4/ I guess my point is, don't overthink this. Gestures of non-violent resistance work, whether grand or absurd, whether stuffed with symbolism or weirdly stochastic. The key is to display fearlessness in the face of threatened state violence, and to deny Trump the violence he so desperately craves.

Over 7000 Palestinian hostages will remain in Israeli prisons.

Andy Fleming @slackbastard.bsky.social · 15h

'There are more than 11,000 Palestinians in Israeli detention, according to data provided by the Israel Prison Service, 87 per cent of whom have never been charged or convicted.'

Sounds legit.

Of course, I’ll never be famous or male enough to be invited to the Saudi Arabia comedy festival. But I didn’t eat a single piece of South African fruit in the 80’s, so I feel confident I’d say no.

I still wouldn't vote Labor, fwiw, but that's how it is with their terrible position in fossil fuels.

Knew Cheyne Rich when he worked at the old Miscellaneous Workers' Union and always found him to be intelligent, likeable and not at all egotistical, so here's hoping he's still a good egg.

It’s Domestic Violence Awareness month.

As a survivor of DV, I never thought to call a hotline for help because of so many reasons. To this day, I wish that I had and maybe i would’ve been able to get out years sooner.

Don’t feel stupid if you fell for fake video. It can be really hard to tell these days. But we do have to try and be careful with what we share because there’s so much AI video out there.

It’s just the world we live in now.

Had to reboot into Windows to do a thing, and made a couple of Bluesky posts from there. Posts were getting zero interactions, I couldn't understand why. Turned out the system clock was wrong, and I was making posts into the past.

I like found footage horror movies, but I HATE it when they forget to have the camera in plausible positions. It's probably tempting to fall back into some cinematic language for effect, but it breaks it all for me every time.

I would like to see a Michael Lewis book on the impending AI market crash, and have this interview as the basis of a Steve Eisman cameo. There's a chance to go back to themes in his book on Silicon Valley, The New New Thing as well.
