Dear Bluesky
My housemate has left a packet of frozen chicken on the bench to defrost until he gets back at the end of the day.
Should I put it in the fridge?

I repeatedly asked the Federal Government if the UN torture inspectors’ visit was on track and if the they would gain full access to all prisons and watch houses. They said yes when the truth was no. The Commonwealth funds 80% of all NT government, including its brutal jails. Open them.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

The second series of Andor is a lot like Cruella in that it serves to provide an adult backstory to a much-loved children’s drama, but isn’t nearly as entertaining.

Not only WA- a depressing pattern for 'youth justice' across Australia:
1 Govts respond to Murdoch scare campaign by locking up more kids - mainly black.
2 Kids abused or killed in detention
3 Royal commission/coronial inquiry set up
4 Findings ignored
5 Repeat
Tragic, racist & counterproductive.

Muso mates and I just been testing out a 70 year old electric koto I found in a community opp shed on a small island in Japan's Seto Inland Sea.
It sounds even better than you think. A very remarkable and versatile instrument that can be played like a slide guitar, keyboard or even slap bass.

Love this: “the future of computing will be hyper-personalized. The question is whether that personalization will be in service of keeping us passively glued to screens—wading around in the shallows, stripped of agency—or whether it will enable us to direct more attention to what matters.”
Remember when the internet wasn't awful? We can go back to that.
Some friends and I have released the Resonant Computing Manifesto: a call to bring back such a time, to see if we can bring back a world where technology works for us, rather than against us.

You have a tank of signifiers which is full. To drain it you need to puncture it with a concrete example. Once it it empty, you can fill it and disrupt the sign representing the signified.
What's this obsession with finding racism *only* in the implicit signs and gestures and in hidden anecdotes? Like yeah sure how can we know this guy was racist without knowing his high school habits
