It's not "lookatthat, lookatthat!", it's "boogity, boogity"! You learn something new every day.

Blimey!

Co-writer hubby and I got busted for cut-and-pasting Luna into the sky of faraway planet Hitchemus without giving it a second thought

Many moons ago lol

Makes me question the quality of his provocative Instagram footage

Our eyes adjusted eventually. Good documentary -- brisk, witty, presented the material in new and interesting ways.

Ads have started. Yep -- it's fucked.

At the flickers to see Paul McCartney: Man on the Run. When we saw Endgame in the US we accidentally bought those insane seats right under the screen. The Palace Cinema Leichhardt has furnished us with something similar. I expect the movie to look like a non-Euclidean geometry demo.

I deleted my post about scientific names because, hypocritically, I hadn't bothered to check the source. In any case, this is what I really wanted to say:

... there I was, thinking to myself, "Wow, they've even made the MV look like AI!"

Praying there's a Korean version so I can do lat pulldowns without having to listen to the words

#NASAWebb provided the first vertical view of Uranus's ionosphere, revealing auroras shaped by its tilted magnetic field: https://esawebb.org/news/weic2602

archive.org has two of the books in the series, but it's not either of them.

An E.W. Hildick Birdy Jones novel has both the dullest intro I'd ever read and one of the best lines, when, captured and doomed to die, our heroes don't try to hopelessly fight their way out -- they'd rather have a few more minutes of life. Which book? What lengths do I have to go to to find it??

Ern Malley hoax - Wikipedia

Further evidence for my theory by me, that it's the user's brain that detects a person in an LLM and assigns meaning to its output: The Ern Malley hoax. Poetry written entirely at random -- and yet even I can't help finding meaning in it! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ern_Mal...

These shy, scaly anteaters are the most trafficked mammals in the world Conservationists are raising the plight of the pangolin, a scaly anteater found in parts of Africa and Asia that is the most trafficked mammal in the world.

World Pangolin Day!

I'm not fighting that, I'm running away, very very very fast

(That waste is yet another reason Australia is insane to treat asylum seekers as some sort of threat, rather than processing them offshore.)

It just sums up so simply the horrible waste of human ability that prejudice is, and always has been.

Here's the article, about Captain Whennah Andrews and her campaign to change policy. The quote is from "Sgt. Maj. Anthony Moore of the Army’s office of the deputy chief of staff for personnel".

Researching (instead of writing lol) I came across a 2021 article about the US military allowing more hairstyles for Black women. Struck by this quote: "This is so we can expand the pool of people eligible to join the Army. You’re allowing people to come in who have skills the Army can use."

It's all about us. Ho hum!

That girl got me strung like Santana

Life is full of flies in the ointment, like learning that the "WOAH! WHAT THE --" in EMF's "Unbelievable" is Andrew Dice Clay, and that the boyfriend in Ievan Polkka threatens the mother with violence if she tries to prevent his having sex with her daughter.

Aha! Also, euw!

I'm (obviously) a lay person. For many years I thought there was logic, on top of which was built maths, on top of which was built physics. Then I came across an article about topoi, alternative logic (?), and I've been curious ever since -- but unable to understand the answers! 🤔
