Not luck, just science, all clear after Wellington-Christchurch-Singapore-Auckland-Wellington! 3M respies for airports and planes (I broke two straps, had backups), KF / N95 for the rest. More details in alt text. Covid is airborne and it's not "a cold." Take it seriously. We *can* prevent it.

Officials are in talks with the US about expanding Aotearoa's attack surface.

Idk man, I think the journalists who have been traumatized the most were not sitting in that room tonight. The feds gassed the shit out of us, knocked us over, sent in the local PD to harass, detain, and hurt us, shot a teenaged photographer in the face and he lost an eye, and that's just in LA

Coming home to Sam and Max

Apparently Max and Sam went on a crime spree last night! This is what the cat sitter just walked into 🤣

Still feeling joy from someone who attended my talk and told me afterward how surprised and happy they were when they heard me say kia ora on the big stage 😊

Saw an incredible talk at Black Hat Asia, then wandered off into Singapore's Chinatown (and wearing some hot new @pepperraccoon.com). The now.

Giraffes, not whales

Just FYI there’s an account on here called @redditspaceviewes.bsky.social (with over 200k followers) that is posting a bunch of AI slop (including a “Saturn polar hexagon” with 8 sides) and claiming it’s NASA imagery. If you see anything posted by them, it’s likely fake.

The now, in Singapore 😊

My cat sitter messaged that they've been "treatsmaxxing" with the cats and in each day's set of photos (labeled "proof of floof") it looks like Max and Sam are swelling 😳🤣

It is impossible to make every single perfectly ethical choice, which we even had a podcast episode about. We all have to choose where we draw our lines and where we make concessions. eedapod.com/the-impossib...

new bsky image carousel is soooooo perfect app design with zero UX sensibilities or considerations. users universally hate carousels and we’ve known this for over fifteen years of web and app design. they only exist for ungrounded UI designers and their behance portfolio from the 2010s

Success. 🥳

In another taxi and not only is the driver masked, I just noticed he has this sticker ... 🎉

Felt lonely, making new friends in Little India

I never cease to be amused by how this app has a community that hates the staff and a staff that hates the community and both sides are completely open about it this isn’t a retirement home it’s a Waffle House

Funny situation where I'm early to rehearse my keynote so registration is closed, security is incredibly tight and strict (they already tried to boot me twice) so I have to be escorted around the venue, the escort had to go deal with something, and so now I'm basically trapped in the press room 🙃

One big political divide is between people who believe germs cause disease and people who believe Those People cause disease. It was pretty evident right away during the pandemic

Leaving the hotel buffet with my little take-away, staff at the door said as I was leaving, all three waving: "We like your mask!" 🥰

The now, in a Singapore taxi

Postcards from Singapore: Cake!

The now, above our beautiful planet 🥰

The safety of our students and staff is our highest priority. Due to the risk to life and probable travel disruptions, all campuses are closing. Please prioritise your safety and head home now if you can.

Fyi: I'm posting travel pics on my Flickr as I go along: flic.kr/p/2s8qUTe

A couple points on this manifesto, apart from the racial superiority subtext others noted. Palantir is a company built on public contracts, they bill the state billions to surveil and target the state's population. The manifesto exists to justify their demand for even more. /1

Sex educator note: sex shaming is a neat way to draw attention to an argument but the 'herpes at a kissing booth' trope falls apart when you know how hard it would be to purposely spread HSV1 in a kissing booth versus, say, influenza. Or... Covid in a kindergarten Just say what you mean, Substacker

Yay another severe weather warning as I pack to get in a puddle jumper to Christchurch tomorrow morning 😬
