Damn plantar fascitis flares again. Time wounds all heels.

Twin Peaks The Return viewing challenge: watch the entire series in random order. Don't check which episode you're on before it starts.

Can hear the fireworks from Darling Harbour, which is eerily apt right now. #Iran

Articles in The Cut always end suddenly and at times oddly. Like they left off publishing the last three paragraphs.

Everyone can relax about ICE now. Bono is on the case. www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

Shared with us from Sydney happening now. He had his hands up.

Apparently police have ordered everyone at Town Hall protesting Herzog's visit to Australia, to leave or face arrest. So we shall see.

Did the government's focus on the left as nexus of anti Semitisim mean that warnings about the Bondi shooters were missed??

@margaret.bsky.social really liked the book club about mutual aid, recommended it on my insta stories (though fiction is also good when a break from *waves hand* all that is needed)

If you're a drug dealing bad hombre, Trump wants you out of America. Unless he wants you in.

Don't overthink the Trump admin's reasoning here. They don't have a grand scheme. They are willing to upend the international order because they think everyone else will be too scared to fuck with them. And whatever terrorist attacks this inspires against us will just help them electorally.

SNAP and ACA benefits ending, 5th anniversary of January 6... Nothing like military strikes to distract the populace #wagthedog #caracas

The dispiriting realisation there's a spice girl on the telly makes me fear for what's ahead

Except for when creating and sustaining a tiny helpless human, this will be the first alcohol free NYE in 30 years. Sustaining a large helpless human required so much alcohol on the other hand I gave it up as a bad job.

1924-1965, during which time the US refused to admit Jewish refugees fleeing the Holocaust

It's the most woebegone night of the year. Wrapping presents. Baby Jebus come save me.

I wrote this the last time Pauline Hanson thought parading into the senate in a burqa made any point other than she's a clown (can you believe it's been 9 years?). I stand by it. www.sikamikanicoblogs.org/2016/09/why-...

Unthinkable dilemma of neo-Nazi's model wife as he's hauled into immigration detention, sez Daily Mail. I'd say she made her decision when she married a neo-Nazi.

Shops online and in that "real" world thing are full of women's jumpsuits. How many times I think I see a nice dress but no, it's a jumpsuit. Yet I have never, ever seen anyone wearing one. Who is buying these jumpsuits? Where do they go if no one's buying them?

I'm not worried about a maybe world war three as much as the actual thousands of civilians dying

Wikipedia is monitored every second by the world's most pedantic smart people, pouncing on edits not adhering to standard. Mistakes still get through en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...

"My intelligence community is wrong" the solipsism no longer surprises but is still pretty odious www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

Wilson: "hey he is a common man. Growing up, the cleaner only worked part time and he went to a systematic Catholic school. Systemic! Almost poors."

Calling bullshit. Tim Wilson (left) posing with the common man and (right) with his campaign manager (the same person). #auspol

Coming soon to Channel 9: Six Feet Underbelly.

People cast aspersions on Pete Hegseth's personal character, which is most unfair. He's not a person at all. He's a modern reboot of Max Headroom.

@edzitron.com late to the game, but love the quote "Optimism allows you to think exactly as hard as you'd like to." Ordinary smartish people have little faith other than AI will feed on itself till completely unusable (the Shitselfarity), wonder what is with the AI cheerleaders.

This is what happens when your Defense Secretary is a DUI hire.

Not content with mere fascism, Trump embraces Soviet totalitarianism in elminating "race" (except his) from America www.sikamikanicoblogs.org/2025/03/trum...

Removing pages honouring Black war heroes from DoD websites because of the DEI ban evokes Stalin banning publication of lists of Jewish Soviet War Heroes.

I don't know if I'll ever get back in the habit of posting my every clever thought and interesting links. I had 65000 posts on the bird thing. A few months off, and blip.

I wish there was a hell so these people would go there www.cnbc.com/2025/02/18/w...

There was once a serious suggestion to have the nuclear codes implanted somehow inside the chest of a presidential aide, forcing the American president to kill the aide with their bare hands to get the codes.

www.advocate.com/politics/mis... Reports on child sex trafficking referring to LGBTQ+ kids have been taken down, among other changes per Trump's demands

www.404media.co/you-cant-pos... You can't post your way out of fascism (yes I'm aware of the irony of posting this)

I can't and don't with tennis. Why do the players need silence? Gymnasts compete with roaring crowds and other gymnasts' music during their routines. Routines which change every year! Tennis players, same game since childhood and they can't play with noise? Pfft. Weak.

Taake was released from federal prison after Trump's pardon despite TX LE requesting they hold him on child solicitation charges. Now he's at large. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Look at this dipshit. Imagine a major publication vilifying public figures for celebrating Australia Day. www.skynews.com.au/insights-and... Alexander Voltz knows 3/5 of stuff all about history. Maybe he should research what happened during colonisation not the high minded rhetoric preceding it.

The problem with desert island discs is every castaway names what they consider to be important records. Coltrane and Ella Fitzgerald are great, but if you just have to get up and shake your funky stuff whenever someone plays Agadoo, live your truth.

Conservatives laughing at the idea of liberals deserting twitter like rats off a sinking ship. They seem to miss that it's about the sinking ship, not the rats.

This is the creepiest thing I've seen since lunch time.
