Apparently, it's bad luck to mention a "MacBook" in a software company. You have to call it "the Scottish laptop".

If David Lammy still denies Israel is committing genocide, he needs to answer this simple question:

What would you call it if someone was doing to Israel what Israel is doing to Gaza?

"I've tried everything permitted to you within the rulebook to resist our government's complicity in the genocide, without seeing any change in policy. And so, I think it is necessary to undertake peaceful direct action, and I'm very proud to be a part of that."

I got talking to Naoise Dolan about joining the #GlobalSumudFlotilla, what we want to achieve, and the Irish government's complicity.\

Despite last night’s attack on one of our boats, the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) remains resolute and undeterred. We are preparing to depart from Tunis. Our mission is clear: to expose Israel’s unfolding ethnic cleansing and stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

#Herzog arrives in Britan today

Whilst he is not in the same party as #Netanyahu and he is not wanted by the ICJ, he had said before now that:

"The entire Palestinian nation is responsible"

Whereby giving faux legitimacy to the #gazagenocide

Will you kindly sign and or share the petition asking for the meeting between him and #Starmer not to happen

I actually mostly like Xcode 16’s ML-driven “super autocomplete,” and have a vague fear the next major version of Xcode will try and replace it with Claude Code instead of adding LLMs as a separate option.

The tiny ghost town of Harvard, one of a series of often extravagantly named, largely abandoned communities near the Union Pacific Railroad and former Route 66 in the Mojave, was perhaps a victim of an Interstate highway system that passed it by.

I think the couch is still there, if you need one.

Report: UK police suppress Banksy's new mural about the suppression of free speech in the UK.

Banksy painted the mural on London's High Court days after nearly 900 people were detained in London for supporting Palestine Action.

The mural "portrays a judge beating a protester with a gavel." Police have covered it up.

Question for #GoToSocial folks: Is it possible to have different timeline layouts for different accounts on the same server?

I'm toying with the idea of having a predominantly text account on my GTS server with a text layout, and a second photos account with an image layout.

Is this possible?

Anthony Aguilar – ex #ghf – says the plans are to do as much #genocide as possible in the few weeks left before the world wakes up.
WAKE UP!

For anybody confused about how this happens, basically:

- For about the past 15 years every business has been developing apps by pulling in 178 interconnected libraries written by 24 people in a shed in Skegness

- For about the past 2 years orgs have been buying AI vibe coding tools, where some exec screams "make online shop" into a computer and 389 libraries are added and an app is farted out

The output = if you want to own the world's companies, just phish one guy in Skegness

My mother and I were preparing breakfast when a bombardment happened near us. We stopped for a while, looked at each other for a few seconds, and then continued what we were doing. This is what a year and more than a half of genocide does to you.

Thanks to every single person and to all the unsung heroes who were a part of providing food, medicine, and rent for my family. I am also extremely grateful for all the gifts that I have received in support of my writing and poetry journey. I am proud of you, and I am proud to have you as part of my campaign🌷

I still want you to remember that I am going through difficult #genocide & that I am trying to provide a decent life for my mom & siblings.💗

I used to ask for help every Tuesday to provide food for my family for a week. I haven’t been able to do that recently because I’ve been trying to raise funds to move. I would be incredibly grateful for any support now to help provide food for my family.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support!

So, is the UK's rail network now just a deposit scheme? Pay exorbitant ticket price, but reliably claim it back when train is inevitably very late or cancelled?
