Utterly horrific, hellish scenes playing out tonight in #Rafah — burnt bodies too hot to touch & a young child decapitated by the explosion. The apparent strike came ~2hrs after a #Hamas rocket launch into #Israel & ~16hrs after its claim of capturing an IDF soldier.

“Consider giving the money back to Blackbird and other investors (I’m one) as this is looking like a joke.”

Blackbird going for the “not quite an apology” for a startup it has highlighted in investor briefings, Kiki. The company pivoted to run a “girl’s club” with an all-male founding team, baffling women in the industry. afr.com/technology/male-run-… @jessicasier

‘Are you serious?’ Male-run ‘girls’ club’ start-up cops flak

Scams falling through the regulatory cracks rnz.co.nz/programmes/the-det… was on today's episode of @TheDetailNZ with my colleague Maria Slade to talk about some of the work we have done on suspicious money making schemes in NZ.

Tried to go to work this morning on @AklTransport 🤣🤣🤣🤣After waiting for half an hour as packed bus after packed bus sailed past, I'm now WFH. Public transport in this city is a very unfunny joke.
