Instagram sources report that Israel is currently bombing several places in the Gaza. Remember: 1) Hamas ceased and honoured the terms of the ceasefire agreement. 2) Israel broke the agreement hundreds of times and continues to kill Palestinians.

I'm one of the people who got him to delete the old politics board, I'm not sure I feel about finding out I got overridden by fucking epstein

EVERYONE WE MET OUR LITTLE KITTEN BABY WE'RE TAKING HIM HOME END OF FEBRUARY AAAAYYYYEEEEE

A new study from Anthropic finds that gains in coding efficiency when relying on AI assistance did did not meet statistical significance; AI use noticeably degraded programmers’ understanding of what they were doing. Incredible.

Jesus fuck. Justice for Alacie Iqaluk requires that the government publicly releases everything that they know and CBC and other media share what we learn in an appropriate format.

In case you want to hear me rant about this to a different person!

Citing fear of ICE, pregnant immigrants in Minnesota are -skipping prenatal care -requesting home births, even when not medically advised -going w/o adequate food Many are experiencing complications providers say can be stress-onset: diabetes, high blood pressure, and even water breaking early

After brutally arresting Aliya Rahman, an autistic, disabled woman, in Minneapolis, ICE agents told her that "this wouldn’t have happened if I was a ‘normal’ human being." https://bit.ly/3ZHX3IC

Hi, what you saw in 2020 was states expanding access to mail in voting in response to the pandemic. Republicans found out what happens when they make it easier for people to vote, and now they’re doing everything they can to stop that. Hope that helps.

"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.

Ohh mine is Because listen, this woman got things wrong sometimes but she is 1000% committed to making sure her daughters have good lives. She's got the spirit. Also, Alison Steadman is incredibly hilarious and apparently the reason why the rest of the cast hammed it up in all the right places.

There's really no way to do social media that both allows normal people to talk freely and moderates hateful rhetoric. Any social media site that claims to be getting it right is either allowing nazis to peddle or is limiting content that the owners personally dislike.

I was just saying to Portia that it is a 4th amendment violation. It's driving me nuts that no one is really talking about how unconstitutional it is to be bashing through people's cars and pulling them out through the window

Apparently the delayed vigil at the US Embassy was yesterday and I didn't receive the email about it 😢 (checked spam too) I wonder how many other people missed it?

GenAI should be banned from use in political campaigning. What's next? Generating political opponents saying things they didn't say? (Aside from the fact this is the sloppiest AI slop that ever slopped. SHAME). #nzpol

I just read this article and if it confuses you at all, what's actually happening is the businesses who partner with NZP to provide postal services at their businesses are being dropped as partners. NZP thinks this is an appropriate thing to say, but... www.1news.co.nz/2026/01/28/n...

We had a $6B climate resilience fund and Nationals squandered it all on tax cuts for their mates so now we get boxes of KFC after weather events instead of properly funded supports and help. Yay for us I guess??

Again, woke up feeling good about how I look today. 🥰 I am so glad I saw my dermatologist sooner.

that's cool as hell. may we all follow his example

Predator Free Wellington found that each dollar invested returns up to $2.49 in benefits that everyone can enjoy. These benefits include less damage to homes and infrastructure, safer native animals and healthier communities with fewer diseases spread by rats. reports.pfw.org.nz/2024-25-impa...

There is a decently-sized & relatively recent refugee population in my hometown, and I'm starting to get worried about them, tbh.

My 2 cents, Bluesky, is that your system that hides "scammy" posts is extremely flawed and unfit for purpose. So many normal & engaging posts get hidden. Based on what you've written here, it seems like you are more concerned with lowering your workload than getting that right.

It’s really difficult & disorienting but the feds hit LA extremely hard today. There were kidnappings all over & reported cluster raids in Chinatown, East LA, Ktown. This list shows to 1130 AM but they haven’t stopped all day Just because the media attention stopped doesn’t mean the abductions have

Was always very apt Amazon being named after the most thoroughly exploited, ecologically threatened forest on earth.

Sundance paid for me to travel to the festival so I could moderate a panel on the politics of AI. They pulled me last minute because of my q's for this movie and support of Ghost in the Machine. More details on the pod this week about what happened, but this thread makes me proud I got booted.

For example the video yesterday of "ICE IS GASSING A DAY CARE RIGHT NOW!!" is the daycare right up the street from my house. I about shit my pants and raced out the door until I saw it was actually from Saturday. I already dealt with that daycare gassing, thank you. Please don't lie to me for likes

I decided to go into the office an unprecedented 4 days this week. I think this is due to the Ritalin, which does seem to help I think. I don't feel quite so exhausted every morning.

Let us remember that the NZ police unlawfully raided the house of journalist Nicky Hager after Hager published a book exposing the malfeasance of Judith Collins. Police had to apologise while Collins is being appointed by Luxon to head the Law Commission. What a joke. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3505...

The whole blaming a nebulous mass of imaginary non-voters or voter-splitters (did not happen) on this state violence while ignoring the facts that Democrats are deeply invested in this organisation... It was always going to get this bad, and you just didn't know how bad it already was.

Rakiura's laid her third egg! Doing so well #kakapo www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrwd...

I have a friend who is like a lifelong public servant who's had to work under lots of ministers willingly & unwillingly over the years. Imagine my surprise when he told us JuCo was the best one he worked for because she never punched down on the people working under her & had their backs.

ok the full clip is way better than the little one going around. her whole team try to get her to bail on the event and she's like no, I came to speak. incredible example.

she can also box tbh. blocking hand up, punching hand square and level. dude is lucky her people got him away from that overhand right

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

ICE broke his rib a week before he died. He was out there with a broken rib when he was murdered. I'm sure some idiot is going to try using this against him, but clearly he was a real one.

Why is a group tasked with immigration enforcement within the US—horrible organization or not—being sent abroad? Hm?

I started a new treatment for my face and like I don't know if it will help long-term or not but it felt kinda better this morning and I'm feeling good and confident for the first time in like 4 months. 🌞

Border Patrol shot someone in Arizona this morning outside Arivaca. The murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti are not unusual. Border Patrol agents have killed hundreds of people over the past few years. We know about Renee and Alex because Border Patrol was deployed in a city, in front of cameras.

I unplugged my Google Home when I found the repository of recordings of my ACTUAL VOICE from the past 90 days, and it spooked me because each audio clip started BEFORE I said "Hey Google". This is basically the shit I was worried about AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW.

Yes, it doesn't change anything really, and yes, we can expect more heinous stuff to happen, buuuuuuuuuut yeah I had a pretty great mood all afternoon, ngl

I know people think the US president is a big dumb orange baby, but actually he's very good at managing his followers. He's well versed in sacking his allies, scapegoating them, and switching it up when public opinion turns on him. He'll fire people, and MAGAs will be satisfied. Cycle will continue.

"ICE OUT" on Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis, as seen from my flight leaving MSP airport

Green MPs turned up in boots, and joined in the clean up. #nzpol

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

#BHN Here's the problem for both the major parties, since taking over as leaders both Luxon and Hipkins have seen a constant decline in net favourability. The first party that figures out how to turn that around, probably wins #Election2026 #nzpol #nzpolitics

I have been informed this has been postponed because it needs a permit to go ahead.

I want NZ Labour to listen. You aren't going to win yourselves the election this year with such lukewarm policies and an ineffectual leader. Lots of great MPs in labour, but your convictions will get the country nowhere if you keep your heads in the sand on this.
