Brought the kittens into the bus, ostensibly for formula, but instead it's LEAPING and PLAYTIME. (it's fun, I highly recommend fostering) No sound really, except kitten skittering.

Sun-Times managed to get photographers to that botched raid as it unfolded and they did incredible and brave work capturing the scene — chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

no more experimental sours. i'm going to bed. #nzbeer

i cannot tell if this was a better idea, or if drinking the prior sour has impaired my judgment. #nzbeer #heyday

this was a bad idea. #nzbeer

Did you know that @drmorsetattoo.bsky.social @lofty.tattoo does HP tattoo coverups? For any J K Rowling-related coverup at Dr Morse studio, they’ll donate 20% of the price to Gender Minorities Aotearoa.

i've got to hand it to #dvb for precisely matching the color on the can design to the beer. #nzbeer

I think we should explicitly criminalise the nonconsensual creation, posting & sharing of sexualised deepfakes because the harm is the same as real intimate images shared w/o consent. However, this doesn't solve lots of issues related to deepfakes like this, for eg, the advertising of apps/websites

😑 "The flag was found inside Taylor’s office in the Cannon Building in Washington, D.C., Tuesday afternoon, according to an office spokesperson. Taylor believes it is the result of “foul play or vandalism,” the spokesperson said." no, you've hired nazis, you useless twat.

LOLWUT

big oscar the grouch energy.

I… don’t want to see Marilyn Monroe in GOT? Let the poor woman rest? You already let men she didn’t even know bury themselves beside and ON TOP OF HER, stop fucking using her, you absolute ghouls It’s not enough to make AI women that can’t say no, you’ve gotta control dead real women too?

Anyway, what the celebrities who are doing HP audiobooks and the celebrities who did the comedy festival and so on say to justify themselves should be a little mental Post-It note on your laptop screen in the future when you read news about them.

i'm the only one home and i was just noticing how quiet it is, but then i noticed my tinnitus and now all i hear is my ears ringing. at least it isn't dusty under the bed.

something rolled under my bed and i had to get down and look for it and, well, now i've gone and dusted under there for the first time in a year.

it is saturday early evening and i'm at a pub with a beer and a burger hiding from my children. ahh, raising teenagers.

from my "i'm just a person living through this" perspective, i think you can draw a straight line from mueller and garland to the indictment of james.

We live in a Māori nation. Our Parliament should reflect that more. The haka from the public gallery is an appropriate response to a maiden speech. Suspended Parliament only reminds Māori that they are not welcome to be authentically themselves there. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

The party of ‘free speech’ wants to limit speech. Just another normal day for ACT. www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

@amazingprizzini.bsky.social this is relevant to your interests.

Remember when social media was weaponised against a nonbinary MP so effectively they had to leave to protect themselves & their child from ongoing online violence & threats? That's political violence, too. Where were all the calls for change? Where were the posts of "That's not okay"? Interesting

nazi trolling for the lulz, again. there is something deeply wrong with these people. full video from a student is on r/udub

It's important to name the tools of authoritarianism so we can identify and condemn them with precision. I'm glad we now have a term for ICE's openly racist, degrading immigration arrests: Kavanaugh stops. slate.com/news-and-pol...

i made bolognese and the kid made brownies and for one evening, all is good in the world.

the beatings and harassment will resume until morale improves. (sorry, not a gift link; i'm out for the month.) www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

i made homemade gnocchi for dinner tonight. the gnocchi came out surprisingly well. the sage brown butter sauce was surprisingly meh - insufficient sage, lemon, salty you name it. neither kid complained, amazingly.

my brain dj rarely does mashups, but when it does it's shit like combining arthur's theme with hotel california and setting it on infinite repeat. #SelfEarworm

Can't recall the number of times I've talked to secondary, & even tertiary teachers in New Zealand around what's noted in this article, since early 2022. That it's this bad now is awful. | 'Trump boys' in NZ classrooms: Teachers warn of rising student extremism www.thepress.co.nz/nz-news/3608...

TIL that bsky doesn't do boolean searches. so much for finding a post about an indictment that doesn't involve comey. sigh.

We have inadvertently referenced Star Trek.

this is my incredibly wary face. 🥸

Studied 900 tweets feat. 'autism', & 'vaccines'. Compared this corpus with 900 Bluesky posts feat. same terms. All content posted after Trump's pronouncements. Fascinating differences emerge between conversations, beliefs, attitudes, & perceptions informed by or pushing back strongly Trump's claims.

Employment law specialist Simon Schofield thinks this is great, because certainty is more important than... you know... getting an employment contract RIGHT. that's business thinking, not labour thinking. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

seriously, though, those "never stop being american" ram ads are idiocracy made real.

we aren't even 24 hours into the term holiday and i'm totally understanding why my generation was kicked out of the house and not allowed to come home until the street lights came on.

er... didn't jewel become a MAGA weirdo?

given the toxicity of paracetamol, this isn't a horrible outc WHAT THE FUCK AM I SAYING THIS IS MORE HORRIBLE STUFF ***AND*** PARACETAMOL IS TOXIC SHIT. don't use paracetamol/acetaminophen/tylenol. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

In case you're wondering how it's going, I was just told that taking off for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur is discriminating against Christian opposing counsel.

Asking a majority non-Māori population to vote on whether Māori wards should be kept is racist as fuck. Asking any majority demographic to vote on whether minorities should have certain basic rights that facilitate equity is straight up bullshit. And referendums make me furious.

show me a picture in your phone that has your current energy (and isn't a selfie)

so, water polo is basically basketball but with an offsides rule and a penalty box?

i just saw the most obnoxious truck ad i've ever seen. not that i had ever planned to, but i'm definitely not buying a ram now.
