I feel like maybe Meta has jumped the shark. Actual screenshot from a Threads post pushed into Instagram.

Major design language changes are always jarring, but upgrading my iPhone to liquid glass completely removed my wallpaper and replaced it with a plain black background. Lovely. 🙄

The dogs making it much too difficult to move on from coffee time this morning…
I’m sitting on the sofa with two dogs squished in as closely as they can manage. One is inside the crook of my knees, and the other is wrapped around the front of my legs with her head on my knee.

This is how fascism starts to actively exclude the public voice. Of course 92% of the public being against him must be bots, because his opinions are the only ones that count. 🙃

ACT leader David Seymour suggested 'bots' drove 'fake submissions' against his Regulatory Standards Bill
The deputy prime minister now says he was talking about "online campaigns" that create "non-representative samples".

@thespinoff.bsky.social how do I turn off infinite scrolling on your website? Ironically, you have called this bad behaviour out yourself in the not so distant past…

Hang on, don’t most insurers have clauses that say they won’t pay out for damage done by terrorism? By labelling anti-Tesla protests as terrorist activity, is he accidentally doing some good? 🤔 🤣

I wonder if anyone is specifically tracking how Teslas record video from their surround cameras 24/7 and upload them “for security,” and how easy it would be for the muskrat to use that to track people with image recognition.

A distant view of Wellington city as seen through a saddle in the western hills along the Skyline track. In the far distance lies Te Whanganui-a-Tara and the Cook Strait.

Looking down at Harris Saddle in Fiordlands National Park, along the Routeburn walk in Tāhuna Queenstown, on Te Wai Pounamu South Island of Aotearoa New Zealand.
Wide-angle photograph of a high elevation conservation hut nestled in a saddle near the top of snow-capped mountains. The ground cover is high altitude scrub, and a track disappears into the distance with a few other walkers along it.
