It's a tough call, but I think my personal favourite is Nova Peris, 'elected as a director of Hockey Australia just weeks after sharing a comment on social media from an anonymous account that called Muslims “Satan worshipping cockroaches that need to be eradicated”.'

Ha! The “sports stars” petition for an Antisemitism Royal Commission was signed by Sam Newman.

Yes, this guy, who platformed Nazis.

I wrote a follow-up to my essay on the Bondi shooting. sakr.substack.com/p/arming-the...
In my original piece, Globalise the Intifada, I wrote a little about Albanese's response to the terrorist shooting, and the media's unprecedented move - in concert with the Liberal Party - to pin him with the blame for it, echoing Netanyahu quite literally. The unanimous and unfounded claim was that he had not done enough to stop the manifestation of antisemitism anywhere. This is an absurd position, but conservatives absolutely love to create a war on sentiment, on feeling itself - from the war on terror, to now the war on antisemitism, and coincidentally, I'm sure, both require the mass murder and ethnic cleansing of millions of brown and black Muslims, both require the theft of land and territory on a massive scale, both require the rapacious extraction of resources, both require an ever-tightening set of controls and surveillance of domestic and non-domestic populations, both require the mass media to resolutely pump out an astonishing amount of hysterical propaganda, both are wars on concepts and feelings therefore they have no definitive end, though while abstract, they are tied negatively and concretely to the figure of the Arab and the figure of the Muslim. In short, the message to Albanese is: you are not showing us a sufficient level of obedience, or control of the unruly masses. Remember, the focus in the aftermath of the attack was not terrorism or the prevention thereof so much as it was the totally unrelated yet historically popular protests which Zionists insist must be forcefully ended.

This one is resonating today. #Andor
Screen shot from the show Andor. Someone says to Mon Mothma “They [meaning the Empire] don’t even bother to lie badly anymore.” Mon replies “I suppose that’s the final humiliation.”

The Dickin Medal is the highest award that can be issued to animals in British military service. Bearing the words "We Also Serve" it has been awarded 75 times since its creation in 1943.

Only one cat has ever received the award.

This is the story of Able Seacat Simon, of HMS Amethyst. 🧵 1/25

Seventy years ago, Jonas Salk and his team worked in a lab between a morgue and a darkroom to develop the world’s first successful polio vaccine.

A filmmaker who made a documentary on Salk’s work explains why forgetting life before vaccines has real consequences: buff.ly/VYpqOy4
#vaccineswork
The world risks forgetting one of humanity’s greatest triumphs as polio nears global eradication − 70 years after Jonas Salk developed the vaccine in a Pittsburgh lab
Polio may finally be defeated in the next 5 years. Will the world recognize what an extraordinary achievement that is?

“It will be hard to kill the congestion fee now because it’s been a striking success. Traffic speeds are up. Pollution is down. The fee is generating high revenue for the city’s transit system. And predictions that it would be bad for business have proved completely wrong.” Via @pkrugman.bsky.social

I really don't understand how Stan seems to have such revulsion for picture-in-picture.

why is the only way we see how close out or in call either a full screen replay or the screen behind the players on court? completely unused tech in rugby too

No, Grok can’t really “apologize” for posting non-consensual sexual images
Letting the unreliable Grok be its own "spokesperson" lets xAI off the hook.

A real news outlet publishing the phrase "Grok apologized" should result in like a week-long timeout. Think about what you've done.

always knew the burrito taxi industry was scummy but this is the most unfathomably evil, cartoon villain shit I’ve read in a while. jfc
From the thread: “But the thing that actually makes me sick—and the main reason I’m quitting—is the "Desperation Score." We have a hidden metric for drivers that tracks how desperate they are for cash based on their acceptance behavior. If a driver usually logs on at 10 PM and accepts every garbage $3 order instantly without hesitation, the algo tags them as "High Desperation." Once they are tagged, the system then deliberately stops showing them high-paying orders. The logic is: "Why pay this guy $15 for a run when we know he’s desperate enough to do it for $6?" We save the good tips for the "casual" drivers to hook them in and gamify their experience, while the full-timers get grinded into dust.”

Incredible example of journalism malpractice here.

Quoting an AI instead of the people responsible for it is a failure, like quoting your imaginary friend, or picking random words in a dictionnary and call it journalism.

A Japanese artist made the print DHS lifted to spread anti-immigrant hate. Can't make this up.
Screenshot of a post by Alex Luck criticizing others while showing an auction listing for a painting. The image displays a beach scene artwork featuring palm trees, a pinkish car, ocean waves, and a bright blue sky. Below the artwork is text identifying the artist as Hiroshi Nagai and describing the piece. Beneath that, a quoted post from the Department of Homeland Security repeats the phrase, “The peace of a nation no longer besieged by the third world.”
