I use my brain for ideas

A simple clay figurine on display in a museum. He has a churlish grin, smiling eyes and both hands pressed to his tummy as if he's rubbing it. Other clay items are visible in the background.

They just released a one-shot chlamydia vaccine for koalas. ☺️

This will obviously push house prices further up. Please don't pretend this helps with housing affordability.

I don't think it's fair to characterise a defense lawyer that way, but in any case isn't there an obvious conflict of interest? The producers of the show should have discounted him as a guest for that reason.

I don't understand how the relative ages of Italy and the USA are relevant when both are much younger than ancient Rome.

Is it as old as ancient Rome?

I fully understand that his voice is jarring, but I still think taking shots at him for it is tacky and unnecessary. There's plenty of other stuff to rip into him about.

Is that essentially a way of moving liquid by sucking it halfway up a long straw? I can see how that might be precise, but is by there a chance of the operator being infected or the sample getting saliva/breath in it? Sorry, I've never pipetted anything before.

One of the first things I do with any new laptop is go to ninite.com and get all my favourite utility apps in one download. ♥️

I'm confused by this part. They say 30% of cases identified a woman as the perpetrator, and then refer to misidentification of women as perpetrators.

So is 30% an overestimate? The AIHW website indicates 23% of women and 7.3% of men have experienced DV since the age of 15, so 30% isn't far off. 🤔

Reek, reek. It rhymes with sleek.

I love leaving the library with 10 books and no chance of finishing them all ♥️

Where in the World is Sandy Loam? 🔍 💃 🌏

I feel like blocking is free and fun. I block every user i see that posts ads, ai content, thirst content or looks like they might be a jerk. You should try it! Block me even.

A meme starring Bianca Del Rio and Trinity K Bonet. Bianca (labelled as "everyone") asks "What do you do successfully? Quickly." Trinity (labelled as "LLMs") looks confused.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

I don't understand what this cartoon is saying. It's an ugly caricature of Trump surrounded by current things/people? What's the message?

There's also a Labia fanta and Labia pluto. No Labia majora unfortunately. 🐛

Sorry, is there context for this?

Same in Aus. It can't identify the most common, obvious calls, but it gets any northern hemisphere invasives very easily.

High intelligence is just as abnormal as low intelligence. Socially, you'll do best in the middle of the bell curve.

Found online:
"To play Hoppo Bumpo one had to hop within the declared space, arms crossed over chests, and try to bump the various others sufficiently hard to throw them off-balance. If they touched the ground with both feet they were out, and if you hit people hard enough they were down and out."

I'm from NSW, never heard of it. What is it like? Maybe we have a different name for the same game.

I think you have to be very careful with this sort of thing. "It looks manipulated" is not evidence. He shows that larger precincts swung red, but that could be explained by other things than vote manipulation. It's good that they are investigating, but they need better evidence than vibes.
