It was no more an error than when Israel bombed all those hospitals in Gaza. It was very much deliberate. Hegseth should be fired, Trump should be removed from office, the military leaders should be stripped of their positions, and the whole lot of them should be prosecuted for war crimes.
If we're doing it right
as someone who monitors right wing media, its under discussed right now but i can tell you conservatives are absolutely terrified of the way talarico is using religious messaging against them
This interview with the great @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social was a "wow" moment for me. Thanks, New York Times and David Marchese.

I couldn't help noticing the question that seemed the most Times-like to me.
I cannot understand how this is ‘being mean’ to a podcastbro (also, my personal theory is that we should be ruder and meaner to podcastbros)
"Oh dear, you have to go out in the world and talk to people, like you're missing out on so much there"

Looking forward to the era of AI social science: the data is AI-generated, the paper is written by AI, the paper is reviewed by AI, and summarized for students and researchers by AI.

My child Ahmed is dying 💔, and my heart breaks as I watch him suffer 😢. His pain increases day by day due to the virus caused by rockets and chemicals 😭. We urgently need £250 to buy the medicine and supplies that could save his life 🙏. Please help before it’s too late 💔.

Trump and Netanyahu's illegal war on Iran has successfully buried media coverage of the Epstein Files.
Do not stop talking about this atrocity.
War crimes do not cover sex crimes.
Release the files, prosecute the abusers, sentence the guilty, protect the harmed.
Dear everyone,
As per the post from the Bodleian librarian below, AI bots and scrapers are putting just about every website under great pressure, British History Online included.
A lot of excellent tech staff are working hard to keep everything working, but outages and siruptions are inevitable.
US responsible for deadly missile strike on Iran school, preliminary inquiry says
The Burke and Hare pole and lap dancing club in Edinburgh Old Town is a bold branding choice.
When I give talks about the exploitation of GLAM by the AI industry I’m always asked “how can we defend ourselves from bots scraping our metadata?” I have no idea. That’s a question for an engineer. What I can and do say is that we shouldn’t be supporting this industry in the first place.
Connect the dots
Worth forever reiterating that most of the "long" novels of the 19th century were not received as long at the time, but generally as subdivided shorter works, sometimes something we would consider more like a comic book than a terrifying doorstop.
I too found the Zack Polanski hypnotherapist thing to be eyebrow raising when I first heard of it
but weighing it up on centrists' favourite "Lesser Of Two Evils" test, he didn't LARP as a human rights lawyer then go on to enable genocide and turn Labour into the Tory party
so I'll let this one go
Canavan just like the rest of the Coalition living in the past #auspol
Hey @support.bsky.team bsky.app @safety.bsky.app. If you want to keep creative, funny, smart people on your app you can't let other users rip them off, legally & morally.
The NACC's view here is even funnier when you consider it's about a bloke who secretly appointed himself to multiple roles and thought no-one would find out.
No surprise his opening gambit is great replacement theory (the same ideology that inspired the Christchurch shooter)
Yeah fam this is a universal western disease, not just an American thing. Aussies know that Byron Bay is full of hippies and anti-Vaxxers; so rife this one region brings down the national average. I feel like there’s a class element to this as well
I've said before I have a buddy who is in his early 80s and he grew up in rural Iowa and he said kids just disappearing from school because they had died was a normal occurrence for him.
From k-12 I knew OF (only one I knew directly) three kids who died total. Two by suicide, one from cancer.
Is Australia at war?! No! Our bombs and planes are being used in a war-adjacent manner | First Dog on the Moon
These are the images of the Gaza War Cemetery where 140 Australian war graves have been desecrated by the Israeli military including bulldozing graves. Very real concern that Australian soldiers remains have been bulldozed and disturbed.
"The ministry condemned the attack, noting the paramedics were travelling in clearly marked ambulances, and called for international intervention to stop the targeting of medical personnel in Lebanon."
Guessing Australia won't be stepping up to help prevent the targeting of medical personnel.
The Albanese Labor Government is supporting bombing a country, then preventing people fleeing that violence from seeking safety here.
It is wicked.
The govt is making a big deal about giving temporary humanitarian visas to a small number of female Iranian ⚽️ players.
At the same time, the XBENCH is trying to block the govt passing legislation to enable it to suspend the temporary visas to 🇦🇺 already held by 7000+ Iranians outside this country.
accuracy of advice provided to the Cabinet under their names. Those were and are requirements of the principle of Cabinet solidarity. But that does not mean that the presenting and portfolio ministers were (or presumably are) expected to examine or interrogate each proposal they brought to Cabinet with the time, skill and insight of the departmental experts whose role it was to ensure that the NPP complied in all respects with Cabinet requirements. If the department failed to ensure that an NPP was compliant, the presenting minister and to a greater or lesser extent the portfolio minister were ultimately responsible; but not necessarily, if at all, because of any personal failing on the part of those ministers to do what was to be expected of a competent minister in the presenting or portfolio minister’s position. Neither presenting ministers nor portfolio ministers had or presumably have the time, or in most cases ability, to reinterpret or re-examine matters covered in the checklist; especially the question of whether legislation is required. Ministers were, and presumably still are, expected to and did rely on the warranty of the secretaries of the departments who had signed off on their Cabinet submissions.
NACC lets Morrison off the hook, believing Ministers shouldn't be expected to "examine or interrogate" new proposals like Robodebt. They say Ministers also don't have the time or ability (??) to ensure programs are compliant with the law.
What...do they think we're paying these people to do?
Dubai was built with slave Labor and the blood of thousands of South Asians, Asians and Africans. They can’t escape. I’m sick of hearing about how fucking f “developed” it is. Skyscrapers and wealth are not markers of civilisation if they’re built on destitution and death
