Let me clear the air. I am sorry for DMing a stupid comment (which I thought would be funny) which fell flat. I support trans rights, and I will look over the messages and comments and consider my thoughts. I did not mean to misgender or degender anyone, but that would appear to be the outcome of the comments I said. Again, I am sorry. Transphobia, racism, and abusive language of any kind should not happen on Bluesky.

I've not seen one political commentator on TV or one podcaster mention this.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Keep this in mind as we start seeing more and more large scale outages from AWS, Cloudflare, Github, etc. These are the companies hoping to increasingly automate their systems with AI
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automation Paradox of automation edit The paradox of automation says that the more efficient the automated system, the more crucial the human contribution of the operators. Humans are less involved, but their involvement becomes more critical. Lisanne Bainbridge, a cognitive psychologist, identified these issues notably in her widely cited paper "Ironies of Automation."[49] If an automated system has an error, it will multiply that error until it is fixed or shut down. This is where human operators come in.[50] A fatal example of this was Air France Flight 447, where a failure of automation put the pilots into a manual situation they were not prepared for.[51]

The irony of Danny Kruger accusing the BBC of left-wing bias when Reform UK - with just 5 MPs - gets more airtime than the Liberal Democrats, who have 72 MPs.

The BBC doesn't have a left-wing bias.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Paragraph from a BBC article today...

Maybe they should have access to the NHS cos they are still actual real life human beings!!
FFS!!!
Asked why asylum seekers who had lost appeals still had access to the NHS, the minister said the government was tightening legislation "so that our immigration rules are no longer abused", because some people "cycle regularly" between multiple appeals.
