This averages out at a violation roughly every four hours, around the clock, continuously since 10 October. At what point do we stop calling it a ceasefire when Israel has just literally not ceased firing

Yea same, I’m a little afraid of it jumping the shark, so to speak, for season 3. But the 2 seasons so far were remarkable!

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Q for Irish BlueSky: It’s not my first time voting in Ireland but I’ve gotten conflicting answers in the past, so it’s still a bit opaque to me.

Is it better to give candidates you’re not interested in a lower rank or no rank at all? Thanks for your help! #Áras25 #speirgorm

Mikeno is on Gaza waters and 20 or so ships are following, but Mikeno apparently sent a distress signal about 10 hours ago, so no one knows if it's actually boarded by IOF

there's no confirmation from anyone on board or on the flotilla yet, as rest of the boats are small

Google won’t be forced to sell its Chrome browser and can keep paying companies to keep its search engine as the default on smartphones, thanks to a federal ruling.

In other words? Google gets to remain a monopoly and keep its harmful, anti-competitive practices.

Shameful.

It’s a huge bummer to watch people use a lack of media literacy as a dismissive rejoinder instead of doing things to increase said media literacy.

Just explain the thing that you think other people are missing, and then people can know!

Apple TV openings all seem to have a similar vibe, too. Perhaps a not-so-subtle reminder of which subscription service you watch more of, so don’t cancel or you’ll lose all these similar shows!

Again we see the incoherence of right-wing policy. Rounding up homeless people and imprisoning them *is* housing them! Punitive solutions to this problem also cost a shitload and require a massive bureaucracy.

They are fine with providing housing, but only if it is ineffective and dehumanizing.
