New Zealand's new anti-stalking laws come into force today - not soon enough in my opinion, but glad we got here! Read about it below: www.rnz.co.nz/news/crime-a...

it sucks how I can’t even look up graphics that can help me identify or differentiate between species of animals without being hit by nonsensical AI slop

I'm so proud to live in a country that decisively rejected British political ideas and values 276 years ago.

The cool new shipping craze everybody's talking about www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

This is the “Lady with the Hood.” It is 28,000 years old & perhaps the earliest depiction of a human face. Made from mammoth ivory, its delicate modelling & drapery of the hood belie the idea palaeolithic people were artistically crude. It is a beautiful piece. 🏛️📷 National Archaeological Museum🇫🇷

I don't know who Paris is and I haven't used tickety-toc since since the tos changed.

“It took Orban in Hungary over a decade of hard work to get such uniformity in the press on social issues. Trump and the American fascist movement have enthusiastically and brutishly gone after media freedoms and have achieved nothing close to this. The British media have just done it to themselves”

Love having my life threatened for doing my job

this is one of the dumbest things about that dumb piece, the idea that working class people don’t drink “fancy” beers is fucking absurd if you actually know any working class people, that’s an idea that’s at least two decades out of date and was wrong from the beginning

I mean look, real talk. We went to war to get the JCPOA with a white man’s signature on it. Israel had its own reasons, but that was basically our reason.

You need to understand that over half this country will never believe we actually lost the war with Iran no matter what happens unless they literally see footage of US servicemen walking with their hands up carrying white flags and tossing their rifles in a pile in front of IRGC officers.

This is some truly appalling NIMBY nonsense. Building infill housing is *good* for the environment. It *protects* birds and orcas and salmon. It *saves* forests and trees. The IPCC and Sierra Club have both recognized that infill housing is essential to protect the environment and tackle climate.

I feel like if I had the resources to climb Everest 20 times I'd be doing other things with my time and money after the 1st, hope this guy ends up a trail landmark.

Archaeologists uncovered a medieval notebook from a latrine in the city of Paderborn, W-Germany. The 700 to 800 year old notebook consists of wooden tablets coated in wax and is enclosed within a leather binding decorated with embossed lily motifs 📷LWL/ S. Brentführer www.lwl.org/pressemittei...

My kink is just being told I'm doing a good job by people I respect

the best thing about the internet was, is, and always will be, free shit. sorry if this offends

Google is AI-eating itself, which we all knew was the direction (obvs with their top AI returns etc) but it seems to be happening on a new level. They don’t want to send you out of Google to the other links that you’re actually seeking, they want to keep you trapped forever in their AI swamp.

Wizards get so mad when you kill them with a gun. All like “ahhh I thought we were doing it magic style” or “this was supposed to be a magical duel this was your idea glggh ack” it’s like dude I’m not dueling you with magic you get a good grade in magic I am bringing my Sig

Good morning Portland

It is weird to hear “shots fired at the White House” and just feel kinda tired about it, right?

I read the Miller Lite piece, and I think the long and short of it is the author internalized all the beer commercials that plays between NBA/NFL games over the past 10 years

steven becomes such a weird character as su progresses. he's a weird creepy little man who always explains how characters should feel

Why are there politics streamers on Twitch anyway? Back in my day, it was for watching people play video games. This is like learning ESPN started airing documentaries about beavers. Even if they’re cool beavers, it’s still a little weird to see on the sports channel.

does anyone remember when discord still had the "chat for gamers" slogan and googling "discord" gave you discord from mlp instead

Cartoon in this weeks @airmail.news

personally i don't think "just drink your beer like a normal person" is "freaking out" but then i'm not the guy who wrote this frankly insane sentence — "Miller Lite is the anecdote to the decadence of a professional class that constantly chases novel gustatory experiences"

A lot of these origin stories sound so dumb because the people telling them make them up as a cover for the fact they don't have origin stories. Most bigots don't end up that way because of a series of radicalizing life experiences.

The ship in a bottle is often an act of sympathetic magic. Mariners make models of their ships to safely voyage a still sea of glass, place them on even shelves. In this act of folk magic is hope both vessels become entangled, that the bottled craft will lend safety to its counterpart. – Dr. M. Benn

"I know it's fake but I think it's funny" Then why are you presenting it as real? C'mon now. You been had. Take the post down. All the replies and likes aren't gonna be worth the blocks.

Okay, children. Let's go over this again, because some of you are on the fucking remedial level here: If it doesn't have proper names or list a location and a search of the news outlet credited returns nothing, it's a fake. For fuck's sake people, TV news call signs are *four* letters. THINK.

A Viennese in Taipei. -- The most famous exhibit in the National Palace Museum in Taipei: the "Meat-Shaped Stone". It was created by an unknown 19th-century artist, and is made of banded jasper. It has the shape of cooked pork belly. #photography #Vienna #Austria #Taiwan #Taipei

one thing that pisses me off most about the 21st century is that, especially now, is that the system could easily be set up to where most of us just have all the taxes we owe taken out automatically, and everyone else just gets a letter telling them what they owe. this matters more than you'd think

Good morning

Mt St Helens May 18, 1980 I just cannot imagine what seeing this would've been like. The person who took this photo had to abandon their car and escape with the motorcycle. 📸Richard Lasher

The Arlington National Cemetery Memorial apparently has deleted references and information on everyone interred there who wasn’t a white straight man from their database - attempting to sweep their existence under the rug. My thoughts on this obscenity cannot legally be shared on this platform.

One thing I love about "ET" is how it time-freezes the last gasp of subdivisions in LA's hills & Valley. I related to riding bikes with friends over graded terraces for homes, making jumps out of plywood. This intersection is at Beaufait & Darby in Porter Ranch (1982 vs. 2022).
