For those that don't recognise the reference (and aren't helped at all by the actually wrong alt-text), the gif is of Kunou Kodachi, somewhat evil rich bitch and gymnast from Ranma 1/2, one of the earliest and most obvious examples of the entire 'mad/evil ojou-sama trope' in anime.

"the doctor laughed with a kind of 'Ooooh hoo hoo hoo'"

I am now imagining this as a stereotypical 'jou-sama laugh', and sniggering from the ridiculousness of the thought. 😆

Also, while I'm on the topic of BRS: Why hasn't he been stripped of his VC and other rewards as yet?

Clearly it's not from a lack of evidence. (And not just from those that served with him and yet ere willing to testify against him *in court*, either!)

Though Hastie can probably walk safely down unmonitored alleyways and not have to worry about being shanked or disappeared.

Ben Roberts-Smith, on t'other hand, should worry about that nearly constantly, 'cause his former comrades *HATE* him, and not without plenty of justification.

Yeah, Hastie certainly isn't winning any friends from the guys he worked with for a while.

Not that I expect he had any left after the whole 'using his uniform to promote his political career' crap he pulled at the start of said career.

..ffffffffuuuu~~~

This is also true for Australian history. The main difference is much more that the vulnerable and oppressed tended to have even less supporters and support than those in similar situations across US history.

We don't lack for our own atrocities or atrocious treatment of the vulnerable sadly.

They on the fight over trickle-down economics (reality firmly disagrees, but since when have the media paid any fucking attention to reality?), so now they are pushing trickle-down morality on us to see if they can get away with that bullshit too.

And their eager toadies are hard at work on it, ofc

I still think Starmer is, let's say less awful than Albanese is, but Starmer does have the large advantage of being an entire hemisphere away from me, and Albo sadly, is not. 😠

🎉 HUZZAH!!! 🎉

'Twould be a fine thing, to be sure!

That is a very.. vivid image. >.<

"But C, our billionaire masters are big fans of eugenics, so that's what we have to show all the time!"

I swear other than the minnows nibbling at the edges, everyone working in the media is 100% devoted to drinking the warm yellow propaganda every morning, and then passing it on down to the public

For most people, not only completely possible, but pretty damn easy with those numbers.

Elon and other billionaires? Completely psychologically impossible.

Their entire psyche is fundamentally bound up into their constant comparative dick-measuring contest about who has bigger number?

Chemistry!? UGH!!!

Well, clearly the best way to resolve those conflicting claims is obvious, as anime has been telling us for decades: ANTI-POPE BATTLE TOURNAMENT ARC TIME!

🤣 🙄 🤣 🙄 🤣

Let’s say you don’t want to listen to me, the physicist with a specialty in thermodynamics and fluid dynamics. Here, have someone who says the words you need to know know to build stuff.

Dead to Rights (2025) is now available on YouTube, Apple TV, Amazon, and Google Play. A lot of viewers have been asking for a legal way to watch the movie, and now you can!
This is not a sponsored post; I just think more people should see the movie.

Eh, the forecast I'm looking at has tomorrow listed as 34, and says the weekend is going to be the hottest days in the next week but only forecasts 35 for them.

(I just use the BoM Perth 7-day forecast since the 'upgraded' website went live.)

Completely understandable, but the Dumas ending that they aren't together (and won't ever be) is also Much Sadness.

It is for me at least, though I suspect I'm not entirely alone in that attitude.

Also and always: Fuck you too, Bunuru!

YOU CAN DO IT CATIE!!! 😁

Love this for ICE. I bet most can’t do that job sober.

Amen to that!

Thankfully, the current 7-day forecast has given us a little reprieve for the weekend, it's now only supposed to be 35-35-34-36 for Friday through Monday.

I'll take that over the weekend just gone for sure!

Ahh yes, another industry panel created for and by the government, that'll definitely fix the problem (of needing to be seen to Do Something About It).

Also a downpayment for the cushy post-politics sinecure that is totally not paid for by accepting bribes and giving funding to corp donors, no!

I am VERY glad that you are both Still Alive (thank you, GladOS) and mostly feeling much better!

*sends all the love and hypo-allergenic, long shelf-life hugs*

Pretty much the same (discounting sepsis and slotting in my personal blend of assorted disability and mental health issues instead).

My usual Summer SAD is running rampant this year and Monday especially was utterly fucking brutal on that front.

Fuck off DayStar, I'm not alone in hating you. 🖕 🖕

A First Nations social worker has raised concerns about the failure of the Australian Association of Social Workers to issue a statement in the wake of the attempted bomb attack on Boorloo/Perth's Invasion Day rally, and has urged solidarity against racism nit.com.au/04-02-2026/2...

Nothing more exciting than updates on the hospitalization and his “flu-like symptoms” (plus a punctuation nitpick) but when a locked page is poked a bunch, people notice.
