21st century problems can be odd. Applying for new passport & realising you don't know anyone IRL any more who can verify your identity.

Somebody has to do it

I wish I could remember where I read it, but a recent story claimed that young women are looking at older men on Bumble because of all the possessive, misogynist bullshit young guys have fallen for. Older men's feminist mothers taught them to be better than that.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Congress of the jackass

America’s Zombie Democracy Its trappings remain, but authoritarianism and AI are hollowing out our humanity.

The Sydney SciFi Film Festival offers a wonder-inspiring line-up of visionary works from various countries. (Why am I only hearing about this film festival today?) #film #scifi #ScienceFiction 🎥 share.google/FNZv0rVc0bx0...

Brilliant of Jimmy Kimmel to stream the full show on YouTube, rendering Nexstar and Sinclair’s blackout ineffectual. It has already topped a million views in the past hour.

95 Democrats joined 215 Republicans to vote for the Honouring Charlie Kirk bill, while 58 voted against it and 38 voted present
More Democrats voted for the bill than those who voted against it. And these are the people y’all are looking to save you?

Big steps though. Could he manage them?

Just a reminder that both Nexstar and Sinclair hold hundreds of station licenses, each of which could be challenged on the grounds that censoring a funny guy to promote a hard-right agenda doesn't serve the public interest.

Disney paid $16 million to Trump to settle a bogus lawsuit involving George Stephanopoulos.

Disney fired Terry Moran for calling Stephen Miller a “world-class hater.”

Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel.

That Disney has walked back one of those after immense public pressure doesn't change who they are.

We're taking selfies from space A tiny, University of Melbourne built Australian satellite is chasing colliding stars and changing the way we think about space telescopes

Our Space Industry Responsive Intelligent Thermal satellite (aka SpIRIT), developed by our own Melbourne Space Lab in the School of Physics, has been orbiting the Earth for nearly 2 years now. It has now entered the final phase of the mission.

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

Oh lord, I DO have the space. Why have you done this to me?

ABC’s John Lyons has slammed Israel for wiping out an average of 28 children in Gaza “Every Day. Week in, week out, month in, month out”

Lyons “There are on avg. a classroom of Palestinian children in Gaza today, who this time tomorrow will be killed by an Israeli bomb”😳 #Abc

My mum didn't take tylenol while she was pregnant, didn't vaccinate me aginst measles, and I'm still as autistic AF.

There’s no link between Tylenol and autism… but there is a link between Trump and the Epstein files.

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.

If the Rapture only happened to people who believe it is a real thing, this would be a much more pleasant and sane country to live in.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

Oxford has been around since 1096.

Imagine tossing almost a thousand years of academic reputation into the garbage, setting it on fire, and then pissing it out over a useless fucking plagiarism machine what loses billions of dollars a year telling people to kill themselves.

Why not do this?

What was it Shakespeare said? 'Shall I compare thee to a whatever?' Or Elizabeth Barrett Browning? 'How do I love thee? Whatever.'

Autism Speaks is a Very Bad Source. It's not autistics they're speaking for. They advocate for things like ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) which many autistics consider to be akin to torture.

If it's from Autism Speaks, it's axiomatically pseudoscience.

Geez, do you think I should phone RFK and tell him I'm as autistic AF, not vaccinated against measles, and my mother didn't take paracetamol during pregnancy (or indeed at all until she was in her 60s)?
