Re-upped in Crikey! For everyone - @thedeadlynewt.com -who simply can’t come at the idea of following a SUBSTACK link.

I think I played this boardgame. Resource management and deckbuilding, IIRC...

We'll kill them all with obesity!

Cane Toads: Mammal Edition!

NDIS Staffing Issues = Solved!

From a show replete with zingers, possibly the best.

Hiring Wile E Coyote to foment war between the emus and the mice

Famously solves so many Australian problems.

What solution is this? Wrong answers only.

the way this makes sense for RFK is that "healthy people" and "sick people" are ontological categories.

Ah yes, "Change Process", that's another one.

(and for clarity, this exec isn't lacking compassion and is actually highlighting the difficulties, but is just unable to openly use plain language in doing so)

Do love how Executives are just pathologically incapable of talking about "Redundancies" or "Job Losses", but need to talk around it by calling it a "Reorganisation".

Up to 56,000 people died from COVID-19 or RSV last year RSV was associated with 190,000 to 350,000 hospitalizations from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, as well as 10,000 to 23,000 deaths, according to new CDC data.

RFK Jr: I terminated the COVID vaccines because it didn’t make any sense. COVID is gone.

Note: From July 2024 to June 2025 in the US, COVID19 caused up to 450,000 hospitalizations and 53,000 deaths.

COVID ain’t gone, shitbird.

WaPo taking their decreasing reader numbers very personally, it seems.

And this from Butler, defending the removal of participant choice. You will enjoy yourself exactly as you are told to, and we will support others to tell you this.

From the head of Autism Awareness Australia:

It's all fun and games until Gail decides to come for YOUR culture.

The idea that stability of condition precludes people from support is terrible: creates a revolving door of medicalisation and relapse / flare / episode

everyone sure seems to love that picture of the grey square

The theory of the case -- that the SPLC defrauded donors by promising to "dismantle" hate groups while secretly paying informants inside said hate groups, a tactic that it has carried out for nearly half a century -- is completely absurd.

The disingenuous nature of Sky News shouldn't annoy me. But it does...

You thought you heard a roll of thunder, but it was actually thousands of medical historians cracking their knuckles and rolling up their sleeves to revisit centuries of “dirty immigrant” canards.

Inherently suspicious of the claim that "bureacracy" is getting in the way of things happening.

Is hypercaution and close political oversight an issue in the (i.e. any!) public service? Sure.

Who has to pick up the pieces after that are simple, straightforward and wrong solutions happen? Guess.

Images not working right now really does reinforce how visual this site is as a communications medium.

Note for the uninformed: Kathleen Stock is an outspoken, fanatical transphobe.

A better headline might have been "bully calls on bullying victim to put past bullying behind them (and bend over)".

<Self-consciously raises hand to ear>

You need justification? I'm confused.

RIP Desmond Morris, a gifted science communicator whose book The Naked Ape (1967) broke daring new ground in creating elaborate evo-psych justifications for an earlobe fetish
