"It is an act of love for Palestinians to patiently counter myths while their loved ones are being killed."

Pass the Rice, and Please Explain Your Genocide
At a thoughtfully organized dinner in Oakland, Palestinian culinary activists shared more than just food — they offered their stories, their resilience, and their patience

WOW 🤯
The number of times a State of Emergency has been declared this year in New Zealand ALREADY matches the 2025 total.
It’s February.
This is what the Climate Crisis looks like.

I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

This is disgusting, and dehumanizing, and unfortunately coming to damn near every platform you can think of. Multilingualism isn’t an inconvenience to be “solved” by technology. We have to push back.
Discovered today that Instagram had turned on (without my opt-in) automatic AUDIO translation of any reel that shows up in my feed not in English USING AI TO MIMIC THE SPEAKER’S VOICE and WOW it was creepy and upsetting.
You can turn it off in “Language & Translations” in Settings. 🙅🏻♀️

Used to be that robber barons would give away vast sums of wealth to charitable causes to launder their reputations. Now the billionaires just try to control the narrative by buying up the media companies
Fascinating chart with one outlier: Warren Buffett.
At the low end, giving 0.06% of one's wealth is equivalent to:
Net worth -> Lifetime Giving
50K->$30
100K->$60
500K->$300
$1M->$600
Most folks give far more by % in a *single year*.

PSA for those with elderly parents:
There is currently a Facebook scam telling people they have won Whittaker's chocolate.
It requires them to enter their credit card details & pay a small delivery fee ($4 in my Mums case).
Mum is now ringing the bank to see if she has to cancel her credit card.

Let’s remember that this is not some natural spectacle like monarch butterfly migrations, these are manmade conditions that separate families for most of the year.
