Preliminary info: a magnitude 4.4 earthquake has occurred near Strathgordon in southwest Tasmania

For someone that is very low rating, this video topped 1million views in just over 60 min.

This is why AI is BS, a simple photoshop does the story so much better.

Reminder, just because Trump thinks something is true, it does not automatically follow that it is true, it is more often than not an inverse ratio. Also you know that whole internet thing, thank the autistic people for that. The algorithms ruining the internet, thank capitalists for that.

Tylenol showing more spine than Disney was not on my 2025 bingo card.

This tracks very well.

So RFK Jnr and Trump are going to do more damage to the neurodiverse community than Andrew Wakefield ever did, and believe me, that is a hell of a watermark to over top.

Fuck Trump and also fuck Andrew Wakefield who started the whole MMR bullshit.

AP gets the headline and the body copy correct on this one.

So the RFK Jnr has a nutjob idea about autism, and of course the Washington post says put it behind a paywall.

Small County

From what I have seen even Leni Riefenstahl would think the Charlie Funeral was over the top.

You know how I know that Acetaminophen/paracetamol doesn't cause Autism... 1: RFK Jnr said it does. 2: a set of twins close to me, 1 doesn't have autism, the other does.

The thing about the first time the FBI catches you on camera receiving a $50,000 bribe is it's definitely not the first time you've received a $50,000 bribe.

Sure Heinrich Homan was caught on tape taking a bribe, but what he could do for the 3.5 Reich was worth more than the bribe he took.

Pfftt... weaklings. 2021 Doomscrolling was so weak compared to Sept 2025, now we have some fine doomscrolling. Ours tastes like doom, with extra shit and fascism, that stuff only had a touch of pandemic and thank fuck he is out of power.

I am not saying that Net Zero Libs/Nats would be a good thing for Australia, but given how bad climate change is, it might be worth a try, they would appreciate it I am sure.

Finally got around to watching the Maria Ressa Daily Show segment... Both terrifying and uplifting at the same time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tsb1...

In the 1950s, Bagram airfield was originally built by the Soviet Union.

Yikes again... when your upgrade literally can kill people, you really need to check it first... www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Here is your reminder given the events that happened in the USA this week, In 2024 1/3 voted against fascism, 1/3 voted for it and 1/3 went, na I'll sit this one out. Translates to 1/3 voted against fascism, 2/3 voted for it. Not voting is always a political act.

Of course 5:30pm on a Friday is when you do your presser for a story you want to be gone... "Optus’ network failed for triple-0 calls, contributing to three deaths, CEO says Optus’s CEO, Stephen Rue, says the telecommunications company had an outage affecting triple-0 calls." YIKES YIKES YIKES

Here's the @auscope.bsky.social Seismometers in Schools recording this morning's M7.8 Kamchatka earthquake. Data and network visualisation is from SRC's Seismosphere. The 24-hour single station view from Nhulunbuy in the Northern Territory shows the seismometer detecting the earth ringing for hours!

When you have been cancelled already... you can take the high road, or the we don't give a crap and are not going to go out without a fight road. The Late Show has gone the latter. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMGD...

In respect of it being International Talk Like a Pirate Day, I would like to remind people that you can still torrent your favourite shows and not pay Disney any money.

The world is going to end up looking back at the Bush years and go, well at least he wasn't as Fascist as the Trump years.

We cross now to the US... and the winner is Measles, followed closely by Fascism and State Run Media.

Wow, the Kamchatsky region really loves its earthquakes, with a 7.8 aftershock setting of a whole new sequence of 5+ quakes in the region.

This is a correct take, and yes the swearing is required, because it really is this bad.

Jimmy Kimmel is never getting a coffee again.

Reminder for the USA You will have to prove you are NOT ANTIFA whilst sitting in a prison cell. They won't have to prove you are to arrest you.

And like clock work Trump has now posted about the need to fire Jimmy Fallon and Seth Myers. Because of course he did, and of course the networks will kowtow because they are cowards.

Well this did in fact age as well as I thought it would.

“Jimmy Kimmel Live will be preempted indefinitely” Wow the free speech loving right wing sure do love cancelling people. And so is added a new line to the poem, first they came for the late night hosts... And if you were shocked by this happening, why have you not been paying attention.

Went to share this article with Mrs Wolfcat and notices the UTM linked included BlueSky as the source, usually I delete the link tracker, but nice work The Conversation and I left it in.

Ah, old Democrats, we can just bipartisan our way out of Fascism school of thinking. The time to stop this was before the January 6, 2021 assault of the Capitol. The Overton Window has been melted, the old models no longer apply in a post truth world.

The actual answer to this question is not 30% of queries are "I don't know", it is 98% of queries, the other 2% are just lucky guesses. LLMs are the dotcom boom for the 2020's.

I tried this with my cat, she learned to speak English to tell me to "stop the god awful noise emanating from my larynx" and this is a direct quote of what she said.

Bwahahahahaha The proposed Macquarie Point AFL stadium in Hobart should not proceed, a long-awaited assessment from the Tasmanian Planning Commission (TPC) has recommended.

We cross now to the US seeing as they have a suspect in custody...

Wow... that is not the right label to put on this image. I am sure he did not do that to himself.

Wordle 1,550 4/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟨⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜🟩🟨🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Interesting choice of word given the current climate in the US.

2 star dropper poles and a green bin full of water the fence did not move over night. Landlord will get someone out to have a look in the next day or so.

US is now operates a post truth world. The right wing set a narrative, the left wait for a truth to appear, at which point the narrative has been set. All models of how to democracy are broken, to bring the US back to a "normal" would require a shift of the Overton window that breaks the model.

Great, about 5 meters of a 2meter high fence on the driveway has cracked at the post in the wind and is threatening to fall into the driveway. Lucky for me, I got the car out of the drive before it has fallen, so that is a win. #MelbWeather

It is a bit blowy out there #MelbWeather folk. 4 stations reporting wind gusts over 90kph, max of 98kph at Melbourne Airport
