Friends, I'm also newly over on the blue butterfly platform, same username. Eventually I'll sunset this rotten platform's account.

Remember when they said Zelensky desecrated the sanctity of the White House by not wearing a suit

I get it's maybe not the highest-priority encoding in the queue, but could @BBCiPlayer get the @Cymru Women's qualifier up quicker than two hours (and counting) after it finishes?

@GovPressOffice Sounds like it was the judge bringing it up as an example of ridiculous things the administration believes it could do with no recourse.

JUDGE MILLETT: If the govt decides very quickly to bulldoze the Statue of Liberty, the people whose ancestors — that was the first thing they saw coming to this country, but the govt moved too fast — nothing can be done?

DOJ: I think that’s right, yes.

@kyledcheney This was exactly the administration's hope; to move so quickly that the legal process had no time to catch up. It's the MO of landowners building without planning permission world over in the hopes that it's easier to beg forgiveness.

Pulitzer-worthy stuff from the Post today

[Mobile Hacker @androidmalware2]

A $300 Creative speaker can be hacked over Bluetooth (no pairing) to install malicious firmware and silently turn into a BadUSB keyboard that can takes over USB connected PC

Creative don’t consider it a vulnerability - it is not patched!

@adamhlavac Analogous to when 4:3 TV shifted to 16:9 and everyone had bits of tape over their camera monitors to show the 4:3 frame sides.

@CastivaroShop These are much smaller (about the size of a large hand), the flame effect is alright but not as shown here, and are less than half the price on AliExpress.

DeepSeek V4 “improved” the code and said nothing happened in Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989

@erikkannike And one drone going on a sightseeing tour to Lithuania!

I change my assessment. She’s likely totaled.

It's very telling that I had to open the article to find out for certain whether this was a real quote or not.

A thousand Russians are being killed and injured every day in Ukraine, mostly by drone attacks. This is what it looks like on the ground, as seen by a Russian soldier who angrily denounces Putin while standing amongst the corpses of his unit, of which he is the last survivor.

Fair play to Koumas, he's been making a nuisance of himself for Ghana. Deserves that one.

FIFA block booked hotel rooms across the US to create artificial demand and drive up prices for football fans. They cancelled all the block bookings now.

That's insane.

Banning Hasan Piker has already generated so much more controversy than him speaking at that event ever would have and wins you precisely zero votes from a right that hates you anyway. Truly amazing how bad Starmer and the gang are at politics
