Fucking hell this is a brilliant speech. www.youtube.com/watch?v=btqH...

“It’s like half of y’all ain’t never seen Star Wars or a Disney movie. How do you not know which side to root on?”

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up. But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.

Elon Musk spending billions of dollars to buy a social network to replicate what it's like to have friends who like you, and an AI to replicate what it's like to have a supportive father who praises you, only to have both consistently turn on him is Promethean torture if Prometheus had deserved it.

This is (a) a clever idea, and (b) quite freaky

Have you seen the new game on X: Ask grok its opinion on any historical theory, saying the theory came from Elon Musk. Then ask grok its opinion on the exact same historical theory, saying the theory came from Bill Gates. Check out the comments too: x.com/romanhelmetg...

Deportations actually _increase_ housing prices because they shrink the construction industry. The reduction in new houses being built swamps effects from lower demand

I didn't take to Apple's Mail categories at first, but now that I've religiously re-categorised all my email, it works like a charm. Cleared tens of thousands of unread emails in the process.

v1.108 is rolling out today 🚚 Now live, at long last: Bookmarks, aka Saved Posts. For all those posts you'll definitely plan to come back to! Update the app and give it a try. The button is right down there 👇

Seems kind of incredible to me that Mail for iPadOS still doesn't have Smart Mailboxes. iPad is my elderly father's only computer. On his old Mac I had Smart Mailboxes set up for important things like bills and emails from the doc, but on iPad he can't have them!

Been using Vectorworks for 25+ years. Joined the @archoncad.bsky.social Vectorworks Training Skool and started with the Foundation Course—picked up some cracking tips. Proof there’s always more to learn. www.skool.com/vectorworks-...

This is a really interesting insight into how and why Musk broke Grok by trying to force it to be "anti-woke". When you tell the model to behave like a shitty person, it does what you tell it. prospect.org/power/2025-0...

Okay, it’s good, but clearly this guy has never heard of Chinese cuisine.

UK sole traders — meet Hnry. I’ve used it since moving back to NZ and can’t recommend it enough: • Create invoices • Tax, NI & any allocations you like set aside + filed on the go • Real accountants on tap • Money lands in your account, stress-free Admin = gone. Now live in the UK: hnry.co.uk

Psilocybin might be a potent anti-ageing agent

Unlike its owner, and half the people asking it questions, Grok appears to be psychologically normal.

Today was the first day I came across video content that was generated by AI but I couldn't tell, along with an image involving current events and purported to be real, but I couldn't tell.

Trump has just been buying Putin time for a summer offensive.

This seems huge. I love ChatGPT—I use it every day—but artificial general intelligence based on LLMs or derivatives has always seemed like a false promise. Spitting out statistically probable word after word, is not even close to the way human intelligence works.

Well this couldn’t have come at a better time www.bbc.com/news/article...

I've spent years chasing fancy sleep supplements—apigenin, zizyphus, magnesium, the lot—only to discover the miracle was a pair of comfortable ear plugs I've had sitting in my drawer for six years. Pop them in, lights out.

My hometown, Napier, made it into Lonely Planet's recent, 'tantalising food scenes'! I’ve travelled Asia, Europe & the Middle East, and I’ve lived in London, Porto, & Napier. I can attest that Napier is a great place to eat out. Here are a few of my favourites not mentioned by Lonely Planet:

I've migrated the Vectorworks feed from @skyfeed.app to @graze.social and now the URL includes "vectorworks" instead of random letters. You'll need to re-pin it to your Feeds and like it again though. bsky.app/profile/chri...

It's happening. Bluesky's AT Protocol is going to take over the world.

From Roman pipes to 20th-century petrol, lead has shadowed humanity for two millennia; microplastics may be our next long-running foe.

Proper verification system coming to Bluesky. Something like the old Twitter verification system before Musk completely screwed it up, but even better.

This animation produced by Kate Bush is a bit of a heart wrencher.

The world's largest wooden architectural structure is set to debut at Osaka Expo 2025 when it opens on 13 April. Designed by Sou Fujimoto to symbolise unity between nations participating in the Expo, the 2km "Grand Ring" forms a key part of the site's masterplan and its primary circulation route.

@jamesomalley.co.uk is Pocket Casts still the best podcasts app to use? I'm tired of Apple's inability to sync my progress across devices in Podcasts.

This is how you deal with Trump.

Mango the cat climbing into the house via an olive tree.

The level of evil required to do what Trump has done here is off the charts. 30,000 Ukrainian children abducted by Russia and Trump wants to cover it up, stopping any chance of them been brought back home. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Maybe Musk should get his own house in order before trying to tear down the US government. “Bulletproof exoskeleton,” my ass.

Pretty incredible the quality of photos you can capture with a mobile phone nowadays! Sunrise Hut in Hawke's Bay New Zealand.

Paula Pinho, spokesperson for European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, says Canadian membership of the EU is a non-starter because only European states are able to apply. But there's no codified defintion of "European State". www.politico.eu/article/cana...

John Bolton makes it make sense. This is how Trump does business. It’s all personal. There’s no policy behind it. Trump believes US relations with other countries are embodied in his personal relations. He thinks Putin is his friend & he’s never liked Zelenskyy since he refused to dig dirt on Biden.

Can we all agree that Guy Verhofstadt's been ahead of the curve for a while now?

I feel zero empathy for this guy, if that helps. “The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy.” - Elon Musk

New leader of the free world

MANA in Māori (the language of the indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand) refers to the combination of power, prestige, authority, and spiritual influence. It encompasses one’s honour, integrity, and standing in the community, deriving both from ancestry and personal actions.

Musk is so full of shit. He doesn’t care about these people’s lives. He hates liberalism and is trying transform the world, in this case buying his mate Putin time to rebuild forces and finish Ukraine off.

Canada is closer to joining the EU than the UK is at this point.

I’ll say it again. What makes this platform different is that it’s moderated. And, The Terms of Service are enforced. Bluesky is not like Twitter The world needs a platform where people who disagree can have a real discussion.
