdays. Where I eat way too much, snooze and stay supine all day :P

I could try to make moral arguments about spending your Spotify fee on one Bandcamp album a month.

But let's go simpler. It is *so easy* to just switch from Spotify to Tidal, Apple, or Qobuz! You won't barely notice the difference! You can move your playlists! The audio quality is better!

The LLM thing is remarkable because if anyone was like "I never went to medical school anyway here's my magic anti disease device pls give 100 billion" they'd be laughed out the room or beaten with sticks but we're supposed to let guys who never read a book hand us an app claiming it'll write them

The diagram for what Palantir does is like if Richard Scarry got super paranoid and did an Apocalypse picture book

Layoffs are reaching their highest levels since the pandemic, but America's corporate elite have never been doing better.

Is it any wonder why so many think the system is rigged?

Absolutely amazing :)

Also: go read Children of Time and sequels, by @aptshadow.bsky.social, if you've not already <3

Lovely!

Toilets and loo rolls are normally there to prevent a void attack :P
