I think a LOT of journalists have no idea how much credibility elite journalistic institutions have burned with the public in the last decade. They'd do a lot better examining why that's the case instead of reflexively defending those institutions every time there's criticism...

"Developed" nations make inequality ridiculous and focus wealth among a small percentage. Those same "developed" nations: "Why isn't anyone having kids?"

For the avoidance of doubt, the actual phrase is: "One bad apple RUINS THE WHOLE BUNCH" Thank you for your attention.

Because it is. Ask any Māori.

Pleading guilty and being discharged without conviction seems pretty messed up...

What could possibly go wrong with random roadside drug testing... This is so much worse because there is significant evidence that medication significantly reduces road accidents for men.

Oh wow, the police involved in a cover-up regarding their own behaviour. Not the same people who falsified alcohol breath testing?!

Stolen valor vibes

Pets mourning the loss of other pets is content that doesn't need to be uploaded. 💔

So many tech people revere Einstein, and he would have absolutely hated them and everything they stood for.

The chives scandal makes watergate look tame. How could a novice chef do this?

Seeing the impact of the 4 lane highway on my local community is pretty wild, so many companies, and people are just being told they are being bought out. Some have lived here for generations.

Give the youth third spaces.

It's brilliant and exciting to see Zohran Mamdani elected. More leaders like him please, and fewer like Cuomo, Schumer and the rest of the oligarch-pleasing, hope-destroying, election-losing, right-centrist political class.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law. A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.” Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

Running a campaign on solid moral values and offering solutions to combat inequality that piss off the rich - wildly popular in spite of rich donors funneling cash to undermine the campaign.

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

Politicians should probably get on Bluesky to get better in touch with the American electorate.

Making mental health funding tied to measurable outcomes in a KPI manner doesn't understand that isn't possible generally. People are complex, short term gains are often fleeting, and will patch people up before the underlying causes undo these gains.

An autistic woman has baffled her friends and relatives by switching career every few days, with each job more strange and confusing than the last, sources have claimed.

“While autistic people often face challenges navigating their social worlds, our findings reinforce the view that autism is also associated with more prosociality.” journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

A reminder that hating people interrupting you and also interrupting others isn’t the hypocrisy that most think it is with ADHD. It’s driven by the same restriction, limited working memory. You don’t like being interrupted because you lose your chain of thought, if you don‘t interrupt, you forget.

ladies and gentlemen...we got him

Billionaires should not exist is the moderate position. If inequality increases more, we will start to see the extreme position, as has happened throughout history.

Went for an MRI on Saturday. I paid $0 upfront, $0 I was billed. Seeing my local doctor costs me $19 NZD. Prescriptions cost me max $100 a year for my family.

"Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need, and the things you own, end up owning you." The critique of consumerism/materialism in Fight Club is the best part.

silicon valley investors: for the low one-time price of $5 billion i promise to lose you significantly less than $11.5 billion a quarter www.theregister.com/2025/10/29/m...

All of the worst people you can imagine announcing they will leave the city if Mamdani gets voted in is the most wild guerilla political campaign for Mamdani. Imagine how much better NYC will be if they leave.

"I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself." - Hayao Miyazaki.

Six years in remission from Crohn's disease, off immunosupressant medication for the last five years. Managing my sensory environment/stress are the things I credit with causing this.

Declarative knowledge... not decorative. This may be a misheard, but I am giving a lot of credit to that. These are very basic pedagogic concepts though. The Battle of Hastings is in 1066. Don't know what it was for, why it was fought, but I had to memorise the year. Worthless to know.

How the fuck do you fuck DNS records in this day and age, and do it TWICE in a month.

Another day, another global outage of critical IT services since Microsoft and AWS replaced a large percentage of their workforce with AI.

Generally believe that group settings (for those who can handle groups) to discover and learn about your ADHD/Autism and reflect in the company of other like minded people is one of the most therapeutic options available to people who have often felt like there is nowhere they fit.

That LGBTQIA+ stats data was so confusing to read.

Who reads meeting minutes? Genuinely curious, as usually anything important is discussed again outside of meetings.

Forgot how utterly dogshit Silicon Valley the tv series was with their tech knowledge. Parts where they "delete the codebase", or wipe files off cloud computing that have no apparent backups.

In fairness, asphyxiation has proved highly effective in terminating all these conditions.

Honestly having a good GP (PCP) is quite rare it seems. But it is incredible being able to go to my doctor asking for a specific medication based on my blood results and health concerns, and having a conversation about why / what research this is based on, and then deciding together on the best plan

The welfare state could be "an essential tool to maintain the social fabric of society, rather than a cost to be reduced"? Why did no-one mention this??

It's like she's doing Pokemon Go but with Nazi war criminals.

Absolutely judge politicians on the company they keep.

Legitimately, nothing speaks to Judith Collins character more than talking to one of the most reprehensible figures in the US government, associated with the kidnapping and detention of citizens and immigrants. When people show you who they are believe them.

Just like the 1930s there is a global struggle underway between democracy and fascism. All of us have to pick sides.
