Wrt using google search without ai. Thing is though even doing this the quality of it is still vastly degraded compared to how it was even a year ago? I find myself having to rework search terms at least three times to find anything I'm actually looking for there now.

I repeat: Can we defund the police, abolish ICE, and cut the military budget yet?

Kevin Foster @kevinhfoster.bsky.social · 11h

Feds arrest one person at the Portland ICE facility at around 7:30. The reason is again unclear, but it was likely for stepping over the blue line. They were dragged into the facility by five agents while one filmed.

Powerful speeches at the Sydney pro-Palestine rally in Hyde Park today before a large and engaged crowd. So many great signs but this was sadly my favourite. Thanks Palestine Action Group Sydney. #auspol #SaveGaza

I want to add this, because if you haven't been in this situation, maybe you don't know. When a cop in riot gear is shoving you and yelling "GET BACK," there's usually nowhere to actually get back to, because there's a crowd of people behind you and you literally can't move at the pace they want.

state police continue to push protesters down 25th street. at one point, cops swarmed a group of people and pushed them to the ground.

multiple people arrested.

caffeinated dreams
under blanketed slumber
the warm winds blow in
a grey afternoon sky
darkened trees blare with traffic
neglected battery’s soundtrack
guilt tinged tranquility
slightly sweated feet
curled unenlightened
in thankful repose
cool breeze breathes
shudders of creaky home
quickly, evening

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

To be clear, Israel does not control the US. Israel is a joint settler colony of the West and to the extent its interests influence or coerce individual legislators in the West it's because the West considers the Israeli colonisation project an important one

Sometimes people realise things. Sometimes the break is abrupt. It is easy for me to believe that under the right kind of pressure someone who was very loudly a piece of shit about certain types of people might suddenly find themselves having to very embarrassingly and publicly eat their words.
