I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost.

logged in to facebook for the first time in a while to use marketplace and the first three posts on the main feed are full of racist comments on otherwise innocent news posts - wish I was brave/smart enough to build explosives and place them at each of meta's datacentres then remotely detonate them

Bridget McKenzie is a fucking clown 🤡
Bridget McKenzie tells Sky News she understands the concerns of the Jewish community because she is a “Zionist”.

Is that a personal identity now, or just a political brand anyone can adopt? 🤔

anyone know if the IKEA TIMMERFLOTTE temp & humidity sensors act as a Thread repeater/router (not a border router) to help weaker signal devices further away?

Can't hit the repost button often enough on that one.

Great takedown of his _Anxious Generation_ airport book in none other than Nature, BTW:

Banning social media for kids may be good or bad but that guy is a comically obvious bullshit artist with entire books full of trite lessons extrapolated from anecdotes that are themselves barely half-true.

This is what the public has been asking for, and Victoria did it. This matters to the population, not stupid culture wars.

Apple is becoming Adobe. There are two types of apps in this suite: pro media apps and office apps. Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are not used by the same people as Logic and Final Cut. There should be a separate iWork subscription.

good week for movies - marty supreme (looks fantastic, love the safdie bros), bone collector (hopefully better than part 1 which was kinda disappointing) and no other choice (another park chan-wook banger??)

Plugged in the ALPSTUGA IKEA sensor and it works well - CO2, temp, etc all works out of the box - auto dimming LEDs make it work great as a bedside clock too (no pic because only 4 photos here!), which is a nice bonus. The light is less bright than the lowest setting on my current clock radio.

excited to try these out when I get home - ticks all the boxes for a temp sensor I want at home (and no more goddamn coin batteries)

100%. We’ve seen the dossiers on individual targets that get compiled and sent to institutions in coordinated assaults. They’re incredibly detailed. The intended effect is overwhelm, and most institutions are not equipped to understand or resist it.
I wrote earlier about the catastrophic effects of pro-Israel pressure campaigns on our cultural institutions, but it seems no lessons have been learned

Hello Tim Cook I worked at Tumblr when you gave us 48 hours to get rid of all the consenting, adult boobs. Up all night at your whim, out of the blue. But you're still cool with Twitter and its CSAM and revenge porn and whatever the fuck this is? Why do you even HAVE guidelines?
Previously, several of these companies, like Apple, IBM, and Disney, have paused advertising on X in response to antisemitic content. But antisemitism on X never slowed, sexual abuse imagery increased, and all of these companies quietly resumed advertising anyways.

Why isn't there a bigger Grok boycott?
Advertisers, politicians, and investors are still all-in on X, despite a sexual abuse crisis.
