Wtf, I found an actual cyberpunk. William Gibson would have been proud of a real console jockey.

Or as the kids say, “raw-dogging spawn drops”
Me, to husband: "guess what 'freebirthing' is"
Him, with a vibe of guessing the most outlandish thing that couldn't possibly be true: "giving birth without a midwife?"
"Yes"
Him, looking stricken that he was right: "oh nooooo"

Aucklaaaaaaaand. Shame AT hasn’t apparently visited another city ever.
The entrance to the 3-storey bike parking garage at Utrecht Central holding 12,500 bicycles. It’s free for the first 24 hours, linked to the station, and used by tens of thousands every day. This is what happens when a country treats bikes as real transport infrastructure, not an afterthought.

The temptation to Chamberlain is born of combining real fear, with weak men. The world really does need better leadership, ready for the pivotal moments of equity, justice, and accountability.
There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

wait lmao why would i believe national are going to increase kiwisaver contributions when *this term* they cut them. And it was a policy, not "oh something had to be cut to pay for something more important", they said "we don't want to pay this anymore. for the budget"
Who cut the $1000 Kickstarter? National
Who reduced the minimum contribution to 3%? National
Who reduced the member tax credit from $1040 to $521? National
Who then reduced the same member tax credit from $521 to $260.72? National.

Don't believe National on Kiwisaver.

Grand opening, grand closing.

X quietly disabled a new feature that showed which country an account was posting from when it revealed that lots of popular right wing MAGA accounts were being run from foreign countries like India and Nigeria.

Thank god for folk like Paula.

You don’t need me to tell y’all how vital long form journalism is to a healthy democracy. We just need to do our bit, read & try to understand others through it.

Mamdani has outright bamboozled MAGA.
Q: would you feel comfortable living in NYC under a Mamdani administration ?

TRUMP: I would. I really would.

Centrism leads to oblivion, and yet the political consultant class, and the idiots who listen to them are ignorant of what they are reaping.

There will always be some obscure NPM package written as a lark by Jeff during a layover between flights, but he forgot about it. But then some Devs at a FinTech found it and it now supports global e-commerce.
aside from Cloudflare and AWS what other internet-breaking single point of failure can we look forward to in the coming weeks

The collapse of American hegemony is being televised.
If this picture was of Obama, you know @FoxNews would do three weeks solid on why the flag was on the ground.

"It was ironic to see Chris Bishop and the Prime Minister complaining that there aren't enough electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles on the used car market.

"That's because they collapsed the importation of electric vehicles when they canceled the Clean Car Discount.”

x/twitter app is now tagging screenshots you take with the x dot com logo in the upper right.

It is intercepting the screenshot and injecting the logo which does not appear before the screenshot is taken.

I would not be surprised if this mechanism was used to inject tracking pixels too.
