Five days until rent is due… please help! Any amount helps, boosting helps, quote posting helps.

Kier Starmer couldn't lead a patriotic revival of the Southend-on-Sea Amateur Dramatic Society

Shit. The 2019-20 summer was brutal, even without the bushfires.

Stick to news, Leo (Yes, I know)

Awesome STOL capability.

MIKU MACHINE :3

Damn, man, you're saying they took old material that had already been rejected as a criminal case and repackaged it to create the appearance of wrongdoing? That's fucked up, who would do that.

The truth will make you fetch

When I was a kid, there were "rebel" cricket tours to South Africa which led to the participants being banned in their home countries for two years. A South African cricketer, Kepler Wessels, played for Australia because he couldn't get a game otherwise. This was all big news at the time.

Some people here love to dismiss ‘sportsball’ but S. African teams being banned from international competition was an important factor in ending Apartheid because it made their crimes real for non-political folk.

1. "Love Languages" were originally conceived of by a Evangelical pastor to get women to accept less than in their relationships. 2. I can find/make an infographic that says a man giving me all the money in his bank account is an act of service. 3. Get a fucking maid. 😒

common mistake! it's actually spelled Epenstain Files

Wow, this is erasing history, isn't it?

Today is my Birthday! I will be grateful for some recent art retweets ^^

“I’m an eleven, but continue.”

I had a dream earlier. Elon fucking Musk moved into my house and my GOD he was annoying. He stole my book and replaced MY computer in MY room with his. Do not recommend him as a housemate in your dream worlds. Obviously my subconscious has a correct read on this.

Ruin a book with a car: Mr Popper's Pontiac

new scam going around where they hire you for a job but pay you less than the value your labor produced

HAPPY WIDE WITCH WEDNESDAY

Someone just posted a brief clip of the Fleabag "I want to fuck a priest" scene and now I have to watch the whole show again. "Looks good in the *gestures neckward* mm-hmm?"

Please, please help if you can on this one, folks. I'm really stressed out about it.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

New gender dropped. Lorraine Bracco photographed by Peter Lindbergh for a Vogue France profile in 1990 to promote Goodfellas.

I don't want to Hilary fan at all here, because fuck her, but how did opening that investigation into her emails work for you, bro?

MAGA probably think this is socialism, but it's more like "dirigisme" ("direction") practiced in France, or the attempt at a mixed economy in the UK in the 2nd half of the 20thC. In the UK there was state ownership of large industry, but capitalist labour relations. It didn't lead to socialism

Mainstream political media is not equipped to communicate the basic realities of life to people whatsoever because it prioritizes power's interpretations of reality over verifiable facts.

I accept that this is my cynicism talking, and I'm not claiming it's healthy. But it feels like a fantasy to even suggest charges for an illegal and damaging policy might be possible. Personal corruption? Sure. But beating up on the poor? Everyone loves that.

Australia is what it started out as - a country of resentful prisoners, hoping to be promoted to guards, ready to dob on each other if anyone shows any sign of getting out of line

Reposting this bc the Spacediversary and it being Back To Uni Time is a great reminder (threaded are some photos from Xennial Student Houseshares looking EXACTLY like this)

I agree. However, I'm QUITE happy to miss those calls and be defective in my moral character.

The statue of Fortuna in Melbourne, Australia, is too naturalistic to really be unncesessarily sexy, but she IS squeezing her tit angrily at us flic.kr/p/2jYsPL2

X? Is that like a Bluesky clone?

Mainstream commercial news in Australia has been on the Trump/right wing grift bandwagon recently. Stories about Kirk have been full of the same cooker comments as in the US. But I just saw a story repeating his lies linking paracetamol/acetaminophen to autism and for once there's a lot of pushback

I had no idea iHerb was Dr Oz. It's all over my FB.

he asked for the Girlfriend Experience so I had a panic attack and made him drive me to the ER and wait with me for 6 hours for them to tell me I'm fine

Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with a Disney Mom

Hell, I'm so old I was irrelevant on Pownce, Friendfeed and Orkut

This. It’s even a reasonable search engine as long as you don’t want to buy something. Add your Map app for where you gotta go.

McCarthy was not condemned and censured because he poisoned US political discourse with allegations of communism. It was because he messed with the Army and called THEM communists. The poison remained in US politics long after he had been discredited.

Call me Icarus the way I’m regretting these hot wings

Shit better book the waxer, haven't had my sacred landing space done in weeks
