I visited Iceland midsummer, just an amazing country. Next visit will be midwinter.

Beautiful Cycling Bridge of the Silv’ry Spey! Alas! I am very sorry to say That bicycles now have no pathway www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Crabs! Buckets!

My gift to you today: the gut-rotted misery of Graham Linehan’s wretched life ❤️

“Crystal Wilsey, a cashier at a Cinnabon franchise in Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin, said some unforgivable things to a Somali couple who had the temerity to request more caramel on a pecan cinnamon roll. But I don’t think she should have been summarily fired.” Whoa now you earned your pay here Arash.

Update: It’s hot in Perth. It’s going to get SO MUCH HOTTER by Sunday. Whereupon I will fly to far North Queensland, for secret reasons, and 39° will be a balmy memory. And let’s not even mention the fucking humidity. Oh Christ the humidity :(

Higgins was raped in Reynold’s office but it’s Reynolds who is the true victim, who deserves Higgins’ payout, who has suffered the most. May Reynolds never again know peace or happiness. She is vile

Is this bad? It seems bad. It seems really fucking bad indeed. A colleague thinks one of the reasons Putin is utterly resistant to a ceasefire is the army would outright mutiny if told to resume warfare, and that makes sense to me. The slaughter tap would be near impossible to turn back on.

There’s a weird fuzzy crossover zone where it’s hard to tell SovCits from a certain sort of lefty and this skeet is 🤌🏼 Dezi Freeman wouldn’t have written it differently.

“Let them be kids” while they lower the age of criminal responsibility to 10 *spits*

Love these

A weasel’s shoulders below a face like an elephant’s vulva.

Look at these two haemorrhoids, together at last

I would forswear sex for a year to have seen this

Hands Reaching Up From Hell, Wat Rong Khun Temple, by Chalermchai Kositpipat, 1997

The middle-aged man had craniosynostosis -- premature fusion of three skull sutures -- which was typically fatal in childhood in the Medieval period. 🏺🧪

Yesterday NZ moved to ban puberty blockers for trans teens

Impossible how good reading is. You mean I just point my face at the paper for a bit and it does a whole update on my brain?

They aren’t even trying.

See?

I e only just discovered Coates and, as one does, when one finds someone who gives joy one must share said joy. Shorter: bloody funny stuff, this

This is a scorching article on the absolute state of The New York Times, and much of the rest of the media. Not just the billionaire media, note, but also the billionaire-*compliant* media, which both-sides every issue with purchased junktank talking points. lithub.com/maybe-dont-t...

And in the meantime Albanese, the shivering little sook, won’t regulate gambling advertising because Labor, with their obscene majority in the lower house and a guaranteed majority in the senate in this issue, is scared. Despite a Labor report showing exactly how to do it. Pure cowardice.

Testing something: Out, Cheney. In, Mamdani. A good day.

Which is why we're going to use police powers to stop a person’s welfare payment before any court process. Just like Jesus would have wanted.

Have a listen to this flaming pile of horseshit, Abbott and Morrison wouldn’t have phrased it any differently.

Huh, looks like Conservapedia is dead :’(

The NY Times and WaPo may be lost causes but holy shite look at PEOPLE out here absolutely killing it with 100% unvarnished truths 🌟

This is several days old. But amidst so much else id missed it. That’s a stunning number. No wonder they about-faced. Reminder of the power of consumers in oligarch era, not subject to the same kind of targeting.

The fuck is it with the golden Nazi dildo on the desk?

Everything this woman represents is an obscenity.

I call bullshit, there’s no way a billionaire could be this stupid.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK? Reynolds is a monster. Utterly ghastly person.

There’s shooting yourself in the dick and then there’s this. An ex-captain of the Wallabies, now a Senator, has been booting from the Parliamentary Sports Club because he pointed out it may not be the shiniest idea for said club to be run by the GAMBLING LOBBY and headed by the PM. Fuck me dead.

This is such a clever idea on taking kids to museums/galleries www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Want yourself some history of Gaza? I gots you covered 👇🏼

As I was saying:

1 - pre-Trump this wasn’t an issue 2 - a world without warmongering fuckwits is better than a world with them 3 - yes, it’s better to have multiple independent suppliers 4 - balkanisation is the new thing as the States ease into fascism 5 - we could be so much better than this

There’s something about Tom that brings out the worst in some kinds of people.

I do love how there’s a straight line between Rupert Murdoch and the death of the Australian right wing as a viable political entity

Windjana Gorge, folks. A Devonian coral reef roaring 80m vertically out of the flat plains, karst and dramatic and very, very speccy.

Oh my
