They removed CD/DVD drives from PCs. -Made physical media harder to buy and use. -Removed expandable storage from phones. -Pushed us into streaming subscriptions. -Made always-online normal. -Made unlimited internet necessary. -Slowly raised the price of everything. Ownership quietly became renting.

Dad to four, Grumpy to nine, constantly amazed at how my life has unfolded, uninterested in cruelty or bullies, prepared for an argument, accepts hugs if offered.
This is SOLID reporting from Emily and every working NZ journo who's regurgitated this government's propaganda about "low attendance" or "tackling truancy" or framed the issue as Tough-Talking David Seymour vs Lazy Teacher Unions should sit down and take some goddamn notes
I hate to use this word but this is a scoop: parents are being fined and chased by schools for having unwell, dying, and disabled children. Some have been fined of threatened for - among other things - keeping kids home when a parent has died. www.emilywrites.co.nz/parents-fine...
This is a brilliant idea to force corporations to either raise pay rates for their employees or lower their payouts to CEOs 💯💯💯🎯
Breaking 🚨 A new report on CBP & #ICELawlessness.. These agencies are packed with abusers & criminals. Don't turn away. Shine a light on this so everyone knows where their taxpayer dollars are going. These thugs aren't going after the worst of the worst. They are the worst of the worst.

The President of the United States is a criminal. He SHOULD have been convicted for the crimes he led on January 6th, 2021. He WAS convicted of 34 felonies for corruption and harassment. Yet somehow, instead of facing the consequences he deserves, he’s running the government like a mob operation.
Huh? Erode? ERODE? 🤯 Makes me wonder what kompromat Israel has on the NYT.
💯 "... a regime that kills its own people cannot control a bomb that can kill millions." We've been saying that for a while now. Glad you've finally agreed. Hand 'em over. Resign while you're at it. We'll all feel much safer.
Trump: A promise was made that the EU would deliver their side of the Deal and, as per Agreement, cut their Tariffs to ZERO! I agreed to give her until our Country's 250th Birthday or, unfortunately, their Tariffs would immediately jump to much higher levels.
The conversation has now gone global, via CNN. When speech is restricted, people find other ways to be heard. Free Palestine + free QLD from these fascistic laws. None of this is over yet. edition.cnn.com/2026/04/25/a...

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.
"it WILL be a catastrophic failure caused entirely by corruption." That goes for many western countries. The USA was always going to be a loser in this space, their pollies noses are firmly in the oil trough. But shame on the rest of us following their lead. I'm looking at you Australia.
Denmark ran their entire country on renewables for all of March, just Wind and Solar. If the UK can't manage full renewables by the end of this parliament, it will be a catastrophic failure caused entirely by corruption.
I'm saddened but unsurprised by the voices in support of Roberts-Smith. He committed a war crime. We have "war crimes" to keep a lid on the violence done in war, not to justify it, to protect OUR troops and civilians. Rinehart can go fuck herself, and maybe pay some tax while she's at it. #auspol

Well I don't know, but it would certainly be a good idea to stop assuming tech CEOs are tech geniuses. There's no reason why they should be, and they often make silly claims about the tech their companies are building. futurism.com/artificial-i...

Tech bros are poisoning the world's water supplies to run a product nobody wants.
It seems America has run on the honor system for 250 years. Then we ran out of honor. A madman is in charge and he’s surrounded by cowards. Now we find that impeachment is meaningless. The 25th amendment is meaningless. The Bill of Rights is meaningless. And the Constitution is meaningless.

Make Easter easier by uncrossing the t and dotting it instead.
the question I have is why can we build data centers faster than we can build solar and storage?
