Lol! Americans angry about the American Broadcasting Corporation censoring Jimmy Kimmel have been accidentally sending their complaints to the Australian Broadcasting Commission. This gives an insight into the level of rage the American ABC is receiving! Justified rage

I chanced across that trailer last night once again. It's aged fast and it hasn't even been released yet!

Me in a red dress over a white t shirt. I'm making a V sign at the camera.

It is a very sunny day today.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

An oldie but a goodie.

I want to parse this at being "a player of appalling chess", whatever that is.

James Dobson Is Dead, Was A Monster | Defector James Dobson was a nasty dude. He liked to beat children and dogs with a belt and to rain misery and punishment on the vulnerable; we know all of this about him because he said as much in public,…

Sign the Petition Not in our name: Women in support of the trans+ community

In just eleven weeks the @nionwomen.bsky.social petition organised by cis women who are fed up with transphobia being imposed in their name has obtained 1,000 more signatures than the transphobic one did in six years.

Transphobia is not popular.

Please sign and share…

A friend of mine has 8 magic sentences

1. Wondering if you're trans is pretty fucking trans.
2. Cis people don't spend all their time wondering if they're trans.
3. HRT is magic.
4. The only treatment that works for being trans is transition.
5. Repression and denial do not work.

Sometimes kids are just trans, and trying to deny that gets them killed, and no amount of telling yourself that surely they couldn't have really been trans because of your arbitrary understanding of transness will change that.

‘Hello pervert’: the sextortion scam claiming to have videoed you How to deal with an email that says your device has been hacked and the camera used to record an intimate act

‘Hello pervert’: the #sextortion scam claiming to have videoed you - www.theguardian.com/money/2025/m... NB: "Do not worry if the phish includes one of your passwords as this has probably been obtained from an historical breach of personal data, rather than through access to your devices."

But he kept presenting himself as a target, though.

"i cant see how the coalition wins from here"

A picture of Antony Green next to the phrase "has Antony Green called the election?"

So I'm not sure Antony has *quite* called it, but we're at least here... #AusVotes

Ooh.... Anthony has called it without saying he's called it. #AusPol #AusVotes25

They left him enough rope to hang himself, I would say.

He's getting such a shellacking.

I wonder what the FTA TV ratings will be like tonight. All the social media I'm on seem to be watching the ABC.

Musk has had an obsession about this for decades. He wants to copy We Chat.

What is the lifespan of software? What if you make software that's silly and full of whimsy? Will people remember it? Anyway, here's a video someone recently posted of “Good Luck, Babe!” by Chappell Roan performed through the composer feature in Mario Paint, a game released on Super Nintendo in 1992

Arturia have released their one of their regular big upgrades, this time to the V Collection (soft synths). Somewhat predictably, I've already heard stories of their website and licensing servers being slow... :) Not a bad problem to have, all things considered.

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

Me.

They need to actually arrest people.

imagine just saying this

Yes Peeps. How long had I called Spud as Komandant SS Spud. And someone in Wagga Wagga (just north of ChopSuey ChopSuey) agreed with me. And WTF is @pollywatch.bsky.social

There's a similar process to "just start making music". Which is why so many music people leave equipment setup and ready to go as much as possible.
