What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country? Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide. It undermines police and the law.

Imagine if Jimmy Kimmel had said that we should get together and bail Tyler Robinson out because he's a true patriot. But that's what Kirk said about Pelosi's attacker! Vance Boelter got interviews on Blaze! Trump pardons J6ers! You cannot in good faith compare this.

IT'S NOT ENFORCEMENT IF THEY'RE NOT EVEN CHECKING WHETHER THE PERSON IS AN IMMIGRANT LET ALONE IN VIOLATION OF ANY LAWS OR PROCEDURES

Russia released video of themselves targeting and murdering Danish humanitarian volunteers working to remove unexploded ordnances from Ukraine. A few hours later Trump invited Putin to the FIFA world cup because “he’s been very respectful of me and of our country…”

Sewell going full-on Nazi in the presence of the Premier might get the government to take him seriously.

We couldn’t have designed a worse government to meet this moment. Absolutely extraordinary.

black tie reads as formal today, but they are actually party suits, things you wear when you want to celebrate something.

Live your life such that everyone doesn’t spend ten solid years planning the rager they’re going to throw when you die.

Trying to figure out a way to impress upon my students that using AI to skip course work in order to get a music degree is like ordering food at a restaurant and immediately throwing it out the window in order to get to pay the check

I wrote a cantata, The lilies of the field, which is an Australian take on the Easter story with words by @katherinefirth.bsky.social. I’m pretty proud of it and hope that you enjoy it! youtube.com/watch?v=LX5e...

The replies and quotes to this are really informative. I’m naive, so wouldn’t have thought of using fake candles.

Deleting a post about Israel “accidentally” killing international journalists because I missed that they had declared them terrorists. Everyone involved in this genocide needs to be sent to The Hague bsky.app/profile/yasm...

"PhD-level experts in your back pocket" is a completely nonsensical description of AI but a pretty good description of social media if you follow the right people

Moon alert Melbourne!

Keep the ol’ noggin tickin’ over because it will be in demand.

In the interests of science I present the Milocha.

An AI slop factory apparently tried to rewrite our article about AI not replacing workers en masse, but hit the paywall... so just summarised the paywall. If this is the robot that takes my job I'll be v embarrassed

It's hard to wrap your head around how much money $160,000,000,000 actually is. The cost of ending world hunger and saving 9,000,000 lives per year? $30,000,000,000. The cost of ending homelessness in the USA? $11,000,000,000. Or you could wage war on your own population for 4x as much.

This would be great news if musk was actually good at doing anything

Today we did our daughter’s 12th birthday party. She wanted a bushwalk, so we thought we could do that, and were just hoping we wouldn’t have too much time to fill at the end. This was not a problem because a couple of the girls’ approach was to climb every mountain and ford every stream.

This, but it's every Lay Clerk in the country. "Geoff is our chief mechanical engineer, but did you know he's also a tenor lay clerk in Farleighboroughton Minster, and sang a solo on BBC Radio 3 last week?" It's good that this jobbing clarinetist has found work to support his music, tho.

Britt Paris from AAUP/Rutgers discussing their AI workers' inquiry, a survey + interviews about AI in the workplace. "Professors hate it when students use it, students hate it when professors use it." Nobody likes it when anyone is using it, but we're spending hundreds of millions on it. #FAcct2025

Meta lines up new corporate mascot.

Some idiot has removed the word ‘queer’ from thesaurus dot com.

MacArthur Park, Los Angeles, 6/18 around 9:30am — Unidentified masked terrorists kidnapped an elderly homeless man off the street and bundled him into a private car with no license plate.

is it more likely there's been a secret moon base or the guy Trump appointed as Army Secretary doesn't know what he's talking about, I'll let you guess which side of that I fall on

Strong crema game.

Fully protected cops throwing unarmed people to the ground, keeping the peace as always

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

"We are sad that the journalist didn't dodge the projectile that chose to go towards her" said her employer. Read more: chaser.com.au/general-news...

this is just a masterclass in why you shouldn’t believe news outlets reporting on police violence. just literally ignoring the most clear video evidence you could ask for. the only thing missing is the guy yelling “shooting specifically that woman now.”

For anyone who thinks I'm joking here (and it's funny, but no) rumor is that the National Guard deployed in LA was sent under a 29 day order to avoid housing allowances, which means they have to fully pay for their own shelter. In LA. Zero notice. Durable fascisms don't shortchange the muscle.

And here's the wide angle version where you can clearly see him raise his weapon at her. bsky.app/profile/konn...

Trump deploying ICE and then the national guard to attack US citizens to cover up stories about his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein isn't the first time he's pulled this move. June, 2020 vs June 2025.

Child casualties almost halved, child deaths down by 3/4… All the other stats don’t really matter

Les Deplorables

why we think they have these deep plans when “they are impulsive people who have long lost their ability to think critically and just do the first thing they think will enrich or empower themselves” is RIGHT THERE

They were clearly incapable of playing 4D chess before what makes you think they’re suddenly doing it now

How are you supposed to know if they're actually ICE? Especially since there's been an uptick in people impersonating ICE officials

always bears repeating & boosting: in this environment, doing things slowly and well is a form of resistance

You know you’re winning when you post “We are NOT the Gestapo!”
