We rightfully give JKR shit for a lot of stuff but I think this map is by far the funniest thing she's ever produced

I attended a school by Tewkesbury Abbey where the bones of Edward IV’s younger brother are stored in an underfloor vault. George Duke of Clarence did a lot of misconducting in his various public offices and he was eventually drowned in a butt of Malmsey wine. Sometimes we got to see the bones. ☠️

BREAKING: Prince Andrew and every other member of British royal family killed in freak electrical accident during group photo. Search has begun for a surviving heir

look my advice to Chuck would be: it never hurts to throw a disinherited relative in the Tower of London. you don’t want to take any chances

got out one of my Spring jackets today and guess what i found in the pocket? the city of atlantis

the kids are the responsibility of us all always! christ on a bike

How in one interview our Prime Minister can celebrate protecting Australian children from the interwebs, while saying other Australian children should be ultimately left stateless, because of their mothers, is just beyond me.

it's unbelievable to me that someone could actually be a trillionaire. i think most of us have trouble internalizing how much money that truly is. let me put it in simple terms for you: a trillion dollars is three million dollars

they had just taken one of the last of her corgis out of the freezer to do a standing rib roast for his birthday and now its ruined

Mainland police are putting pressue on Chinese delivery riders working overseas in Sydney, including targeting their parents still in the Mainland, warning them to stop protesting in Australia for better pay and work conditions or face arrests upon returning to China.

Oh blu blu blu we don’t know what happens I can call my aunt when she wakes up in six hours you dipshit

‘My motivation was to show that China isn’t this hermit kingdom the way it’s often presented,” “It’s actually developed tremendously. It’s yielded real prosperity for its citizens.” How tf is it a hermit kingdom people from there can talk to us. They do so on a daily basis

I've seen the Chinese gov engage in all kinds of grotesque repression of labor activism, but this is a new level of absurdity. Solidarity to the Hungry Panda workers!

Chris Minns' police force assaulted Muslims at prayer, NSW Police and Minns refused to apologise. This incited even more Islamophobia, now additional violent threats have been made during Ramadan. Sadly predictable and very scary for the community's sense of safety. www.smh.com.au/national/lak...

'The group was celebrating a significant milestone yesterday. The state upper house had just passed the Vicarious Liability Act unopposed, effectively reversing a High Court decision that meant churches in VIC cannot be sued for the actions of one of its priests.' www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

“The selective punishment of one group of migrants or refugees is not an incidental feature of our migration regime: it is its central organising principle.” Sanmati Verma, Josephine Langbien and James Clarke on the new wave of deportations to Nauru.

It's time for companies to pay up when they steal an artist's voice to train AI. Support our Stop AI Theft campaign: meaa.org/stop-ai-theft

Voice actor and MEAA member Thomas G Burt used to make a comfortable living from his creative career. After AI was used to clone his voice, he now sells storage to pay the rent. meaa.io/4rYwGKF #StopAITheft #PayUp

Another day in the wife mines. Boss says if we don’t find another vein of single monogamous sweeties soon they’re gonna close us down. Says poly couples where the guy is straight are the future anyway. City boy doesn’t understand. My father, my grandfather, they all dug wife in these tunnels

i have had to find other ways of framing this to get people to respect my boundaries around gen AI, but what i really want to say is: do not pollute me spiritually

(saying my daily affirmation) Yes

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

"When you look at the force and the brutality that they used, it’s a wonder someone wasn’t killed," says grandmother Jann Alhafny. She broke four vertebrae at the rally. "Everything was wrong about it. They were like a pack of wild animals. They had the devil in their eyes."

Dozens of people who were injured due to police violence at a Sydney rally last week are considering legal action against NSW Police and the state government. www.deepcutnews.com/p/they-were-...

AI is revolutionizing the world! A Playstation now costs $5,000 and this is the last phone you will ever own.

Spoke to a promising rural high school student today about the prospect of going to University and they were straight up: 'I can't afford it.' 'The fees? Or living out of home?' 'Both.' It's been a remarkable, bipartisan effort to destroy the pathways people like me took into tertiary study.

are subtitles just not available on the 9 Olympics broadcast or what? this issue is causing a LOT of conflict in my neurodivergent household

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

I don’t know how to express how extremely gross it was to see the machine make my friend speak English against his will using his own voice.

Discovered today that Instagram had turned on (without my opt-in) automatic AUDIO translation of any reel that shows up in my feed not in English USING AI TO MIMIC THE SPEAKER’S VOICE and WOW it was creepy and upsetting. You can turn it off in “Language & Translations” in Settings. 🙅🏻‍♀️
