"In China, driverless delivery vans have become a total meme, they plow through crumbling roads, fresh concrete, motorcycles, anything. Nothing stops them."

I went to a costume party dressed as a harp.

The host asked me, “What are you dressed as?”

I told him, “I’m a harp.”

He said, “But your costume is too small to be a harp.”

I was incredibly offended, and asked him,

Are you calling me a lyre?!”

I’ve been quiet this year because we’ve been in full research and writing mode.

Are other people experiencing a flood of #bots to their #Mastodon servers difficult to distinguish from genuine users?

It started about 3 weeks ago.

What I have observed: 1) coming from residential IP addresses, 2) performing a single request to some random asset, 3) user agent identifying as Chrome from a couple of years ago, never a very recent version, and 4) working in clusters of 4 to 10, usually all sharing the user agent id.

💔 Urgent appeal to compassionate hearts 💔
My husband is in critical condition… the infection has reached his bone, and the risk of amputation threatens him at any moment.
We urgently need to perform a culture test for the infection.
We need:
A wheelchair to help him move
Urgent medical tests
Antibiotics
Daily bandages and painkillers to relieve his pain
In Gaza, medicines and tests are extremely expensive.
We urgently need $500 to save him.
Please don’t leave him alone 💔🙏

Minnesota Republican drops out of governor's race, citing GOP's handling of immigration enforcement

Republican Chris Madel said in a video posted to X that he "cannot support the national Republicans' stated retribution on the citizens of our state."

He pointed to U.S. citizens carrying papers to prove their citizenship and Hispanic and Asian law enforcement officers who he says "have been pulled over by ICE on pretextual stops."

Minnesota Republican drops out of governor's race, citing GOP's handling of immigration enforcement

Republican Chris Madel announced Monday that he was ending his run for Minnesota governor, pointing to his party's handling of immigration enforcement in his state as his rationale."I cannot support the national Republicans' stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so," Madel said in a video posted to X.In the nearly 11-minute video, Madel emphasized that he supports Immigration and Customs Enforcement's "originally stated goals" in its Operation Metro Surge in his state.

I didn't think it was possible to have less regard than I do for Peters but this utterly contemptible from him. What an embarrassment. I do feel for MFAT officials having to defend this nonsense though. And, as always, and perhaps intended by Peters, Luxon's shoulder-shrugging inaction, makes him look as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike.
