Today, mothers and fathers in Gaza are mourning their children because governments across the world did not deem their lives worthy of protection.

This is a seminal moment: a Labour government cutting disability benefits. Not just continuing Tory levels. Cutting.

This comes after a week of speculation, itself an act of cruelty by a government toying with people’s dignity.

These cuts are disgraceful - and they will cost lives.

I was talking with someone a couple days ago about how the Popular With Friends feed had gotten stale lately. I found a few issues with it, fixed them, and have that running now. Please give it another try and let me know how it is!

The ICC’s arrest warrants are long overdue.

The Prime Minister & Foreign Secretary must immediately endorse this decision. That is the bare minimum.

Will the UK government now, finally, honour its international obligations to prevent genocide and end all arms sales to Israel?

This chart is pretty insane. More of an overnight social/political-type shift than typical tech adoption imo: techcrunch.com/2024/11/19/b...

There is a very simple reason why the UK government refuses to acknowledge the genocide in Gaza.

If they did, they would be admitting their own complicity in one of the greatest crimes of our time.

End all arms sales to Israel, now.

This is really huge. For my friends in tech, Oauth is a way of giving third party apps/services access to your Bluesky account securely, without them having access to your password. It will make it easier for people to make tools that build on the functionality here. 1/
We got a blog post out summarizing our launch of OAuth for AT Protocol, and what work remains. This has been a huge project led by @matthieu.bsky.team with input from a bunch of standards folks and devs.

Big milestone for building all sorts of clients, apps, and integrations on atproto.

Looking for places to try in Abu Dhabi. Forget “hidden gem” etc. let’s talk about quality food, value of money and great coffee. I think most cafes are using average beans for milk coffee’s looking for something places that make tasty flat white coffee.

The Israeli government has cut off food, water, and fuel to 2 million people inside Gaza as part of its campaign to stamp out Hamas terrorism. Collective punishment is not only contrary to international law, it is inhumane and illogical. /1

The UK government’s decision to approve Rosebank displays shameful disregard for future generations.

Some want to “give investors certainty”, but how much certainty will investors have on a burning planet?

Stop Rosebank and invest in renewables instead!

For a major organisation like the ABC to a) cite the toxic atmosphere as reason to abandon *huge* accounts, and b) to cite rising API costs as a reason to abandon emergency alert services, should be a major signal that if you don't have plans to abandon ship: make some immediately.
