Claims of 40 dead after an Israeli airstrike on a elementary girl’s school in Iran

We'll all have plenty to say today about Trump's unprovoked attack on #Iran. But let's remember the most important things:
♦️Many people will be killed. For nothing.
♦️That may include many US troops. For nothing.
♦️The regime may fall. Or not. And there's absolutely no plan for what comes next.

How US tech giants supplied Israel with AI models, raising questions about tech's role in warfare U.S. tech giants have quietly empowered Israel to track and kill many more alleged militants more quickly in Gaza and Lebanon through a sharp spike in artificial intelligence and computing services.

I would like to remind people that AI has already been used to kill people

OpenAI and Microsoft supplied Israel with AI models to track and kill people in Gaza which led to increased civilian deaths

BREAKING — 51 Iranian children are dead after a strike hits Minab girls elementary school in Iran.

Hegseth strikes deal with Scouts: Girls allowed for now, DEI is banned In announcing the Pentagon’s agreement with Scouting America, the defense secretary assailed the group for welcoming transgender children but stopped short of saying they would be denied entry.

At least we know in the hours before the attack Hegseth was laser focused on keeping Americans safe

Imagine a world where the terms of this agreement—between two of the world’s most powerful & dangerous organizations—were precisely specified & robustly debated through transparent, accessible, & accountable public processes.

But no.

We get swagger, threats, proprietary systems, & tweets.

My partner just asked why isn’t there capital punishment for being a billionaire. Once your net worth gets close to a billion, all new money should just get taken from you and it’s like yes babe, let’s fucking gooooooo.

Love it when our nation’s defense contractors all spend their Friday nights subtweeting each other about killing everyone in the world

Oh yeah I mean this took me like 3 tries to get through. Like started reading, had a break and wrote an email, started reading again and then had a snack and then finished reading

"I hope you die" is weak. "I hope that obscure Japanese-only game you wanna play gets a fan translation done entirely by ChatGPT" is way more hurtful. It's real. It could happen to anyone.

Ich thynke but litel of a Mondaye bleake
Tuesday grey and Wednesdaye eke
Thursdaye Ich care not for thee
Yet Fridaye Ich am yn love

[dreamye lute arpeggio]

Mondaye thou kanst fall awaye
Tuesdaye, Wednesdaye, myne herte slaye
No mirthe ys founde upon Thursdaye
Yet Fridaye Ich am yn love

They Thought It Was Burnout or Aging. It Was ADHD. A wave of midlife diagnoses in women is revealing the disorder’s hormonal link.

I utilized all of the tactics these women list for YEARS to manage my adhd. it was so refreshing when i saw a psychiatrist who looked at my extensive calendar + workflows to stay on track and said 'you have ADHD." and then prescribed me medication, which helps SO MUCH

huge thanks @gerwitz.com for tagging me & yes i totally agree re. more designers (and other non-code contributors) are needed in FOSS. I've been a core maintainer over at opensourcedesign.net/along with other lovely folks for 7+ years @jancborchardt.net @elio.bsky.social hachyderm.io/@simulo@hci....

We do a lot of pretty 'invisible' work to advocate for design and designers in FOSS as well as many of us doing active paid and unpaid work as designers in FOSS.

Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved.

DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.

completely chuffed at seeing 'potato internet' , a project by myself, trammell hudson and motang yang mentioned in @aixdesign.bsky.social slow ai report! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ www.figma.com/proto/j9isk2...

@aendra.com loved your talk at protocols for publishers!

Good luck with your talk as well! Our paper is coming out soon which might be even more helpful :)

OpenAI’s president is a Trump mega-donor Greg Brockman said he started ‘getting involved politically’ in 2025.

Open AI's Brockman & wife donated 25 million to Trump in September. Plus they gave 50 million to dark money super PAC with Andreessen H & Palantir's Lonsdale. These are not normal token sums compared to the other techies. They are some of the largest www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

At #fosdem? Come to the open source design dev room (I’m on the OSD steering committee and volunteering this year) AND come see a talk I’m giving this afternoon :)

Watching this Labour government try to kill UK universities is like watching an animal disembowel itself. You just sit there thinking ‘Why?? Why would you rip out something that has always kept you alive?’

Meet UpScrolled, the anti-censorship TikTok alternative The company's CEO says users are flooding the platform after the sale of TikTok in the U.S.

This reads like a bland puff piece @restofworld.org, you should know better. It only takes a quick search to find a myriad of evidence about UpScrolled's content governance problems. restofworld.org/2026/upscrol...

But what if I came to Berlin and we went to kino international together to laugh at Marty supreme?

It is :/ I’m like can I pls just submit an invoice 😭😭😭

Part of this is for payment for the talk and for them to issue and pay my invoice but this….software is so bad. So so so bad.

Note to self: if a talk requires you to sign up with a university's special software, say no.

Context: I have spent a full human hour wrangling w/ a very finicky system that is impossible to set up without having a national ID number in this university's country (I don't live in said country).

Hi there, if you're in law enforcement, a legal observer, a government worker, or a tech worker and you're in MN/or have any info about what's happening now with ICE and law enforcement operations, you can reach me at Vittoria89.82.

We can speak anonymously.

Hi hi!

TIME cover showing a bunch of billionaires imposed into the famous photo of engineers sitting on a steel bar as they're building a skyscraper.

Fucking incredible dystopian shit, comparing super rich people risking millions if not billions of lives just to make more money to people that risked their life actually building incredible things that would then make millions of dollars for super rich people.
