El-Fasher: Rebel group claims capture of key city in Sudan The fall of el-Fasher would cement the RSF's control of the west and reinforces a de facto split in the nation.

This news is about as bad as it gets. After over 550 days of SIEGE, #Elfasher has now been taken by the Rapid Support Forces (a rebranded Janjaweed, who committed the 2003-5 genocide in Darfur)... and the violence that has followed is horrific. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Some of the footage dripping out from there is horrendous

Good question - don’t know! Will have a look and see…

UK justice ministry adopts ChatGPT to cut red tape OpenAI has signed a new agreement with the UK Ministry of Justice (MoJ) that will see 2,500 civil servants gain access to ChatGPT.

I don't trust ChatGPT with shit, and yet the UK GVT seems happy to let the MINISTRY OF "JUSTICE" onto it? I CANNOT www.cityam.com/uk-justice-m...

how loud do people need to be talking in a quiet coach for you to justify saying something to them? 🤔

Kevin roose is obsessed w anthropomorphising LLMs. Why??

A teen wizard runs a magic makeup business with resources from his Fae, Merfolk and Undead friends. When he learns someone is stealing these same items–and there’s a link to his missing dads–he must find the thief or risk losing his friends, his business and the chance to find his parents #DVPit #GN

When two ex-best friends are reluctantly crowned persons of honor, their petty feud escalates into all-out sabotage. When the bride vanishes a day before the wedding, they’re forced into a frantic search, only to discover the one thing they can’t sabotage is their feelings. #DVPit #romcom #MF #Black

BEST THING AND MOST TERRIFYING THING: having your friends (who u dearly respect!!!) read your work 😭🤩🥳🤪

Like, ‘okay they built a product by stealing loads of data but we want to be at the cutting edge so it’s fine and oh yeh stealing other people’s shit is how Great Britain built its wealth anyway so all good it’s fine nothing to see here…’

I’d be embarrassed 🤭

Watch yourself! 😏

A huge thank you to @alomshaha.bsky.social and Rebecca Struthers, on their launch for their book- ABOUT TIME.
A brilliant book concept for young readers, about the history of telling time and clocks.
The venue - Watches Of Switzerland on Regent Street was super cool!!
Take a bow, Alom and Rebecca...

This is unsurprising. When I first started on the patch in 2012, they needed two MWDs (workers) per rig. By the time I moved job two years later, one MWD was responsible for four rigs, via remote platforms etc. I was almost completely automated out in a tiny period of time.

Anytime folks bang on about Denmark’s gender equality and what not, I like to remind them of how they treat Greenlander folks. This story is terrible, but not surprising: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Famine confirmed in Gaza City is 'failure of humanity', UN chief says A UN-backed body confirms famine in Gaza Strip and surrounding areas, and says half a million are facing "catastrophic" conditions.

I am ashamed to be living in this time.

Yeh this is what I thought! I did this all about a year ago but maybe it’s time again…

Maybe the 13 mini is where I need to go…!

The surveillance stuff w android isn’t as good tho - Apple does care more about privacy imo, no?

Gosh I’d never thought about it from this perspective- gosh you’d think buying a tractor would be enough!!! Wild.

England doesn’t even have a map of who owns what land (individuals, not shell companies/obscure bodies) - imagine this!

Yeh I’ve been looking at this for a while now!! Haven’t been able to make the jump tho…

Urgh this stuff 🫠🫠🫠 annoys me to no end!!
