If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

The USS Gerald Ford is on its way to go hunt civilian boats in the Caribbean. This one ship probably has more aircraft and firepower than most countries' entire air-forces Those civilians are fucked.

Such a relief that Russia lost in Caerphilly.

Musk says there's a limit to AI's ability to improve human productivity, but there's no limit to its ability to improve productivity when it is embodied... "that's why I call it the infinite money glitch" folks

The government is cooked, the economy even more cooked-er, but I just found a 4 part series on @tg4.bsky.social about capailliní (ponies) so things aren't all bad.

Looks like Cancel Culture is... out of control. (God this is an old meme.)

I'd love to see details on what kind of jobs this is expected to generate, as data centres don't need that many employees and not high-level ones. More data-centres in the UK could just mean an increased ability for US companies to sell us their product, with all the cash going out of the UK.

No @theguardian.com, he did not link the vaccine to cancer, her *claimed* there is a link.

This is absolutely insane.

The world’s leading genocide scholars’ association has passed a resolution saying that the legal criteria have been met to establish Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, its president says. There was no immediate response from the Israeli foreign ministry.

Waiting to see if the government will treat this as seriously as they did some people throwing paint at some planes.

At some point the government are going to buy those magic beans, and it won't just cost £2 billion - they'll give away all our personal data as well.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

This Weeks Editorial Cartoon: The Best In-Detentions

Think of all those pro-Israel pundits you saw on your television screens this past year trying to sociopathically justify the mass starvation of Gaza by robotically claiming Hamas steals the aid. They were all lying. Shamelessly. Even the Israeli military confirms it now.

Wow! The actual, real Elon Musk now follows little old me! Dare I dream that maybe he might allow me in on some once-in-a-lifetime crypto deal?

Police in Canterbury today informed a protestor that the phrase "Israel is committing genocide in Gaza" could be considered a declaration of support for Palestine Action and therefore a terrorism offence.

Tony Blair’s staff took part in ‘Gaza Riviera’ project with BCG https://on.ft.com/40Akc0s

Thanks to "new evidence" which no one is allowed see, the Trump admin has confirmed that Iran's nuclear facilities have been destroyed. This could potentially be awkward next time they want to say Iran is weeks away from having a bomb, but it's not like anyone will call them out on it.

Watching news on @tg4.bsky.social is kind of wild. They lead with local objections to a mussel farm in Kinsale, then spend a long time talking about planning permissions in Galway, then after all that they just casually say "oh yeah btw, Israel did a bombing on Iran because of nukes or whatever".

I know this looks like a big change, but my money is that Musk is just on a come-down right now. As soon as he gets his re-up, it's going to be game on again. Don't worry Trump and all the others will forgive him, having hundreds of billions of $$$ buys a lot of forgiveness.

Today, as part of the @techpolicypress.bsky.social and @datasociety.bsky.social "Ideologies of Control: A Series on Tech Power and Democratic Crisis" series, @emilymbender.bsky.social and I write about the myth of AGI. www.techpolicy.press/the-myth-of-...

I made this months ago and it didn't get much attention but I'm still very proud of the joke

Palestinians gunned down while trying to reach food aid site in Gaza, hospital says

A year and a half ago the world knew, as reported even by US media. Israeli forces removed all medical workers from a hospital and left newborn babies to die of starvation. Alone. And then rot. The journalist who took the photos was then assassinated.

RT if you hate this dog and think it’s time he was “taken to the farm”! 💪💪👏👏

I blame the father.

Zoya, a Kherson local, was attacked by a grenade dropping drone while trying to get medication from the pharmacy. She was wounded, and pulled to safety by local police. Sent for treatment for her wounds, she retells her story of her experience with the "Human Safari".

NYT: One estimate finds that DOGE’s “firings, re-hirings, lost productivity and paid leave of thousands of workers” will actually COST taxpayers “upward of $135 billion this fiscal year.” @nytimes.com 🤡 www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/u...

Trump has slashed the NIH and NSF budget, hired an anti-vaxxer as head of Health and Human Services, and filled the government's web page with crazed conspiracy theories. Here's why we just published a volume on the left's war on science. by Lawrence Krauss and Steve Pinker.

We’re eliminating programs that save millions of people from disease And ending a lot of research that has cured diseases and will cure more Because we need to funnel resources into AI Because someday it may be able to figure out cures for disease Do I have that right?

Put up by Katy Brand today - this is the story over and over again

France is moving far too fast against Marine Le Pen. by Merrick Garland

Asmongold failing to realise that of all the "creative" jobs out there, people who just react to content are among the most easily replaced by AI.

The world fades to black... digital black.

“Forget the Signal Chat, What About the Yemen War Crimes Revealed in It?” Much of our media is missing the biggest story of all: US officials are not just breaking US and international law but confessing to it in writing. My latest for Zeteo, read/share/subscribe:

Not the most serious part of this story, but I thought this response by Mike Johnson was funny "What you did see, though, I think, was top level officials doing their job, doing it well,” If this is them doing their job well, what would a bad day look like for them?

@ditzkoff.bsky.social From now on in every White House Chat:

WHOA. On March 15, a Cornell PhD student with UK and Gambian citizenship, here on a student visa, filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn Trump's EO aimed at foreign students accused of "antisemitism. Last night, the DOJ emailed asking him to come to ICE to be detained and put into removal proceedings.

NEW! Sworn declarations filed last night confirm the Trump admin sent INNOCENT people to rot in prison El Salvador, including a professional soccer player jailed and tortured by the Maduro regime, who entered this country LEGALLY to seek asylum, and who has NO CRIMINAL RECORD in either country.

Sounds like Trump wants to occupy Ukraine now. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cl...
