I am going to guess this is when this Weather Station caught fire. #VicFires

So a CBS Evening News reporter actually did a pretty solid breakdown of the ICE murder video, talking to a former agent who details all the ways Ross messed up. And yet: It didn’t air on the actual show tonight. CBS did post it to YouTube—and it has nearly 800k views already youtu.be/6ywLEESFDu0?...

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

hooray, the cool change is here. From 41C to 28C and still dropping. Wasn't a great day to be working outside...

I think, every so often, about how the student protesters in South Korea figured out there was a finite supply of tear gas, and then staged retreating marches that caused police to burn off most of it, before the big "bring your auntie and kids" marches that ultimately toppled the dictatorship.

If a way to prevent deaths exists, and even with those resources available, you believe we should only keep the healthiest alive, you are the definition of a eugenicist. Kennedy is a eugenicist.

New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant “This is a very dangerous tool in the hands of an out-of-control agency.” www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

I regret to inform you that Bolton is back on his shit

The NYT is such a sad joke these days. This isn't Rashomon

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University. (And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.) /

Historically, we've focused a lot on the brutal actions of authoritarian regimes, and today is no different.

Grok has put a bikini on one of the dead victims of the recent Swiss fire ! It's probably the most appalling thing I've seen... 🤬

I went to buy some Brazilian power plugs to replace the plugs on the appliances I brought from the US, and, uh, here's a picture on the store website I can't even

The lesson isn't meant to be "oh wow, those hard-headed Athenians really kick ass". It's "dude, if you keep shoving people around like that, someone's going to shove you back".

People who fancy quoting the Melian Dialogue ("the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must") ignore the fact that Thucydides was clearly portraying this as the kind of hubris that squandered Athens' primacy and paved the way for a devastating peer war that it ultimately lost.

Hey, @drdorotask.bsky.social is here on Bsky! Such cool work. We think that retinas degenerate with time and that if all of us live long enough, we’ll get AMD or other neurodegenerative diseases. But Greenland sharks manage to live for hundreds of years and repair their eyes. How?

And everywhere but one station now at or above 40c across Melbourne. Hottest so far Avalon at 43.0c 3:03pm #MelbWeather

We’re entering the age of AI slop that people believe en masse. This post is 100% fake and probably AI generated. All made up. Yet massive number of upvotes, views and shares. Journalist @caseynewton.bsky.social got in touch with the “whistleblower.” The guy faked all “evidence” with AI…

I think analysts specifically, and society more broadly, underestimate how much white supremacy and belief in conquest and racial hierarchy motivate the decisions of this administration. Like yes its "neo-royalism," yes its oil, but also its white supremacy.

Casey did basic due diligence here, and it's depressing (and not even a little surprising) how many people wrote takes/stories on the post without doing that.

We have published the following update to our article following an email response from the New York Times. Trans News Network has a policy against platforming bigotry. As such, we have declined to publish the Times' statement which included blatant transphobia.

OK, so uake Brutalist Jam III is insanely cool. Any boomer shooter fans need to play this immediately. While based on Quake, it stands as its own thing - the architecture, level design and atmosphere are off the charts. Play it. www.slipseer.com/index.php?re...

I reached out to the author of this viral Reddit post thinking there might be a story in it. He sent me an employee badge that Gemini flagged as being AI-generated and supporting documents that I suspect were also generated by AI. Be careful out there folks! www.reddit.com/r/confession...

Trump is trying to force US oil companies to rebuild Venezuelan oil fields that are too expensive to invest in at current crude prices while a full blown energy revolution is happening with cheap solar and electrification growing exponentially. This is a dying empire shit.

maybe training LLMs on scp-wiki and trash airport thrillers was a bad idea?

Happy new year!

Happy New Year to my fellow vaccinated people who made it to 2025

This article was an absolute delight to read

I woke up this summer one day and couldn't get the thought out of my head: It doesn't have to be this way. Signed up for my local rapid response network to minimize the cruelty of ICE; been to dozens of protests at my local authoritarian car dealer. If you are reading this: you can do this too!

#Sudan: Following multiple reports of imminent attacks by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the Dar Zaghawa region of North Darfur, MSF was forced to cease activities, evacuate our teams and withdraw from Umbaru, Kornoy and Tina on Dec. 24.

One of the best to ever do it
