CIRCLE WITH A DOT

Well done to Kimi, on his first race win, and his first pole, but I am very happy to see Lewis on the podium. That will be a very emotional podium, I’m betting.

Maybemayday, if you haven’t come across this friendly little crew in this corner of the F1 fediverse, say hi to (in no particular order, and apologies to anyone I may accidentally omit here)

@davep (beware, Dad-joke alert! )

You are likely to see them crop up, but with the Shanghai GP not being in a good timezone for many, if you don’t see them today, you will as the season goes along, I am sure.
You can also follow (if you haven’t found them already) @fiadocsbot
Both Rob & Mookie have tipping/prediction leagues going.

@whatdidmarksay is also new to this, but from a newer fan perspective, hopefully

My outrage at reading this story just cannot be put in words 🤯🤬

Just… don’t! Ok? Nobody should be selling this, no-one should be buying this, no-one should be giving it to a child; no parent should be, and if any well meaning but uninformed person tries to give their child one, politely refuse it. Please

It was bad enough when they had those toys that were recording children, breaching all sorts of privacy standards. But this has the potential to create real, long-term harms.

This headline should be waking more people up! Why are we allowing this?

The factory would include the construction of a 78,000sq m AI factory in Makarewa, just north of Invercargill, equipped with a grid exit point electricity substation.
… Once operational, it would consume 280MW of power, making it New Zealand’s second-largest electricity user after the Tiwai Point aluminium smelter.

Just spotted, and reported/blocked, another of these, with the oddity that this account is over 3 years old, but has been pumping out this same content engagement spam in the last 24 hours.
jvroj[@]mastodon.social another of these “ro-bot helper” account names.

Not that often you spot a dormant spam account, like this, in comparison to the very fresh, brand new accounts.

Infectious beat on this track, just what I needed this weekend
