Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

From the Nitpicker's Guide for Deep Space Nine Trekkers, published in 1996. The reviewer didn't think the state of the United States in 2024 as shown in the episode Past Tense, Part 1 was believable. Sounds like @roberthewittwolfe.bsky.social and Ira Steven Behr were pretty close....

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

Everytime I see bombastic it is misused. Do people not know it's a negative? Don't people really mean flamboyant?

I'm not usually one for showy patriotism but this is how a military force should be marching. One of the few things that make me proud to be British. #parade youtube.com/shorts/7QzB1...

@msnbc.com reporter at the 1:15 mark. “The chaos you’re seeing is not the result of peaceful protestors, it’s the result of actions of law enforcement, specifically the Los Angeles sheriff’s department.” #nokings

Turns out when you let your law enforcement wear masks and refuse to identify themselves, other people take advantage of that too. Jesus.

In phone app develoment we can't just stealth record our users. If you are being recorded it's likely because you gave permission and even if you did we wouldn't continuously record you. You already give out all info about you in more convenient formats. We don't need to record you 24/7.

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

Everyone should write to their MP saying: Israel’s attack on Iran is insane. It is also being used to distract from Gaza, where internet has been cut, and the West Bank, where settlements are aggressively expanding. The UK government MUST recognise the State of Palestine now. Does your MP agree?

To avoid reply guying I'll post here: Messaging in politics matters. MLK cared about messaging. I think one of the biggest downfalls of getting people onside for policy they support is a faction on the left who vocally gives middle fingers to everyone not them. 'Joe Public' doesn't like it.

Ukrainian Soldier: I was deployed in Kharkiv. I still think of the horrors of war. British soldier: I was deployed in Afghanistan. I tried to help the kids as much as I could. What about you? US soldier: Home Depot of 2025, we ran out of tear gas to use on grannies 😭 #politics #trump #california

Interesting article. Reform's far right candidates are flailing because they lack experience, have weak local policy and nobody wants to power share with bad guys, or in the tory case, rivals.

Sorely tempted to ask the Police request how much they spend on searching for children of colour in total vs the £13mill (and rising) cost of searching for Madeleine McCann. #news #unitedkingdom #mccann
