@leslieleeiii.bsky.social was one of my favourite voices on Covid & I'm devastated to hear about his passing. A brilliant writer and ally. Incredible loss for our community 💔

In Aotearoa/NZ the crypto lobby is claiming they have support from NZ Green Party(?) and their working group is called DAWG. The call for regulatory clarity is just a call to legalise crime cryptocurrency.org.nz/news/bitcoin...

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes. Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

Because a bunch of paranoid Facebook-addicted parents are worried about their teens seeing anorexia/sui bait and have no mental model of platform regulation, we're gonna end up with a worse form of internet censorship and digital ID than the cookers were claiming about contact tracing apps.

The scope of what crypto entails is huge, no matter how "ridiculous" you think crypto is, NOTHING is stopping them from executing on these goals. Crypto = "venture capital financial products" and "venture capital financial infrastructure" finance.yahoo.com/news/coinbas...

DHS secretary kristi noem point blank executed her puppy & dumped his body in a landfill?! none of these ppl care about animal welfare. the admin is shutting off 40m ppls snap benefits causing them to starve. they don’t care abt human welfare either.

🚨 Calling all journalism educators and AI abstainers, is there a set of teaching and assessment ideas somewhere to help resist the deluge of slop? How can we still teach our profession and the art of writing in this moment? Any thoughts and resources greatly appreciated. 🚨

1. the compute power is barely there on desktops in 2025 to run a model anywhere near the performance of the cloud APIs, mobile has no hope 2. gonna fall back to cloud a lot and obscure that bit 3. might hypothetically be usable applications in the fabulous future? 4. anything to sell a chip
