Current read. Author has a very funny turn of phrase and some choice opinions on Bangladeshi society and politics I think (and I've barely started).

Two kangaroos have bras on. One has its forearms under it, not over. There is a koallaby, several wtf are theys, floating flags, and two other artworks have double union jacks on the flags.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

STORM!

Suspect this is the fandom's newest meme format #Formula1

for Americans this is like explaining drafting to Dale Earnhardt

I miss when Twitter was truly great like the time a guy got upset at someone calling out a cricket team and started explaining how bowling worked and at the end OP was like "thanks for explaining btw I hold the world record for most career outs in cricket history"

I came here for this one

I'm enjoying The Three-Body Problem a lot. I read very mixed reviews, and I can see where folks who disliked it are coming from. I can't do the math for theoretical physics, but I've enough of a layperson's interest to have read enough about some of these ideas. It's *ambitious*.

Googling doesn't bring up the specific monster but a classic Doctor Who episode had these faceless androids that shot lasers from the palms of their hands and they TERRIFIED me.

HEY

Deloitte also fucked up the same way in Australia www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

More fuckups like this please, they need to understand that AI won't make them any money and may actually cost it.

...in hindsight, there were clues #MclarenDSQ #LasVegasGP #Formula1

sorry for rewilding your wife. I hope it's some consolation to look at all the flora and fauna that are thriving inside her

I didn't choose shit but I eventually wound up as a PA to the coolest boss I ever had. It took a good boss to show up just how bad some of my others have been

Wait wait wait we might be looking at a McLaren double DSQ... That would be VERY good for Max lol #formula1

Guys guys guys I am NOT KIDDING about the Heated Rivalry adaptation

If Oscar can't have it I want Max to have it. Nothing against Lando (he's probably going to get it) but the behaviour of McLaren has been stomach turning. I'd also just rather Oscar be beaten by Max if he's going to be beaten. Because dude. It's MAX. #formula1

Introverts: do you ever just agree with someone to end the conversation and keep your peace because arguing feels pointless and you already know the truth, and you just want the talking to stop?

“the Grinch hated Christmas, the whole Christmas season. Now, don’t ask why, no one quite knows the reason.” Grinch: * proceeds to give very detailed list of reasons why he hates Christmas*

DAE remember The Mighty Boosh episode with the boxing kangaroo and that one Indigenous Australian character that says "Christ, you're thick" in the most Aussie accent you ever heard? Whenever I type that phrase on Reddit lately I am hearing that EXACT inflection in my head.

I thought he looked like he was fucking crying post quali (the "Oscar has no feelings" people can bite me) www.tumblr.com/powerful-owl...

literally a whole babylon 5 episode where they talk about the obligation to disobey illegal orders like 49 times

I had somehow managed to forget the existence of THE SPHERE. Like my brain erased it in a desperate act of self preservation Ofc now I have to re-read one of the very best pieces of RPF ever produced, Happy Death Race (and yes it is a Happy Death Day AU shut up it's brilliant) #Formula1 #LasVegasGP

Have a video of a duck warming it's toes by a fire. Did you know ducks did that?

I'm drunk and trying not to fight with idiots in the motorsports forums so I'm making it yalls problem

While we're on the topic I just reskeeted. It seems to me that if Australia were not just one big open air lunatic asylum with people with very obvious untreated mental health issues just wandering the street without any support or shelter...anyway yeah that.

"you can't solve every problem by giving poor people more money" "actually we did a study that shows you ca-" "AHAHAHAHAHA 😅 pop that in the bin. Anyway, as I was saying....."

The Heated Rivalry adaptation is actually looking promising, I'll need to figure out how to yo ho ho that

The Queen has spoken

As if any of us don't already know it would be Verstappen.

I miss when movie theaters were a little cold. Every time I go I have to wear a bikini because it is unbearable

Current read. Been meaning to get to this one for years.

TFW the team that shafted you is experiencing the Horrors and you get to say "that's none of my business" with a serene smile, a giggle and a Kermit meme reference #CarlosSainz #Ferrari #ScuderiaClownShow

1 - who held the gun to his head because how tf else did you ever get him to do it 2 - He doesn't make the slightest effort to un-Maxify himself and adore that. Deadpan, obvious and doesn't suffer fools (shout out to that one person he literally called an idiot, congrats) youtu.be/a7rd1PFWPCw?...

Current train read. Steampunky, art deco looking violent, sapphic, *extremely* dense. TBH it's taking me a bit to get a handle on but that's good.

Oh my. James Talarico is incredibly skilled in dismantling Christian Nationalists. Get this man in the Senate.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk? But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession. But that's just me

New week, new train read

youre asking chatgpt. im asking my discord full of autistic people that i keep in my back pocket. we are not the same.

Caught up on #SagaComic (I was about 7 issues behind). Still one of the best stories I've read in any medium. And huge shout out to Fiona's artwork, it brings it to life so glowingly. I should probably go back and read it from #1. That might be my next big read.

Hit my absolute limit today with people telling me what to do and how I should be doing it, and gently and (I think) politely suggested that they refrain unless I ask.

Yes I am casting about for my next read.

Was just going back through my Goodreads - gosh I wish Victoria Helen Stone had written more than two Jane Doe novels. Those were brilliant.

Buckle up. The crowd that brought you "Fifteen is too young to transition" and "Fifteen is too young to terminate a rape baby" is about to bring you "Well, now, actually, fifteen year olds, historically, were married with children by now, so you know, it's not really pedophilia..." (Some were 13.)

Current train read Honestly way better than I expected - I thought this case had been wrung dry already but it def hasn't. The Mushroom Tapes review – Erin Patterson through the eyes of Helen Garner, Chloe Hooper and Sarah Krasnostein | Australian books | The Guardian share.google/KALPpGTl9QTk...

history will ultimately decide this but i think joyce carol oates might have just landed the most devastating burn in human history. like the death star trench run of posting
