Saw Dave Dobbyn play his anthem to immigration “Welcome Home” live last night. It’s about New Zealand, but pretty much applies to any place with anti-immigration sentiment.
Always makes me emotional, and to hear the whole town hall singing along was magical.

We've got access to webcams around the country that help us monitor the weather. And sometimes we get visitors! 🐦⬛
With one pic every four minutes, it's not easy to catch birds in flight, but we got a lucky shot today 📸

Man, how did I miss DishwHacker
@techconnectify.bsky.social The home automation community needs to get into dishwashers. Like a HackWasher project, where the control board is replaced by an Arduino, and then folks could write custom wash programs that actually take advantage of the sensors.

I was a little too young to see Back to the Future on the big screen in 1985. Great to finally see one of my favourite movies as it was meant to be seen. It’s *so good*!

I hate having to know what app to use to communicate with someone. Has anyone come up with a good solution to this?

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for parts of Northland and Auckland this afternoon and evening.
These storms can produce marble sized hail and flooding rainfall.

We talk about precise jury instructions and proof beyond a reasonable doubt, but the real practical function of juries in our system is as a final check on the most extreme "this is complete bullshit" prosecutions. And that they don't have to explain their reasoning is why that works.

Hands up if you ALWAYS drop stuff (food, ink, anything that leaves a mark, etc) on yourself and, yet, still buy clothes that will glaringly show this grubbiness
Both hands up if you then wear those clothes, after thinking "ugh, I'll probably get these grubby before I leave the house", and 🎯

Agent Lairmore is done with his testimony. Prosecution asked further about the condiments and he said there was mustard on his uniform and an onion hanging on his radio antenna. Don’t think defense was going for a pun when she called him a “seasoned officer,” but you never know…

This is powerful stuff: the reasoning behind Pillay’s commission finding that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza.

This is a great idea to contribute to Wikipedia for those of us who aren’t good with research.
You can photograph local politicians, landmarks (esp rural or non US), your professors etc. And yes celebs! Macaulay Culkin’s pic is from 2014 and he’s dressed as Snow White performing pizza-themed Velvet Underground covers in Iowa. Delightful, but maybe time to update so we actually see his face!

Cat went missing for the whole day. Waltzed in at 2am demanding to be fed, then went straight back outside.
Anyway, here’s the photo I was going to use for the missing poster.

This is a huge part of the media’s role in a democracy, not simply reporting the facts but collecting them into Major Political Issues to which the citizenry and politicians pay attention.
In 2021 when homicide rates spiked, for example, we got a wave of stories about causes, fixes, fallout, etc.

The AI industry is like those experimental fusion reactors that produce a fraction of the energy they take to run. But then deciding to roll those out to consumers.
Sure they’re taking a loss on each unit, but they’re going to make it up on volume.
