Melbourne’s Nazis are going to have a fucking field day, tomorrow. I bet they’re already organising their police-escorted protest marches…

Waiting for the NSW Police to hold their conference so I can find out if I'll wake up to the Nazis starting their purge or not...

The $0 deal pays Rowling every time, but I don't even think you should pirate this. We should just cease to believe in JK Rowling's existence, and she'll lose her greatest power. I mean, there's no getting rid of the Scrooge McDuckian wealth, now, but she'll lose her platform.

@safety.bsky.app Bang up job on that KWS age verification, guys! I've had time to read their privacy policy in full and still haven't had an opportunity to give them copies of my ID they're definitely going to share or have stolen from them!

Just finished The Drifter today. Crazily good game. So weird hearing Australian accents in a game! REAL Australian accents, not forced fake ones, too. Very few games give the kind of tension and suspense that The Drifter delivers on in each chapter.

Injecting weed is for dummies.

Food banks can always use money, but it’s rough out there, and money is tight for all of us. If you have non perishables like canned food, or things like rice or oats, they’ll often be glad of them. The other thing I’ve heard they want: powdered milk. Kids need calcium, and powdered milk keeps.

American schools don’t teach Archimedes’ Principle because it’s not American-made (in China). USA! USA! USA!

Trying to call the vet to get the results of my cat’s blood tests. I haven’t spoken to such a gormless twit in the phone in years, and I work in tech support. I was just about ready to ask them to put ME down so I didn’t have to be in that conversation anymore. AND they couldn’t give me the results

Self selection at work. Can we just post that sign right outside of people’s front door? They can turn right the fuck around and go back inside.

Used to be we had a good thing going on Global. If I wanted to read all of Edens Zero, that’d be US$500, roughly, at $15 a volume For 33 volumes. That’s AU$760. With the generous $3 a volume discount. Needless to say, I’m not buying any of that. It’s more than paperback prices on Amazon right now.

Blumhouse are such a mixed bag of fine to preferring a root canal as a good way to spend 90 minutes (Insidious or ANY Paranormal Activity film are in that category). I hope it'll be good, but I'm filled with more tension and dread at the thought of it than the finished film/series will manage.

dude I'm getting ads to have a witch blast off my dick

Can AWS stay down like another… 18 hours? I don’t know how much of my job relies on it, but I know I have a fuckload of things to repair, and services being down would give me so much distraction free time!

Ugh… just read Bury the Lede, enjoyed it, went looking for more by the author, and I find he’s some weirdo chaser, apparently? Like, good for him for transitioning and being his authentic self but apparently that authentic self is some kind of absolute dick bag borderline incel?

You want to know the last time I even signed into DeviantArt? It was MSN-client icon still being a thing worth making long ago. I didn't publish a lot, but at the time I would make simple wallpapers, and occasionally icons for random things that weren't often part of a Gnome or KDE icon set.

@stjepansejic.bsky.social I finished Sunstone last night, and started Mercy today, and all I can say on reading your foreword is “mmm yes, harder!”

Pass it on. I sullied my eyes with a quick look and it's all propaganda and bile.

@madcavestudios.com I've been reading a bit of Mad Cave stuff on Global and I'd like to support creators more than their share of my subscription gets them. I don't need issues/TPs on my shelf, but I don't see merch on your site. Mugs, tees, pin badges, that kind of thing. Is that stuff coming?

@stjepansejic.bsky.social I just discovered Sunstone on Global Comics the other day, and I’m really enjoying it so far! Come for the bondage, stay for the romance and drama. I’m about to start vol 4 and I’m so excited for this series to break my heart at some point! Please say it’s going to do that.

Anyone care to explain why the Apple Music app on the mac is absolutely fucking terrible?

This might be the trans-est thing I’ve ever read. I can’t be the only one who thought that, reading Ultimate Spider-Man #1, this year, right?

You want fries with that? tinyview.com/the-other-en...

Nothing is degrading for MtG, anymore. They've sold out well past the point of having any integrity or brand respect at all. Might as well do Star Trek.

Am I learning Python right? My music choice yesterday was Rush, today it's King Crimson.

@aaliyah67.bsky.social So which one are you, little fishie? Zero posts on your OF, and a picture that has apparently been used everywhere for years? 🐈🐠

Happy #Bisibility Day to those who celebrate. 💙💜❤️

Now that “Antifa” is “officially” a “terrorist organisation” (a Tweet isn’t official, Antifa is a right wing fiction, and any who wear the label aren’t organised enough to be terrorists), there’s no reason not to shoot first if you see a meathead in a tactical vest. You’re going to get vanned.

30% of Americans are unable to follow the lyrics of Remember the Name nces.ed.gov/pubs2020/202...

Locking in my bet, now: the next thing we'll hear from Tyler Robinson is a whole bunch of lies delivered through a smirk about how left wing he is, and he'll get off with a light sentence. You think he WON'T be offered that deal?

Donald won't be able to resist giving Charlie Kirk a state funeral. He loves his pageantry too much. Attendees are gonna be a real who's who of the far to farther right. What do they plan to do? Drop a bulletproof dome over the funeral?

And conservative politics is against all of that, with zero room for compromise.

So I asked CharGPT what to do about America and it suggested dropping an asteroid on the place. Wait… Char?!

Some might call it a tragedy, I call it a start.

Mandarin learners, New Practical Chinese Reader, level with me, do you think Ma Dawei and Ding Libo are in love? I haven’t touched my NPCRs in like six years now, but our whole class thought there was a gay romance blossoming there.

WHO WASHES THE WASHMEN!?

Team Cherry should have announced Silksong's release date a year out, so Bethesda could hold their surprise same-day drop of Oblivion Remastered (that nobody complained about) off specifically to crush Silksong. That's what you all sound like.

... Is Caine AM?

How did I make it until tonight to learn @glitchprod.com existed? Just watched the pilot for Gaslight District and I can’t quite quantify how sick it is. Somewhere between “fully” and “as fuck”.

Fuck me. I'm beginning to remember why I uninstalled Pocketcasts the last time, five or six years ago! SO MANY notifications! Not the most any app gives me, but way too many for something I don't want to even look at until I put a podcast on. Literally all I care about is when a new episode drops.

I love every track on Minutes to Midnight. It's been my one and only "zero skips" album since it came out, but I really think the track sequencing is wrong. The album has two threads, really. Mike on creativity and politics, Chester on relationships and pain. In Between brings it together.

Looking through my photos on my iPad, I saw some of my reply comics to @crustaceansingles.com. Some of these stand alone and I don’t even remember what they went to!

Well that’s genuinely upsetting… just spent my entire lunch break trying to log into the @globalcomix.com app. Reset my password. Reinstalled the app… the last update broke something on iPad.

Did someone just write “Elon” in a Death Note and think of this guy by mistake?

I hope Rowling and Linehan share a private flight somewhere, and the plane goes down with only the crew walking away.

I read Finding Batman, from DC’s 2022 Pride collection this morning. Kevin Conroy’s story. I had heard about it, before, I knew the story and the content from the commentary cycle, but I hadn’t read it. I don’t think just nine pages have ever had such a profound emotional effect on me. Actual tears.

Unpinned my post on preparedness and resiliency. Apparently the prevailing strategy in the US is to just shrug and say it is what it is. You're all going to die, if you're lucky.
