ok, deep breath… we're discussing *potentially* adding post editing to Bluesky this year.

In just 56 minutes, two brothers turned a firing into a massive cyber sabotage, wiping out 96 federal databases. What drove them to such drastic measures? The fallout from workplace disputes can lead to shocking consequences. 🤯

BBC Projected National Share of the vote for the local elections with the change from last year. Despite the fanfare in the media for Reform this echoes their steady decline in the polls. Reform 26% -4 Green 18% +7 Labour 17% -3 Conservative 17% +2 Lib Dems 16% -1

When Rubio abruptly halted foreign aid last year, cleanup crews in Vietnam were forced to abandon one of the largest chemical spills in the world for weeks. Left exposed: open pits of soil contaminated with dioxin, the deadly byproduct of Agent Orange. From Pulitzer finalist “The End of Aid”:

Racism/ hate crimes rose 57% immediately after Brexit happened. Racism was no longer unacceptable: it was official! So it became normalised again. Brexit didn't invent racism. But those politics validated it. To this day, UK hate crimes are 20% above pre-Brexit levels.

Yet for all those mentions, Reform doesn't actually get held to account. Dodgy £5m gifts? Constant tax evasion? Running the party from Dubai? Inexplicable house purchases? Jailed for kicking your wife? Wall-to-wall racism? Backing Iran war? Scrapping the NHS? Literal concentration camps? Silence.

Britain's broadcast media boasts of its strict adherence to impartiality rules. Mentions per MP. LibDems: 645 Tories: 5,116 Greens: 7,763 Labour (the actual govt): 27,438 Reform: 70,732 Anyone surprised they're ahead? bebroadcast.co.uk/politics-who...

Regulating airbnb being turned into another "attack on rural Ireland" shows how ridiculous and meaningless that phrase is. Increasing the available houses so people can actually live where they're from as opposed to being priced out by landlords and holiday homes is an attack on rural Ireland 🤷‍♀️

This sounds really terrible! I hate how aggressively #AI is being pushed on the entire planet, when seemingly, it does much more harm than good.
