Nick was a wonderful guy to work with. Thoughts are with his family at this time.

My heart is breaking -- Nick (@nickpopemod) passed away this afternoon at our home. The last few weeks of his life, even as he suffered, he managed to do a few interviews from home. I was so lucky to have met and to have married Nick. He was a wonderful husband. I loved him dearly.

Distrokid wants you to pay $99 a year to upload videos, but their FAQ seems pretty incomplete =P

Mailchimp integration with X will be removed at the end of the month.

A siren will sound on every mobile phone within mobile range around the country, when a test alert is sent by the AusAlert emergency warning system on Monday, July 27 at 2pm AEST.

Wonder how many people will still demand an apology when it happens, after countless reminders.

@nickpopemod Thank you for providing the forward to Karla Turner's reissued works and keeping the research alive. Wishing you all the very best for what remains of your life. :(

Yeah, maybe read a certain George Orwell book?

When loneliness starts whispering, resist the urge to reach for people who’ve already shown they can wound you. There’s no sense in drinking poison just because you’re parched. Loneliness passes - the damage from toxic company lingers.

You can almost guarantee this is going to be an absolute mess that results in AI-powered tech accidentally banning people. #auspol #socialmediaban

Australia's latest push to 'protect the children' appears to be broadening into online platforms - and by that logic, GitHub is being treated like social media. If authorities start restricting access to open-source projects, they could limit tools people rely on for privacy and secure communication. Can't have kids accessing software that can alter webcam identifiers in system settings to evade biometric age verification tools, can we?

[Dylan Lindgren @dylanlindgren]

Complete lunacy happening in Australia where the eSafety Commissioner @tweetinjules is investigating whether GitHub might qualify as a banned social media platform for children under 16!

I guess kids wanting to “learn to code” will have to do so from outside Australia.

Birth causes autism.

Having genuine rock on the #VMA stage is a breath of fresh air. Yungblud’s rendition of Crazy Train didn’t exactly blow me away, but he absolutely crushed it during Mama. Steven Tyler delivered exactly what you’d expect from him these days (which is hardly a criticism - he did have a vocal injury fairly recently), and the standout performances from legendary musicians like Nuno Bettencourt and Joe Perry were impossible to ignore.

[Cask J. Thomson @CASKJT]

Should we be surprised that the social media ban will be expanded to more websites in the name of "protecting the children"? #auspol #socialmediaban #ageassurance

As far as terrible names for rebrands goes, CD Keys modernising themselves as "Loaded" is certainly up there. Sounds more like a magazine aimed at men.

Can we just meet in the middle and rename the Gulf of Mexico (or Gulf of America if that's your thing) to the Gulf of Ozzy?

Some decent airspace avoidance going on. #IranIsraelConflict

(2/2) Captain Sumeet Sabharwal, aged 55, had logged over 8,000 flight hours, while First Officer Clive Kunder, 32, had around 1,100 hours. The crash occurred amid an extreme heatwave, which may have exacerbated any existing stress or cockpit dynamics.

[Cask J. Thomson @CASKJT]

(1/2) While this is entirely speculative, if the Air India crash was ultimately caused by pilot error, it would be worth examining to what extent Nathan Fielder’s experiments and research into human behaviour under pressure might be relevant.

[Cask J. Thomson @CASKJT]

I wonder what the reaction would be if the roles were reversed? #Macron
