BOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

NICHE JOKE INCOMING the Allahakbarries walked so the Rock Bottom Remainders could run

Brilliant - everyone should watch this! vt.tiktok.com/ZSxLRuaRu/

Vindication This was one of the big reasons I didn’t buy a BYD. FYI, we bought a Skoda Enyaq. Awaiting handover. AMA www.bbc.com/news/article...

If you remember when this song was absolutely everywhere, time to get your shingles vaccine, player

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why I don't have a wood stove

Hey guys! One seat in a by election in *28 literal years* does not a panic attack make! Have you noticed how many *more* seats the Greens got in that time? Bloody loads! THEY ARE RADICALLY MORE POPULAR Anyhow, do your box breathing, calm down, we aren't the USA. (We might be the UK tho) (srsly)

Professor of religion here: can confirm.

BEHOLD A $1 box of chalk from the discount store and the legal graffiti wall + family bike ride = Mother’s Day success Hijinks are surprisingly inexpensive! As are low-to-medium jinks such as doing very legal things Not pictured, rightfully internet shy child but he is real I promise

Thanks I hate it

Excellent cultural commentary, A+. vt.tiktok.com/ZS9gfXvkR/

The Dawkins thing is giving strong Arthur Conan Doyle vibes.

Recession tornado siren.

Satire! Why is it ossified? Serious question, but specifically inspired by the TV show 'the Audacity', which is bad *but* is bad in such a specific way that it might point to a bigger economy-meets-culture moment than just sucking normally would. Thread...

Thank you, random album generator that I built in Claude not-code, for re-reminding me how much I god damn love Smokey Robinson. Have a treat, jump in, listen to a perfect three minutes. Go on. Enjoy yourself. music.youtube.com/watch?v=HnJN...

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

Literally the same people.

Weird that it took me this long to get into metal properly tbh (Fun fact: after my nth actual watching of Highlander I realised it was a metaphor for the AIDS crisis. It 100% is. Try listening to Freddy Mercury sing ‘Who wants to live forever’ from the soundtrack now without crying, you cannot)

Me with my funny joke that is also true by the way: (Guys do you guys know anything about the history of suffragette terrorism by the way) (apropos of everything)

A career advisor looked at my expected ATAR (the score out of 100 we get at the end of school) and said ‘you’ll do law’. I thought ‘no I won’t.’ Purely because she told me to and for no other reason. I did not do law THANK GOD (Married a bloody lawyer though)

Incorrect! This is the replacement of that tree! Also he killed most of the royal family before killing himself, full ‘red wedding’ situation, the catalyst was realising that the rebellion existed and would win on the same day. One daughter survived so the her arm chopped off!

I do not feed this magpie. This is a wild magpie. The magpie disagrees on both counts.

Have to hand it to the Australian government, the personal responsibility/nudge approach is the only one that is guaranteed to make social cohesion worse. Well done for literally telling people that turning on their neighbours is absolutely the way to go.

In my house we are cackling loudly, masterful work @soozuk.bsky.social

Work with me here: Product Hail Mary

The cultural distinction between ‘fairies’ and ‘faeries’ (inc. ‘the Fae’) is class gatekeeping You’re all horny for fairies, own it

The next tipping point in the energy transition is approaching. Overall, solar has already been cheaper than fossil power for a while, but upfront costs used to be higher. That's no longer the case. Solar is now competitive upfront AND has vastly lower operating costs (no fuel).

Well we got there in the end. Took too long, but, we got there.

Well we sure as shit prayed for trans day of visibility at my church on Easter Sunday Also gang it’s a bit iykyk but every young person currently choosing to go to church on purpose in Australia is queer, genderqueer, or trans Trans theology is very, very real, and it’s good theology too.

This is brilliant (research based) analysis everyone, do read it By @kossamaras.bsky.social

You are all ingrates this is a superb joke Exodus is the book of the Bible with the ten plagues of Egypt, including the locusts, the analogy is unimprovable Back me up @danilic.bsky.social my child is objectively hilarious

My 13yo, *who is an atheist*, described watching the little kids do their Easter egg hunt after the Easter service as 'like a scene out of Exodus'. That is a solid joke both structurally and theologically. I'm *very* proud.

WHAT NO

I will die laughing if Albanese announces petrol rationing immediately before the Easter long weekend, when literally everyone will be driving long distance

@danilic.bsky.social you want properly gutsy news satire? Please enjoy this work of beauty. No spoilers but this week’s mad idea is *chefs kiss*

Did we… Did we not already know this I genuinely thought we knew this

If you are not embedded in it it is hard to properly communicate the gulf of creative competence between independent audiodrama (superb, constant innovation, best new storytelling out there in any medium) and legacy media big budget audiodrama (pants)

@danilic.bsky.social yo Dan I was thinking about what you said the other day about Australia having no equivalent to the daily show/the weekly being weak (wouldn’t know I never bother with it, it looks weak) and I wonder a bit of the model is fit for purpose

Look guys I have to say, I don't think enough of you are looking at pictures of Bad Bunny and listening to Bad Bunny's music enough when you feel sad. Look up the man's biography, he is the best guy and so ethical, and he's also really nice to look at/listen to. Use this knowledge.

You know what’s a fun game? Social proof! Turns out seeing people do a thing is an amazing way to get other people to do the same thing! Get your shingles shot

Today is a good day to be extremely cool to your Iranian colleagues. Related, I have never regretted doing lifeline accidental counsellor training. Didn’t today that’s for damn sure.

Guess what I speak Spanish It says some scientists have worked out how to turn plastic waste into acetic acid (the vinegar bit of vinegar) Which is dope O sea, maravilloso!

*final scene of Fight Club gif*

Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture. Understood instantly what it meant.

Genuinely don’t understand why people are buying cars that have $$$$$$$ fuel when cars that have $ fuel are available Even if the ev doesn’t suit you perfectly they are *so cheap to run* it’s insane

Australia! It will cost you about $600 to get the shot as an adult. That’s for ‘shringix’, which is $$$ but will last you the rest of your life. As my pharmacist said when he handed me the powder, ‘are you brave of heart?’ Be brave of heart, get the shot!

Huh. This article was actually pretty well-researched (by me, it's me, I wrote it, I just forgot that I did a good job). Data centres! Did you know you don't have to hate them? It's true! www.themandarin.com.au/297302-could... Plot twist at end, let's fund unis properly cc @ketanjoshi.co

Hard agree *and* What if data centres in remediated mine areas? They're already environmentally derelict and have infrastructure in place, just saying

everyone loved the tech industry's free music and friendship machines of 20-30 years ago. it's unclear what could be causing people to feel the opposite about the industry's new racism and insanity machine
