Two things are true about Vini.

1. He’s a bit of a prick.
2. He regularly cops horrific racial abuse.

The first does not excuse the second. Being in a football crowd brings a lot to the surface. One of those things is our latent racism.

I love football, but this really sucks. And it’s everywhere.

Pretty sure he’s emblematic of more wrong things than just that…

Was out your way for a few days a couple of years ago for work and really enjoyed it. It was *not* that hot though…

Yikes

Would be interesting to see how this compares to the summer games; the ratio may not be quite as bad. Winter sports are significantly more expensive to do here so not surprising that there is less working class representation.

Feedback can be incredibly important and useful.

Conversely, people are idiots and many are unable to imagine experiences & preferences beyond their own.

Sounds to me like you’re doing a pretty awesome job.

Australia. Mid-North Coast of New South Wales (east coast, about halfway up).

It’s important to find medical folk who get ADHD. They exist. I’m now able to reliably get my meds each month because my new pharmacist told me about an app after I tried to get them using a prescription that I didn’t know had expired.

Pointless being judged by your GP over missed jabs for the kids

And her “centre” is completely nonsensical. For her, the “people on the extremes causing problems” are trans people wanting to exist one one side and transphobes who want them *not* to exist on the other.

This is not a “central” position that can be held in good faith.

I played it a while back and remember feeling underwhelmed. Maybe I’ll use a new playthrough to try to break my Cyberpunk addiction…

Ok, so I’m an O- universal donor and donate plasma every couple of weeks and whole blood every 12 weeks. For nothing.

Would I be making bank in the States?

Beginning to think that it will take a horrendous round of illness and death to remind people why we invented vaccines in the first place.

Ooh. Stealing this. Thank you!

Whoa. Had no idea. Gonna need to do some kind of deep dive into Bsky lore, methinks.

“Just trying to live under the radar”

What is the radar? And why do trans folk need to live under it?

I wish they had the cojones to just say what we all know they mean. The pretence of a civilised centrism is exhausting.

Interesting to note that a high school language teacher (me) seems to know more about economics and the nature of intelligence than the head of a multi billion dollar “AI” company.

I just wish someone with a real platform would say: Wait. That’s nonsense. Explain again exactly what you mean.

I’m all for social cohesion.

However I’m also for political accountability, the protection of marginalised groups, and preventing genocide.

I eagerly await my state-approved beating. That’s how we’ll get there…

if you're an older person who finds words like mogg and maxxing annoying, just starting using them. people over the age of 30 have the superpower to end trends by simply adopting them

Fantastic. Great job, Angus.

Agree. But I’m not sure about the initial analogy. It’s not clear that the family members had any say over who the victim married. They are observers without agency

Can’t say the same about Trump voters.

Forgiveness for genuine repentance? Sure. But the genuine repentance has to come first.

Ooh! I like the sound of this.

100%

If it was in Spain it wouldn’t be a big deal. It’s martes 13 that’s the tricky one over there… 😊

No, but it should be! Why? Why does this amazing thing not exist?

Funny, I didn’t have “corny bsky joke causing me to feel genuine regret” on my weekend bingo card.

In defence of translators (who are all, without exception, amazing): a literal translation of Die Hard into Spanish sounds very, very dumb.

Most Spanish translations of Hollywood movie titles are sooooo different. Jaws becomes Tiburón (Shark) but my favourite is La Jungla de Cristal (the Glass Jungle, which is how “concrete jungle” is translated into Spanish). Which, of course, is Die Hard.

Not cool.

Taking stuff from a museum is cool if it’s a high-tech heist of questionably obtained items from the Louvre or some such.

This was smashing a window and grabbing Egyptian figurines on Caboolture. It’s B&E, not a heist.

Aussie friends, please read if you think the cops are looking out for you. If they’ve never screwed you over, I’m genuinely happy for you. But they will. They just need the right set of circumstances.
