The jerseys also say "Ceci n'est pas un maillot" ("This is not a jersey") on the back. Perfect detail.

Just need everyone to know that the Belgium men's soccer team has new jerseys based on the art of Rene Magritte and this is the official photo shoot

Sarah Michelle Gellar honors her "Buffy" co-star Anthony Head following his death:

Anthony Head was an Ambassador for Battersea Dogs and Cats home for more than two decades. Thanks for everything Tony x

“well at least now they’re being honest about it” no! this stuff is shameful and people should have to hide it! honest bigotry is bad!

thank you for this thread! i had an off-the-cuff comic turned into a meme and it's such a weird feeling that my art is just being spread out there without any credit here's a version with my name on it, im fine with people using that one :)

Classicist here to inform you all that this is ancient Greek for summoning a cat

Today’s @nogodsnomayors.com is art in a way you can only appreciate via the previous 91 mayors. Absolutely my favourite pod, the lowest high stakes drama about how city politics (don’t) work.

Tim's failure was not 'failing to check the outputs', it was using a machine that fakes plausible outputs instead of referring to reality It is mid 2026. You cannot plead ignorance about what that software does, anymore It is as bad as sitting down and writing a fake quote with your own hand

Yes, the only reason I could get a degree was free education and onsite college accommodation paid for by Austudy. Now my nephew is graduating with a similar degree and $100k of HELP debt and had to live at home and commute an hour each way to uni for his course.

IT’S CATHOLIC GUILT AND PROTESTANT WORK ETHIC IN A HORRIBLE UNION

more diabolical things in this new NDIS legislation - in Schedule 2, they propose fines up to $20K of disabled people and families for making admin errors in a notoriously complex administrative system

And we are live! Massive thanks to everyone who contributed to this. Reading your posts made me so much madder than I ever knew was possible

I thought I'd get maybe 25 replies to this request and use two or three of them. We're now at 1400. The column, which is 4600 words long (blame yourselves), is finished, but this thread should be studied by future historians. No era has ever been as utterly annoyed, as molecularly fed up, as we are

Tolkien: oh it's no big deal Tolkien: just the top guy in catholicism talkin' about gandalf Tolkien: nope nope not a big deal at all Tolkien: sorry you can never experience that, clive CS Lewis: Tolkien: but that's what you get for picking anglicanism Tolkien: lmao loser ass religion

I'm not even joking about this, Pope Leo had a Tumblr account

I was a Democrats voter (rip) and don’t do it. One of your leaders will do a deal and it’ll splash all over the rest - why waste the range of voices you have now just to hand a slightly bigger mic to one or two people?

Slavic women: *vocalise* Western score composers: Ah yes, native American spirit sounds and extraterrestrials!

Why, though? As things stand you get to insist you're not a party (people hate parties, rightly), you're not bound by any sort of party line, and you still get Climate 200 money. You'll just end up with the same split the Democrats had between alienated Libs and proto/crypto-Greens.

If I’m not evolved enough to understand it, then why did they have to steal my writing to train it?

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

not sure if it counts as a repeat quizzer but I did get one of my favourite eps (familects!) so I’ll take it :) uquiz.com/quiz/wfmEjw/...

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

Schrödinger's AI: at once so easy to use anyone can instantly become a thousand times more productive and so incredibly difficult but if you don't start learning it today you will be left behind and reduced to the status of eternal technical laggard.

This is on the Boring Internet is exactly right and very well written. Read the whole thing terrygodier.com/the-boring-i...

I just received my PLR/ELR statement. PLR/ELR is a way that Australian writers can receive income from their books in libraries and schools. I remind writers to do your bloody paperwork so you can get paid and I remind readers if you borrow our books from libraries we still get paid.

At a digital health festival and for all the AI titled talks, lots about access, lived experience and what actually works … admittedly I’m self selecting topics but it’s hopeful!

I don't think folks younger than 30 know what the internet once legitimately promised to be (and I would argue briefly was): a boundary-less space of pretty much uncommodified information and communication. A mix between community bulletin boards and university library stacks.

How's it going Iliad fandom

Recently, for *obvious reasons*, I've been thinking about what it means when anxiety and sadness are caused not by individual predispositions, but by the state of the world itself. This led me to early 19th-c. France and the notion of "mal du siècle" (sickness of the century) aeon.co/essays/young...

NDIS reform must not be rushed. WWDA joins Australia’s Disability Representative Organisations in calling for genuine Senate scrutiny of the NDIS Reform Bill, accessible consultation, proper safeguards and reforms that do not leave our community behind. Read more: wwda.org.au/2026/05/14/d...

“Outrageous”🔥 Jordon Steele-John has ripped into legislation for massive cuts to the NDIS & called on Senators to vote for his amendment to give the Disability community time to simply review changes impacting their lives. Penny Allman-Payne also not holding back.💥 #auspol

Note that property investors get grandfathered changes, but NDIS participants do not. So our Government is effectively saying property investors deserve the dignity of maintaining their current comfort levels, but people with disabilities do not.

impact analysis of the NDIS legislation is genuinely devastating. 50% cut to social and community participation, sending folks back to group stuff, or heading out to a gig with parents etc. back to the good old days* it seems *terrible before-NDIS times oia.pmc.gov.au/sites/defaul...

"The Albanese government has again ignored the popular and necessary demand to increase the rate of social security payments. As inflation and unemployment continues to rise, at the same time housing and bills are hurting people on higher incomes, the poorest drowned long ago" @antipovertycentre.org

Can someone pls explain how allowing the older wealthy types to keep their existing negative gearing and CGT arrangements, while not allowing anyone else to have the same, is addressing generational inquality?? The headlines are utterly ridiculous.

New Murderbot last week, Anne Leckie and Matt Dinniman landing today, very very happy book nerd times.

We lost Douglas Adams 25 years ago today. This has made a lot of people very sad and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Why should I stop using em dashes? Why should I stop listing things in threes? They’re the ones who suck

Word. We must always be polite and calm, even as people question our right to exist and legislate against our right to have healthcare (or vote, or travel without being asked for our documents, or whichever particular manifestation of bigotry is being perpetrated against a given group.

No one in govt is talking about before the budget, but just FYI, the level of Jobseeker is now 42% below the poverty line - worse than it was during the Howard years... live.thepoint.com.au
