“Over on Twitter, they’re” shhhhh. Shhh.

Shh.

I use those exact springs! they are so damn good on wooden floors, they just keep rolling so beautifully unevenly for cats

Oh hell yes tip visualization looks INCREDIBLE

I'm not generally a fan of the phrase/idea "the purpose of a system is what it does", but the raison d'etre of One Nation really is "just to air half-formed grievances"

anything more than that is more than they can handle

individualism, neo-liberalism, everything being about money, more private sector - all means you have more bullshit to navigate, all the time.

and more requirements to study, hoops for interview processes instead of working then first-hand advancement

maybe this is all ahistorical, but eh

I would add / submit that modern society, or rather, engaging with it in employment, social life etc inflames anyone with mild symptoms

and thus people realising that this is why they've been in particular struggling just to exist. too much is wholly upon individuals to work out

But it is tho…chatting with ai should be considered like chatting with a malevolent demon that may seem like it can help you but you can never trust it and it may well drive you into madness

"more oblong" lol goddamn

Just to point out that Valve has released a new version of Portal 2 for its 15th anniversary, focused on content creation and community content. That's very nice.

Anyways, while Bluesky was down, I went looking for a photo reference in the SD Maritime Museum's archives for and found this lovely photo of the HMS Surprise sailing just off the coast here in San Diego. Thought some of you other MASTER & COMMANDER aficionados might appreciate.

Uni managers gain 'headroom' by fucking everything up. University bosses claim legitimacy from the work others do. And then they make it impossible for them to do it.

Hours of my one precious life spent watching university bosses at a parliamentary inquiry. Please read to make my time worthwhile 😏

“The right wing is on the decline. People are realizing that they have no vision or solutions, just hatred and empty slogans. All they’ve brought to the world is war, inflation, inequality, and social division.”

Multiple protestors charged under Queensland’s ‘from the river to the sea’ ban Police arrested 20 people in Brisbane after protestors chanted phrase at Saturday demonstration

NSW Premier Chris Minns on Thursday confirmed his government was still pursuing speech criminalisation.

"We can see how it operates in Queensland, but in many respects I think that hateful phrase has been exposed as exactly what it is," he said. #nswpol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

still can't believe "From The River To The Sea" became an outlawed phrase in Queensland (2yrs prison) in March. JFC. "Farnsy" flashmob yday allowed protestors to sing the phrase instead & kicks off 3 days of big protests. solidarity from Aotearoa New Zealand to all at Magan-djin/Brisbane 🇵🇸 protests!

a screenshot of a wikipedia article: Abortion Law Reform Act 2019 The Abortion Law Reform Act 2019, introduced as the Reproductive Health Care Reform Bill 2019 in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly, is an Act of the Parliament of New South Wales which removed abortion from the Crimes Act 1900, allows abortions for up to 22 weeks, and permits an abortion after 22 weeks if two medical doctors agree. The Act received royal assent on 2 October 2019, and commenced with immediate effect. With the commencement of the Act, New South Wales became the last state or territory in Australia to decriminalise abortion.

not dissimilar to the state of NSW in Australia in 2019

its not that people were prosecuted before its repeal (in my living memory anyway, I'm 37) but an important change nonetheless

before I searched for the word dream, I went back manually a tiny bit - unfortunately I don't think he's posting anything but articles now 😕

1/2 Yes, Coal Australia does highly deceptive astroturfing like this.

screenshot of an Isaac Chotiner quote tweet @IChotiner It's great to see Sarah Isgur continuing to get these gigs. Lots of people played a role in separating children from their parents, but Isgur did it with a passion and intensity that most of us can only dream about This Week @ThisWeekABC 12 Sept 21 .@GovChristie, @ysimpsonpower, @whignewtons & @rolandsmartin join the roundtable to discuss the political fallout from Biden's vaccine mandate, the California gubernatorial recall election, and the legal battle over the Texas abortion ban. @ThisWeekABC abcn.ws/3k0naq6 [quoted tweet has an image of those people as a promo graphic for that show] 9:44 12 Sept 21

The quiet disappearance of Australia's rainfall observation network For more than 60 years, Frank Pritchard has diligently checked the weather, adding to a record that stretches back more than a century. But he's part of a quietly shrinking network of observers around...

“For more than a century, thousands of people — farmers, postmasters, railway workers — stepped outside..each morning, checked a rain gauge, & written down a number. But over recent decades the number of rainfall observation stations across the country has dived”
