it's wild to me that the group organising the counter-protest is called "never again is now". they're so close to getting it

Actually no deportations have to happen. They're not laws of physics. There's no deportation rule akin to gravity or dark energy. Hope this helps.

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

I think a small amount of manual data manipulation is reasonable, as long as there is an audit trail of who changed what. At a previous level job we used Slack for this and had a #mdc channel where people announced what changes they wanted to make (as an SQL query) and got approval beforehand

Hey, one of the fascists responsible for the misogynistic and anti-queer attacks on itch and Steam is Melinda Tankard Reist, of Australia.

These people have names. It's not itch or "payment processors". It's people like Reist, weird hateful fascist crusaders.

The reception was mostly warm besides an occasional detractor, including a man who pulled Cuomo in for a handshake, took out his phone for a selfie, and as the former three-term governor of New York smiled for the camera, told him, "I can't wait to watch you lose again.

Looking at Zohran vs Cuomo, it's just night and day. I'm not talking about the video editing (which definitely helps). I'm talking about the way he can accurately pinpoint what will resonate with people at an emotional level.

An AI slop factory apparently tried to rewrite our article about AI not replacing workers en masse, but hit the paywall... so just summarised the paywall. If this is the robot that takes my job I'll be v embarrassed

Bidet toilet attachment Made to fit almost all toilets, this slim portable bidet toilet seat attachment is perfect for the first timers. Beautiful and affordable.

i got this one: bidetry.com.au/shop/bidet-t..., the fee was for installation only. it doesn't get cold enough here to justify a fancier one that e.g. heats the water

unfortunately australia isn't much better, but i do have the ability to pay a plumber an obscene amount to fit one underneath my toilet seat so i can live in the future one t-valve at a time

coincidentally i was in the united states last week for work, not a bidet in sight

joke that's a bluesky 9 but a twitter 7

i have a bidet again

I think there are many but this is certainly one of them!

The person I'd hired for this canceled on me the hour they were supposed to start, so, please get in touch if you know anyone that's reliable and professional and would be interested in this project. Thank you. 🙏

4 panel comic P1: A man from the neck --all neck, forever neck-- up, his face lost in the ham hock that is his head. As Abe Simpson once said, he has a haircut "you can set your watch to." He holds up a left fist as he grunts "yuh" Above him, a caption: "Necky McBrad loves the Murk" P2: McBrad stands naked and proud in a desert, holding aloft the blood-striped piece of cloth that is the American flag, which flaps in the wind. "He flies its fleg" P3: A closeup again on McBrad, looking just as unhinged as his jaw, which opens wide so he can stuff the flag in to his gaping maw. "He eats its fleg" P4: A side on profile of McBrad, all terrifying stoicism. "He digests its fleg and gains +1 patriotism" McBrad grunts "murk. ah."
