Epilogue: The fascists were driven out of Brighton, but were offered a significantly downgraded site on Hove seafront. By which time, the numbers had terminally diminished. A deeply sad and tatty sight. But at least they managed to give their wee speeches to the other two still there. #Brighton
That’s it. Cops dispersing. Fascists fucking off. We won. Brighton is anti-fascist
Right wing fascists (on the right) Left wing anti-fascists.. spot the difference!! #Brighton ❤️ #CarnivalAgainstFascism

Love how cloudflarestatus.com is already like "outage? what outage? nothing wrong with CloudFlare today!". Really glad I put a link to that in my email to customers today as part of the explanation of what happened earlier today. Thanks @cloudflare.social!

Went to contact Stripe support today and found there doesn't appear to be any way to do that. Just an LLM AI Assistant that can only tell you what's in the public documentation. As my (and many many other) businesses rely on Stripe that's pretty terrifying. Seems so short sighted. #stripe
How Grok turned into Hitler – a short explanation.
Ian Dunt@iandunt.bsky.social · last yr.Grok has been designed to replicate Musk's own online radicalisation process, step by terrible step. First, you treat all mainstream information as biased. Then you gorge yourself on know-nothing crap online. And then you realise you've become a Nazi inews.co.uk/opinion/elon...
Selected the wrong box on an #AWS S3 rule and it ended up costing $900+. Yikes!
So Grok has done a Tay except this time the owner is happy about it 😐
First try making my own dumplings (including the casings). Filled with pork, garlic and ginger. Fried to make the bottoms crispy then steamed the rest of the way. A bit lumpy and misshapen, but delcious! Ate with some steamed pak choi (not pictured) 😋 #cooking
Really enjoyed it but also... yeah good question
Thought Slime’s monster@slimemildred.bsky.social · last yr.So... is 28 Years Later a prank?
Have all the regular attendees of the Spectator Garden Party condemned their friend Rod Liddle, supporter of Golden Dawn, the Wehrmacht, sexually assaulting young girls, and now the mass murder of young people?
Andrew Harrison@nndroid.bsky.social · last yr.Bob Vylan update: apparently calling for the mass killing of young people is fine if it’s in the Spectator.

it’s absurd that NYT forced him to delete these skeets, which … convey the factual information that Zohran Mamdani is, in fact, a man of South Asian descent who was born and raised in Africa, and that the pseudonymous source of the hacked material is a white supremacist eugenicist.
jamelle@jamellebouie.net · last yr.I deleted several posts about a Times story because they violated Times social media standards.
First time making my own pasta. Don't have the equipment so just rolled out with a rolling pin. Made up a sauce as I went along with shallots, a white wine reduction, chick stock and lemon juice (not sure if sauce has a name, but is delicious). Pleased with it, good texture and very tasty 😋 #cooking
I just voted against proscribing Palestine Action, a civil disobedience group, as a terrorist organisation. But I'm furious that in doing so, the government forced me and others to vote against proscribing two other clearly terrorist groups. Cynical and dangerous from govt.
Every single picture of Peter Thiel makes him look like the guy in a zombie film who's hiding that he was bitten.
