No thanks to Barnaby Joyce

Sure, England were humiliated by the First Test loss...but that's not enough is it? We want them to suffer, as well. 😄 #Ashes #Cricket

Trust England to let a wobbly aussie team get the job done. Seriously Australia needs to be bringing through the next generation because Khawaja is surely out with his back for Brisbane. Let me not downplay the excellence of Starc, but we can't expect that every time #Ashes

I am still baffled as to why they made the debutant face the opening strike in the first innings. No matter how much the Khawaja stuff put them on the spot that was not a smart move. #Ashes

Georgia gubernatorial primaries are in May next year. My prediction is that Marjorie Taylor Greene will be running as a Republican candidate for governor on that day

Yeah that's going straight into the vocab

Children aren't rich, their parents are and the distinction is why as many programs for children should be universal and mandatory

A good need to know for all writers. nofilmschool.com/difference-b...

Considering that the Bond movies are actually pretty clear that he's the same guy it's annoying how much people think the only flaw with the Bond as code name theory is that it's never been confirmed. Roger Moore visited Lazenby Bond's wife's grave! They're all the same guy.

The best part is Musk wishes he was 1/10th the poster JCO is

Free her! Sure she did it, but it's funny as hell www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

People love bipartisanship. But mostly when it means the other party comes crawling to do what they want

One of the best things about being a grown up is getting to buy a db shirt (and donate for the children)

Oh, you like baseball huh? Well, we’re going to sit here while you smoke this whole pack of baseball and THEN we’ll see how you feel.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness) As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

In case anyone is less brain poisoned than me; read this ridiculous hypothetical

Old timey people against gambling drinking and whoring were right about gambling

I have a lukewarm take that everyone ignored the third candidate running for Maine, who wants to reform the Supreme Court and abolish the filibuster, because he’s a homosexual

Lot of people are going to take Ls on Platner because admitting not just that they were wrong about a guy they didn't know is hard, but acknowledging the party was right not to back him even if you don't like who they did back will be impossible.

You know, there are tattoo artists who specialize in cover-ups. There’s even artists who do it pro bono for gang tattoos That he didn’t says so much

And this is in a world where the true king really is a bit magic!

Worst reason to snap? Rose could not have shared the door in Titanic because if you watch the film Titanic it is clearly not *buoyant* enough to share.

It's Wednesday, my dudes

Skipping prologues is the book version of making your carrot cake with shredded kale and we should in fact look at you weird if you then say you didn't understand the book

“And while I would love to continue splitting hairs about whether a country starving kids is better or worse if the kids are already sick let’s just table that discussion for when I see you in hell.” 🔥

one thing I’m pondering, and I don’t know if I can describe it very well, is what feels like a very Chicago Catholic energy around separating CHURCH conservatism from POLITICAL conservativism, which the trads and the sedevacantists across the asshole spectrum from JD Vance to Cardinal Dolan conflate

The Trump administration’s tariff regime and the elimination of fee exemptions for items under $800 is limiting resource sharing between university libraries, trapping some books in foreign countries, and reversing long-held standards in academic cooperation. 🔗 www.404media.co/libraries-ca...

This is the same as when plastic straws (which also important for disabled people) got the blame (and ban) for ocean waste when the problem was/is and will be until addressed, fish nets

Environmental protection is sexy actually so write that down

Oooh so private equity is killing it in 2 years or less. How is accepting a deal like this not a violation of fiduciary duty?

"please rate your package delivery" i mean ill click the smiley face because i assume it impacts the poor bastard who delivered it but i must impress upon you that forcing both him and i into this situation is an act of utter inhumanity and furthermore that god frowns upon your deeds

Okay look the sports betting one was a mistake. Stopped clock I guess

I find it actually quite grim that ww1 was such an improvement in quality of life that actually people liked it. As far as seeing another country goes a lot of ANZACs loved being in Cairo for training and later France when fighting (they didn't exactly see a lot of Turkiye).

Even without the nearly 2 grand on a fridge that *steals my personal data*, what am I *getting* for watching fridge ads? Are they gonna rebate the cost of the fridge to me?

I think rebracketing like this is my favourite way to create words

Wow www.bbc.com/news/article...

All men's clubs do not get to call women Karen. To be Karen requires a position of privilege and I seriously doubt this club has enough men of colour for that to be a problem www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I wish that the murderbot show hadn't framed the robo cop as being more in danger from a mob of humans than the reverse. Like it's a thing I really like in the books that humans don't know Murderbot is the good one™️ so they react in fear.

Fun vaccine fact: Tetanus infections are slow enough you can get vaccinated post exposure and still be protected before it advances to serious complications.

Bookshop.org seems cool but please remember that it's not an option outside the US or the UK. Say what you like about Amazon but they sell here The frustration I feel when people signal about supporting independent bookstores instead of Amazon isn't fair, but it's real

Strong why should I have to change, "AI" is the one that sucks energy from me

Let's all be willing to be bad at a new skill to welcome in someone

The obituary I'm waiting for won't be in the back

Me five minutes ago: I'm not going to read the Prince Andrew biography, so I'll just read this article about it Me after reading these two paragraphs: LMAO GOOD GOD

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I genuinely think we need to be more open to letting people identify with their heritage and not "white" but uh... not like whatever this is

Reminds me of Naomi Wolf's Death Recorded moment which barely comes up when talking about her now
