"'Crying horse' toys go viral in China ahead of Lunar New Year" www.bbc.com/news/article... "Shop owners say the frowning toys - originally made in error - are resonating with young workers."

It's hilarious that the big debate in Australian media today is "should ball kids at the Australian Open be paid". Because the answer is obvious if you see children as people. Should people be paid for their labour? Even if that labour is around "famous" people and could be fun sometimes?

I feel this way about gaming pcs very strongly. Powerful ones. State of the art even. If you think this is too radical you do not understand the way the future needs to change yet. But you will. I hope.

The idea that it's just a "purity test" is the pony. You can't be for the genocide in palestine (or whittle it down to being "just a war") or against trans rights while being part of the left at all. It must be all or nothing, which is just the harder way of saying everyone together. What that...

Fuck him. There are a billion Chinese and a billion Indians in the world and anyone not flexible enough to handle basic customer service in an unfamiliar accent is not going to be part of the future anyway.

Before I got into Harry Potter my first reaction was that it was just like the school stories I read as a child, except Enid Blyton was actually more progressive than JK Rowling. The "Naughtiest Girl In The School" books had a school where discipline etc was *run by students in general assemblies*

I'm at the tennis! Kia Arena specifically, for an exhibition doubles match between Stosur/Dellacqua and Hantuchova/Kerber. Three of whom I've heard of, so that's not bad for a $28 concession ground pass

I think you'll find they were actually chanting "Let's Go Nice", an exhortation to play in a clean and friendly way.

I suggest you read the thread replying to me under this quoted post

Seriously. West German intelligence was built out of Nazis too. Look up the Gehlen Organisation.

This is a good idea *if* you have the capacity after dealing with bad stuff while others ignore it. I actually try to think of how to behave strategically and this is one of the ways, but I sympathise with people who just don't have the capacity to be strategic. Life under the jackboot is HARD.

Tomorrow's outfit. I'm going to the Australian Open tennis! (I only have a ground pass so I won't see any big matches but I've never been so it should be interesting).

i like the alt watcher account they are a dedicated hater

I've been saying this shit for months. If I catch whoever runs this account it's on sight

Move to Hell? In THIS economy?

"You mean prosecuting?" "I said what I said"

hey friends, please share or qs to help me to gather funds to pay for this room? i only have 4 nights where i'm currently staying & i am starting radiation therapy again on monday (it would be great to have a stable place to go home to after the sessions so that i can rest) $490 still needed 🙏🏽❤️

Or dopamine. Then again, I was mostly called disruptive until I perfected a few masks, that's when 'old soul' started

I am the convenor of the village assembly of People

With Alt text This means a lot. Ordinary people protesting doesn't worry the government much, but when those people actively resist fascist operations, like these people who have been disrupting ICE's attempts to kidnap people, the system gets scared because it can't function without consent.

I know a lot of like, normie lib white parents who never went through a radical protester phase in college or anything, who ever since 2020 have been teaching their kids that making signs and then going out to protest against injustice is a thing we do together as a family. it feels like a big shift

This means so much when ordinary people who don't go to meetings and don't Discourse are also putting their bodies on the gears of fascism.

I never, ever want to hear about “flyover country” or “what’s in Minnesota?” ever again. That is NPC behavior to me. This is my fucking state. And this isn’t even the folks who are still watching out from their neighbors, from home.

If you're interested in reading Randa Abdel-Fattah's actual views, instead of reading the various (mis)interpretations of them by bad-faith actors, here they are:

Hi folks, I'm seeing a lot of "Eyes on Minneapolis" & "We support Minnesota" sentiment. Here's a tangible way you can help: Trump just suspended federal funding for SNAP benefits to Minnesota. Second Harvest Heartland is an MN-based hunger-relief org. Please donate what you can. www.2harvest.org

I can't believe I just realised this is why the baseball team is called the Twins.

Well, be fair; they're less scary than middle-aged white women in vans.

Like this one, lol: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUlm... It's badly written and quite ugly, but I have a lot of nostalgia from it anyway because of what it did in my head as a child. Plus it was literally made by a teenager. The combination of those two things together is what makes it beautiful to me.

I've been in contact with Tara Knight. She's gone to an inpatient psychiatric facility following a suicide attempt. Conscious choices were made that turned this into what it's become, so next time, I hope we'll all remember that there's a real human cost to clout-chaser callout post 'reporting'.

What do you call Eminem's head in a jar? Partial Mathers

There's no possible conclusion but that these scumbags want a sick, poor population.

Always Was Always Will BE

Similar to my attitude to history videos on YT, one of my fave genres which is rife with AI voice crap. If you've suddenly popped up and you don't explicitly say "Human voiced", fuck you. And I'm getting better at picking the voices too.

Apocalypse Now, which also featured Arnold Schwarzenegger in a bit part that got released after he became famous in Star Trek

I've got a story in Vivid Worlds, so I'll count this as me having a BSFA nom 😉

If they actually paid attention to Prof. Twomey's work they'd know she recently did a long series on the Whitlam dismissal that was far more sympathetic to Kerr's position than most "far left" takes. It's good, watch it if you're into Aus political history youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Tired: Knowing your wizard house Wired: Knowing your lizard house Inspired: Knowing your lizard wizard house

It’s a real mourning for me sometimes. Today. I’m so depressed and anxious I can’t leave the house. That is the opposite of me yesterday. I wish someone had admitted what they went through so their experience could have been used to give me tools

Oh I reckon it's gotta be the sad horse

By the way I’m not even talking about going as far as apologizing. I’m not talking about saying this TO anyone in particular. I just mean simply admitting to yourself or anyone else, without experiencing unbearable ego damage, that you got it wrong

The older I get the more intensely I believe that merely being able to sincerely say “I was wrong, I fucked up” inoculates one against so many kinds of wildly destructive personal evil

TIL that in The America there’s “healthy meal-kit” company called Hungryroot, and I must say that lands VERY differently in Australia.
