Wait a sec. If this is saying anything, it’s that suicide rates increase during Standard Time.Those miserable dark evenings!
“After adjusting for the season, prior to 1986 suicide rates in the weeks following the end of daylight saving remained significantly increased compared to the rest of autumn”

They’re eating the Word Salad

English cricket and the Australian Liberal Party: "What have learned from this devastating loss is to do exactly the same thing next time. Except maybe a bit worse"

Was it puff, though? It may be me watching with sarcasm goggles, but I saw it is a classic 'enough rope' scenario. Let them keep prattling all the way to decades of political irrelevance.

I suspect for the same reason they say 'wide ranging speech' rather than 'obviously thought disordered...'

Yes, what is the writing-on-a-bullet thing? And is it just written in texta, or engraved?
Do they all do this? "Dear Moose, thank you for accepting my bullet". I'm no assassin, but I'd probs say as little as possible.

Helvetica vs the Antiserifs, as they're known. That was a major one, but now they're smooching in the Oval Office

I hate being that overseas guy who says "Hey,USA, you were an international leader in the great democratic project. How have you let it come to this so fast? Where is the organised, resourced opposition to this bullshit?"
So I won't be.

Yes and no. I've no time for her or her party, but this is descending into schoolyard bullying. And to what end? To guarantee they never win another metropolitan seat?

About 140,000 people have died today. All of them were loved and left behind family and friends who are mourning their loss now.
Not all of them made a career of promoting hatred and division. That's a choice you make.

The ABC news used the phrase 'featuring neo-nazis' like they were some kind of drawcard

Yep! I reckon they'll just get funnier!

And watch them get faded, tattered and sadder as the weeks and months go by

It actually makes me a bit sad. I imagine him egging her on - "Go again Georgina, this time it'll be great, and you too can become a punchline in Australian politics"

I think it's the same point expressed differently. He doesn't really understand Victoria, and thinks that telling Victorians what's wrong with everything will draw them to him.

Yes, he really doesn't get Victoria. I suspect he doesn't see the point of it- all southern and woke and all

Striker isn't much into audiobooks, but wants to say 'hi sis' to Ruby

If you have evidence to support this, present it. I'm way past doing other people's homework for them.

Except of course all the evidence of every country in the world with strong gun laws disproves this. Stupid with a kitchen knife kills dozens fewer people than stupid with a sub machine gun

Sometimes, someone will say something on this platform that just . . . resonates!

Dear Magaidiot, small in the pants, incel, chucklefuck trolls,

Yes. I will block you on here.
I put up with enough of your rage jerking on the Nazi rapist hellscape.
I’m not doing it on here too.
Bluesky ain’t for you anyway.
Folks here talk fancy & we don’t fuck sheep.

Now… shoo.

I miss Twitter, where a bunch of people pay $8 a month to post the laugh cry emoji in response to anything anyone says, because i consider that debate

The idea that those on the left will ever agree enough to be an “echo chamber” is rather funny to me.

We couldn’t even agree whether to refer to Kamala Harris by her first or last name.

And that's the real problem for future elections - the worse it gets, the more they'll buy the 'need for strong decisive leadership' BS. The less hope, the more fertile ground for MAGA and whatever cult comes next

A friend of mine who shoots tv recommends Rain Parrot. Its normally pretty reliable

I remember like it was yesterday. Those sweet, sepia-hued olden days when people thought Vance was an odd choice
