I wrote a thing for Herald! The main point is that, between the injunction and statements by the company itself, we have a pretty good idea what happened now - and it's a pretty basic failure of access control. It's low hanging fruit for hackers.

Sitting here with friends, scheming to bring more beautiful things into the world.
I open bluesky, am met with more horror. Every day more horror.
On Sunday, I gave a talk to the scientists where I implored everyone to do *anything*.
It's easier to break than make things. Please make something.

This is how enjambment can work in a poem. Bridge 77 on the Macclesfield Canal allows a horse to cross the canal without having to untie it from the canal boat.

Kettle (for making tea), microwave (for reheating the tea I forgot I made)
Everybody has two kitchen appliances that will change their life. The problem is, they're different for everybody.
This place needs some Innocuous Discourse pronto. Quote this with a take that’s not political or aggressive

Oh my God YES.
Here's my advice to any Democrat who wants to follow in Zohran's footsteps:
GOVERN. Oh my God, just do good things within your power.
Bad faith morons (NIMBYs) are going to complain? They were going to do that anyway if you simply talked about doing something.
Let them complain.

Global oil emissions are 1.5 tonnes CO2 per person. New Zealand is 3.6 tonnes domestic, 1.3 tonnes international aviation and shipping, total 4.9 tonnes – three times the world average.
The past two years numerous Government decisions have acted to increase oil consumption.
Reverse them all.
