We actually don’t have to respect anything to do with this grotesque war criminal or the rogue foreign state he represents.

I guess a sugar scrub is out of the question. Because of the whole 'soluble in water' thing. And there would be no "Honey, come and feel my legs!"

Apparently a cast member from Home Alone 2 has died. Sadly not that one.

Man this is a very fine ad ( @zerogeewhiz.bsky.social @kels316.bsky.social but most people)

#wtf this idea should get in the bin (a cookbook with QRcodes that link to youtube, instead of being a book with proper recipes and glorious photographs)

Okay. Hastie has JUST made it clear that he WAS seeking to overturn Ley's leadership. Under the westminister rules that the Coalition love to wave as some form of western civilisation, he should have resigned his front bench seat before even looking. So yeah. Fuck western civilisation then. #auspol

I can just imagine him, trailed by Secret Service goons, trying to sneak around the White House at night in his socks and jocks, carrying a 5 lb hammer and 4" nails, 'surrepticiously' hanging up photos of him with enemies of the state. Not a pretty thought in many ways.

I just made a coffee, a flat white. Something I do at least once a day and pretty much operate on muscle memory and autopilot. This time, though, I wanted to slow down and take photos so I can work up a quick tutorial to help a dear friend use her own machine. What an utter balls-up I made of it!

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

Ok, take a little moment and clear a space on the front edge of your desk. Have some stomping room around your feet. Warn off the cats. Ready? 5, 6, 7, 8…

You cannot buy the revolution. You cannot make the revolution. You can only be the revolution. It is in your spirit, or it is nowhere.

Also no, thank you.

After a recent post I just had to cue up The Cranberries classic Zombie. Again. What a voice Dolores O'Riordan had! Such strength and power and control, and that little flick, that semi-yodel? That was pure beauty. Here, don't take my word for it…

This man is, I'm sure he won't mind me saying, certifiable. And an Honest to Gawd genius. And he's making more sense than the richest person on the planet.

Happy 🇬🇧 UK pub day to THE CROWN’S SILENCE—a deeply researched narrative history of the monarchy’s centuries-long entanglement with slavery. This is the new history book the far right loathes. Please buy it b/c it’s important history but—also—it will really piss them off if it does well in the UK!!😉😘

They took away his blue bunny hat with the white ears and his Spider-man backpack and I am in absolute bits about that. I think I would pick up my 5yo kid and hold him and never put him back down until he was 30! Either that or go complete and utter Rambo on their arses.

Five jobs I've had: Intelligence analyst and reporter Comsec team leader Engineering student* Language student* Cash Converters manager (just fukken kill me) * Yes, I did get paid, and quite well for the time, to be a student.

Pretty sad that the entire UK Government has been hoodwinked into an e-learning scam. Like, you can see how 13 year old boys get tricked into signing up for manosphere courses on their parent’s credit card, but for the entire UK Government to get tricked by Accenture and OpenAI 😬

Wait what? Why does Sophie Molineux leapfrog long time Vice Captain Tahlia McGrath on the retirement of Alyssa Healy? Not only doe McGrath not get 'promoted' but she is effectively being 'demoted' from Vice Captain to Joint Vice Captain.

Burn!

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

I wrote this yesterday about the hero city of Minneapolis www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKOW...

I think I might take one of these "under 20 minutes" AI skills courses the UK Govt. seems very keen on everyone doing and live-post it here... Maybe we can all learn something together! The press release sends me to aiskillshub.org.uk/aiskillsboost/ - let's go and see!

I wish Mr Blain all the best, and, in the Texas I knew and lived in, in the mid to late 90s (when the Cowboys were winning!), I feel he could have done well. Today however, fuck. I don't know because I'm not there, but from what I hear, I'd say get the fuck out of there. Maybe especially Waco.

Absolutely, it always about him

Share a bird pic you took. Lost On a painted sky Where clouds are hung For the poet's eye You may find him If you may find him..

Oh my. I don't know exactly when it happened, but I am informed by Mathaversaries that at sometime today, I turned 35 million minutes old!

Yes it could be argued that keeping up with world events is important but alternatively can I interest you in hugging an ancient mossy boulder that looks like a face and quietly listening while it tells you stories from centuries cloaked in mist.

Pretty sure he’s trying to hide the scar he got trying to steal a medallion off a woman in a bar fire in Nepal in the 1930s.

Forty years after the Challenger disaster, engineers who fought to stop the launch still grapple with the guilt of "what if." The tragedy remains a definitive lesson in the danger of prioritizing management goals over engineering truths and the fatal cost of silencing dissenting voices.

Pens down, Year 9. Pay attention. Let's gather around and watch literally nothing happen nor anyone be prosecuted for this deliberate and egregious activity. 🙄 😞

This is how it should be.

Wow. The front page of tomorrow’s Charlie Hebdo magazine in France.

The trouble with sleeping with the windows open during a heatwave is that the bloody Magpies wake you at dawn. Which is apparently now — 5:30 am. There shouldn't be another 5:30. That seems excessive.

How good is this? #DoctorWho

Well this didn't start well, or even go anywhere. It also didn't indicate that it was going to discuss the absolute horror of invasive species dumping all around the world.

That's a wonderful description but you have to remember that Ferrari have, for years, made Ferraris for people who have no idea how to drive. Especially people who have no idea how to drive Ferraris.

"Spooked?" Fucking "Spooked?" Look, I know they got about 47 hours of training or whatever it was. Days, perhaps? Absolutely not enough in any case. There will simply not be enough firearms training in that time for them to be let loose on the public with firearms, especially handguns.

File this under 'N' for 'No shit, Sherlock?'

Note to non-Aussies, or even OZ city folk (who will deny it), you need at least a couple of loaves of bread for emu on toast. The easiest way is to make a @murrigellas.bsky.social emu omelette.

I mean, he has to empathize - one minute you're ordering customs and border patrol around in new ways, even getting to design your own uniform, and next minute, it's all taken away.

Great opportunity for The Australian to add some local colour. They get Mike Pezzullo to write about how bitterly disappointed Greg Bovino must feel right now.

Look, it takes more column inches and uses more characters, but you get 300 characters per post and a smart copypasta takes little time. Do it. Fuck those rascist, fascist, feeble minded, bootlicking fucks who keep killing people and disappearing children.

Harsh but fair from the Gurus. It's a decision they've made. I, personally, would piss on any or all members of PHONy, although I would like to have declarations that they're not into it.
