Just updated my handle to the .com I've been sitting on for a few months! :)

I honestly can't believe I got this domain! Cynethryth was the consort of Offa of Mercia and even got her face put on a coin, pretty unheard of at the time!

I still use queencynethryth in a few other places! 👑💚

Hold on, I've always heard "sailors mistook manatees for mermaids from a distance", but is the genesis of that factoid just this doofus?

Renee Good has gotten a lot of media attention and support, which is fantastic. From the way her loved ones describe her, I would guess that she would want us to pay that good will forward to other families suffering senseless loss.

Please remember to turn off auto-play on here ✌️ this thread probably has the info you want to know anyway
i have watched the shooter's video. it's going to make you way the fuck madder.
I have watched the video. I think you probably do not need to watch the video. it shows what you think it's gonna show in terms of lack of justification.

Had a buyer for my cross stitch that offered me $2000 USD, I literally cried with relief at what I could achieve with that amount. After the point of providing all bank details etc, Ive heard nothing. So I’m going to have to put my girl back up for sale. I need as much as possible. Please RT. #nzpol
Finally!!!
I pushed through lots of pain to finish her. Really need to sell her quickly, & for as much $ as I can possibly get… definitely wanting at least $1500 as she’s very big.
78.5cm x 70cm.
Please share widely, I would greatly appreciate the help.

"The quiet revival" isn't real, and we know that because they've counted the people in the pews. Church attendance and specific religious identification is where it's been for decades in the US and Europe: on the decline.

This is Christian identity head-ology shit, not the facts on the ground.

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.

I wrote a thing for Herald! The main point is that, between the injunction and statements by the company itself, we have a pretty good idea what happened now - and it's a pretty basic failure of access control. It's low hanging fruit for hackers.

Ok, I've cut it down to 730 after revision, plus some footnotes which were annoying to throw together in this template, but otherwise, I'm pretty happy with this document.

Anyway, I think the Ritalin is working, guys.
Lol, I just wrote 1370 words for no reason.

"You have to go into the office 3 days a week"

"Why?"

"The government said so"

"The PM wfh during the illegal invasion of Venezuela, and didn't say a damn thing about it. I think it's fine."

"But they said-"

"I don't have pay equity anymore, just give me remote work equity, ffs"

If the Palestine Action hunger strikers die - which they could do at any moment, as they are now very close to the end - it will be the government that killed them. Today’s column explains why. Please share, and write urgently to your MP.

The three remaining hunger strikers have been convicted of nothing. Yet with astonishing cruelty, ministers refuse to listen to their reasonable demands, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Did you see the post circulating on here about Uber Eats calculating a "desperation score" for drivers? A lot about it was all too plausible with the ways delivery and gig economy companies mistreat and cheat workers, but it turns out this post was fake

A very long and important THREAD -

The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974.

And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself.

Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." 1/

As angry as I am with MMH, I'm certainly more angry at these thieves. They criticise MMH for how little they seem to care, while being equally callous with our data.
About 10 minutes ago, "Kazu" posted the following statement regarding ManageMyHealth.

Their stated reason for lowering the deadline is frustration with ManageMyHealth's response to their messages. They also cite the relatively fast public acknowledgement of the breach as another reason.

Playing Spyro the Dragon again and omg it's such a vibe. I remember as a kid thinking that the worlds all felt so vast and endless. I love Sparks, the living health bar. I love that there's danger in the realms, not just in the portals. And the MUSIC

My guess is Peters spits the dummy every time Luxon makes statements on foreign affairs, and because he's so out of his depth on the international stage he's just willing to defer to everything the old fart says as long as he thinks he can get away with it.
Foreign Minister Winston Peters said NZ was "concerned", calling on "all parties to act in accordance with international law". Prime Minister Christopher Luxon's office declined to add more to Peters' statement when asked by RNZ 😳.
