Living Bechdel Test, we love to see it

Indigenous kids don’t get bail for stealing food to survive. BRS just got bail for allegedly murdering five people.

Explain justice to me again….

currently in day 10 of I-can't-believe-it's-not-covid and I'm *so* fed up with having a head full of snot, and getting exhausted & nauseous doing the least little thing.

I thought hell would freeze over before I agreed with the pope. But in a world riven by cruelty, that day has finally come | Rebecca Shaw It’s a relief to see the pontiff decrying brutality, because it seems most current world leaders lack the necessary spine

Ok that’s better, anyway i had a little rant www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Four frames. Angus Taylor and journo. 1. Angus: “We need to decide who we let into this country...” Journo: “We already do, through our immigration process.” 2. A: “Yes, well we need to make sure they respect our values…” J: “They already have to pass a values test.” 3. A: “Well, we need to ensure they don’t breach these values…” J: “We have laws, and consequences for people who break them.” 4. A: “Something something people from Gaza…” J: “It’s hard coming second to Pauline, isn’t it.”

All he’s got.

Framed in the eye-shaped opening of a cave, Rand al'Thor stands with one arm shading his eyes as he holds a glass sword horizontally aloft. He wears a red coat with ornate gold trim. His belt is an undulating Chinese dragon. Slung on his left hip are a sword and dagger. Behind him, a moon hangs in partial eclipse. The background of the cover illustration is divided by a stalactite pillar. To the left of it, Moiraine in blue dress and Nynaeve in yellow hurry after Rand as he takes a lunging step further into Shayol Ghul.

Ok, Netflix has one called Apollo 13: Survival from i think 2024. The famous line happens about 30 minutes in

Not this one, which is free on Tubi in Australia- they're not using as much archival footage as I remember.

Or maybe Apollo 13: The Untold Story (1995), check on Prime

Not sure - most likely imdb entries are
Apollo 13: The Inside Story, 2006
Or maybe
Failure is not an option, 2003

I watched a doco on the Apollo 13 mission, and he was incredible. By the time it was over I was ready to change my hall pass.

Doing a basic calculation using a chatbot instead of a calculator uses between 2.5 million and 62 million times more energy. And using chatbots for calculations is *extremely common* - the companies have marketed these systems as general purpose, everything-apps!

Detainees too young for social media, but old enough for jail As a nation, we have decided that a teenager cannot navigate a social media algorithm, but a 10-year-old can navigate a courtroom. For Australia's 2025 UN youth representative Satara Uthayakumaran, the contradiction is impossible to ignore.
