Indonesia to Ban YouTube, TikTok, Other Social Media Apps for Children Under 16 Indonesia is the latest country to block social media, saying the apps pose "increasingly real threats" to young people.

EFF is appalled by how quickly and uncritically internet restrictions are being adopted around the world, David Greene told CNET. "Even if they are under 18, or under 16, children have the right to access information, to speak and to associate.” www.cnet.com/tech/servic...

I'm kidding. The whole process was easy as, and hopefully the stuff that did get accepted means someone else gets to love it now

OMG if you are wanting to get rid of nice clothes and make a few bucks, but your self esteem is not up to scratch, don't go to recycle boutique. The GORGEOUS (probably not straight, but what do I know) person judges your stuff, right in front of you and is like, no, this stuff, just no.

Omg fuck off. We literally sell our superior dairy to the world, and now we're importing the crap? Whhhhhy?

a woman in a pink dress is holding a wand and the words woo-hoo are on the bottom Alt: Glinda the good witch as played by Ariana Grande in the movie Wicked. She is wearing a pink sparkly dress with a sparkly crown holding a large pink and sparkly wand. The caption says WOO HOO and she is waving her arms ecstatically

today's addition... a bit of a #wickedMovie theme - Kia Ora = Gilda???!! (yes I know it's Glinda, it just reminded me of that)

screenshot from Ali Express of what looks like a case of Corona, but the description says its for a dollhouse and is 1:12 size (and obviously not real beer)

You know what's missing at my Barbie dreamhouse? yea, some beersies... oh wait, this is for when Ken takes it over right?

Oh yea, I've downloaded piki but haven't had a chance to use it yet for hui. I haven't seen kaituhi. Will have to look it up!

Hmm I'll keep that in mind for the longer videos, but for thia project, given that I wrote this very short (less than a minute) script and know the exact words, all I need is the SRT file in the right format. I can correct words easily

the other one is taiohi - mostly it thinks it is "tile he" - which I guess is pretty close???

so far the best one has been "yoda" - hmmm do I sound like I'm saying yoda? SIGH

Making a few vids where I talk to camera, mixing in te reo Māori and english. I am using Microsoft ClipChamp to take 1st pass at transcription for closed captions (YES I am correcting it before uploading) I should have hilariously taken note of all the ways it has deciphered "kia ora" (cont'd)

Yes it felt so satisfying. Then I had to go get window cleaner to clean where I had sprayed on the window. Sigh

Right? I'm like "haha diiiiieeeee fly" and then was like, oh yea, I also breathe oxygen

Just killed one annoying fly by spraying it directly with a BUTTLOAD of fly spray, it occurs to me that I basically drowned it and have gassed myself for no reason at all

And i now agree, having scrolled back to several of your media files and checked personally. Bravo good sir, bravo

#notAllNeanderthals

an older man in a suit and white shirt says what a gross injustice Alt: David Attenborough in a blue suit saying "What a gross injustice", with the same words superimposed in all caps across the screen

WHAT WOULD ATTENBOROUGH SAY?!

also, because most of you won't bother clicking through, and I think the alt text I wrote for that gif is a textual masterpiece... "Gif of Pedro Pascal wearing slutty little glasses and a suit. He points to his eyes and then knowingly points to you, directly down the barrel of the camera"

a man wearing glasses and a tuxedo is sitting in a crowd Alt: Gif of Pedro Pascal wearing slutty little glasses and a suit. He points to his eyes and then knowingly points to you, directly down the barrel of the camera

oooh I see what you did there

LOL what? that is so sad and also unexpected in this world of media being bought over by all kinds of shady peeps

Were Neanderthal men the Romeos of the prehistoric world? When ancient humans interbred, new research shows that the pairings were predominantly male Neanderthals and female Homo sapiens.

nooooo ancient human women, whhhhhyyyy www.nationalgeographic.com/history/arti...

this might be the key to why we ended up with *gestures to all of this* today

Is it to be accessible to wheelchair users?

Its literally worse than anything faked. Its a state of emergency everywhere, but this is a fucking announcement about sports. He is talking about sports ball instead of doing what he is paid to do...

They should get Benedict Cumberbatch to do the opening because he can't pronounce penguin and it'd be hilarious

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

How do we make sure everyone that is affected by this, votes?

We see the same posts, like these, every election year. Yet, every time, the rich boomers who are better off under National turn out in droves, and its crickets from the demographics that matter.

It was almost (almost) worse when the McSkimming stuff came out, because that is so close to home

I am in the middle of writing e-learning content about s🥚 exploitation. And I feel like there is almost no point. Why should I talk to front line workers on how to protect young people, when actual evidence, printed in black and white gets ignored. Globally
