Has anyone taken a three year old on a long haul flight and has some tips for parents? Maybe some stuff you wish you’d known at the time? It’s Melbourne > London with one stopover, so 19+ hours in the sky plus another couple of hours in an airport around 1am 👍

Who should I donate to this year? I’m fucking hells out of the loop on cool projects on the go. Considering not sending cash to MSF this year because they send us so many fucking newsletters and shit I wonder how much of it actually goes to operations. Would prefer smaller orgs and projects

Crazy how elon musk has lost more money in the last two seconds that I’ll ever earn in my life

Political scientist [unveiling enormous scatter plot]: so, we come to explaining why Kier Starmer’s prime ministership was sadly unfortunate. Yes, as you can see from the clear convergence of data points here *circles a big cluster of dots* we can only conclude that he was a colossal fucken melt

I destroyed everything that gave people hope and replaced it with something that couldn’t even sustain my career

Does anyone else find that ever since the office, instead of making you laugh, every comedy makes you so embarrassed you can’t be in the same room as the tv? Why is every comedy show now just a thermonuclear trigger for people with social anxiety

Everyone who encounters my child is delighted and charmed, even the woman working at big w who doesn’t under any circumstances wish to interact with anyone and especially not a child (as is her right)

it commodifies the underclass as a vehicle for transferring public resources to the propertied class. You know, like paying police and prison guards to criminalise and incarcerate people born into poverty. Paying social workers to steal children. Same model. thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

How this email finds me

I am not mental

Gymwear manufacturers like to invent a garment that could take the most shredded and peeled diuretic addicted bodybuilder and somehow accentuate the dozen vestigial fat cells that have made their final stand on their lower back. I can’t see the point of a clingy garment. Let the fabric drape

Crushing news for my haters this morning

Scritting in the skritchen scrying into my screral because this scrawful scrauthor keeps scrusing scrifficult words

I don’t understand what the driver is doing not to hit the brakes. Does the car really not respond to driver input when it’s on autopilot?

We’re having a PR crisis at the child murder factory. We need to increase our PR budget

Honestly hadn’t fully cottoned onto how deep into fuckedness róisín murphy had fallen. This is abhorrent

New TNMT origin story just dropped

It’s crazy how this makes me feel sorry for Americans this morning

Tomorrow morning I hope I wake up to learn that the USA has been defeated. Wait, the what cup?

I write down lyrics I come up with when I’m half asleep or remember from dreams and sometimes there’s some bangers. But sometimes there are some genuine stinkers. Lol. Free to a good home

Imagine if narcissus stared into the lake expecting to transform into a flower, only to discover the lake had transformed into him. Well, now cast your eyes into the reflecting pool. Has it not turned into the perfect reflection of that venal oaf Trump? Is it not giddyingly fitting? Perchance???

This is getting a lot of hate but people are so quick to judge. Let’s see how you feel after 9 years of no brunch

Your periodic reminder that people are *more* abusive online when they're using their "real names" than when they're using a persistent pseudonym and this effect has been replicated in literally every study that has ever been done

The USA one step away from a notes app apology right now

I want to say Myspace around 2005 but that’s bullshit, it was definitely auspol twitter in the Abbott era

Inherited dad’s Conan painting and unfortunately it goes substantially hard in the living room

my conspiracy theory around the online safety act and digital ID is that a significant part of it is MPs wanting to criminalise criticising them online

RE: the discourse: I think a lot of people understand that x or y food has a lot of oil, salt and/or sugar in it, but do tend to underestimate how much. These videos obviously suck, people can eat whatever the fuck they want and making people think that soy lecithin is uniquely toxic is garbage

Controversial opinion: it would be cool for Hanson to appear at the press club if it was arranged in such a way that the minute she took the stage, walked up to the lectern and began to talk, that by way of a giant spring-loaded boom arm, her face was targeted with a cartoonishly large cream pie

I just feel like this deck is ripe for Mitch Stark to take a few early wickets. Bowl a fuller length, get it to skid through, rattle the top order

Call me ea nasir the way i don’t like the coppers

Surely the ABC has barely scratched the surface of what the budget means 18 year old model train entrepreneurs

It’s a sad reality that if you’re alive on the planet at this time in human history then your whole entire shit is captive to one of the four feudal lords of online, one of whom is chewing his face of with pupils barely able to take in a scintilla of light, on account of him being high like fuck

Lmao

It sucks how a huge number of my personal contacts and the vast majority of my social network is completely inaccessible to me because a Facebook 2fa glitch locked me out of my account, and after several years of searching for a solution, nothing I try works

this, bluetooth speakers (mostly mono), “sound bars”, no actual hi fi gear available for purchase, beats by dre headphones with ridiculously scooped frequency profile, and autotune vocalists where you can’t differentiate between artists or get a sense for the person behind the music. dismal. Hi kids

I’m trying to work out just from reading posts if the US is paying Iran money or just allowing Iran to have access to Iran’s own money that the USA stole. American accounts aren’t clear on this subtle point

This is neither here nor there but I just feel like it would probably be trivial for Australia to jailbreak the subs

Hey Bluesky, I’m hoping people can help me out here: I’m looking for giant lovers rock power ballads of the 80s and 90s. Crooners and heartthrobs but also probably a few of those kind of dripping wet hair metal bands hoping to score a crossover hit. Trying to build a bit of a library

Not now, Keith Richards

Notice how similar CD/DVD looks to the word “COVID”? Think that’s a coincidence? Lol. You fool

You have to understand the mindset of guys like Tate. He saw Southern’s antifeminist media brand and saw an opportunity to exploit.

At what point do people acknowledge that Israel is just going to keep doing Israel things and no amount of talking in various rooms is going to alter that

Up the ra

3 year old wants to watch BMX videos, found something on youtube. Vibing out for a second going ah man I haven’t heard this boldy james track before, he’s a special talent etc, not clocking that I was playing rap music to my 3 year old. Had to blink twice to engage dad brain

Reverse Gallipoli where the Turks can’t get past the Beach

I don’t know about the rest of you but if I had a trillion dollars I wouldn’t have a trillion dollars anymore because I would’ve given someone a trillion dollars to kill elo elo elo what’s all this then
